Well it looks like the absurd decision to

[TomHeffernan]

only sell the derby tickets to season ticket holders has finally bit me on my arse. Why do season ticket holders need fucking tickets? They've already fucking got one!!! Ffs I honestly thought I'd get one this morning.

Don't have a season ticket and don't have any kids for the family stand. A fucking joke and the first derby at the lane I have ever missed in my lifetime. Right fucking laugh.

They did sell them to members before st holders.

I'm sure someone on here can help out mate.
My dad has got mine for me, but what's the problem? We haven't sold out have we?

500 loyalty points?

Think only family area tickets available

 

[TJB.]

Not to kick a man when he's down, but there was fair warning that tickets were extremely low at the weekend, and again yesterday. You could've used a friends' ST number or asked someone nicely on here if you could use theirs.

I'm assuming the reason for using the system is to try and severely limit the chance of pigs being on our end? Friends of ST holders or members with 500 points?

About 170 tickers left in John Street stand/ Kop corner

 

[blade too long]

only restricted views left now apparently

os reported at 2pm yesterday

There are approximately 100 seats remaining in the family stand and approximately 20 clear view single seats and 70 restricted view seats remainining in the Pukka Pie corner.

The Hualing South Stand, Westfield Health Corner, Kennedys Kop and Redbrik Upper are completely sold out.

so less than 200 left then and been selling like hot cakes since then, be all gone for definite come lunchtime weds at the latest

 

[TomHeffernan]

500 loyalty points?

Yes mate of course but missed the first 2 days which was my mistake. Realised straight afterwards and just been hoping ever since

 

[TomHeffernan]

it's sold out unless you've got kids. Wanted kids my whole life but my ex wife couldn't have them. I'm been punished for that now too! Haha

Yes of course I've got the points but it was only for 2 days right at the start and I missed it, didn't even know they were on sale. Surely if you're registered, have been for a while, got loyalty points that should be enough? Why have to be a season ticket holder? Why should I have to go on a forum and beg people I don't know for one?

Anyway it's done now. That's fucking that.

I don't want to sound harsh, but if you were desperate to have a ticket, you would have got one on day one. Well that's what I would have done in your position. You can't really blame ST holders when you have made a cock up. Sorry.

Correct. It's his fault he hasn't got one.

I'm not blaming season ticket holders. I'm blaming the clubs decision to only sell them to them. I've admitted my mistake to missing the first 2 days but the decision to only sell them to season tickets after that looks silly.

 

[Jersey Joe]

The pukka pie corner still has a few restricted view tickets available.

There are still tickets available according to the OS;



Pukka Pie corner, restricted views but still...

FYI if you bought a membership card you could get a ticket for this whenever, assuming you had 500 points.
I bought a ticket for the Kop yesterday at the same time as my membership. £55 in total so not too bad all things considered.

 

[Jersey Joe]

I think they're available to anyone with 500 points now.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Why have to be a season ticket holder?

To get tickets you didn’t have to be, simply having a £25 annual membership would have been enough. If you’re not a season ticket holder I can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t get one – particularly with the demand for away tickets.

We have 3 season tickets, I have only bought 1 extra ticket. The other 2 season tickets are juniors although i don't think that makes any difference. If you call the shop and clarify with them that I can buy an adult ticket with one of them, I'll get you one of the remaining tickets.

The OS, as Tom says, states only family area tickets available. So he can't get one on his own.

And some Blade knob has got his Wendy mate a ticket, I know the Pig and have told him it's a seriously bad idea as he's sat on his own.

You have to bring a child along to get tickets in the pukka pie corner.

What? I could have bought them at any time? Wtf? The site said and I quote:

Tickets are on sale from 9am Monday 18th December to 17/18 memberswith the minimum of 500 loyalty points.
Only one ticket per customer number is permitted.

Tickets will then be on sale to season tickets holders from 9am Wednesday 20th December.

So I could have bought it and any point? Why didn't it say that? I've been waiting for over a fucking week ffs!

 

[Rodders]

If TomHeffernan didn't sort out a ticket in time, is he counted in the attendance?

No LOL

Fair enough, genuinely never realised that corner was effectively family stand, just assumed it was the same as the South stand etc...

I read it as from that date onwards, not stopping once season ticket holders are able to get one.
Just get yourself on the reserved list with the club & keep an eye out on here & the Facebook groups, I'd bet you'd still be able to get one from somewhere.

The club changed it after initially giving preference to ST holders for a second ticket. I was the first on here to criticise that policy and presumably many more fans contacted the club directly (l am a ST holder btw).

 

[Jersey Joe]

I'm pretty sure you can buy a single ticket in the pukka pie corner.

Not sure what that's about, I went on the website about 10:00 yesterday, picked up one of the last few tickets on the Kop & a membership at the same time, all went through without a problem.
