Col U ballot

[Jim Smith 2,314]

Everyone I know who was in the Cat 3 ballot for Col U appears to have missed out. Bit suspicious of this as would expect at least a few of them to get in.

Question for those who were successful - did you tick the Club Cabbage box on the application form?

I was in group 3, and was succesful. Got two tickets through this morning for me and my dad.

Yeah we chose to go on the coach. But this was only because it was the easiest option, not because I felt it would give us a greater chance of getting tickets, if it has then oh well, doesn''t bother me [:P]

I got a ticket (well I havent seen the ticket but I have an £18 debit in my bank account) and I did not tick the coach.   Seemed pointless for a journey that will take about an hour and a half.

We were unsuccessful (presumably) and wrote "No" in the coach box.

[Hucka Hucka Huckerby 0]

Me & 3 mates missed out, unsurprisingly we didn''t opt for club cabbage!

[Kathy 733]

I was successful and didnt tick the box.

There you have it then, it makes no difference. Just the luck of the draw.

we got tickets and ticked coach travel :)

The only question left now then is... did anyone who did tick the coach box miss out? [:P]

I''d like to believe you but i don''t feel these "ballots" are as random as they might be. Certainly the recipients of the tickets for Portman Road in recent years have tended to be a certain type of fan that might be considered "lower risk" or more likely to travel Club Cabbage!

1. No it''s not. I''ve been to far more away games than 4. Unless you mean 4 this season - which you didn''t say so I would have misunderstood. In which case Colchester will be my 4th this season (Though I''ve tried for more, they just ran out!)

2. What has that got to do with anything. Why would I pay for you? How has that got anything to do with you throwing your toys out of the pram as you missed out on Colchester tickets.

aint you the clever little fooker cause u have tickets!

I do feel that these draws aren''t as "random" as the club would like us to believe, try proving it though. I''ll be honest if I worked in the ticket office, which I don''t, and had to do a random draw to acertain who got tickets on top of my usual duties I would sort out the high priority groups first then whichever group was oversubscribed I would pick however many tickets were avaliabe from the top of the pile, I suspect this is how this happens, I always apply as soon a i can and have never been successful and always opt for club cabbage.

Interesting point Jim.

I wonder if claiming your rebate at the beginning of the season has a bearing on your Colchester ballot brownie points rating ?

If that''s the case then those who waived their rebate and are prepared to suffer the torture of Club Cabbage must be in line for two tickets !

Just so you all know, they haven''t finished going through applications yet. I went into the mall this morning and was told they are only half way through them as sorting out Walsall refunds/coach travel has priority so for those of us that havent heard yet there is still hope.

How can they have doen a ballot then if they have not finished sorting the applications?

[wedgie 0]

I got one and I''ve only been to 2 away games this seaspn and probably 4 last season, I have never been on club cabbage and I took my rebate. Infact I never missed out on any away ticket yet for any games that I want to go to, and that includes Ipswich for god knows how many years. Its not what you know but who!

[Ren 75]

wedgie - you are confirming what we are all thinking. Sham!

[anon 0]

I have never once got a ticket when I''ve been in a group 3 ballot. Sometimes I tick coach sometimes I don''t.
