am i wrong for going a bit annoyed about this? (blackpool)

[tueartsboots]

Right, I've just spoken to I need to you know with me 'not having a clue' and it seems I was wrong about Spurs, it WAS a sell out (see dw7 you were wrong too, you said it was ALMOST ;-)) HOWEVER, it was nothing to do with the OSC taking extra tickets. The supporters club took minimal allocation of tickets. So, I apologise for being misinformed for a while but it still proves my original point.

See dw7, I'm big enough to back down at the point where I was wrong :-)

fair do's

if the supporters club took a minimal amount (i dont know what it was) its what they asked for but they wont get what they ask for for blackpool

London branch returned nearly 30% of there allocation

 

[dw7]

And this brings us to the original point - if the members have the required points they will get as many as they request!!!!!!

as far as i know the osc request x number of tickets befor they go on sale if they ask for 500 and get the 500 for spurs away for instance then the other 2500 will go on sale to other supporters minus what corps and sponsers get

but if they ask for 500 and only get 250 for blackpool then the rest will have to get their tickets the normal way

Ahh, brickwall... how are you. I'm just going to bang my head against you for a while.

PMSL. You're on my Friends list now.

Come on then lads please tell me why it is not OK for the OSC to ge ttickets but Ok for all the other organisations

 

[squirtyflower]

There's nothing I can do to prove it, which is why I said believe me rather than claiming to be able to prove it (how COULD you prove it by the way?), but I have been around enough supporters branches and their members to witness it going on. I wouldn't dream of naming names but there are people on here who have had tickets they wouldn't normally be entitled to ie getting tickets to the away derby without having a season ticket let alone enough points.

And there lies the truth.

Now.

Why can't the OSC branches submit a list of names with their respective loyalty points, who wish to attend the next away game? Once the loyalty point criteria has dropped for each applicant, then the ticket get's sent to the person at the OSC organizing the tickets. If it's good enough for us, it should be good enough for every OSC member(waiting until the points have dropped, so you can get/claim your ticket), regardless of the amount of loyalty points you/they have.

And no, it isn't any extra work for the OSC branches. The person orgnaizing the tickets will eventually get all the tickets, as and when, and they can hand them out on the day of the match/journey.

As I have already stated. YOU JUST WAIT UNTIL DUBLIN OR WEMBLEY. IF WE GET TO EITHER FINAL, THE SYSTEM VIA THE OSC'S WILL BE ABUSED TO F***, UNLESS CITY CLAMP DOWN ON IT BEFORE HAND.

FUCKING BRILLIANT
they don't even need the names
they have all that on the database, they just need the supporter number

Regardless.

Let the OSC do a bit of work for their tickets. When I ring up to buy an away ticket, I have to give my Supporters number and 'then my full name', even though it's on the system. Touche! 'Fucking brilliant'.

Obviously you missed the bit about Dublin and Wembley.(on purpose?) Go on Mr OSC, tell me everything will be done by the book, and the only tickets to be claimed and allocated will be to those OSC members who have enough loyalty points. My ARSE! Your living in denial and in dreamland fella. I can smell the bullshit from here. ;-)

Sorry Squirty. ;-)

Sorry I was busy slamming my face repeatedly into bricks and mortar ;)

In all seriousness if you can't see the difference then were at a loss already.

When applying for tickets through the OSC, the official form has Full Name, Customer Number and OSC membership number. If this information does not match i.e name to sc number, sc number to Osc number then the application will not be processed. And for everyones info, for the past 2 seasons all applications for big games, Derby and now Blackpool will go to the Gen Sec of the OSC who will decide how many tickets branches will get, based on how many the OSC receive. Once your branch has it's allocation, then in all fairness it is always the members with enough loyalty points who get the nod. I am sure there are branches who bend the rules but for god's sake dont tar us all with the same brush.

I also think the op is out of order by throwing this grenade in the room and fucking off sharpish. Read the op, it doesnt make any sense and is based on supposition. Who puts a deposit down on a ticket when the club dont even know what the allocation will be.

Sponsors put a lot of money into the club and expect something for it. Of course it pisses me off that people who want to entertain clients and may have no interest in football get tickets but if you were a patron of the Halle or the Royal Exchange, you'd expect tickets.

Players get them as a perk for family/friends. I don't see why they can't pay for them like everyone else and if they sell them on they risk punishment.

But the OSC consists of fans of the club who have the same opportunity to buy tickets as non-members.

So please, after asking umpteen times and you avoiding answering, tell me why the branches SHOULD get tickets. I could understand it in the old days when it was more difficult to get to the ticket office but why nowadays when there's phones, computers, e-mails, etc?

There are arguments for & against & i am not bothered either way if they get them or they dont ,but i cant get my head round you & other people slagging the branches of when most if not all will do everything by the book when many other organisations ,groups agencies get them without a murmer of discontent .most away games any fan who wants a ticket will get them so i dont really understand why you have such a bee in your bonnet .thought there would be many more pressing reasons to ge tyourself all worked up about

We all have bees in our bonnet about something. That just happens to be mine. But I'm not slagging the branches but the system and the individuals who abuse it. I'm starting a new thread about whether we need a supporters club at all.

You could argue that Official Supporters Club Branches provide both an organised voice for Fans alongside a source for Tickets and Travel for those who require it.

Exiles will also be able to meet more Blues when there might not be so many around where they're based.

There's still some wankers in my Branch.

OSC do abuse there power for tickets. I went on a coach trip to a game last season where tickets were like rockin horse shit. There were people on that coach who were no where near old enough to get enough points, then there were adults who had child tickets becuse they did not want to pay the full price. So please no one tell me OSC do not abuse the ticket distribution
