In the second half of last season, the Club made some late returns available through the Face Value Facebook pages. These were potentially available to anyone (who uses Facebook).

Whilst you always think I’m having a go at SC this is a post about Corporate who returned them and the bracnches were then asked to get rid for them.
The bottom line is there were up to 100 seats or more empty and that can’t be acceptable to anyone who wants ours fans to be there
Perhaps the rep should be asking why returns are allowed so late in the day when real fans have lost their chance to buy.
Were they empty though? The number of our fans who remain on the concourse the entire game never ceases to amaze me.

When we walked past the ticket office at 11-15 the queue was massive and they all seemed to be West ham fans so had a 100 city fans you would have to get there 2 hours before kick off
From what we've heard there will be a dedicated ticket window for City fans to collect their tickets staffed by City employees. Each club has been approached and asked if they are able to provide the club with this facility on a match day. Bournemouth and Brighton were the only ones unable to do so I think so obviously there'll be no collection required at those grounds and I doubt the club will want fans queuing outside at places like OT and Anfield.

The club come up with all this shit about points ID checks etc then sell them to anyone regardless of points. If you buy a ticket you Carnt return it 7 days before the game but the chosen ones can do as they see fit?And what was wrong with putting them up for sale through their own ticket site?? Unbelievable!!
Wouldn't be surprised if they pull this shit for Bournemouth after shafting everyone. Assume pb will be venting his spleen?

Ask the Club. I’m guessing they were preventing empty seats.

So ask the Club.
Maybe the site and systems aren’t responsive enough to sell the tickets and make sure they reach the buyer within a day or 2.

I will ask the Club, now that I'm aware of it. Seems a bit odd that we have site/systems that are so inflexible. Besides which they could easily have put some "News" out saying call the ticket office?!?

Maybe so but the Club has ticket partners who help them sell tickets so this sort of thing is nothing new.

I think you have misunderstood my point.
The club doesn't need help selling away tickets and if they do end up using faceback then that is a disgrace.
How badly organised is it that they can't set a deadline and stick to it? Also it shows there are a lot of real fans being deprived of tickets while the club wastes them.

Do you think the ticket agencies take on selling Premier and Corporate seats and boxes without guaranteed away tickets?

Good luck. You'll probably get called a bellend. That was his stock response previously to questions about away tickets.It’s a disgrace when there are lots of seats empty for a sold out game.
If I bump into PB on Saturday, I will ask him to raise this issue.

It's been a long day, down at West Ham
