Bournemouth away tomorrow

[afcb]

A mate who lives locally gave me this advice for the Friday game which you might find useful and it's free on street.

park outside at health centre/gym opposite side of road near queens park golf club. Would be easier to get away at end of match

Yep that's where we used to park when we had 5K attendances..now its a mile from that location....unless you rock up at 6pm forget it.

Didn't buy a ticket originally as I wasn't likely to be able to make it due to work commitments. Had more than enough loyalty points.

Now I'm free tonight and in need of a football fix: so if any of you point-scavengers have a ticket you don't need, let me know

Hope to wake up to a good result in the morning.

Will be a good test to see if the club need to de-couple tickets and loyalty points.

If so they could sell loyalty point bundles directly, and save available tickets for those that want to go to the game.

Allegedly loyalty can not be bought.

We are moving about 200 yards away. The Academy will be at the golf club.

I stand corrected. That's not how it was put in a post last week. In there it said King's Park was to be the new training facility.

I thought the club would simply send a club operative down with a ticket barcode scanner and those tickets purchased that are scanned got the points and those that didn't well didn't .

For everyone clucking about loyalty point purchasers for games such as this stopping them from going just have a look at Twitter for '3 tickets for a tenner' merchants who no longer want to go...

Are you an illegal ticket tout ?

Yep. Saw half a dozen of these selfish chancers in 5 minutes, searching #bhafc on twitter, this morning.

Of course every single one of them, if challenged, will have a perfectly good reason why they are 'suddenly' unable to use the tickets they purchased.

And check passports to ensure the purchaser is the user. Imprison those who aren't

The old "I just happen to be in the town for work where the Albion are playing mid week" line eh

Erm. Non. Abhor those absolute dog-shites.

Merely enabling the technologically challenged in the pursuit of tickets.

As someone said they should only get the points if your ticket is scanned in at the game
I could have bought at least ten tickets for the game tonight now after looking at twitter
The scary thing is that when we play Newcastle away on Dec 30th I expect loyalty points will be quite high for that one and again people will buy them for points and stop fans like me getting the chance to get up and see the game

I am going again-same hotel-same pub as Friday. FYI had Spanish,french and N/irish people around me in in row I seat 163 can only presume players guest tickets ?---however the Spanish guy joked I should be drinking wine not coffee so he hasn't been many English games !

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Basically the loyalty point system is now a complete mess, with point harvesters now buying tickets and selling on tickets to random others.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Happened at Watford too, mainly a large group of young lads who wanted to stand together in the aisle rather than go to their seats.

To be honest it was pissing annoying, as they blocked our view of the goal, although had to give them credit for the singing.

Re Bournemouth, I will be pissed off if there are a lot of empty seats, but it's my fault as I didn't get a ticket as quickly as I could have. Girl in the BHA ticket office insisted you had to go through the turnstile to get the points though.

Sadly that's bollocks. As has been said in the past, if the club can't be arsed to do it for the home cup games, they sure as hell won't bother with the aways.

yes I have leg irons ready if needed
seriously there was never this ho ha over blackpool away and ive been 3 times since the amex was built
anyone stupid enough to sell there tickets to anyone else will end up getting barred by the club if something goes wrong/ie illegal with the person holding there ticket----and lets be fair for a tenner if you bought for points do you really need to sell it .
id wager there will be no more than 100 people not show up.
for the record if I hadn't booked and payed for a hotel already and changed my holiday at work to attend this game I would feel entitled to change my mind and not attend if I so felt the urge - and that's that !
ps its b/muff for gods sake not Barcelona

I think a game like this is more likely to be abused than Newcastle. Will be £30 for a Newcastle ticket. It's also an expensive time of year.

I also think this will calm down a bit. Now we know Day 1 points for league games are the total number eligible for a ticket, there may be less of a panic from some who are comfortably safe already.

I know what a coincidence, how does that keep on happening to me?

I got a ticket sorted. I saw that there were tickets available on official website. I have 169 points and the tickets are only on sale to the fans on points when they sold out. Called and tried to persuade them.to sell me on officially but no joy so I had to go to the "black market" totally daft and I could have done with the the Away points!
