Mine are showing as purchased in my account in the online ticket portal but haven’t had my email yet…

I don’t think any situation or system would’ve helped but I also understand that things could probably have been smoother. If I’m honest they probably should’ve sold solely online, I know folk would moan but it probably makes things easier becauee you’ve no idea show many are queuing up so you don’t know how many to sell over the counter.

I remember queuing for a gig a few years ago and they limited it to 1000 over the counter sales. Lotwrelly wen drown the queue handing raffle tickets, once they’d handed enough out to cover the thousand they stopped folk queueing.

Are you practising Welsh to get in the home end at the Racecourse next weekend?

Tickets sold out. Real shame that so many fans won't get to attend.

I know of atleast 2 people who managed to get a ticket in the queue today when they are not a season ticket holder.

I appreciate that with the queue being so large it may be impossible to check everybody is a season ticket holder when purchasing a ticket especially as they are under pressure to keep the queue moving but if I was a season ticket holder who missed out because of that I would not be happy!

Hopefully they were the only two who slipped through the net

So does this mean they won’t be going on general sale then ??


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Facebook already littered with blatantly obvious scam accounts with ‘tickets for sale’, which unfortunately people will fall for.

So needless

Quoted from Les Brechin
Would be interesting to see what would happen if hundreds of fans who couldn't get a ticket turned up on the night.

What would Notts plod rather do, have hundreds of drunk off Town fans wandering around Nottingham or let them into the ground (where they will obviously be plenty of room) where they know where they are and can keep an eye on them.


Thats if they get passed the check points

Silly old me, I thought once Mr Fenty had gone and we were being run by professionals everything in the garden would be rosy.

Having queued all morning and observed what went on and listened to Debbie’s explainstion there are two entirely seperate issues..
1 Club needs to decide what’s a fair way to allocate between those who queue and those online. Running both in parallel makes it a lottery and  resulted in neither working because the ticketing system couldn’t cope and online had to be switched off for 3 hours so the queue could be moved.
2 There are clearly issues with the system itself whatever basis of allocation is selected. At the he end of the day after waiting for  3 hours all that we got is a preprinted cardboard ticket sent in advance  from Nottingham and taken from a pile behind the counter if you flashed a season ticket card .In the bad old days before on line sales and few season ticket holders several thousand tickets would be sold from the ticket office between 2.15 and 3 .00 pm on match days .Today it took 4 hours to sell probably a thousand to the queue.
