Just spoke to ticket office

[Franks Wild Years]

I spoke to them wed 22nd at 11.45 and they were processing applications from the 10th(does this mean postal date or date recieved??)I posted mine on the 8th, so still got me fingers crossed.Oh Gawd as if there's not enough to worry about.
Roll on middle age and some terminal disease to put me out of this misery!

My completely uneducated guess is that they've stored them in oder of date received (partly because that's easiest).

I'm in the same boat as you Strummer.

That means DATE RECEIVED, and is exactly what they said to me 24 hours previously.

Having posted mine first class from London on the 8th, I had hoped that would squeeze me in, but I'm increasingly pessimistic.

But they have also made some sort of arbitrary cut-off point and sent out rejection letters like the one I got.

God the ticket office must get pissed off with everyone ringing them asking where they're up to with the applications. Just leave it, if you get one you get one, if you don't you don't - nothing we can do about it.

It's only a football match!

 

[Artois]

I'm in the same boat, sent the 8th.


So basically, everyone who sent them in on the 8th are all crossing their fingers and having a quiet word with him upstairs.

They had at least 1000 applications too many by last week alone (even after the extra tickets), so there must have been a point at which they said "no chance" and started sending out rejection letters – ie probably to applications receieved after the 10th.

Which makes it brown pants time for those of us who still have neither ticket nor rejection letter.... do we still make it as one of the last lucky few, or do we fall into the pile of rejectees? Reading between the lines, it seems the cut-off point is going to fall somewhere in the middle of the pile received on the 10th...

dunno mate ill try anything


i love bha i tried asking about my tickets and the bird just said they are too busy to answer individual queries, how who you spk to?

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Dannyboy,If you get through to someone at a computer as opossed to someone just answering phones, they can look up your name to see if its gone through. Mine hasn't but I've had no rejection letter either. I'm hoping that first class from bristol on the 8th would have got there 10th at the latest. Who knows?

 

[Scarface]

Dont worry if you get a rejection letter. We got one from the West Ham game and then the TO called back and offered us some returns. You never know!
