So do you need a purchase history this Thursday? Some seem to think you do.

They probably think you do because that’s what the club announced!

Selling them how they have gives us the best chance of creating an atmosphere.

They'll go one way or the other. It's no big deal. If they do increase the allowance to ST holders (no basing it on points). Most people will have access to 2, so family and friends want to come, they can sit together.

POTG at this rate.

Exactly. I’d rather 30k proper city fans making a noise and cheering the lads on non-stop than 20k proper city fans + 16k day trippers who couldn’t name 5 players and want to sit in silence all game like we had against Luton.

Yeah so people need to stop posting that all you need is an account then!

any booking fee?

 

[quinn1971]

Why the panic, every Cov fan who should get one will get one, 27,500 at the Leeds game, 8500 more tickets than that ? relax, it’s not like we haven’t been there before,

 

[Skybluecol]

I know of 2 !!

And I have 3 in my network patiently waiting for Thursday!
They always do POTG and usually do around 5 or 6 games a season. They've all said they'll be getting points from now on.....a lesson learnt for most I'd say

 

[SBbucks]

Why can’t people just read what the club publish, is that so difficult?

 

[jas365]

Need a purchase history. That's not just the handful of years that currently gives points though. Theoretically could have purchased a single ticket 6 years ago, so have 0 points.

This is correct, my dad passed away a couple of years ago but his account is still linked to mine. When i checked last week his account has no points and no history. I was going to buy an extra ticket this way but can't on this account.

 

[Evo1883]

They've definitely scuffed this whole sales process , fans can't take wives and kids etc because of strict 1 per person quota .. there's still 11000 tickets available

Nonsense that shouldn't be repeated

 

[Calista]

Yes I agree, I e mailed the club to see if they could create a new account for my wife and allocate the points she should be due for games attended. They said they couldn’t do that retrospectively…..

I'm Brian and so's my wife.

 

[Evo1883]

Btw , if we don't sell the tickets , somebody's head should be rolled

 

[mark82]

Would be able to on Thursday though.

My sister and her family live in the Cotswolds. They've been to 5 or 6 home games this season. I've always purchased the tickets for them close to my ST. They can't get Wembley tickets, and I can't get them for them. Same situation with my Son's friends. Two of them regularly come with us but again i always sort tickets so they don't have a way of getting Wembley tickets either.

I know its my fault for sorting the tickets but at the time i never imagined this situation. Judging by the fact we've only sold 25K tickets i reckon a lot of people in this situation of wanting to go but simply can't buy tickets.

This is spot on!
@Sky Blue Pete @Saddlebrains , do the club know this is the case!??
Can't see the 36k selling out if people just can't access the tickets even if they want them!!

Rubbish, if they had accounts for their wives and kids (and had previously assigned tickets to them) they would be able to take them. The whole process has worked perfectly well so far (and very fairly) for the vast majority of regular and even occasional supporters. And from Thursday anyone left without a ticket who has any purchase history at all will be able to get one.
I’m not sure why people feel such an entitlement to take day trippers, it’s not 2017 anymore.

Should we go to wembley with empty seats , we will be the laughing stock of english football, all to make a few fans who paid for a shirt in 2019 happy .. load of shite

How, if there is no purchase history?

Have advised the club
Not sure anything can be done now
Think 2 per season ticket was probably a good idea in hindsight

Yea but what about Johnny who paid for a car air freshener from the club shop in 2021

I’m not sure why/how shirts in 2019 are relevant?

Purchase history

 

[mark82]

I misread. Thought it was a no points but had bought using the account before. Not entirely sure why you'd create an account and not buy.

Also, if needed, could buy a ticket for one of the remaining games on it, then it would have purchase history.

Can buy anything from the club shop for purchase history

Surely they open up another window a couple of days after the next window on Thursday for season ticket holders to get another per ST? That way the final few thousand will go. I’ve got loads of mates who go occasionally but don’t have an account as either I get them for them or they POTG.

Not sure anything can be done is not really good enough. (Not having a go at you as I’m guessing this is what you’ve been told)

How can they have done 2 per ST holder given 34k allocation and 18.5k ST holders? If they had done that the complaint (rightly) would have been that non-ST holders couldn’t get tickets. They could have done 2 per ST holder with a certain number of points, but not a blanket 2 each.

They could have offered the 5000 premier league package holders 2 per ST ..

I'm not one btw

It's alright I also paid for a shirt in 2019

Do they mean that, or do they mean ticket purchase history? It’s unclear, but logically it would be ticket purchases.

No I’ve not been told anything and I thought the way it was done was great but it appears not

Maybe, but that’s very different to Pete’s suggestion of 2 per ST holder.
I am a PL package holder and don’t think it would have been right to do that, it would have produced just as many complaints.

 

[skybluegod]

I don't actually think the club got it too wrong despite the sales. ST holders should now get an extra priority window, but allowing them two at the start would have been unfair.

I think this is the correct approach

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Stuff the 50 points and just open it up to everyone who isn’t a ST holder , when they’ve gone that’s it .

Yeah, that’ll work, stick 10,000 tickets on the open market. Cracking idea
