Clearly the allocation to points severely drops rather than the hospitality allocation.Was just trying to think of reasons why it would be so low. Quite a poor do for less than 30% of available tickets to be distributed correctly. 60% is barely acceptable - this is a slap in the face.
I think I might still get one but mates not far behind me have got no chance.
the bell and crown is a superb pub on the river for those going down.
The only other thing to consider is that not all the 'available to points' tickets appear online. Some of the phone allocation is separate and not 'available' to online purchase.City state that they often hold tiks back as part of agreement with the home club. Therefore the online availability is misleading. For the last 3 games this has not been the case. No further tickets have been added. They also state that the true figure for each window is not seen by those online as supporters have tiks in their basket. You cannot have a ticket in your basket on the first window as it strictly opens at 0900. You can fairly accurately see the number sold each window. The number of tiks dropping each window is in keeping with the derby and other games. Something doesnt stack up and i cannot see anywhere that city are making 60% available. Im happy to be proved wrong!!
Surely the two systems should be linked ?The only other thing to consider is that not all the 'available to points' tickets appear online. Some of the phone allocation is separate and not 'available' to online purchase.
They are for home tickets.Surely the two systems should be linked ?
Oh hang on ;) it’s city’s ticket office!!!
I'm not sure that's true, if so why do online and phone sales sell out at exact same time?The only other thing to consider is that not all the 'available to points' tickets appear online. Some of the phone allocation is separate and not 'available' to online purchase.
I don’t think they’re entirely separate. Just that a proportion might be available for the phone line and not on line. Just going off previous experience. Tickets definitely get added sometimes as blocks appear/disappear/reappear periodically. It’s all very difficult to be sure how it truly operatesI'm not sure that's true, if so why do online and phone sales sell out at exact same time?
Ur right it's impossible to know..some transparency would be good. For the last 3 awsy games, no extra tiks were added once sales startedI don’t think they’re entirely separate.

Lack of transparency is the problem.I don’t think they’re entirely separate. Just that a proportion might be available for the phone line and not on line. Just going off previous experience.

Maybe someone at City Matters can ask the question?Lack of transparency is the problem.
But I'd love to see them try to justify less than 30% of tickets being made available.
