Fuming!

[BTH]

Question: Where's the seat you wanted? And where's the seat you've got?

I was offered one seat about six rows in front or another one about seven rows across. That, however, is not the point. The game won't be played for another three weeks. Putting all the personal abuse aside, I would have thought that you'd still be able to get your own seat just a few days after they go on sale; I wasn't aware this had changed. However, it appears that there is no guarantee that you can get your own seat as early as the first day of sale. In the natural order of things that surely can't be right...

Even allowing for Gareth Barry's goal, I'm fuming. I've just rang up for my Bayern seat only to be told it's gone. They only went on sale four days ago! Apparently, any season ticket holder can buy anyone else's seat regardless of whether they're a season ticket or not... and from day one!

Surely this can't be right???

As anyone got the nerve to tell him it was an own goal?

Yeah, I clocked that later, but I was typing just when it happened and it looked to be Barry on TV and The Grauniad also gave it to Barry.

people shoulda learned from last year you need to be on the cup scheme for the benefits, cruel but reality.

Its not right, not everyone is going to be able to attend every home Champions league or Carling cup game because they are all midweek fixtures. For me, all season ticket holders should get 48hrs to buy their own seat. Having said that, most on the cup scheme will have been allocated their own seat. If you had phoned on the first day of sale there would have been a good chance of getting your own seat, although I know that's not the point!

I see your point, Noel. In the past we have always had a protected period to reserve our own s/t seat for cup games.

However, I think the club have this right. Our midweek cup attendances have been consistently poor. You still have the option to guarantee your seat. All you have to do is commit to the relevant cup scheme. What is it, a maximum of 6 games in any one competition?

If you cant manage that why should you get preferential treatment when you do decide to turn up for one? 3 decades, 2 fanzines and a million pints in the Nelly dont count.

Even better is that you are still not guaranteed your own seat when you are in the cup scheme.

Hell's bells! Really?

I miss my old club...

New City
New Labour

Just me that cares more about being in the European Cup against the biggest and best German Club side a opposed to where i will sit? Think about this, would you have taken a restricted standing bench for a CL match after we lost 1.0 to Spurs?

The rules were explained before the season, if you didn't take the time to read/ understand them its your own fault.

I do love my own season ticket seat though, thats why i sit in it for cup matches bar the FA Cup. Do i moan? no

 

[Puppet Master Silva]

To be fair, I didn't get my seat for Villarreal and got put in an absolutely wank one, life goes on though and stop fucking moaning about it. Pick somewhere with a better view/atmosphere.

If I was claiming my football tickets on expenses I really wouldn't fume about it. See it as an opportunity to justify an upgrade to corporate hospitality.
