Any White Members had Bristol Rovers ticket indication yet?

[We're the Stripes]

Applied via email for BR tickets early last week (yes, via the correct address of away.tickets@bhafc.co.uk) after having rung ticket office and been told I 'should be OK' for getting tickets, and that White Member applications would be dealt with in order received.

Have any of you White Members had tickets yet? Seems some Blue/Gold haven't.

It's leaving it very tight for getting travel sorted out - especially as we have coach tickets waiting on news as to whether we have match tickets or not. We're not interested in going in the Rovers sections, in case anyone suggests that, BTW.

My mate spoke to the ticket office yesterday and they indicated we have only sold about half the tickets!

You might want to call the ticket office as a mate of mine tried to use that e-mail address and was told that there have been problems with it.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Rang the club on Monday. Was told to send away for tickets as unlikely to be sold out.
Three Tickets arrived this morning

 

[We're the Stripes]

Ours have just arrived.

Thanks for the response.

So, does this mean that they will return unsold tickets to Rovers, thus allowing for some pay on the day fans...if so, I might be able to swap my ticket for the home terrace to the away one!

Bullshit from the club in an attempt to make the Blue members feel better about the fact that they've splashed out £30 and got bugger all in return.

Do i not have a valid point?

 

[Springal]

Most Blue members would of got them with half season tickets I suspect, not paying for the pleasure of it!

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Blue members may have a valid point/cause for complaint if they haven't got what they originally paid for.
1) Have they or haven't they?
2) Are you a blue member? If not then why are you wittering on?

I'm not a blue member - whatever my NSC persona might suggest, i'm no mug!

They have got what they paid for - but how else can you explain the fact that the club have sent out a false message? Lots of people have bought tickets in the home end as a result of the club lying - we were told on Saturday there was NO chance of white members getting tickets as gold/blue applications still being handed in were going to ballot.

The club felt the need to put out a message suggesting tickets were going to sell out and that members were getting priority. What's all that about?

Sorry, i forgot i'm not allowed to moan about things that are wrong but don't directly effect me. Burgess Hill football club folding? I don't play for them or watch them. Sod them.

Application in at the weekend. 3 tickets arrived in Bristol this morning. Well chuffed after thinking we had no chance and were going to end up in with the farmers.

Hang on:
1) So the club has sold tickets as per the membership priority listing with gold and blue members having initial dibs - surely neither you (nor the persona) have any quibble with this?
2) Tickets were due to become available to white members from sometime(?) this week in chronological order of application receipt.
3) Club posts on the website last Thursday that there may not be any tickets for white members due to the current demand (at that time); similar advice from Insider appears on Ask the Club?
4) Tickets don't sell out after all so they're allocated to white members who start to receive them today - good news I thought when the postman arrived this morning.
5) But oh no; it's a conspiracy - incorrect information, bullshit, all done to placate blue members, what BALLOT, Murray's crap, misleading, DK's a control freak, club is lying (= deliberately trying to mislead), fans have even bought tickets in the home enclosure - wow!!!!

FFS you're behaving like a paediatric Big Gully - have you really, really got nothing better to do than to look for fault in everything?

PS: I have signed the Burgess Hill FC petition (used to live there) and hope the club takes up on the 'get out' in the district councillor's email that was posted on here last week. They need to pay up, build some bridges and settle with MSDC - GC may also need to take his ego elsewhere.

You've COMPLETELY missed the point.

The ticket office staff CLAIMED as of SATURDAY that the game was oversubscribed, despite the fact that they've only (as of TUESDAY) sold half the tickets! It was apparently 'FACT' that the game was going to ballot.

That's not right.

They're on general sale now apparently.
