    Do the shutters come down on the poor people who have been queuing for hours or does someone go to the back of the queue and stop anyone new joining. could be fun if its the former

    An idea would be...

    Give them a ticket stub or something allowing them to 'queue jump' tomorrow.

    Good idea for dolescum and students but what about if someone has had specific time off or travelled a fair distance?

    Difficult, but it allows you to go back and queue jump at any time so there wouldn't be ANY waiting around at all the second time.

    And what happens tomorrow when people have been waiting for 4 hours, and a load of people barge to the front of the queue. It will kick off again.

    Ticket office woman told me that ....

    .... they would be stopping folks joining the queue at 7pm, but that just won't work unless they are happy to work until midnight without a break cos the queue is 5 hours long.

    I suspect that once all the away tickets have gone, a lot will think **** it and try again Wednesday or Thursday. The trouble will start when the last away tickets have been sold and there's folks wanting them who have been queueing up for 3 hours and are still nowhere near the front!

    Just been told that they are now queueing up to park cos the car park is full, bedlam!!

    Well it'd have to be explained to them. If everyone is made aware of the situation at the start it'd be fine - it's better than the same people queuing twice for hours surely?! And there wouldn't be that many people with the queue-jump passes, so if they come fairly spread throughout the day, it wouldn't have that much effect on the current queue.

    Why should they moan when the 4'000 have sold out??? Surely they understand before they join the queue there is the chance they will sell out.... If not, they must be daft!

    Dont understand the panic. Fair enough if you want an 'away' ticket go down and get one, but for the game at Oakwell, there is going to be plenty of space for everyone!

    Sooner they sell the 4'000 the better.

    I think the ground will be full on Thursday .....

    .... and I wouldn't risk turning up to pay on the gate if I was a non-season ticket holder
