reading tickets selling fast {merged}

[SWP's back]

Re: reading tickets selling fast

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.

If you eventually get your head round it, mr intimidating, an apology would be the polite thing to do.....

Bollocks mate and you know it. Your Dad called up - just like I did. Not seperate systems in that extreme. Online had level 2, the phone guys had level two.


You can't squirm out of this one. One of you was talking crap. You know it.

(4th time in a row with the joke, you're quite the fun guy aren't you - you could always meet me for a beer and decide if I am nice or intimidating)

how's this not a sell out ? Only on espn , so the tv audience will be small . Who's not going? Quarter final and carn't sell out should look good to our owners . And were all moaning about getting a bigger stadium !

they will all won't a ticket if we get to wembley though

I was thinking this, why are people complaining that we'll only get 30k tickets - more than enough for the Cup regulars.

can i come?

i dont work in the ticket office personaly, but my mate tells me thats how they do it.

yeah its quite reasonable to expect something along those lines to take place, given how he explained it to me. And no matter what argument anyone pits saying that its wrong, well he is employed in the ticket office and spends all day everyday doing this.

What you said happened to your dad is no different to when i asked for my own SC seat for Villa. I was told that because i missed the reserve date, they then played the leaving it late card. Then told me level one North stand only, once we got in i looked up found the entire block i sit in had about 30 people in it, and my seat and the 4 others who come with me where empty.

They are told to hit targets on what area to sell, more so since the fall out from Notts County.

Thanks mate. That's that one put to bed then.

Over to you swps back ;-)

All men should be big enough to say sorry and acknowledge they were wrong

And we go full circle to him being insistent don't we.

Plus I called up and managed to be offered Level 2.<br /><br />-- Mon Mar 07, 2011 7:34 pm --<br /><br />

Yeah - I think it's better when you have met up for a beer to be honest. Then people understand each other better.

For instance I took the piss out of Timmaahhhh on a thread the other day, but after we have to SToke away together etc, he took it in good humour and didn't get upset, and vice versa.

i still think it will sell out, i cant beleive we could end up playing this game with both top levels closed, over 30 odd years since we have sent a team off to wembley 'i know just the semi's' and fans dont come if this happens we really dont deserve the owners we have

 

[secondtoughest]

I'm not a ST holder. I'm getting texts about this match from the club. I only get texts when the tickets aren't selling well.

Despite this I still think we'll be close to a sell out.

Its not fair to start calling people just yet, i havent missed a home game in about 6 years. But as of this moment i havent got my ticket, will get it on Weds when i get paid. The other games have battered my account in the last couple of weeks

Lots who have bought tickets early in the rush havent been all season ( or on a rare occasion) as other in this thread have confirmed.

If their are none left by then i will just have to deal with it, its not the clubs fault. But its a bit annoying that i would lose out to someone who has decided to go now its important.

Didn't think you'd be man enough pmsl.

It's a while since I've had a veiled threat on bm but there were as yet undiscovered tribes in the amazon who knew it would be from you. So you can be intimidating on forums as well as real life eh?

Don't worry about the apology, it's worth it to see you fuck up again ;-)

Just to confirm the facts in black and white again, my dad called up as instructed to relocate after lunch today. He was only offered the front of the north stand.

My guess is you can't understand sniffs explanation above. No shame in that

Re: reading tickets selling fast

Look the only area where significant numbers of tickets remain is North Stand Level 2.

And we know this because this time all but Colin Bell L2 went up on the on-line planner so anyone who wanted to could log on and have a look at how the sales were going

There isn't a separate supply of tickets unless the new ground has been built in secret

No one is suggesting their is a secret supply is their.

I find it amazing that the concept of not releasing every ticket on the website at once is blowing your mind.

North stand did'nt go up straight away and people where saying their is only xxx ammount of tickets left, then as if by a miracle another whole new shiny stand was bulit (by your explanation) called the North stand.

I dont think their is any major rush and the website is historicaly wrong, anyone remember the threads every week where some one counted all the seats ???

the reason that stopped was because it changed on a daily basis.

and Didsbury Dave......... An apology for what ??

Look I know the on-line plan doesn't always cover the whole seating area, but this time every block in every stand bar West Level 2 has been on there so we know what's what. And fans have phoned the Ticket line and posted what they have been told so please just stop arguing.

 

[Soulboy]

Yeah everybody... please stop arguing.

;-))

 

[blueshortshorts]

to add my two penneth...I phoned up today to book my own North Stand Level one seat(forgot at the weekend), but they had sold out. Had to get seats in a different part of the North stand..that sounds to me like it's selling well.

If you look dickbrain at my reply to JMW - it was sincere, I was bored of your constant "intimidating" thing you have going on and would prefer to get along with you. Real life this may not be, but as I have stated more than enough times, I believe you to be a big blue and rather than argue all the time, a quick pint and a hello would, I am sure make life on here a lot easier. It is always easier to be pally after contact in the real world.

What was that you were saying about apologies?

As I said re your Dad, if he couldn't pluck up the courage to suggest level 2 and as such isn't going to the game, it's his look-out and you aren't up to much as a son for not sorting it for him. There is still time so you can still save the day.

Or he could just wait until L3 opens.

ps - Love the insult to my intelligence, classy and ever so true.<br /><br />-- Mon Mar 07, 2011 8:21 pm --<br /><br />

Only if he can find me a pikey for my wedding. Does he know any?

 

[WhoLetDeJongOut]

everyone bring an inflateable! Even third tier!

 

[carlosthejackal]

The simple fact is that this game should be a sell out, its piss poor that a quarter final at home in the F A Cup against lower league opposition is not sold out already. The tickets are cheap and its not as though we are bored of reaching the latter stages of cup competitions. What more do City fans want?

You are right.

But what we want is a proper ticketing system, where all seats are shown on the OS site. Buy that seat and it's gone. People then know exactly what seats are still for sale.

Instead we have a game of cat and mouse, with levels closed, only blocks showing and no seats, blocks not for sale until other blocks sell out, etc, etc. I could go on.

I don't know what City are up too, but it's not the first time this has happened. If City are trying to put fans off from attending this match, they are doing a damned good job of it.

Stop pissing about City and start selling tickets easily and properly.

 

[CITY FOR LIFE]

One upper NS block gone limited with 3 lower blocks gone completely now. Must be well past the 30k mark already.

Block 211 gone with 5 left in 212 that part of the ground could be real fun on Sunday if everyone brings what they say they are going to do.
Can't wait for this game its hopefully going to be a mad house with the Kippax taking the lead :))))))

Not everyone is in your or my position Carlos. We can be there but many can't, for many reasons. Still plenty of time left & I expect a close-to-a-sell-out. Keep the faith.
