    Not much in it, they have not cleared up much, we have to contact box office and they will be happy to talk us through our options ! ( if our juniors cant attend ) as we already knew, apparently in the lead up to the stoke game they received several complaints, adults getting in on junior tickets, bad language, and of cause adults not attending with thier/a child !

    You can sell them here mate .... http://www.viagogo.co.uk/qpr/Sports...r-League/Queens-Park-Rangers-Tickets/E-670812

    How is it that the club deems it ok to persecute it's own and very loyal fanbase but condones the selling of tickets on the above site? The sale of tickets for the game v Liverpool are selling on Viagogo for between £90 and £350!!!! Even these extortionate prices increase to £103.50 and £402.50 once you add in the handling fee. They want to refuse us entry for failing to show up with our Little 'uns but are happy for someone to pay well over the odds and who may not even be a Rangers fan in the home end. There is a ticket up for sale on the site for a single adult in the Lower Loft for £90. How the heck does that work?

    If the club continue with this ridiculous policy it can go feck itself! It can have three empty seats for any future games which my kids can't make. There's no way I'm letting QPR re-sell them.

    It beggars belief nines. The letter says nothing other than that's the policy. The meeting will be interesting, maybe it'll be my last visit to Loftus Road!!!

    Perhaps thats the plan. Piss off all the mugs who have bought season tickets, refuse to refund them, sell the tickets again, bingo, we have in effect a 36,000 capacity and double or more the revenue.

    Sympathies to all affected by this, they just seem determined to piss us off in every way imaginable. Make your views extremely forcibly known. What about flooding Fernandes' and the clubs Twatter accounts?

    I can't believe it's come to this after 51 years to be honest. Some family club!!!

    Maybe that's the plan. Having supported the club for 51 years, I'm reaching the end of my usefulness and they're trying to get rid of me!!!!!!

    The Fernandes approach, in his own words:

    On his unorthodox business model:

    "Employees come number one, customers come number two. If you have a happy workforce they'll look after your customers anyway" - BBC

    Not working, on or off the pitch, is it? Or perhaps he hasn't explained it clearly enough yet.

    This is such a ****ing disgrace.

    The club are screwing their own fans over and over.
    My lad (a junior season ticket holder) can't even buy an extra ticket this year unless it's for another junior. We got him the upgrade precisely so that he could get extra adult tickets for friends and family. They didn't tell us of this change (he could do it last season) and so we spent extra money on the upgrade when it would be useless to us!!

    I really wonder what is going on at our club!

    It feels like we've (the fans) become insignificant in the bigger scheme of all things QPR. The muppets running the show make the rules up as they go, and we suffer the consequences.
    Bring back the times when you could turn up, pay at the gate, and watch your team.

    I'm tempted to ask to move my seats to avoid all the hassle, then the club will happy as they will have kept up their policy of kicking Loyal Supporters out of their seats they have held for years.<steam>

    For me, I don't want to move. Where I sit is probably the only place in the stadiums "normal" seating (ie not high cost prawn sandwich seating) where the entire row is only 4 seats wide (and we have all 4), therefore I don't have to keep getting up and down for others, wanting to pass. Just a small, but significant thing for me. Apart that is, why should I have to move? I've paid for these seats.

    I sincerely hope Sussex that you reach a favourable solution, where we sit we are forever getting up and down to let people pass.

    Cheers Dens, its the small things that all combine to make going enjoyable. And lets face it, we've not had too much on the pitch to add to that list this season have we?

    Stopped doing ST a few years back as I used Z6 now to watch most matches &#8230; I can stand, I have brilliant leg room if required. I sometimes do a spot of Yoga with my Chelsea steward at half time. I get to wind up the away fans (not so much recently). I get to shout directly into Barton's ear in fact have a good rapport with him now on his corners &#8230; I always shout "Arm up... hit and hope" and he laughs &#8230; All this for £40 it's more a pay and go system for me now. On the big matches I try and get in with my away mates; Liverpool and Arsenal last time and they love the ground.

    I cannot express how good the three single seats are in Z6 apart from the fact you can't see anything at the other end. I loved going with Flyer in the loft but having to keep getting up does my nut in

    QPR you will have noticed instantly started pretending to be a Prem club by pushing up the price without adding any other value to the customer. It was a bad idea

    In the letter I received it states..............

    '' We'd like to remind supporters that if a junior or U8 in their group is unable to attend a fixture, they should contact Box Office Customer Services by emailing [email protected] or calling 020 8740 2613 and they will be happy to talk you through the different options available to you. ''

    What options are these then?

    On the Official QPR site it has this message re. the Liverpool game.....

    '' Tickets for QPR's match against Liverpool are now SOLD OUT ...

    Barclays Premier League
    QPR v Liverpool - Category A
    Sunday, 19th October 2014 - Kick-Off 1:30pm

    The QPR Box Office would like to advise supporters that tickets to this fixture are now SOLD OUT.

    Please do not travel to Loftus Road Stadium without a valid match ticket as there will be no sales on the day.

    Read more at http://www.qpr.co.uk/news/article/061014-qpr-v-liverpool-sold-out-2000786.aspx#JEADtk3Ls0ULf5cD.99 ''


    So if my daughters fall ill on the day of the game ( or they simply refuse to go because we're so bloody boring to watch. ) where else can I sit?

    One of the less than helpful, and rude, staff at the box office told us that even in a sell out they "have the ability to relocate you to another seat".

    1. How is it a sell out then.
    2. I bet if there are any available seats these are restricted views.
