Don't think they've got it right. Guy at work been to most home games and all the Cup games but because I got him a ticket for the Semi with my pass he misses out
Unfortunately for you mate, I think they've got it spot on. Pass holders should have priority over somebody who has been to "most home games".
That was always going to be the case, it was announced before tickets for the semis went on sale. No system is ever going to keep everyone happy but this way they do have a small chance of keeping the majority happy, prioritising those that go the most, and they're including "family" sections which is another good bit of news. I'm sorry for your mate, but, this shouldn't have been unexpected.
I think there will always be unique circumstances of people who can't for whatever reason apply to this but they can't please everyone. Well done City

Oh ****! As I'm buying this under a West Stand Season Ticket holder pass who went to the Semi, I can only book it by phone on 24th. I'm bloody well moving house that day! Please please don't let it require hours of phone queuing as I will not have the time. Is there any reason why they don't allow these to booked online and save fans, (and no doubt staff) a load of hassle?
the only change I would make is that phase 3 should be for people who went to the semi and are on the database for at least 2 other games.
I doubt the online booking system could handle the criteria set out for the final tickets. E.g. only allow certain people purchase tickets at certain times.
I'd have made it people who bought tickets for the semi final, Brighton or Southend(though I suspect those at Brighton and Southend were already at the semi).
Do I travel to Hull on the 1st of may to que for a ticket or do I risk leaving it until the day after to phone for tickets. I was hoping they would set aside a percentage for out of towners like they did for the semi's.
Having to buy your ticket in person/on the phone allows the club to ask where you want to sit/stand. If they have listened to all of us then the seats towards the front will be sitting and all those that want to sing and stand will be towards the back and together. If this is the case we may all end up reasonably happy with the arrangements.
This should remove most of the issues around standing/sitting, singing/not singing, etc. Hopefully no more issues with people getting punched in the back of the head as a result. Though having to turn up in person or hang on the phone is a minor ballache.
