No it wasn't sorry, that would have shat on thousands of fans.Have advised the club
Not sure anything can be done now
Think 2 per season ticket was probably a good idea in hindsight
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.
I'd rather it go like this so I can get a better chance of sitting where I want. The allocation can always be increased at a later window.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
And all the people you're speaking about?We've still got all those accounts with under 50 points yet to have a chance for a ticket yet.
If anything all this shows is that when ST holders had the chance to buy 2 tickets they were taking a lot of daytrippers.
Don’t we have something like 19k season ticket holders?? They couldn’t have guaranteed every ST holder a ticket with an allocation of 34K. I get that not everyone would’ve bought 2 but they couldn't’ be sure.Have advised the club

100%The time windows between sales were a bit baffling.
perhaps they're saving their money so that they can watch the real Sky Blues,I was having a look at the Man City website and they have allocated one ticket per person in the respective loyalty brackets, however after a certain date everyone can buy an additional 3 tickets. Interestingly, they are at that stage now and still haven't sold all their tickets.
Adult STH 2 ticketsJust needs two ST windows advertised ahead of time. First window one per ST, then all those with points, then back to STs for two a ticket. Or just allow STs two from the wider window onwards. As long as people can plan which window to go for it’s not an issue.
It’s that or tier the ST holders, but we can’t give everyone two tickets or not all ST holders are guaranteed.
Pretty much this, the main issue is the window lengths which is something they did when hey brought the points system in.Whatever they do there is always going to be people moaning or saying it’s not fair, but I think they’ve gone about it fairly well.
The only thing they’ve definitely got wrong is the week-long windows, should have been a couple of days as others have said.

This is one of the reasons I don't get all the panic and we'll be a laughing stock type posts.

Lets face it, we've been to Wembley multiple times recently and this time round the chances of us winning our incredibly slim, the chances of us getting rolled over with a massive score are not exactly low either. Maybe that's just not an attractive prospect for the casual fan who has been to see us at Wembley several times in recent years when the game is on free to air TV

I think it's just impossible for the system to enforce that during the big rushes. If you consider that every seat gets "reserved" in the basket for 26 minutes, it would make a tonne of tickets unavailable for adding to basket that are actually unsold, if you try to enforce that in real time.Just had a quick look on the Ticketmaster website, why does it say you can't buy groups of seats if they leave a single seat on the row. There are loads of single seats dotted around the Upper Tier!

So I assume this logic works in many cases, but there will always be some weird connotations that end up in single seats being left unsold after each "rush".
I suppose if it gets to the point where there are 3 seats left together and you only want 2 it will let you buy them, then leaving the single.Just had a quick look on the Ticketmaster website, why does it say you can't buy groups of seats if they leave a single seat on the row.

Well, as so many commented after the Crewe home tie Checkatrade 'final' and then the real final of 2017 - 'This shows our potential'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
Totally agree a good ideaIt's weird that having an ifollow season ticket doesn't get you any points. It should count for some points.
I think that would be logical and sensible for a landmark game - I am an iFollow season ticket holder and have been since I left the country. That said, I think it has to be considered what revenue the club is making from you (EFL take a good chunk?) vs a fan who buys 5 tickets in a season.Once the 50+ points period has passed perhaps the club should also open up to i follow account holders based abroad, many of whom I should imagine would like to come back for the match, but unlikely to be otherwise able to source tickets directly themselves.
The 26 minutes is crazy. Presumably people either already have their payment method logged in to the account or their credit card to hand. It’s not like being in a checkout queue waiting whilst people search their purses and handbags for the smallest pieces of shrapnel to make up the exact purchase price.I think it's just impossible for the system to enforce that during the big rushes.

What's annoying for me is that I have to authorize the payment on my Lloyds banking app every time I order tickets. Not a big issue usually, but there have been times when I've not been able to get a signal.The 26 minutes is crazy.

I think if you look at the questions you see from pretty die hard supporters here, on twitter & on facebook whenever they have to buy a ticket online - people really struggle with technology you might consider to be really easy to use. So in some cases, 26 minutes might not feel like a lot of time!The 26 minutes is crazy.

The difficult bit is getting the tickets into the basket. The payment bit is standard and of course those with purchasing history will have used it before. I generally have sympathy with people who struggle with technology but the online checkout is easy.I think if you look at the questions you see from pretty die hard supporters here, on twitter & on facebook whenever they have to buy a ticket online - people really struggle with technology you might consider to be really easy to use.
