Ticket Update Part 2

wrong wrong wrong! just back from oakwell

got a yellow ticket number 955, they guarentee to serve up to number 950, but shutters will come down at 5pm. were about 30 in queue and they are serving up to 70 per hour. you can also get tickets for wednesday game too

 

Been darn this morning. Got their at 8 ,served at 10, once office had opened the queue moved quicker than i thought it would.

 

So she was right then

about them not issuing pink tickets anymore!

 

RE: you were one of many on saturday

I went down this morning at 7:45 and started to que. Got a ticket handed to me and was told I would be 30-40 mins. It took 30 mins and I had my ticket in hand. No problems. Got the 3 season ticket places in East stand and 3 in Ponty together.</p>

Why thepanic.(dunno) </p>

 

RE: you were one of many on saturday

That is 30 mins after they open at 9.00 of course

 

No Queue jumping!

Don't care what she told you. Totally wrong to what happened to me today. Got to club at just after 9, got a YELLOW ticket (712) was told it's number would be up in around 2 \ 3 hours. Got back after 12 told to go to front of queue.

Got my ticket and I didn't queue jump. Oh and if I wanted to I could have got extra Wednesday tickets but has I only got tickets for my own and friends seat I didn't need to do that.

 

Like Corparal Jones says .... DONT PANIC DONT PANIC....

 

Came across as smug nt

 

Just got back too...

raffle number 961, got told we wouldn't get served, stayed and queued anyway for 2 and a half hours and then got served. bit stupid like but i got what i wanted and that was my ticket

 

Well I am smug... got my ticket nt nt

 

what a stupid system though nt

 

Was referring to original post

which is why I resorted to name calling which in hindsight was a bit childish. I don't work in Barnsley so can't nip down at 7:30, get a raffle ticket then pop back at dinner time like t'owd lad. The only time I can get are outside normal 9-5 office hours and weekends. On Saturday/Sunday they were only open for 3 hours and if you didn't get there early, you didn't get a raffle ticket. I just think the whole thing has been a fiasco so I was a bit annoyed when someone came on with &quot;What's your problem, why's everyone hysterical - I've done all that 7 till 7, 24 hours, 7 days a week stuff&quot;</p>

Maybe I should have got there at 7:30 instead of 8:45 but that's my own fault.My next chance is tomorrow night before the QPR game when I can get there for about 6:15 but I'm not really expecting to get served before the game kicks offso it's likely next Saturday morning for me. I've calmed down a bit so apologise if I caused any offence. </p>

 

not at all............

I had 900 yellow-asked at the back of the queue -was told to go straight in and was 3 from the front -perfect -well nearly</p>

 

Why did you not do a postal application then???
Also for QPR its all pay on the night so what is problem there, queue up and get one tomorrow night.

The club did say that you could apply by post, and they would have preferred that to people queueing

 

Nail hit bang on head.

&quot;All it needs is someone to use their intelligence and think.&quot;</p>

Come on Mr Rowing, we're waiting.</p>

 

RE: you were one of many on saturday

Thanks for the helpful replies.

I will take your advice and give it a try tomorrow morning, especially if I can leave and come back later.

Replying to the comments - I did not apply by post as there is no security in place as far as I can see - I am not giving my credit card info out and I want an extra QPR ticket next to the 3 STs we already have. I don't want my brother in law having to sit miles away.

Cheers for the replies.
