The vast majority should be sold online. Fully mad in 2022 the club are giving priority to anyone capable of queueing up outside the ticket office on a work day.

This is has to change. They’ve got so much right but this needs to change ASAP. If they’re desperate to sell face ti face then 100 max. No more.

I know people who literally live in Blundell Ave that aren’t able to go and queue up.

Agree. Makes no sense whatsoever. The ticket office is one of the areas of the club that still needs improving/work. They’ve made strides in the last two years since the new owners came in but still a way to go to make them operate in the 21st century.

We managed to shift more than 13,000 tickets online ONLY a month back. All this will do is force at least 750 people to be queuing up in the sun first thing Monday and put plenty of noses out of joint.

If they insist on ticket office sales they should......

Have a smaller number ot ticket than on sale on line
Limit sales to a max of four ticket per person (except were accounts are linked)
Charge a fee at least the same as online sales.



The best way forward is a points system, so if there are only 1,000 tickets available they make them available to the 1,000 highest points fans first, then if there are any left 24 hrs later offer them to the next highest point fans, and so on. Then as long as you have the points you can buy online. over the phone or in the ticket office.

Based on previous sales of tickets through the ticket office it will take 2 to 3 hours to clear the queue on Monday morning . Have they not seen the red warning . Asking the largely older group of fans to queue in the sun on Monday is madness if not dangerous.Whoever took that decision needs to be considering their position.

As I said, if they insist on selling face to face, for games like this with limited tickets and maximum interest it should be 1 for 1, no more than 100 over the counter, one each. No fornicator with 10 season tickets, just one person, one ticket.

The rest, online, first come first served until they’ve gone.

Until they’ve figured a better way which probably relates to points etc that’s the only logical and fair way to do it…

I hope they have a rethink. They’re smart and responsive people. They’ll pick up the vibe that this needs to change…
