And randomly disconnected. Such a frustrating morning for something that is so easily solvable.

No luck with the phone line. That's not a complaint, just reality. I get a line busy message on screen and not even a ring tone and the can-can. No problem as I can get mine tomorrow, although the +1 will be in a random place.

I assume that was online. For some reason the club have decided not to sell tickets to trust members online which they did for the Wrexham game. Just another sign that there is very little regard for trust members.

Not seeing much sign that HJ has improved things this morning. No wonder they say there will be plenty of tickets left after season ticket and Trust members have bought if only season ticket holders can actually buy.

Has anybody bought a ticket by phone today yet?

Think you have to have a ticketline account

I do have a ticketline account, but for some reason they have made this match online only for season ticket holders and not Trust Members so for trust Members who cannot get to the ground, the only option is to phone which doesn't seem to be manned.

I don't know if they will allow that as you have to prove you are the Trust Member you claim to be when buying your ticket. I do have the fallback of buying in person on Saturday after the match if I can get served and get to my train home in the 2 hours they will be open for but I'll bear your kind offer it in mind, thanks.

I've just bought 2 in Block D of the Compeed. My own seat in was gone, nothing available in the row that I sit in.
There were only 3 seats available in the Block and I bought 2 of them. 1 in Row J, 1 in Row K.

I wonder if that's because some season ticket holders are mistakenly thinking their seats have been sold and so grabbing whatever they see available.

Not sure how much longer I can cope with listening to "the can can".

How ever did I survive the first 40 odd years I was on this earth before the advent of internet technology?

A f@cking sight better than I and it appears virtually everyone else, manages now.

I think that must be the case, as numbers wise the Compeed and Bisley shouldn't have sold out on the basis of season tickets plus 1.

Some will have decided not to use their seat as they want to sit with the plus 1, meaning that some season ticket seats will become available.

With 4 serving at the ticket office, to me it is understandable that phone sales could be a second priority.

Ahhh I didn't think about that. So it's going to look like it's "sold out" because ST holders are sat elsewhere? And then we'll all be back on Monday for general sale. <facepalm>

It wouldn't surprise me if there was a rush on Trust membership after the fourth round draw was made.

With the cut off for eligibility being the day after the draw, I'm not sure how many would have made it and be fully paid up in time is they set up a standing order.

Or because they want to sit next to their +1.

People queuing for 6 hours over at the ground. I'm about half way there at the moment.

2 people working at the ticket office.

Other ticket booths laying empty.

OAPs queuing up in this cold.

Complete shambles.

I agree to an extent but at least some of those people could have bought online (surely not everyone in the queue is a trust member a % must be ST holders who can buy 2 tickets online even if that % takes the queue down by even an hour it'd help) and there is tomorrow and after the game on Saturday as well - it may be Baltic but at least people can wrap up its not p'ing down nor boiling hot - club could/should have done a PR exercise with a sponsor for soups and rolls to be dished out perhaps?

Tomorrow will probably be far quieter as eager beavers will have been all over it today.
