[Albion] Stand by for Ticket site meltdown tomorrow

[Jack Straw]

I've just found out I can go to Stoke.

Can anyone lend me a wheelchair?

No, but I know some people who could put you in the situation where you'd need one!

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I've just found out I can go to Stoke.

2 questions:-

1 - Is there any point me repeatedly checking the ticket site for odd ones?
&
B - Can anyone lend me a wheelchair?

Buy NOW on line.

 

[Stat Brother]

Buy NOW on line.

Booo why did you tell everyone else.

 

[Gazwag]

Any guidance as to which to avoid?

Back over lower and back of upper apparantly but there are also roof supports as well

Looking at seating plan. The corner reads LV3; LV2; UV1 going up and a little way up the pitch LV4; LV2, UV2 going up. All seats start on the side of the pitch, but looks as if the first block will not be past the goal line. Hope we get the choice and not worst tickets first as usual.

We have had a choice of blocks for every away game this season

Please tell me not another Anfield Rd Lower or that dump of a stand at Elland Road, at both of which the view at the back is restricted to say the least?

Seems to be a common thing with these “famous old grounds”. Shit view and facilities. Highbury and Upton Park were the same, sit in the back row and you can’t see half the pitch!

Apparently so

Goodison Park section LV1 row N seat 0049

Another disgrace of a view.Shocking in this day and age with all that cash floating around these “big clubs”.

Queue Number 1170

 

[AnotherArch]

Pretty quiet today. As well as Everton, I had to get Leicester tickets for family (bronze) and was all done by 9.20.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Got in after 38minutes five Everton tickets (sans pillars) secured.

 

[nicko31]

No probs, good tics for Arsenal game

 

[el punal]

Yes the usual great planning by the Albion is is place for tomorrow.

Everton away - Top tier loyalty sale starts
Arsenal home - Bronze open
Leicester home - Bronze open

Fully expecting you are number 6,083 with an expected waiting time of 4 hours and 43 minutes.

Yes I know I can still get an Everton ticket on the first day, but why do they still bundle all these sale dates into one day?

Well that was painless, seven minutes from queue position 368 to purchase an Everton ticket. Slightly beats your 4 hours 43 minutes!!

 

[Official Old Man]

At the beginning of the season I purchased away tickets within minutes of the site being open. Down side was I always got seats down the front. Knowing now that I'm guaranteed a ticket on day one I wait until the afternoon when better seats are allocated.

Oh noooo.
Just got on, straight in. UV2 sold out (best block), LV4 (pitch side) sold out. I got UV1 row G. Plenty in LV1 & LV2 but I wonder why. Get in early if you can buy today.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

In and done in 5 minutes

 

[dazzer6666]

The queue numbers assigned aren’t ‘real’ numbers of the people ahead of you........think they must be a bit like the tickets at the deli counter, and start wherever it finished the day before or something. The ‘wait time’ is the key thing, although never seems to be as long as predicted (probably due to people logging in with multiple devices to buy their tickets)

Good luck with your seat, given the following

'If you can, try to avoid getting get tickets for the rear sections of both the upper and lower tiers, as the view can be quite poor. For example, in the rear of the lower tier there are a number of supporting pillars that can hinder your view, the seating is of the old wooden type and the gap between rows is tight. The front of the lower tier is a lot better having newer seats and no supporting pillars to contend with. The rear of the upper tier also has problems as Neil Theasby a visiting Hull City supporter informs me; 'Our seats were on the very back Row S and the view was awful! There were two obscuring pillars but worse than that the angle of the roof meant that you couldn't see the video screen and the view of the opposite touchline was also partly obscured'.

Was UV2 no doubt is sold out as it was the default option on signing in, LV4 would have sold out to those fans that are aware of the sight issues, as this block is at the front and not the closest to the corner, giving unhindered views and better seats(?)

LV1 and LV2 are the upper blocks of the lower section and again suffer from potential sightline issues.

It was far easier when the away fans were on the terracing behind the goal

We are UV1 Row G as well.

edit: Just seen Studio 150's post above.

I wanted LV4 but wasn't available or sold out (cant imagine the latter) so settled for LV3, probably just inside the goal line but no roof or pillars to worry about
