    Just had a call from La Dent de Crolles to say that the queue for season ticket holders has been "closed" - they aren't allowing anyone else to join it.
    Aopparently one guy who had travelled 150 mile had been turned away!

    Thanks to Andy for the call though….as I was just about to leave work to go….I'll leave it til tomorrow but suspect I'll miss out on an away ticket.

    All this is going to do is make the season ticket holders go buy the general sale tickets and we'll have a few thousand seats that can't be sold.

    "Can't organise a p*ss up in a brewery" springs to mind!

    Well if I go down tomorrow and the queue is massive I'll just buy 3 tickets from the general sale queue and watch the away match on TV.

    Is this a temporary or a permanent closure of said season ticket queue - ie will it reopen again today circa 6pm ??

    season ticket holders can buy 4 home game tickets, so if there were normally any spare seats near you, then you would have been fine in your usual spot.

    Season ticket holders couldnt buy extra tickets from the box office and they were obviously selling the other tickets in random blocks from the turnstyles,so you've got no chance of getting the spare seats near you,unless you are very jammy
