11,869 people ahead of me in online queue.
1That is at 10.01 this morning. Wait only 24 minutes though, but obviously hopeless.

2Yes, and even when you get through the queue you get timed out and have to start again. Not sure how Ticketmaster works really but there we go.
When a mate got through the queue, the ticket map showed a whopping total of 3 tickets left. Obviously not sure how accurate that is.

4So if away shirts are trying their luck on general sale, the sheer numbers will shut out genuine fans from getting a ticket.

5I went on at 9:30 and there was already a queue system in place. I was 2800 in queue. I got in at 9:53 to find tickets already on sale and no 2 together with just the odd seat dotted about here and there and with wanting to take my son had no chance. The club didn't communicate anything until 9:56 on twitter by which time it was pointless

6Ticketmaster need to learn how to defeat web bots. They will have sucked up most of the tickets before any real person had a chance to join the queue.

7See my post on 'real fans' - its a nebulous and meaningless term - good luck to anyone who gets a ticket I say, they will enjoy it and bring money into the coffers, if a few Man Utd fans get 'home' tickets well who cares? - we have no 'beef' with them and there won't be trouble if people are sensible (the Leeds game saw a LOT of Wales based Leeds ans get 'home' tickets - there was no bother whatsoever).excessbee wrote: January 22nd, 2024, 10:15 am So if away shirts are trying their luck on general sale, the sheer numbers will shut out genuine fans from getting a ticket.
Anyone who misses out can watch on TV and buy a far cheaper ticket to the Swindon game instead.

10You are correct, I've been watching The County for 55 years and I don't have a ticket for the Utd match. The potential for trouble with away shirts in with the home fans is pretty high !! Not the smartest move from our ticket office.excessbee wrote: January 22nd, 2024, 10:15 am So if away shirts are trying their luck on general sale, the sheer numbers will shut out genuine fans from getting a ticket.

11When I purchased my season ticket plus 1, the system thought I was a bot, simply because I had signed on on my laptop, rather than my phone.Amberexile wrote: January 22nd, 2024, 10:29 am Ticketmaster need to learn how to defeat web bots.

Ticket master do have a system that allows a ticket to be sent to only one recipient. The ticket has a bar code with a blue line that scans back and forth, so no printed option, and no option to re sell.
It is obviously their premium product and would be priced as such, and only viable for large venues who constantly have problems with ticket sales.

12Not digging you out personally but an awful lot of people seem to have been piping up with he old 'been watching county for years mate' line...if it were true in every case we'd have had 6,000 every game this season!reg county wrote: January 22nd, 2024, 11:38 amYou are correct, I've been watching The County for 55 years and I don't have a ticket for the Utd match.

I really don't think there will be any bother - yes there will be the odd over excited nick head and drink may have been taken but in general it will be a lot of half and halfers and families and people who have 'been supporting County for years mate - which ones are we again the ones in the red or the yellow?'.
If you can't get at ticket to the Utd game come along v Swindon far more chance of us winning and it'll be a good atmosphere.

Over the years I've had seasons I've used it more than others think I missed one home game last season other years I've missed 6 or 7 depending on my rota and my annual leave
I don't smoke, hardly drink anymore stopped sky sports to pay for it
It helps the club I feel good about paying up front to help my club and I've got to see spurs man City Leeds Leicester and now United
It's a gamble you take being a ST holder other years you don't really benefit except helping your club

Plenty of Leeds fans in the Hazel when we played them and no trouble
Re: 11,869 people ahead of me in online queue.
15Yes I don’t buy into these sob stories when so called fans can’t get a ticket for a big game.
Most genuine fans are ST holders and turn out for most of the games.
It’s the same in other sports as well, no doubt in a few weeks time we’ll have the Wales rugby fans saying they can’t get a ticket, again most of those without a ticket don’t watch their local side.
But I do agree with the distain shown against the greedy touts.
