    Just been told that we're having an extra 800 £55 tickets tomorrow. I assume you'll be getting the same.

    RE: Extra Tickets...

    Funnily enough, I've just heard it through someone at our recently formed Supporters Trust.

    When I was queueing last Sunday (9 poxy hours btw :'( ) we were told that there were only 500 £55 tickets available and when you look at the seating plan there are far more than that available - so there may be some truth in it.

    I heard there's been some fun and games with your ticket distributions? Season ticket holders getting denied tickets because a batch of season ticket numbers had got lost. People gettnig charge £10 admin fees for the privelidge of not being alocated tickets. Any truth in any of this?

    RE: Extra Tickets...

    I haven't heard that tbh, but I've been away since I got my tickets on the first day (Sunday before last).

    Don't think that's the case though, I would have got to hear about it I'm sure.

    Been absolute anarchy getting tickets in general though. I had 9 hrs of hell getting mine, couldn't book online etc because we wanted 32 together!

    There were 5 attempted "snatchings" outside the gates and various scuffles because of queue-jumping.

    After s/t holders had taken their allocation by Saturday, they went on sale to people with ticket stubs from the recent Hull game. They were going on sale at 9am Sunday, about 3000 of them.

    Mate of mine went down at midnight on Saturday and was told on arrival he was 315th in the queue!

    "snatchings"?

    unbelievable

    is this people trying to steal tickets off people who've just bought them?

    if so these people are not fans

    Bluebird - do you find it odd

    that all the attempted eBay sales for our semi have pretty much emanated from your mob? I might be wrong, but I don't recall any on there for the Barnsley end. It's a rum do.

    Yes. And no they're definately not fans.

    Apparently it was "youths", heard some were on bikes.

    When word got around, they dissappeared. Funny that, maybe they don't like hospitals.

    RE: Bluebird - do you find it odd

    As far as I'm aware, the tickets on ebay have been for the Club Wembley sections and nothing to do with us - not too sure though.

    Got to say though, the demand down here is still staggering and someone may fancy making a quick buck. Wouldn't dream of it personally - but I regard myself as a true fan. As it happens, I'm in the unenviable position of having a spare as of today (mate I bought it for sourced his own and came up trumps). I say unenviable because who do I give it to?

    I could get rid of it to at least 10 mates who are still looking - that's without going down websites etc. Don't think I'll be buying beer until next week tbh :D - as I've already got a freebie lined up for my queueing and sorting transport.

    Knew the demand would be exceptional after our play-off episode - we apparently had 120k applications for tickets - and the interest in this one seems greater!

    Every man and his dog is a life-long, never missed a game fan apparently (chinny)

    I thought there had been some from Barnsley.

    Some had the ticket numbers covered up for the dearer tickets and then there were some £25 tickets plus coach tickets. I think e.bay removed them all.

    If We Get Another Batch..........

    will the club be putting on extra coaches for them or expecting them to find their own way there with short notice, when most other places will be booked?
