I must admit that I totally sympathise with everyone that might miss out on this game due to taking the words of the ticket office staff in good faith.
That's the problem though - if you get hold of the wrong person at the other end of the line, you end up being given the wrong information. I almost ended up missing out on a ticket for this game for that very reason. Although I've got well over 5000 points I was after 2 tickets together so had to take a calculated risk in waiting until it came down to my mate's points bracket last Friday morning. I phoned the ticket line at about 8.20AM and was told they were waiting for a further batch winging their way over from the ticket office and that it should be with them just after 9, and to ring back then. I assumed that this was the further allocation from Arsenal but it now appears that it was just part of the original 2000 and that the ticket line must've ran out of their allocation. Anyway, I phoned back just after 9 and the bloke I got hold of said that it looked like they didn't have any left. I asked him if he was sure because I'd phoned earlier and been told to phone back as they were waiting on a further batch arriving from the club. He went away and checked with his manager who told him that's exactly what was happening and that they should have them within 20 minutes - obviously he hadn't been briefed that they were getting a further batch from the ticket office. I phoned back about 9.30 and got 2 tickets, but if I'd believed what this bloke had told me without being armed with the knowledge of the first phone call I'd made, I'd have assumed that it was a sell-out.

they are so full of shit. I did exactly the same as you on Friday at 8 a.m but when i phoned at 9 got told to phone again in an hour and so on and so on....In the end I went to the ground and got one, no problem, over the counter.
why are they so fucking clueless and inconsistent with their info?

New approach by the club. After a lot of complaints about the poor atmosphere at away games, they are being more selective about who they sell tickets to. As someone who sits there, never sings and only opens his mouth to moan, slag someone off or shout at someone to shut up and sit down, you're off the list.Biggsy1 said:

Just found out the wife's cousin has got a couple of tickets via a supporters club on a TWO year old season ticket , I think Portsmouth have got more points than he has on his season ticket ?<br /><br />-- Tue Mar 16, 2010 3:45 pm --<br /><br />
To be honest this is the first time this has happend to me , but the ticket office always shafts me somehow every year . Why cant they all sing off the same hymn sheet , it cant be that hard !
