Beth and Jeff I sympathise with you both. I was hoping to combine a visit to my sister with the Bournemouth game, but was unable to get a ticket. I do not have enough loyalty points and had to wait until last Friday to try and get a ticket online. Logged in before 7.30am and found that they were all sold. I even tried Bournemouth direct but you have to have a history of buying tickets.
My mate usually gets away tickets for me, but on this occasion his wanted to go and there was just one ticket per person. I don't know how the loyalty points are worked out. Certainly not by how many years one has been a season ticket holder; for me well over 45 years.
Oh well, I'll just have to help my sister with her garden.
