I tried all week for a ticket but no joy anywhere, I think only one or two were offered on here. Got to the ground early and walked up and down asking for a spare but no joy. Was loitering near the coaches 20min before kick off about to head round to home areas and try and get one in there when a bloke overheard me chatting to guy next to me about tickets. Comes over and says are you sorted, no mate can’t find one anywhere, here you go pal have one of these, pulls out about 10 tickets, fair play to him only asked face value, could’ve kissed him I was so happy. Looked like the kind of chap who can get you whatever you want. Thankyou mate if you’re reading this.

Obviously I’m happy as fuck I got in but the wider issue is that fans who had an amazing number of loyalty points but narrowly missed out are deprived of going because someone inside the club is taking the piss.

FFS someone is abusing the system in a big way by the sounds of it. Gave up trying to source a ticket and watched in a pub. Did you ask this person if he had any spare for Brighton, he probably has a few hundred
 
Our coach parked behind a coach provided by the company called Swanns.

All of the passengers got off and all were foreigners, a good 48. Sounded Scandinavian.

How does that happen. I going to guess thar Swanns will be providing the 26 'free' coaches to Wembley.
 
This talk of employees in the ticket office wheeling and dealing tickets on the side in car parks is scandalous.

Where are they getting the tickets? Surely there is some accounting traceability for the 60% general allocation @£30.

Sounds frankly like stealing IMO.

the only thing i can think is if there is freebies coming from players/corporate left behind/returned and will otherwise go to waste. Still doesnt make it right.

I guess this is how some end up with the OSC last minute via Parker?

Bournemouth’s a very small ground as you know.

Having been allowed to buy a ticket because the corporate bunnies didn’t want to go on a Monday night, yes I do know.
You may also recall the club offering the SC extra tickets the day before the game which they asked the branch down south to shift.

I believe they were originally only given four for Southampton. Which went on general sale.

Presumably that’s because people just go and stand with their mates, rather than their actual seat.

There were a fair few empty seats near us basically because it was a shite view where you couldn't see the bloody goal so plenty moved to where they could see.

Am I a corporate bunny ? I’ve always seen myself a cute and cuddly :-)
 
Just been talking to a blue who knows someone with a box at City. Got him to ask about Brighton tickets, he said £100 per ticket, and he’s a rag. Told him to stick them up his arse.

And that’s what we’ve been saying for a while.
Some Corporates buy the tickets to sell on at a profit to pay for their perks.

Yet our Forum rep says it’s none of his business and it isn’t wrong as they can do what they like with their allocation, ignoring the fact that it is illegal, even though it’s his demographic who are being shafted
