This is fine, but don't give me this shite.

Totally agree, had there been a real issue why did they continue selling tickets on Friday and again yesterday? There are undoubtedly very few tickets now left, so why bother opening on Monday for only an hour or so?

The club have stated that there will be a substantial number of tickets available. At a quess hundreds of allocated season tickets and the extra 1000 temp stand that wasn't shown on the online option.

Why are people still trying to justify the behaviour of the queue, in choosing to ignore what they have been told, when by doing that, it is precisely the root cause of problems?

Amberexile posted earlier about Kevin Ward showing how easy it was to pick up a full entitlement by waiting, and receiving ridiculous abuse for pointing out visually to people not to panic buy.

Seats in the ‘extra’ stand were being sold on Thursday, I can state that as fact because 4 were purchased that I’m certainly aware of. They were sold because apparently they were only ones left at the time, which was 6pm that day.

If you are in the ticket office faced by a mob what would you do?

People who sign onto the website can put tickets into a basket for half an hour, so those tickets are unavailable along with the actual season ticket. They would also be unavailable to ticket office staff when dealing with the queue. It doesn’t actually mean that those tickets are unavailable after half an hour, as some would prefer to release and see if they can get some closer to a preferred location. The availability thus changes in time but ticket office staff only have what they can sell at that precise moment, particularly when pairs are unavailable.

If you're in a ticket office serving people who have been queuing all day, why would whoever was in charge risk turning them into a mob? Braindead.

I completely agree with you,choosing to queue for six hours, instead of 15 minutes, and then taking it out on ticket booth staff is the action of the brain dead.............

Do you have your tickets, yes....................
Did you and hundreds of others use the available times effectively, no..............
Is that a problem caused by the club, no...............

The great shame is that the fantastic organisation of the club to issue details of ticket sales 15 minutes after the Eastleigh game. To get the temporary stands transported and erected starting at 9am the following day, and to fill them for the Wrexham game, gets overshadowed by hundreds of people who simply can't wait, and collectively cause their own issues.

People started queuing at 4 am, so the ticket office has a backlog before it opened. That is only going to get bigger if people turning up are not willing to see the queue and act responsibly and walk away.

The club staff are then not pressurised into possibly having to decide who can stay in the queue, and who has to be excluded. That decision should have been made sensibly by those in the queue, using the knowledge that tickets will still be available. Collectively the fact is, it wasn't. So it is then a cop out to blame the club for decisions that should have been taken collectively, but weren't.
People hoped that sheer numbers would force the clubs hand. That is mob rule. It is not acceptable.

I have already said that IMO it should have been phone sales only, so no queues.

Going forward, if people are only in the trust to have an allocation of tickets for big matches, then surely consideration has to be given to better ways.

We had half season tickets on sale with an allocation, perhaps quarter season tickets would be a cheaper, better option than trust membership?

I really enjoyed Saturday, the game, the good performance, the enhanced atmosphere of a massive crowd, who behaved extremely well.......

All opinions but it’s now how I saw it. I wouldn’t want any family member of mine to have to hear that after putting in the shift those staff members did. They didn’t know it was a joke and the ticket office manager has a duty of care. If some thing had happened I’m sure there would be 5 pages of discussion here about the club not protecting its staff.

Joke or not and regard less of the the circumstances that’s no way to carry on.

I'm not trying to start another line of personal argument here, so please don't look upon it that way. I've dipped in and out of this and other threads about ticket sales and you seem quite sure about people claiming a double allowance (season ticket and trust). Is this through personal evidence or 'a mate told me'. A rumour like that can spread quickly, especially through social media.
What if the situation actually was someone who went along with two trust membership cards (or details) and two season tickets (for a second pair of people). He/ she could legitimately walk away with four tickets (or even eight) which would be the allowance for the four persons involved. This may have included two for an exiled fan unable to come down to queue, an elderly fan likewise indisposed, someone at work. One person queues up on behalf of four. Surely that's an efficient way of getting tickets?
