All baskets were emptied. At 9am, over 300 were showing available. All sold within a minute or so

which is exactly what it should be... A complete Lottery..
Agree to disagree... no one will admit they did this though
Next to none. They sold out weeks ago.
Keep trying folk, people will drop in and out of the process. Last season I managed to get a T2 Fulham ticket at about 9.20.
And for those saying they were held, Titanic's screen print shows they weren't in T1 baskets. The not finding out you've lost the ticket until payment is very snide though.

That's the issue- once you have them in your basket you should hold them for 15 minutes. To have them in your basket and not be able to pay is not OK.

People will always try but the system flushes T1 basket holders before opening the new window and has done since the Brentford debacle last season. It will be a repeatable, logic based bit of code that runs to open the window.

Why should you be able to hold them for 15 mins to break the system?
The system correctly kicked everyone out, then opened on the dot and then people bought tickets... If you weren't fast enough, that's just unlucky.

Actually the club did clear baskets because i was continually refreshing the front page from about 8.55
When i first logged in their were about 5 left because tier ones did indeed have them all in their baskets but about 20 seconds before nine there were suddenly 410 available across the 3 blocks as the tier one baskets were forcibly emptied. When i refreshed again it was down to 150 and next time just 3, that is how quick they went.

Ticketmaster holds the seat for 5 minutes once in your basket, all fit for purpose ticketing systems would do this.
You misunderstand me. You shouldn't be able to hold them across priority windows. I mean when you log in at 9am and get 3 tickets added to your basket, you should then hold those tickets for 15 mins (or 10 mins or whatever) to give you time to pay etc. Once in your basket they should be yours. Any tier 1ers who were in at 8:59 and added to baskets to buy for tier 2ers should have had their baskets emptied at 9am to make it fair. Which I'm sure they did.
He doesn't mean people who tried to select them BEFORE 9.00am.
He means (and he's dead right) that it is completely shit that you could log in legitimately, select your AVAILABLE seats AFTER 9.00am, but when you click 'BUY' they are then 'unavailable'.
Odds were always against being successful this morning, and I'm not angry at missing out - but I am pissed off with the 20 minutes of crappy stress, thinking there was some technical malfunction stopping me from completing the purchase. All completely unnecessary.

Ticketmaster won't have priority level schemes like the way this one does....
I get you may be a bit miffed about not getting a ticket, but can assure you it wasn't because of the system....

Now i cant access the site, accused of being a fricken robot!
I hope it also activates a toilet flushing sound when it executes.

There needs to be a window of purchase for tier 1 which includes a lock out time, after which you essentially drop to the next tier. I am tier 2 and could not access the match via ‘buy’ until 9am, even being able to be in the ticket system for that match before 9 is an unfair advantage.
