Here's an idea: they could send the tickets for the two competing teams to the competing team's ticket offices for them to sell and then use See Tickets for any neutral sales. Too simple and not as easy to fleece people I suppose.

If you want to sit up in the gods. The equivalent to what I've got (block 103) would set you back £62 (plus booking fee naturally).

Well they're charging Bristol Rovers fans £36 to sit up in the Gods!

Why couldn't we have just waited to sell out the entire lower tier before opening the upper tier, there is still plenty left according to the see tickets website.

Surely if they sell tickets to all 24 clubs and fans buy them on the hope that their team gets to the play-offs, it's inevitable that some "neutrals" will be more neutral than others. I'd be annoyed if I bought a ticket and it was switched like this. Plus doing on address is so arbitrary. Fans of teams live all over, especially a big city like Bristol.

There could also be a chance that a few Bristol City fans have bought tickets in the neutral area. This was going by a post on their forum though, so whether it is true I'm not sure.

Those with the vouchers are being given tickets in the ends of the teams which they support, rather than sitting in the neutral zone.

The biggest member up here is giving the 'neutrals' some of the best seats in the house which has presumably lead some Rovers fans to chancing their arm and getting away with it. The neutral fans shouldnt take precedence over the fans of the teams going.

I couldn't believe this very popular and pointless thread had dropped down to page 2.  It needs some re-energising!!

I didn't know LJL was selling tickets - is that for 'sausage fest'?

Those who bought £10 vouchers should surely be given the worst seats, not those paying £40.

This ticket fiasco that the Conference have arranged manages to be both the worst of commercial rip-off Britain and amateurism.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
