Apologises for the question but, whats this about tickets in the west. Have I miss read this completely
It is for this reason alone that fans should have been awarded points for attendance last season.
Disappointing.
Recently (ish) moved into the area (been to many games in the past, Goldstone etc.). Got to see a game at Withdean recently (Sheff Wed) but bought here so (home games were always sold out), although I am on the database, have not any "official purchase history" so won't be able to get a ticket. I was intending on seeing 10 or so home games (other commitments meant I could not buy a ST). My try phoning with my sob story
Or to put it another way, how can one get a purchase "history" if you can't buy a ticket in the first place......

I was thinking the same thing, 18k season ticket holders, 2k away fans, 1k on sale now for non season ticket holders. Where are the other tickets ?
you should be ok with just a fan number.
All I can say is those that want a ticket will get one. I have never ever not got a ticket for ANYTHING I didnt want to go to. They may have to pay thru the nose of course thats supply and demand. Depends how much they are willing to stump up. Especially those that are apparantly "desperate" to see it.
You are using yourself as a case study, one fan amongst many thousands. Writing off touting as 'supply and demand' is both crass and churlish. I f***ing hate touts. They are scum.
Using myself as a case study, as one fan seems to be enough in your eyes, I was priced out of the last game at the Goldstone. As a schoolboy, I was not in a position to pay £90 for a £4 ticket. Thankfully, I was able to watch 80% of the pitch from above the East Stand - not possible nowadays.
Friend of my parents who is a chelsea fan and his "not too bothered about football" liverpool fan son are going and it fucks me off to be honest, but that's just life I geuss.
No neither was I so my parents got me the £4 ticket, I was also in the Hereford end at "that" game. My dads brother lived in Gloucester so got me and two mates a ticket. There are ways of avoiding touts, but im sorry it IS supply and demand. They are a necessary evil sometimes.
Necessary evil does, perhaps, describe it, but out of principle, I will never aid someone to profiteer from an event. Curses to principles!
