Miffed!

[getpurple]

Hey all,

Just bought a couple of tickets from the ticket line for the West Ham game. I wanted three, and fortunately the chap found three. However I was only allowed to buy two as the third did not have a purchase history..!

My brother has just returned from working abroad for years, so has not been able to buy tickets in the past. Asking the call taker if the single seat would be sold to someone else, he replied 'probably not'. So this seat will 'probably' be empty for the West Ham game, when a perfectly decent person with no purchase history could be injecting further cash into the club.

Anywho, can anyone help me out on this? I really want to get that third ticket so we can go as a family, but the red tape is blocking me!

Cheers

This has been happening for a few seasons now. Hindsight is a fine thing, but the best bet would have been to get him on the database long before he first needed a ticket. I am sure that you could email with your quandary and see if they can help out.

Wrong guess. Always been a Brighton fan.

He's been on the database for a quite a while, and I've emailed the ticket office to see if they can help. Just frustrates me that they would rather leave a seat empty than have someone willing to pay.

What, the red tape that is protecting the club and its supporters from away fans getting home tickets in a high profile match - no issue as far as I can see

This bit is somewhat hard to believe.

Basically you had two choices - buy your two 'purchase history' tickets there and then, or hang back for them to go on general sale to all those with no purchase history, and take your chances.

You say you're a bit miffed, but imagine someone else who has purchase history losing out on that seat to your brother who has NO purchase history. Hows that fair ?
