    Which makes me wonder
    how come we have had guys and gals queueing for 4+ hours to get a ticket when there are now, according to the lass behind the ticket counter, loads of tickets left.
    THEY HAVEN'T SOLD ANY TICKETS FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE WEST STAND.

    People were queueing for their season ticket seats and away tickets - those seats are the scabby ones in the West Stand

    Because they/me have queued for specific seats or areas of the ground and for away tickets too.</p>



    I see we've got to the play offs which has upset some and so now it's time to have a go at the club for summat else.</p>

    I queued for zero seconds

    Just walked up and got me ticket. However, I went to try to get me dad's season ticket seats at about 11:30 on Tuesday, saw the queue and thought, '**** that'.

    Dustbin lid size ?

    Yes. I think things could maybe have been done better, but I chose to queue at the time I did, due to other factors and so am not whinging on about it like a spilt liitle brat.</p>



    Just a pity that maybe there'll be empty seats tonight where ST holders chalked fvck on queueing and went and got another seat, and with the near sell out announcement today, folk may not bother going down tonight on spec and so miss out.  </p>

    I actually wish I'd waited and gone and paid in the west stand toneet

    Got a ticket near the front of the Ponty. Views not great but its the leg room or lack of it thats gonna bother me. There's far less near the fron than there is up the back. Serves me reight for being an oversized fat Barsteward.

    The club were always going to have a difficult time selling so many tickets in such a short space of time. The only reasonable option I've heard was for season ticket holders to turn up on the night with one of them special voucher things and £20, pay through the turnstiles and sit in their usual place. I hope someone at the club takes that idea on board.

    Cracking idea that. It's just if ST holders don't turn up then the club can't sell that seat on.</p>



    However in this case there was the question of buying away tickets too.</p>



    Look at me, problem finder general.</p>

    I thought why haven't they just used these vouchers when I was flicking through my season ticket after being in the queue for about 3 hours. WOuld have still be there for away tickets though!

    "Got a ticket near the front of the Ponty. Views not great"

    It'll be better for you than the guy behind trying to see past your hair!
