    Over 20,000 tickets sold with hardly any major queues all week. Indicates to me that this time, the club have got their selling policy right!(Y)

    Definately

    In view of how many tickets we were allowed and the number of season ticket holders I was amazed that people felt a need to queue for hours before opening time on the first day.

    It was a misguided attempt...

    ...to get the best tickets. Little did we know that the club were going to keep them boxed up for hours!

    RE: I got exactly what I wanted

    My conversation went like this:-</p>



    Me: Can I have a 42 pound ticket behind the goal please?</p>

    Box Office lass: No...We haven't started selling them yet. </p>

    Me: Where can I have one then?</p>

    Box Office lass: Here in the corner</p>

    Me: Gee thanks! </p>

    I got there at 0700 and was on my way into town at 10 40 and there was only about 60 in front of me in the £42 queue
