Re: Queue already
6Same here. From what I remember of trying to get tickets for Leicester / Man City, one either got a recorded message saying it was not possible to connect the call because of volume of traffic, or it rang (sometimes for a minute, after which you either got a "not been possible to connect your call" message or - presumably - you got through). An engaged tone today makes me suspect they've taken the 'phone off the hook!
EDIT: Just seen Bob's message above, so clearly some people can get through. Fingers crossed I can get lucky today - I had 600-odd unsuccessful attempts on the 'phone for Man City. A guy can't be that unlucky twice, surely!

That’s great news Bob and I’m sure everyone is pleased for you!
Hope to read about your quick success many times in the future!
Enjoy the game!

Re: Queue already
10Woo hoo! Tickets sorted, in under 50 attempts. The chap was very quick and efficient in handling the call too.
Re: Queue already
11I've also bought tickets over the phone this morning.
It took 73 attempted calls.
The phone then rang for almost 5 minutes before being answered so if you get that far, don't be tempted to hang up.
I agree the guy on the other end was very efficient.
I did ask about away tickets but the guy selling today didn't have the details for away sales.
Good luck to anyone who has yet to get through.

Re: Queue already
12So good to hear that people are having success with 'phone sales. Just returned from the queue. Estimate approx. 1 hour queuing time. Appears to be moving a little more swiftly than previous occasions.
Re: Queue already
13Thanks to AmberExile for the phone tips. I got through on my 107th engaged attempt. After 4 minutes of phone ringing it got answered. Glad I held on Amber Exile. Excellent staff got ticket sorted swiftly. I am not based in the city so this saved me a logistical headache. Hope everyone on phone and queue at Parade gets their tickets as planned.10 years ago the idea of County having regular demand for big game tickets was a dream. Great Times.
Re: Queue already
14It sounds from here as though demand has been lower than many of us anticipated. Certainly the queues are shorter and the telephone lines less jammed than on other occasions this season. Do we think we'll sell it out? I have my doubts, although I'd still expect a +7k gate. A pity that lots of people who'd turn out for a big one-off cup game against Premiershi* opposition can't be tempted for an arguably more important one-off league fixture.
The short notice and the fact that it's a Thursday night might have had an impact, but after Saturday's result I was assuming it'd be a sell-out whereas now I'm not so sure.

Re: Queue already
15Trouble is, people don't quite see it as a 'one-off'..... Now, if we'd have gone there first and got a result, and it looked like we'd qualify for Wembley with a win at home, the place would be packed. It's a night game too (is there a 15% rule?) so I'm anticipating something like 5050 County + 790 Mansfield... so 5840.Kairdiff Exile wrote:It sounds from here as though demand has been lower than many of us anticipated.
