I was thinking this as well. It's touting, pure and simple.

I live in Newcastle but do no a few Tamworth fans,Henry and his mates great set of lads,they played gateshead in a fa cup game a few years ago and drank Gateshead high street dry.Screw this, been threatening to get non league season tickets for a while but now's the moment. Been flirting with Solihull Moors but think time to nail our colours to the Tamworth FC mast. Might even get to see City as well depending on how the case goes :-)
It worked for me yesterday.Does anyone trust the 'e-mail me when it is my turn' option?
I mean, the tickets had sold out about an hour earlier, but the email arrived :/
My expectation for today, is that at the current speed, I'll be at the front of the queue around 9pm tomorrow night. Still, on the bright side, once everything has sold out, the queue might speed up a little.

I'm in California - it's 2:22 am and having clicked the button at 2 am, there are still over 69,000 people ahead of me for West Ham in January... Went to my first home game in 1971, 53 years ago. At the rate the queues going down it'll be another 53 years before I can buy this ticket!Any in the queue from West Coast of USA ? I was up at 4.30 on East Coast to log on :O
My conspiracy theory is that it's touts joining the queue on 20/30/40 devices each who then hoover up tickets to all the games as soon as they can get access. How else can you explain the sheer amount of tourists at every game?
FairThe club.

The club are a disgrace - I'm fuming on this - to be able to buy memberships this morning and have no record with the club and get as many tickets as you like is a joke. They do not give a toss about the fans and want to maximise revenue. I'm only trying as I have a 5 year old and a 7 year old who are really engaged and would like to go. Otherwise, I would have given up and accept that the club is lost to me.
Started at 9k, now down to 7k.Anyone got in yet?

Thought the tickets only went on sale at 10 am (UK time) - didn't know you could get in a queue before that.

I wouldn't doubt that seeing how many tickets show up on viagogo-esque sites but also we're just one of the "new cool things" for Americans.
The Prem has blown up in the US over the last 5 years. We've won 4 of those.
The comedy Ted Lasso on Apple TV was a massive sensation over there. We're the most prominently featured Premier League team on the show.
There are going to be the bandwagon fans who just want to come over and see the team they've been lifelong fans of for the last few years.
It's why the club release tickets the way they do, in one giant batch. It gives the day trippers time to plan.
I genuinely believe they'd get rid of season tickets if they knew it wouldn't bring about absolute chaos.
