[Jobsworth Canary 168]

Just purchased mine system today worked as smooth as you like

cant wait

OTBC 

[SwindonCanary 457]

Lucky you, I've got the Priority window, but due to others in my group I have to wait 'till tomorrow, to ensure we all go. I hope there's some tickets left.

[splendidrush 720]

Really hope we win this one, not least because my brother is a Hammer and in pre season he said that he'd never heard of any of our players and that we'd need to spend to survive. 

God, I hope we do a number on them....

Yes, apart from my usual glitch in not remembering my password all went well.

Good luck to all in the queue tomorrow.  If you get the option from what I've been told Lower Tier tickets have a better view.

[Darth Canary1 92]

I shall be logging on 9am prompt tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll get a ticket!

[spencer 1970 214]

The away game I was most looking forward to...now just happens to be when I'm away although the Ryanair Pilots are doing their best to balls that up for me too. 😡 Double Turds!

[TIL 1010 5,246]

Something tells me it will be carnage in the morning.

[Wroxham Bridge 27]

Just been offered a hospitality ticket, (unfortunately no colours and sitting in the home end) but it will be one less in the queue tomorrow morning.

 

[Jobsworth Canary 168]

So there are about 7000 going for the remaining 2200 tickets tomorrow 

let the carnage begin 

[TIL 1010 5,246]

Anybody spotted at West Ham wearing a half and half scarf should have their membership cancelled without a right of appeal.

I think we’re getting 2800 so leaves just 2050 after close of play today. No wonder people who managed 8 or 9 aways last year are peed off.

[Feedthewolf 5,885]

I'm sure this has been covered before, but can anyone enlighten me on the relative merits of website, phone or ticket office? I'm planning on logging onto the website at 9am, and I'm aware that the phone line was a bit of a lottery... did anyone go down to the ticket office in person? Does anyone know what proportion of the tickets are reserved for buyers in person and/or what the queues were like?

Why have we only taken 3000 ?

Guess the club have our £50 now don’t give a toss

There is a way of beating the odds for tickets if you are clever!

I’m sure we’d take more if we could but under Premier League rules we’re only allowed what we’re given. 

It’ll be the same at Old Trafford and their capacity is 75,000

PL rules are 3000 or 10% of capacity which ever is the least

[lincsy88 106]

I'm planning on heading down the ticket office in the morning, assuming this will be the best chance, was thinking I'd rock up about 8am and wait.

Did you (or anyone else) do that for Liverpool tickets? Just trying to gauge if it's worth going down that route or just playing the 'fastest finger first' lottery on web ticket sales.

I didn't mate. I had to work so couldn't make the Liverpool game. I am just thinking I'm off work tomorrow it surely won't be as busy as phones/internet so why not just go down there even if I have to kick about for an hour or so.

I couldn't make Liverpool either. I have a meeting in town starting at 9.30, so don't think I can risk it unless I know I'm going to be right near the front of the queue... guess I'll just stick to the web. Would be interested to know what the queue is like, though - good luck!

Same to you buddy. I will come on here after and let you know how I get on, fingers crossed!

This makes you wonder why the club sold 7,000 away memberships when at tops we are only ever going to get 3,000 tickets for Premier League games.

Money spinner nothing more and nothing less.

[Branston Pickle 4,150]

No - you,will always sell more memberships than you have tickets, there’s no way of knowing who can/can’t go to a game or who will/won’t want to go. It’s the same process often used in giving out tickets to (usually free) events - plenty won’t use them and if you reach capacity you just stop allowing entry.

3 thousand memberships for 3 thousand tickets and allow a week for those to be claimed and then if there are tickets left over put them on general sale. It will stop the farce that will take place at 9am in the morning with everybody at exactly the same time attempting to access the system by laptops and phones not forgetting some that will get up at silly o'clock to get to Carrow Road waiting for the doors to open.

That's more like sense. 

[nutty nigel 7,902]

That's what it boils down to. An elite group of 3,000 fans and everyone else gets the scraps.

This system is far from perfect but a closed shop of 3,000 would be worse. Who gets to choose the elite 3,000?

Makes the £35 memberships a waste of time/money though. 

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035]

With 2 and half weeks to go until the game could they really not have staggered the sale dates for another two days?... fans who went to 5-9 games last season....then 0-4....then members?

....shame on you Ben Kensall for not thinking this out clearly
