[Albion] Everton tickets

[Luke the Lucky]

On a side note, does anyone have any recommendations for getting a cheap train ticket/ cheap travel?

Would prefer to get the train but would go on the coach if its significantly cheaper.

We were told it was random but it is definitely first in first served. I was logged in at 840 on my phone and at 850 on a laptop and at 9am was 150odd in the queue on my phone and 500odd on the laptop. I got into the ticket site within about 5 after my phone so wasn't much tbf. I remember a similar thing happening last season.

Had the opposite today, tried on two devices and the second one to be on the site was given a better spot in the queue.

These 2 posts taken together would suggest that it is indeed random so thank you both for posting.
Leading on from that and taking gazwag's post as an example if anyone logs on with 2 devices and gets given 2 places in the queue eg 150 and 500 they will obviously use the 150 place to enter the site. However, what then happens to the 500 place? i would assume that it remains active till that point is reached and then as you are given 10 minutes from that point to enter it is only after that period that the queue moves on. So my point is if only a few are registering with more than one device the overall effect will be negligible however if that practice becomes or has become commonplace then there will be a sort of snowball effect on the length of the queue.
Although to be fair reading @Titanic post it would seem there was some sort of glitch in the system this morning creating a lot more places in the queue.

Its shouldnt be random though, if you look at titanics comment earlier the screenshot states tickets are available on a first come, first served basis so the queue should reflect that. Might message supporter services to query because it would be good to know how it works in practice!

You are right about multiple devices possibly adding artificial length to the queue though, hadn't considered that.

It lets you have two sessions on one log in as I picked the tickets on my phone first but before I purchased them I scanned on the laptop to see if there were any better ones first before I purchased on my phone.

Queue positions are allocated randomly.

Everyone who arrives on the ticketing site before the allotted time is put in a virtual waiting room, and when the time comes queue spots are randomly distributed.

Ah OK, thanks for clearing it up

Sorry if being a bit thick here but do you mean that as soon as you were able to enter on your phone you were also able to on your laptop OR do you mean that you held the tickets you had selected on your phone until the laptop was able to enter?

Sorry I was unclear, when I got in on my phone I selected two tickets and then a couple of minutes later I logged in on the lap top - the laptop session didn't start until I got to position 500 odd so not the same time

Train tickets are a right mare today, it may just be Avanti's website messing around or there are just very few left, I ve tried to buy but it keeps failing. Unless you have a rail card the coach will be cheaper as there are no advance tickets to be found. Best I can find is £120 for an adult + child with F&F card

I've got Bristol - Lime St return @ £56... bargain.... Note: Snr Railcard, which I have just qualified for.

£120 for 2 is the best I could find as well from Eastbourne with a Two Together rail card.

I think this will sell out, no question

I doubt it with that many still left

I've been looking at what tickets are available and am struggling to understand something...
In block UV1, the lower numbers start on the left side of the seating plan as you look at it, suggesting that the higher numbers in that block will be right down in the corner.
However, photos uploaded to https://aviewfrommyseat.co.uk/venue/goodison+park/UV1/ look like its the lower numbers which are in the corner.
Am I being incredibly stupid and missing something?

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Can anyone please share how many are left ?

I had not noticed this myself but do agree it is different. Also when there are two adjacent blocks like UV1 and UV2 the seat numbers normally span the blocks so that for example seat 42 at the end of one block will be next to seat 43 in the adjacent block. Again this is not the case here as UV1 starts with seat 1 next to UV2 .
I think the only assumption we can make is that for some reason the seat numbers have been changed since the photos were taken.
The only thing i can say is that when the UV1 block was first released there was a diagonal line of seats greyed out running from the bottom right of the block to the top left which i suppose is because the pillar you can see in some of the photos blocks the view of the goal from them thus indicating the block is the right way round on the plan.
