Have you been told that by the club & not from the non-existent dots on the online seating plan?!? Ha.
Marvin said:You haven't thought this through have you.sniff said:I know your all doing a very good job counting all the seats on the website, but stop wasting your time.
The online system only release's seats for sale at set intervals, and is in no way linked to the system they have at the Ticket office.
My friend who works their just laughs at the fact people bother to count them an use it as an indicator.
His response, dont bother, you may as well just say the first number that come's into your head, It has as much chance of being right.
It must update in real-time otherwise it wouldn't work.
I agree sometimes it's misleading as they don't put all the blocks up for sale on the planner, or only put part of the blocks up. But this time, they put whole stands up at a time, and you could follow the sales if you wanted to.
The only area with significant numbers of tickets left is now the Upper Tier of the North Stand, so it's a pretty safe assumption that 1 or both 3rd tiers will go onsale tomorrow or Wednesday

So you also were not told you HAD to sit on row A of North stand lower?
Just Dave's dad then. Unless he made it up ofcourse.
Hmmmm strange.

Right ive explained that the system isnt linked to the main system, but the main system can access the website. Why has it got to be real time ?
People buying tickets hava a set period to complete the transaction, if they do not the tickets are put back on the site for sale. Its easy and how Ticketmaster sell all of their tickets.
so what the ticket office see and what we see are in no way the same. If you want to buy a ticket from the web site you buy from the website allocation.
if you buy on the phone you buy from their allocation, if you phone the club and not the ticket line, you save a booking fee and have the ability to book any seat in the stadium. unless they are being told to push certain areas
so it is working in real time on the allocation the website is allowed to sell at the time, that bears no reflection of the actual ammount of tickets on sale.
So in effect counting the seats on the website, is pissing in the wind.

No that doesn't make sense sorry.

Name me one reason why i would make this up. Just one, humour me.
I'm telling you what happened .
Funny as fuck you "checked" though. I presume you had it down as a wind up like the khaldoon thread....
I feel intimidated ;-)
Look the only area where significant numbers of tickets remain is North Stand Level 2.sniff said:Marvin said:You haven't thought this through have you.

well do tell in what way, dont want to blow your mind. Its fairly easy to understand the concept that website and the out sourced ticket sales get give allocations.
EG... website will be given 20 blocks to sell, the company who sell on the phones will be given 20 blocks to sell. On general sale, these dont include relocation or SC holders.
Their system only shows what they have left of their 20 blocks, When they have got through that lot then the main system at the club can release more to them.
So saying that only counting seats and working out that you have xxxxx left is only accurate to what they currently have on sale.
That in no way means that the club hasnt stil got another 20 + blocks not yet avaliable to the website.
Which would clearly explain why my dad was only offered seats on north stand row 1.sniff said:SWP's back said:No that doesn't make sense sorry.
