Does raise a smile how “new fans” always get pillared as the ones responsible for being negative, when people I know and have been going with for many years before our recent success are some of the most negative and whiny people you could wish to meet!
Absolutely no issue with this. It’s not ideal if you’re on a tight time schedule but not much else they can do.
I did see someone at the Malta home game in 2023 scan in and then immediately ask to leave via the fire exit. Impressive in a weird sort of way.
Doubtless already been mentioned but the way England sort their away tickets works pretty well in my opinion. You apply into a ballot, the top 70% of cap holders/loyalty points that have applied get a guarantee ticket, the remaining 30% goes randomly across everyone else that has applied. It...
Great thread.
In the middle of having two under two at the moment. Know the words to Stick Man off by heart, watched more Sesame Street than anyone should be subjected to and not sure I’ve slept past 6 in two years. Wouldn’t change a thing though.
We were going through the turnstiles about an hour or so before kick off and just as we were about to be searched one of the Brighton stewards instructed “no more checks, let’s just get them in”. I imagine if you went before this cut off you got checked, everyone after probably didn’t.
I heard two different versions of the “We’ve got super…” song. The people around me in the stand were singing “We’ve got super Bob De Zerbi” with “Welbeck in attack” and then outside it was “Super Rob De Zerbi” with “Fergie in attack”.
For those still waiting for the email I would recommend using the web chat feature on the ticket site. Connected to someone straight away yesterday afternoon and tickets were sent over in about 5 minutes. They didn’t confirm, but I think the issue was that I purchased a league away ticket in the...
Without knowing how many people in each band it’s difficult to comment too much, but it appears the tickets sales for their trip to the San Siro are also quite slow.
I meant in respect of having to sort out c3000 ticket collections on the day of a game in another city. Wasn’t meant as a dig, just that the FA are used to doing that and we obviously aren’t.
Yeah I’ve never had any problems with it. Well organised with no dramas. Yes sometimes the queue can be pretty long but if you can go the day before it’s dead simple.
I did wonder when the club announced the “collect tickets” policy they were imagining allocations of around 1,000 or fewer. Now...
The only thing I would say, is that is works well because the FA take over a decent amount of support staff to organise everything. And obviously they are very well practiced at doing it. If the Albion only take a handful of inexperienced ticket staff it could be less than smooth. I’m sure with...
