thebrokendoll 8672 Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 I'm linked to my mates membership but for some bizarre reason the star next to our names which allow you to purchase tickets on each others behalf has disappeared. my mate is currently in the queue to enter the ballot for 2 tickets for us but I'm unsure whether or not it'll allow him to do it without the star being there? thought I'd ring the box office in the meantime while he's waiting to get the star put back on and I'm 89th in a queue to get to speak to someone! losing the will to live with this shite! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 31653 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 The queue went back to the friendlies tickets! What a parcel of shit! (I then got an email inviting me to a ballot via a link so it's done but what a fuck on as it wasn't advertised how you could apply to join a ballot. Shambolic tbh).

The Fish 10430 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Dunno why it's this complicated? Surely Season tickets holders have their seat first and foremost. (about 30k at the minute?) Away teams have their allocations and can sort their own shit out. (say 5k) Members have the option of a group or individual membership Then those members enter a ballot for seat(s) at their chosen price point and have their money held until the end of the ballot (remaining 17k) Once the ballot has ended, successful fans can long on and choose seats for them or their group on a first come first served basis? Any seats left over, or returned by away fans can roll into a secondary ballot. Members accrue points by attending games which slightly increases their chances in the next ballot?

Trouble is, like ackas says, you can only do one category, I chose two rather than category three which would've worked out cheaper as cat 2 has no discount for the 18-21 but I've a feeling cat 3 which does have the discount is right near the away fans. I'm going to have a look now for future reference but didn't have the time to look this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 31653 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Just had a look and not sure if the pic info is recent but category 3 is the corner of the Milburn L4 which would've been ok but also the very bottom rows of the Leazes which wouldn't have been ok. Far more choice with category two which is the rest of the Leazes plus Gallowgate etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 31653 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 So I'll know by Friday if we've been successful. Apparently the next day people can transfer tickets if they're not going as maybe they might be suffering from PTSD from a recent car breakdown on a family holiday or an avian attack? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
