Carpetbomber 0 Posted May 17, 2015 Can''t understand why people queue for tickets. There''s a little thing called the interweb and it''s very convenient - you should try it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted May 17, 2015 The queue should''ve been just you, then :-) It is odd, old habits do die hard for sure - I don''t trust the net for banking, but being in Surrey was more than happy to trust it late last night (with a 2 min wait) for my tickets!!

......and Smith must score. 1,310 Posted May 17, 2015 Queue ? Because that what the British do, especially some ST holders who got up early on a Sunday to wait outside the Ticket Office in the p*ssing rain just to claim their ticket for yesterday''s match even though they had 10 days to do it.Even that''s not as bad as the Russians were during the hard-line Commie days of big shortages when the joke went that if a Russian saw a queue outside a shop he/she would join it without asking why it was there.

Online you meet interesting people with a perspective of supporting City from all over the world. You meet a lot of planks too. But plenty of them also live withing spitting distance (so to speak) of Carrow Road.[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 50 Posted May 18, 2015 Problem with the internet was the 5 minute sessions, I was kicked out 4 times before securing my tickets and then had to buy two with somebody sitting between my son and I. this doesn''t happen at the box office as you can talk to people.

Howson is now! 0 Posted May 18, 2015 My mate had to go and queue as the system didn''t recognise him as a season ticket holder. When you don''t have telephone lines open to help when the machines have failed you, what else can you do? Damn machines will be the death of us! SKYNET will kill us all!Someone else I know said they just couldn''t work out the website. Some of our older generation of fans just aren''t able to work the internet and instead opted to queue. Don''t blame them. I remember having to operate Sky TV for my Nan because she couldn''t work it out.Some people have different circumstances, it hardly impacts your life does it?
