A21 club tickets for Cardiff

[Seagull Stew]

Does anyone know what block(s) A21 members have been allocated?
Don't really want to phone Stuart Adams with trivial questions like this as I expect he is a little busy at the moment.

WTF - Allocation my arse, queue up like everyone else has you lazy "$%&!$%£

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Queue up like everyone else has!! And I wouldnt come on here asking questions like this if you dont want to REALLY piss off your fellow fans.

 

[Seagull Stew]

OMG you ignorant f***s!
The A21 has a special agreement with the club concerning reservation of tickets and has done for years. I was just asking if anyone knew where in the stadium these tickets were allocated!

Actually we are not ignorant f***s!.

That was the whole point why should the A21 club have preference over any other fans

qoute from a a21 spokesperson "WHAT'S A QUEUE?"

The A21 club does not have preference over any other fans.
It would have been just as easy for you to get a ticket from them as it would have been for me.
The only difference being that living in Shoreham you probably would not have wanted to catch the coach from Hastings, Bexhill or Eastbourne.
It is simply another outlet for the club to sell a small amount of tickets to Albion supporters who live in the East of the county.

 

[mitch]

so you don't still get a allocation of away tickets?

Of course it does - why are you ringing someone to check where your ticket is then ?

Or did you queue ?

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Supporters groups get priority in virtually every other club and sport. If you don't want to be a member then, fine, you don't get priority. Evert tried getting an England away ticket when your not in their scheme? Tried getting an Albion away ticket when you are not in the AMS?

I don't see the difference between them getting tickets reserved and 1 member queuing up for 52 tickets. Or 52 people queuing up for 52 tickets. It helped keep the queues down.

Why should I want to join a supporters club - the message seems to be I must to get better ticket allocations.

I travel by train to away games with my son because of a resonably pleasant Tory legacy that my previous employer was the bastard Railway Company everyone hated and needed privatising.

You don't have to go with them on away trips to join the supporters club. I'm not a member and haven't been for 15 years or so. It doesn't bother me too much that they get their tickets reserved

That is f***ing unbelievable

The club shouldn't be putting a bunch of tickets aside for any sets of supporters. We don't need to be members for normal tickets as we have the AMS system for that. To say if you join another group you can get them more easily is a joke.

If however someone from the A21 group/membership/club/whatever went down and queued up with teveryone else with forms then accept my apologies for the rant above.

Is it possible that they were the other person who wanted 55 in one go?

It's all about distribution though isn't it.
Why shouldn't tickets be sold through different avenues?
After all, everyone had the option of buying them from Withdean rather than queuing up along Queens Road.
The only reason that there are no queues for A21 members is because there are so few tickets available.
At the end of the day, we are all Albion fans who happen to live in the East of the county, not corporate men with priviledged ticket allocations.

The option to most fans in Brighton was to to queue up and buy tickets at the clubshop or Withdean. Why should members of some "club" not have to queue up at either and get tickets?

I don't have a problem with people buying 55 tickets as they did as most people doing so queued up anyway.

But it sounds to me as you had tickets set aside for you and no one queued up for them

 

[Seagull Stew]

So had the club hired a booth in Hastings town centre to sell 50-100 tickets to queuing customers, would that make you happier?
What is the fuss about? I never realised there was so much resentment on this site to fellow Brighton fans!

I'm really glad I brought this pretty irrelevant question up now.
By the way, does anyone have the answer to it?

As far as I know the A21 tickets were not pre allocated somebody I know was planning to queue up on Saturday for the tickets. I am going to cardiff on one of the A21 coaches but decided to queue up yesterday as I wanted a £46 ticket rather than the £40 they were going to get. I ended up with a £32 in the end
