What a load of ****!! Sold out in a day They should have thought of this and done a ballot for this game. firstly it is brighton, we sold out last year, secondly in the holidays so people are more likely to go. Thirdly, brighton are not going to give us many more as they are g....wait no stupid. (was going to write something else, thought twice). THAT TICKET OFFICE COULD NOT ORGANISE A PISS UP IN A BREWERY. you might be thinking, why is he getting so work up about it. I have a have been to every away game (bar 2) this season so far, also have a season ticket. I know that for a fact there will be some fans going whose first away game it will be. finally: i applied for tickets in the second batch for the p*rtm**th game and have not heard yet. they are so **** in that ticket office, fire all of them!!!!! NOW!!!
Went to the ticket office to get tickets for the Bristol City game on the 30th and the guy in there serving me was the most miserable person ever. He spoke so quietly i had to guess what he was saying most of the time. Luckily he gave me the seat around where i asked for.
someone on another forum said he went to the ticket office on wednesday and they said they would go on sale early next week. he only got a ticket cause his mate texted him.
You should have picked up your phone mate. Games like this one always go quickly. As you're on here quite a lot, I'd have thought you'd know that they were on sale today.
If you've only missed 2 away games why did you wait for the 2nd ballot for Pompey game??? Lucky to get two bites of the cherry. Brighton game....always thought they would surprise that one us, announce it one day, buy them the next. Luckily had a mate who was free to get down there this morning and get ours. Got Pompey tickets on first ballot.
wasn't sure if i was going to go to the pompey game. this is besides the point they should shave done a ballot for the brighton game!!
Unfortunately buddy didn't think they would do a ballot for this game while they're still sorting out Pompey. Always going to be the same as Bristol game, announce it and buy them with short notice. Do understand why your disappointed though.
Evolution of saints......do know someone who has had money debited from their account today but not received email yet for Pompey game and they were in 1st ballot, so you might still have a chance of a ticket.
I had money taken out of my account 2 days ago and still don't have an email. I better ring them up tomorrow and see what's happening.
They have said that they are going to email people tomorrow. I am disappointed as this is by far a bigger game than bristol city (and wasn't that a load of ****). This was obviously going to sell out. The problem is that they hardly gave any notice, suppose someone doesn't have access to the internet? you can expect them to ring up every day. clubs like leeds have a ballot system for all away games. this sounds like a much better idea. they have worked before, only the p*rtsmouth game has failed really.
Whilst I do agree that 24 hours notice was quite short, clearly enough people knew about them going on sale if all 2,000+ of them were sold within a matter of hours.
yes but my other point is that half of those have probs not been to an away game this season!!! this was one of the games that i was most looking forward to (especially after being there last year in our epic win!) since i have been to all but 2 away games i feel that i should have been first to have a ticket over someone who has been to none or 1
I dont agree if you have the time/money to go to all away games good for you, but some people don't and games like these are a great oppurtunity to go to away games. There hardly fair weather fans if they have a season ticket and if you ballot every game like this alot of people would never have the chance to go to away games.
Maybe for people like evolution of saints who are fortunate enough to be able to go to most away games, the club might consider doing an away season ticket? This would give holders priority in the allocation before going on sale to the home ST holders. You could always let someone else have use of it for those games you can't get to. Just an idea!
That was my reaction too. It just seemed to be a case of someone being disappointed and looking for someone else to blame, when it was their own fault.
