AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

RE: So should all 6,000 wait until Thursday evening?

Totally inpractical with the box office layout.

 

Wednesday at 2:45 OK?

 

RE: So should all 6,000 wait until Thursday evening?

-4,000</p>

The 2,000 that arent going to Huddersfield should wait till the Hudd tickets are sold out </p>

 

What if they don't sell out until Friday?

 

Depends....

...whether their fellow ST holders have finished flapping their books and grabbing all the away tickets and whether they'll start crying if they have to queue for their privelages.

 

'or go a few hours before KO'

cos everyone can do this, we are all on the dole or at college

 

RE: So should all 6,000 wait until Thursday evening?

one q could come in through the club shop and the other come in through the box office doors.

 

That was ****.

 

Hang on.

I'll get one of the box office girls to deliver it with a bunch of flowers.

 

RE: What if they don't sell out until Friday?

Then the season ticket holders who are just going for home game will have no choice but to join the queue, I'm going for mine about 3pm tommorow and i reckon the away tickets would have been sold out by then.

 

Cheers

 

RE: 'or go a few hours before KO'

if u finish at 5pm, that is 2hrs 45mins before KO, is that not a few hours, its certainly a couple

 

Everyone finishes at 5

and starts at 9

 

RE: Everyone finishes at 5

**** me that was an example!! ok everyone finishes at 7:39pm do they and then has a mad rush to the ground. I dont know what time people bloody work it was an example based on what a lot of folk work! cant be arsed anymore, got my tickets so couldn't care less really

 

Windy ... so what?

Seems a barmy thing to argue about but if someone wants their seat they HAVE to go to the box office. They have no option.

Most people, rightly or wrongly is irrelevant, will feel that they don't want to risk a last minute queue at the box office and miss any of the match (lets face it. If only 300 turn up shortly before the match the ticket office will grind to a hault).

I queued because I wanted away tickets as well ... such is life but I wouldn't criticise anyone who turned up at 3pm, having been told that the ticket office was open till 7pm to then get turned away for thinking f'k it, I'll go get another seat from the turnstiles. Why should they keep coming back Wednesday and Thursday? Not everyone has that luxury, jobs and all that tend to get in the way.

The only real solution is the one that I think SuperTyke posted yesterday. Tell season ticket holders that Special Match Voucher A plus twenty odd quid on the day is their ticket (or in future print a Play-Off voucher in the book to remove all doubt (making it clear additional payment will be required)) and that way those that just want home tickets don't even need to turn up at Oakwell until the day.

Those that want away tickets as well can be spread amongst three turnstiles and the box office and job done.

You're hving a go at folks for wanting a ticket and having the audacity to assume that if the box office closes at 7 then they'll get a ticket if they turn up at 3 ... I'd have done exactly the same as them in their shoes rather than risk queuing out the door on the day.

 

Eh?

Is that posted in the right place?

 

RE: Ah, I see.

Well I was going to go yesterday after work (leaving work early) but got a call to say the queue had been closed - fair enough given the numbers there.
So going today after work but no point me finishing early as I have to pick the lad up first and take him with me.
Failing that seeing as I'm going to the game tomorrow do I then make another trip straight from work or go home first and go to the game 30 mins earlier?

Result on the last scenario means joining the queue of all those season ticket holders who live out of town and perhaps couldn't make it.

Most likely outcome - I go this afternoon….if queue is too long I'll get them from East Stand instead and then sit in my usual seat at the game.

 

Season Ticket Holder Behaviuor

As a season ticket holder living in Southampton there is no conceivable way I can pick my ticket up. I am in Stratford on Thursday on business until 5:15 p.m. so there is no way I can get to Oakwell in reasonable time to get a ticket for my seat. No surprise then that I've asked my sister's other half (season ticket holder in the Ponty) to get me a ticket. My sister just rang (1:20 p.m.) to say he had got me a ticket in the East Stand Upper. She says he said there were only 40 seats left to choose from when he got the ticket so it looks like it's going to be pretty full - except for me and my two sons' ST seats in the Family Area..................

 

the box office has two doors, one at each side

one set in throught the left hand door, the other through the right hand door. non season tickets at the turnstyles.

 

RE: ST holders don't have to queue for their HOME tickets.

No we know they dont but if i could get mine before hand theres no way i would turn up at 7-30 pm on thursday night to pay on the gate and risk missing kick off.
