Play off tickets now available.. are the club jumping the gun?

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Club say they're inviting season ticket holders to apply for play off seats. A bit hasty if you ask me seeing we're not even in the play-offs yet. Why hasn't the club waited?

 

[Mr C]

Nope, I view it as being organised. They have sorted out the ticketing for both the home and away legs. Seems to be "first-come-first-served", and not a complete lottery.

Good stuff in my opinion

 

[Northstander]

Does this mean then, non season ticket holders are non-go'ers??

 

[Rougvie]

Yes, I agree with Mr C, we will all be on here moaning like ***** if its not organised properly.

Our ticket office actually does this sort of thing well IMHO.

 

[Jason Speaks]

The home tie is well organised because they are only accepting application from season ticket holders so they know there won't be excess applicants.

They away leg though does seem a complete lottery because they are accepting applications from anyone in the AMS. Therefore they are potentially going to have 12,000 applications to be drawn by ballot as there will be no way to filter them once they have been received.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Let's just hope the team don't muck it up otherwise the club will look like complete idiots.

Having read what it says on the official website it reads as though they want to receive the applications in advance so they can start processing them at the earliest available opportunity - ie. as soon as the dates and opposition are confirmed, much better than inviting applications afterwards, and they did say they only wanted applications from people who knew they could make any date.

 

[Brovion]

Yeah I agree, all they're doing is getting themselves organised and RoyalAli says we've REALLY got to screw it up to miss out now.

If they start trying to sell T-Shirts emblazoned with "2004 Division 2 Play-off Winners" then we can accuse them of jumping the gun.

I'm just a bit worried that this could be our "Please keep off the pitch so that Sam and the lads can do a lap of honour"

 

[sully]

The prices seem to have gone up for the home leg, too.

Or have they been £22 for south stand centre all season?

Overall, I think it's a good idea to get applications in early, but when we have no idea which one of 5 days the games might be played on, it's a bit of a nonsense at the moment.

I can't apply yet, a one of the days is my son's birthday party and I might have my legs cut off if I take him to a game instead!

They are being processed in order of receipt.

And, of course, they can get the money out of our accounts and into their's as quickly as possible for lots of lovely interest.

They can't take the money until the arrangements have been confirmed.

They've said they'll shred them if we don't make it, so if that happens, no money will change hands at all.

Don't forget guys that you need to give them your SEASON TICKET Number when you apply for play-off tickets (which is different from your seat number).

The only record you may have of this may well be handed over with your last home ticket ie Notts County a week Saturday.

 

[Beach Hut]

A positive move by the club - I was expecting total chaos if we got to the play-offs.

 

[London Irish]

At the home leg, do you get given your usual ST seat or do you end up anywhere?
