I'm going for my son, not me. I wouldn't be going if my boy wasn't bothered. If trust members other than me had been complaining yesterday and I'd sorted my tickets, I'd have sympathised with an awful experience for them.
Clearly you're just a bit of a *******.
Nah, I just have a good nose for hypocrisy and knee jerk melt-downs.
How do you feel you know other people's situations so well, that you're able to be that judgemental?
It's January, we got paid early in December, we've got 4 kids, we've just taken them on a family holiday, it's a week until payday after a 6 week month, we've sacrificed today's game to do this one, I've sacrificed a day's pay and more to get tickets, then the window gets slammed in your face.
How would you feel?
The ticketing could/should have been handled far better, however the hyperbole and highlighting personal circumstances (pleading poverty, etc) is just unnecessary and invites people’s criticism/scepticism.
You queued and were left disappointed and frustrated we get that even those who seem not to (sarcasm or gallows humour doesn’t translate well on football forums).
Hopefully the club will learn lessons as may fans (buy cheap season tickets to guarantee 2x online tickets, put money aside for potential post Christmas FA cup games, etc.) ultimately the club is responsible for distributing tickets (and they arguably haven’t done that well albeit with mitigation of short turnaround, etc.) but not for how people pay for them and £30 for adults is a very fair price point and even x several per family tickets would not come to that much (a fortune for some but probably far less than many spent on Christmas presents that have already been chucked in the bin) so on that the club HAS got it right.
