[Albion] Are we booking Leicester or wot?

Not exactly, T1s loaded their baskets before 9am for their T2 mates on day 2, so when sales opened at 9am all the tickets were gone.

Dazzer, it would be a great help to me if you explained what happens here.

Tickets were due to be on sale to tier 2 at 9am. Tier 2 fans can't open the page for the match tickets until then. However as tier 1 people are eligible to log in they do so at 8:55am and select some tickets which go into their basket. Those seats are then not available for anyone else to purchase for 10 minutes. As soon as it turns 9am all the tier 2 people start trying to buy but find there aren't any seats available as the the tier 1 people have them in their baskets already. Those tier 1 people then allocate the tickets to their friends and family that are in tier 2 and now eligible to buy a ticket.

Supposedly the club have said this isn't possible any more. As I'm not tier 1 and don't know any tier 1s that have done this in the past I can't confirm that.

2 tickets sorted. Lovely old job

I think the club said they were going to clear peoples baskets just before 9am to remove this option. No idea if they do this or not.
Wouldn't seem to be a problem for Leicester anyway given that a third block is now open and over 800 tickets now available,

Now on sale to My Albion +. A very slow uptake so far

Over 400 available so likely to go to purchase history on Thurs I would think.

Exactly….understand there was another factor re Brentford in that LPs for an away game (FGR I think ?) were added after the tier LPs had been assigned, meaning several more presumably ended up in T1 before they went on sale, further limiting the no of tickets available to T2.

From playing around when buying several sets of tickets recently I think they have put a tweak in place to prevent the basket-loading - I could only assign tickets to F&F with sufficient tier points for the tier that is open at the time.

Have we taken full allocation for this or is block M1 still to be released?

Blocking the M1 won’t help anyone on the day

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Same here. Went last January and hoping it'll be same as its only an hour from me

Purchase history today, still 250 tickets left with one block to open. Just bagged two.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

How is Everton not drivable?

Indeed. It’s literally a 19 minute drive.

Block M1 hasn't opened. Only M2 and M3 so far

 

[patchamalbion]

Dare I say that some who moan about the system/not getting away tickets should jump on this?….

Reasonable distance and winnable.

Can't book mine yet? Obviously not enough purchase history so will have to wait for general sale

You’re thinking of Aldrington

Compared to 5 points for Boro, 15 here is generous

Have you been to an Amex game and have a fan number? Apologies if that's a silly question but that should be enough.

Yes, was at Amex against forest in October and at wolves last month
