I was re located from the 3rd level due to it being given to Huddersfield. I was given a seat in level 1 block 117. On the email and text from City I was advised to use either entrance S or W.
Now I admit I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but even I thought, in any alphabet, there is a fair gap between S & W . But hey ho City don`t make mistakes. (ha)
Anyway as i come from Joe Mercer Way the first entrance I see is W with quite a small queue (relatively speaking). I take my place in the queue and I am soon searched and wanded and activate my seasoncard. At this point a steward tells me I can`t get to 117 from there as if I turn right it is blocked by the glass tunnel and if I turn left I can`t get through due to away fans section. He advises me to go back out and re enter by entrance S. After explaining my seasoncard has been activated he says he will get security from outside to take me around and re enter me (whoooer). The security outside says he cannot move as hes been told to stay on that queue. The steward then tells me to stand there whilst he gets another steward to escort me to S.
I now feel like a kid outside the headmasters office, whilst everyone in the queue thinks i`m some sort of undercover security. Maybe this is why they told me to get there early. Eventually someone is available to escort me to entrance S.
Now surely someone in our wonderful ticket office would know that due to a glass wall being built then access is restricted and inform fans correctly. Or then again just keep telling everyone to get there 60mins early.
Piss up and brewery spring to mind.
