[Albion] AEK Athens - ticketing process, tiers and all that jazz

[Giraffe]

Back up to 52 (non disabled)

Just practised best available on Everton away and it’s been ‘waiting’ for over a minute…not sure I trust it.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

But they can't, can they?

No, all they are doing is preventing T2s buying them in the next 15 mins or so (which is unlikely now anyway) at 2pm they’ll all be fair game.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Not expecting a reply to be honest, he just wanted to see his passport number like the tier 1s have, just to check its right. He checked it twice, I’m not concerned

Fair enough, i'll try not to be too!

Just experimented and it worked instantly for me. Looks like a good bet for a single ticket for sure. Don't worry I have deleted from basket!

 

[Napper]

8 available , people being nobs selecting and adding to basket.

If you have a ticket then no need to add

9 left. A lot of pre deadline hoarding going on. I assume a clearance ahead of 2pm or a lot of cross people!

 

[Giraffe]

Back up to 47, someone is on to this hoarding business! I wonder if it's manual or automatically. You'd think it would do it a nano second before it opens, but it feels like it might be manual?

For Marseille Tier 2 (I think it was), they temporarily made the game sold out about 15 minutes before and cleared it all out then.

Seemed to work well, as everyone had the same chance when the BUY button came back.

Perfect. That makes sense.

I can imagine someone in the ticket office monitoring NSC and marvelling at this thread!

A saddo, watching the saddo's? Or should that be saddoes? Saddites?

That would make much more sense and stop all this trying to nab tickets before the window opens.

Just say 30 minutes before the next window opens the tickets will go off sale. So tier 1 you have from Friday 9am to 8:30 Monday morning to get your tickets. Tier 2 9am to 13:30 etc etc.

 

[Shins]

Only saw 1 non disabled area ticket available

They didn't clear baskets out before 2pm...did they?

 

[Giraffe]

I watched this closely (given I wasn't actually buying a ticket). I don't think they cleared the baskets before 2pm. They may have done it at about 1.50pm, but then not again as the number never went back to even close to 50. I took a few screenshots and the most available was 2 tickets when presumably someone had duplicated with their mates and let go.

I'd keep refreshing even now though.

No they definitely did not.

 

[GJN1]

Better tell my son we're not going then. Can I get a refund on his ticket?

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Yes! Got my ticket! 14:00:20

It was showing as 1 available when I clicked Block 47 and Best Available. Hit Buy and there was a terrible pause before the "purchase successful" screen appeared. I had my passprt number on the clipboard just in case, and it was plain sailing from there. Unbelievable! But I'm going.
