I’m trying to make our lives easier as I’m sure away games, this season, will all be sold out in my opinion. I also believe the home games will be the same, some well over subscribed. So I’m going to start a group chat, on private messages, for people wanting to help others if there are games they can’t make. I’d ask everyone to be sure to stick to their word even if they find they can no longer take the ticket. I’ll make my transfer details available for anyone who needs them. I’ll also have to charge booking fees and postage which I've not done in the past. Enough decent people have bought me a pint, to cover it, but there’s only so much I can drink If anyone wants adding to the chat for away tickets just stick it on. As you know there are often a few spares and people who live close to Bournemouth, or wherever, might benefit from any ‘last minute’ tickets. This’ll either work, or it won’t, and I've not really thought it through as I’m a bit busy with work. The idea is that people won’t be wasting SCs, when unavailable, and others may get their chance for games they’d otherwise miss. We have a good set of reliable people on here and I don’t think it would work on RTG for example, too many weirdos hiding amongst the decent people tbh. Sorry to elect myself but the judge’s decision will be final, if people deliberately mess anyone about they’ll be excluded in future. I bet this looks pompous but that’s too bad, if people don’t like the idea they can just ignore it. Please don’t discuss anything ‘financial’ on the forum. So let’s see how it goes and what people think.
Great idea. I’ll be trying to source away tickets cos I haven’t the points to get into the in demand ones, only went Blackburn last season.
I think it's a great idea @Smug in Boots ,but I think you're letting yourself in for quite a bit of work and potential hassle,which I would worry might curtail your own enjoyment of our season. I don't know you personally,but I know your heart is in the right place with this, please think long and hard about how you could make it work without impacting on you. I don't have to tell you that the offer and demand traffic is going to be massive,match by match,often up until the last minute. You know what this club is like!!
Good idea However I have a host of family and friends in a list to have my ticket when I’m away I can get tickets from my supporters club for away matches which you are correct and they can be difficult to get Never the less I get my share if not all that I want Nevertheless I hope this suggestion you have made works well for the rest of you
Cheers mate, you're quite right that I need to make the most of games I’ve get to. Thing is I’m already on dozens of people’s phones so I have a busy time quite often. I’m only inviting people I know, on here, some of whom I only know from the forum tbf, they're clearly decent posters. I’m hoping some people will just pass on tickets to people they choose from those asking … … hopefully I won’t have to be involved unless someone is asking for a bit of guidance. Thanks for the heads up though, very thoughtful mate.
Hi Smug Exciting times for all of us, which will also mean tickets, both home and away will be like hens teeth! Please count me in when you set up your idea, I hope it works and doesn’t cause you too much stress!
Hi Faraway, it's simple enough mate. For someone like you, in the far South West, you'll need any spare SCs if you can't get tickets for an SOL game. Anyone who trusts and knows you, can pass on their unused SC at face value and know they'll be paid. If anyone doesn't know you they can ask me if you're 'known'. As you travel from Cornwall for games, and are retired, people will know their SC isn't going to anyone risky or an away fan chancing his arm. As there's no profit motive it's just to help decent people get tickets if the 'seller' doesn't have anyone they could pass it onto. I'll put you on the list mate.
Yes, thankfully we've dropped lucky with Burnley and Forest, neither too bad for away travellers. Palace, on a Friday night, would be difficult.
There’s one away match me and the missus really fancy but we’ve not got the points for and it’s Everton for Bradley Lowry.
This is primarily for home games when people can't use their SCs and are happy to pass them on ... ... but someone with enough points, who isn't travelling, might help you. I'll be looking at going to Everton but my work sometimes means I have to cancel at short notice
I'm planning on going to every home game, but if something unexpected happens, I'd be happy to pass the tickets onto anyone decent who can use them.
