GenerationA47 751 Posted July 23, 2019 Don't bother trying to get Anfield tickets everyone... the Waveneys have just taken our allocation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted July 23, 2019 Got mine too . I’m away for 3 weeks in South America from mid August so thought I’d better get this one in. last time I went to Afield Suarez had a field day and they won 5-0, so I am prepared for anything. We want to see our team up against the best so playing the actual champions of Europe is great (not some team who’s fans have still not got over losing the final in the 70s).

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted July 23, 2019 Personally I went on to canaries.co.uk and then onto the tickets bit on my iPhone, soon after 9 this morning. it came up saying I was in a queue and then after a few minutes I got through to the normal ticket purchase screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobsworth Canary 168 Posted July 23, 2019 Only waited a couple of minutes at 9am online Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,317 Posted July 23, 2019 Since everyone buying them today was guaranteed a ticket then not sure why anyone was worried they wouldn’t get one. Tomorrow will be interesting although the West Ham ticket sake is likely to be the big test of the new system I would think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted July 23, 2019 I've lost track TBH Jim. I think if you're in the 10+ away games/priority membership category you're certain to get a ticket if you buy it on the first day, but is that true for all grounds eg Bournemouth ? And I've no idea how things have ended up for home games, I'll worry about that when I get back from holiday in September !! So today I just figured I'd better grab a ticket as soon as I could get onto the website after 9am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes if you are one of those 750 ish people then you have 24 hours to get your ticket before they go to the premier members so provided you do it within that 24 hours then you are guaranteed a ticket. I think ex ASTs now don’t even need to do that so the reality is that there are about 500 people trying to buy in the first 24 window. Tomorrow there could be 6500!

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted July 23, 2019 It’s different for home games though. Based on Newcastle you will need to log in at 9am and cross your fingers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted July 23, 2019 ...so do they put a certain number aside for online sales...another number for anyone (highly unlikely) who get through via the phone....and another number again for anyone queing up....maybe even now?..9pm the night before...at the ticket office. We can expect this pantomime to be played over many times this season. ...I'm not blameless , as I only attended 8 away games last season, but those 8 deserve to be in a higher priority than a £50 fastest finger on the button lottery. Shame on you Ben Kensall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray 111 Posted July 24, 2019 Based on what I know, Ben Kensell may not have been the driver/designer of this new scheme, however is being left out to dry, so to speak. The scheme would have been approved by the Board and BK is simply the front man. I think we should cut the individual a little slack in terms of giving him personally a hard time, give him a few messages to take back to those who approved the scheme by all means, but to lay all the anger and blame at his feet is, in my opinion, somewhat unfair and invalid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nonsense...this lays at his door....clearly no experience in whats involved in actually trying to get a ticket and the liklihood of its problems....and certainly cant have researched it .....for the record...went on the online ticket office bang on 9am...already placed in a 30 min queue.....and surprise surprise, zero chance of getting through by phone Edited July 24, 2019 by GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CDMullins 436 Posted July 24, 2019 Job done... Did have an eerie moment, Had it setup on two devices. Desktop - 7 Minute wait, got in after 9 and because I had left two tickets in my basket from last night it wouldn't allow me to book. Laptop - 12 Minute wait, got in after 14 minutes, signed in, two tickets done. Rang ticket office at 9.00.04 - Phone lines closed. Rang at 9.00.014 - lines full.
