Seat Counters - 2023/24

[Eccles Blue]

The OSC one will be voided as you probably know..

Plus the OSC will be in trouble as well.

Just spoken to the ticket office.. They claim 2 blocks worth of tickets (around 500) that have been returned from the FA will be made available at 1pm.

Thought we got closer to 2000 returns last year?

Plus the OSC will be in trouble as well.

From what I've seen, all that's happened is people have bought themselves and not waited for the reservation to be put on the system. Maybe they panicked with it being slow to allocate the actual tickets to buy but 200 out of maybe 6000 isn't really that bad.

One £45 and one £70 left, the rest are at least £115 and no better.

This is where the cup scheme can pay for itself.

I don't remember reading that the "supporters clubs got full allocations for people who haven’t even attended a game."

I did read that the supporters clubs got full allocation, but without the added bit.
If it happened then the OSC branch(es) involved should be named because a blanket supporters clubs got this and did that tars all the branches with the same brush and that is definitely not fair. I know for a fact that the branch I belong to has a strict procedure/rules about ticketing.

I understand the frustration people are feeling but it isn't fair to brand everyone the same.

For example I have enough points and am on the cup scheme and have attended most of the home cup matches and therefore could have applied on the first tranche but as I need to have another ticket for my 8 yr old great-grandson who obviously is too young to attend the night matches, does not have a season card and is not registered on the cup scheme I have to, quite rightly, according to the club's criteria, wait until 1.00 today to apply.
But I am not complaining, just explaining that it doesn't always work for everyone.
My main concern is all the OSC branches being blamed. :-)
JMHO

If he's not got a season card or on cup scheme, how is he getting a ticket at 1pm today, or have I missed something?

It’s not been limited to a percentage for the cup final though, and that’s my point as to why it’s an absolute disgrace, they got every ticket they applied for.

Interesting I assumed that the allocation split would be the same as if it were a PL game. If what people are saying is true that we will sell out today before criteria goes to SC holders not on cup scheme then it's another massive fuck up by the club. How many SC are on the cup scheme, 20k?

The supporters club get an allocation. It’s apparently up to them what they do with them. Never been in one so no idea about the ins and outs.

But they’re not taking tickets off ST holders. Their tickets were never in the pot.

May aswell rant about the players or the owner’s allocation going to people who’ve never been to a game before.

The club are probably pissing themselves, releasing less and less tickets to fans and seeing the anger about it mainly restricted to ordinary fans arguing amongst themselves about it.

 

[Norbiton]

Queue is open for 1.00. Good luck!

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I've got to buy one in the 1pm window so I'll do a quick check to see if any others are added.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Managed to get 2 together in safe standing an hour ago (after refreshing god knows how many times!).

Anyone been in that section before? What’s the view/atmosphere like?
