Spurs shambles

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

Ok, I am not bitching about not getting a ticket fair and square, but we sent our applications off (3 tickets) from Bognor on the 7th (First Class)

Just got the letter stating 'unlucky mate'....

We have sold 5500 tickets in just 2 days....

But the problem is they didn't announce ticket details until the Tuesday (Wednesday Poss.), so this sets a feckin precident, that applications for tickets will go in 30 seconds after a draw for a 'Big' team or a high profile game is announced as all ticket. This makes the mass scramble even worse.

I don't know how to solve this one, but I am gutted as it is the first match I have failed to get tickets for since the last game at the Goldstone......

p.s. anybody got any tickets to sell

Yes.
Yes you are.

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

No , Easy 10 I said fair and square (this was not fair and square) as I said, we wait for ticket details to be announced by the club then apply as soon as. Trouble was it was all over here on Tuesday they were accepting tickets from whenever, so those of us that were (stupidly, ok) waiting for ticket details to be announced got shafted.

Is that any FECKIN clearer (sorry pissed off as you might expect)

Count yourself lucky then. I missed out on Reading away (Championship winning season) and Swindon away in the play-offs.

My reaction to both was, 'Oh well, never mind. Always another match I can go to.'

Still sounds like bitching to me...

Understandable in the circumstances, but you cannot deny you are having a right old MOAN UP

I do think any applications received before they announced they are taking them should be sent back telling them to wait.

 

[caz99]

so why have you got that letter but then the club saying they are still processing applications? have they just taken a pile of envelopes and sent letters out on the rest?

 

[Wardy]

I sent mine on the Tuesday night that it was anounched and got them. I think it was a case that everyone did the same. This meant that on the Wednesday and Thursday there was a lot of applications. This meant that it was almost a lottery since too many peoples applications were in on the same day.

Yeah, and you started a new thread, like your situation is more important than everyone elses or something.

Spare a thought for me. I GOT 2 Spurs tickets but I've LOST them.

Update: found 'em!

Read the comment, yes TO ME this is more important than whether anybody else gets ticket (selfish I am sure , but fact)

Yes I am having a rant, but accept some have to miss out and I was one of those.....

The POINT of the thread was that they accepted ticket applications before they announced ticket details....

If Parlarse (when) get relegated and we stay up, they day it is confirmed, I am applying for home and away tickets.....

You never learn, do you. Apply NOW.

I've just dropped off 500 applications at the ticket office, covering every possible cup game and juicy away tie for the next decade. That way I don't end up being one of those mugs who waits for the announcement from the club before applying, like I was this time.

2013 FA Cup final? I'm now front of queue mate. Bring it on.

I don't.

 

[clippedgull]

Took my application in last Friday and got 10*£37 tickets virtually by return of post.

Looks like the early birds are still at the bottom of the pile
