Spare Ticket Exchange/Swap Thread

[23_Carra_Gold]

I've noticed that in the weeks leading up to a game there are multiple threads started requesting spares. For example, INTORRESTING started a thread looking for a Fulham ticket earlier today only to be bumped way down by two or three other threads requesting the same thing. These threads usually disapear due to little interest and another soon appears meaning that the person who asked first is usually done out of a ticket by somebody who started a thread after him. Obviously people sorting their mates out is sound but when another randomer gets there before you simply because he asked at the right time it is a little frustrating.

 

I think it'd be a good idea to pin this thread so people who are stuck can request tickets in here and we'll know the order in which people stand before we take or dish out any spares.

 

No?

good idea mate

[INTORRESTING]

i think it's a good idea considering how bad our ticket office is. I am also happy to get tickets for others if i get through as i dont see the point of getting 1 or 2 when i could get 4 and sort some fellow reds out. The touts getting them and flogging them makes me sick.

Like the sound of that, I also have no qualms about buying an extra ticket for a decent red on the odd occasion I get through.

 

Also , this myth that if you're not a local number you get through quicker is utter bullshit. If it were true my desk wouldn't be full of little notes , the contents of which, I wouldn't wish to repeat with minors around.

Right well seen as it seems people agree its a good idea I'll stick meself in for 2 Blackburn tickets. And I know INTORRESTING wants a Fulham ticket.

Aye life would be made alot easier.

[Hooch]

Good idea fella.

 

I lost out on a Man U ticket on here for those reasons.

[kopsawyer]

Good idea.Really need 1 fulham ticket.

[Tossed and blown]

Obviously a good idea but really needs to be a separate board / forum.

Also if you're sorted out for a ticket a site donation should be mandatory.

Well lets see if it gets off the ground first. No point dedicating a forum to it when it doesn't work.

 

And making a site donation mandatory sort of rules out people without credit cards and I think it is sort of shit to make money from tickets. Not that I'm being a stingy prick either.

[Lofts]

This is an excellent idea, i've lost out on tickets for the reasons discussed

SHIIIT IDEA!

Drinking again Cain?

[INTORRESTING]

If we had 3 or 4 of us trying and everyone did genuinely try then i reckon we could all get sorted.

 

I have started waiting until the adult and child run out and then try as i have never got through on the phones before that. Most people seem to want to sit together but i couldn't care less about that as when it goes to singles one minute you are 60 in the queue then it drops quite a lot each time the announcement is made. I suppose a problem is the phone bills? I am sure that will even out though

 

I used to get online all the time but this 30 mins thing seems to have cocked that up as cannot get on the system.

it way off yet, and I may well get it sorted myself, but just incase - I'll need 2 for Spurs at home.

 

I can swap them for one season ticket for the day on the Kop.

 

So basically, if anyone is planning on getting one for spurs, get two instead, and you can have mine on the Kop.

 

Simples!

[moxter]

Shrewd bit of business there Tom, swapping one ticket for two.

[The 5th Benitel]

I know it's a different issue (i'd be up for getting extra and putting them on here btw) but do people think if we're still challenging for title on the last day you'll have to have previous games on your fancard to get tickets?

 

It's be a double edged sword for me cos i get my Dad's tickets on mine and he wouldn't be able to go but if i didn't get one having gone every game cos people wanted to just go the glory games i'd be fuming.

Oh yeah, I'll obviously pay for the second ticket!!

re: Spurs game - i'm going in the away end with my mate who is a Spurs fan - he's coming up to watch the game - as i couldn't gaurantee getting him/us a ticket to sit with the reds

[AL66GOLF]

Great idea.

The touts were looking for up to £120 + a ticket on sunday

That would be the hardest game to get tickets for if we are still in with a shout of the league title.

that is crazy! plenty turn up with a load of tickets and realise they cant flog them and end up giving them to touts for 10-20 quid aswell. One guy at 10 for the fulham game early on in the season.
