4,000 Villa tickets sold so far

[Easy 10]

The best way to administer ticketing is give STH a 1-day priority booking period (phone, internet or in-person) then ALL the rest go on general sale. First come first served. No need to charge people for the 'right' to buy a ticket (which they might not even get).

mmm...not sure ONE day for STH's to snort their tickets is entirely workable.
Processing 4,000-odd apps in the space of a day seems a tad ambitious, given our current setup.

Are you serious?? The obvious answer is DON'T. Apply for (and get) your ticket and let your mates fend for themselves. Trying to give you one ticket, and hold onto another for someone who may or may not ultimately get a ticket would be a logistical nightmare when x1000 or however many people would try to do it. The way the club have done it is the ONLY possible way to have a decent priority system.

Not always that simple. What if the other white members are family or youth members who still have to wait until Weds? You still have to wait until white members can apply to do the group booking.

Are you going to have a go at the Holte End, Easy? Pwopper Nawty yanno!

No. I shall just stand in awe of it.

only applied for White membershi today for me and 3 others, going to be a bit gutted if we miss out, bearing in mind have already now paid out £32.50 each for train fares and the membership cost!

Will travel up there regardless I think

And that's the problem (as usual). It always seems to come as a surprise to the club that people want to actually buy tickets, especially for 'high-profile' games. Why? It's not as if they're 'one-off', or that a set-up to cope with that type of demand/issues won't work on a day-to-day basis.

I'm not so sure we would have sold out if the tickets weren't so dirt cheap. I think I paid £36 for Spurs a few years ago - not convinced we'd sell 6k at Villa if they were asking those kind of prices, or even £25/£30.

£10 though, its a no-brainer.

Very true.

At a tenner a pop, and coaches at £20 (if that's yourpreferred mode of transport) then itr eally is a VERY cheap day out.

[Gazwag]

You are probably right. God there is going to be some moaning on here this week!

Beach Hut not got his tickets yet then

 

[Baby Potts]

Anyone know if I can instantly upgrade from white to blue?

What was the difference in price and what exactly (apart from a GTD Villa Tic) to you get?

Yes you do, but as I say, that's the point of the priority system. Do you have a better suggestion? There is absolutely no way in hell, when we could probably sell 8-10k tickets, that you can expect to be able to reserve some tickets just in case the white members you know are lucky enough to get tickets when they are released. You have to accept, having one gold membership only, that ONLY that one person is entitled to get early tickets. The obvious solution is buy Blue membership if you all want first dibs on tickets. You pay your money and you get preferential treatment.

Guarantee a ticket to anyone who buys a five year season ticket for Falmer......

Advice please?

We all have registered online accounts and I can purchase tickets for myself. I've added everybody to my friends and family list, but in the checkout box it doesn't allow to select the other gold members from the drop down list. Just MY name. ?

You need to get your friends/family to log in themselves and then add you.

You can only buy for those who have added you. Its a security measure, otherwsie you could add anyone and then use their ticket!

This also got me 1st time.

Put my Gold application (6 tickets) through the door on Saturday.
I've got some white member mates as well, but they're sorting out their own application. No WAY was I hanging back on my Gold to go in with the white stampede on Wednesday. Whats the point of risking it ? We can still travel together and drink together. No big deal just splitting up for the game.

I fear I should've done likewise...
