Gone over my head has that.


Panic by The Smiths - Lyrics

Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again?
The Leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the Grasmere
But, honey pie, you're not safe here
So you run down to the safety of the town
But there's panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself
Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music they constantly play
On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
Provincial towns you jog 'round
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ

Quoted from HerveJosse
I know 8 people who would have gone today if I they could have got a ticket


Add 4 more. In fairness it’s my own fault for not being more on the ball post-payday but we wanted 4 together and by the time I got around to it there wasn’t any in the ground.

Kept a check on but when checking on Friday there were 0 tickets to purchase.

Not going to rant and rave because there’s an element of my own fault but if we’ve experienced issues with tickets this season and lack thereof (something which historically hasn’t been an issue), if we have a more successful one next season then I think the club will need to look at how to maximise getting actual people through the door, which would - as someone has mentioned - likely mean an actual incentive for ST holders to make their seat available.

It’s been an odd one this year. There are loads of season ticket seats around me but the seats always seem to be occupied by different people from game to game.

Anyone know what this is about? Some kind of corporate scheme or a syndicate?

Quite a few who have come along I don’t think even were even particularly supporters.

Well according to some on here unless there is a mob of people outside of BP demanding tickets then they don't actually want to attend. It's as if the Internet never happened to them and people don't just look online and see its sold out and shrug that they can't go, which is what actually happens.

They probably think all those online posts asking for tickets for the wimbledon game are just fenty funded bots as part of a campaign of disinformation.

There were 4 blokes next to me that I’ve never seen before, and there were a couple of others on the same row too. Great if they’ve got tickets that have been relinquished by ST holders, but I suspect this isn’t the case.  They all seemed neutral. I suspected they were Wimbledon fans due to southern accents, but no, they weren’t (they didn’t have much to cheer, but they seemed on the fence throughout, shall we say).

Something is definitely going on with the ticketing. My guess - completely unwarranted - was that they had freebies. And this was in the Upper, which according to the official website is all ST holders. I tell you now, it isn’t.

Going to be interesting to see how many seats are available once the early bird phase ends.

There some seats for sponsors that are not in the directors box block. I had a couple of these for Forest in the Osmond end block of the Upper.

They need find a way to give season ticket holders incentive to release their seats if they can't go or they just won't


This is massively important going forward.
There are hundreds and hundreds every game in prime positions.
Why not give the season ticket holder at tenner if it gets sold?
Saying this worked and at a low estimate 300 do this every game.
£13x300x23= £89700.
Surely we could do with that cash.

The thing is we have been "sold out" on numerous occasions this season. Just imagine what it would be like if we have a great start and are right up there. Demand will be massive.

I hope Jason and Andrew, who I really like, address this ASAP.

A tenner is definitely too much, a fiver maybe,at most.

Why?
It has to be worthwhile and it is money down the drain if the seats could be sold.
Admittedly it depends on demand but it is likely to be high.
