an absolute fucking abomination their website this morning!

think the combination and sheer volume of people trying to get dortmund at home resale tickets, dortmund away tickets, man utd cup tickets at zero points and palace home resale tickets yesterday has finally broken the fucking thing!

been bombarded with invalid urls, queue-it systems when there isnt a queue and a whole host of captcha puzzles involving bridges, zebra crossings, bicycles, traffic lights, motorbikes, buses and just about every other structure known to mankind.

i.t. bloke has well and truly got his work cut out this morning when he rocks up!  :lol:

decided to continue with me quest to get a resale ticket for the palace game this morning only to find i was in a queue-it system for the ballot for the arsenal home game.

seems the club are forgetting to add this info in the home tickets section. ie, unless you click on 'ballots' from the top menu you wouldn't be aware it was actually open..... anyway it is!

hooray for our ballot system.  :lol:

Horrendous this morning trying to get Dortmund tickets.  Wouldn't let me on despite having enough points.  Fortunately me mate managed to get my ticket for me.  Might have made sense for them to drop the points for Dortmund over the weekend rather than waiting til the same time they were putting the Arsenal ballot sale on.

Same thing happened last week when they first went on sale, a sale and a ballot simultaneously. Fuckin useless. Some people on twatter insinuating inside knowledge that the woman running the ticketing operation doesn’t have the right skill set/experience and will be replaced in the summer. We’ll see…

It doesn't take any insider knowledge to see that someone there is clearly lacking in the required ability to run things properly mind.  I wonder if other clubs have the same problems.  A mate of mine was told by someone in the box office last year that nearly every club has the same computer system in for their box offices.  Maybe it simply is that we have morons running ours.

:lol: Looking forward to the Professor breaking down his refresh technique.

 


I’ll try anything :lol:

 

i keep seeing people on Twitter saying they’ve been successful in the resale…like, how? I’ve been refreshing the bastard for days now. 
 

Genuinely considering dropping £150+ on a tout site at this stage because life is too short and I’ve got too much other stuff going on to be sat refreshing that site 24/7

My mate got corporate tickets for PSG the Saturday before the game. I was pleased for him, but that shouldn't be possible when people are wearing fingers down to the nub refreshing and just being told there aren't any tickets available.

 

I suppose the club's response would be this is how we're gonna compete with the big lads.

just random i think mate. I hit the refresh button then move the cursor over to the drop down box ready for if anything appears even before the page has fully loaded.... just in case.... then repeat refresh. probably takes marginally over a second. maybe 50 refreshes a minute. maybe get away with doing that continuously for 15 minutes or 750 refreshes before you're in robot territory and get kicked off the website for a while! 

their website had a meltdown on friday till nearly lunchtime, think the i.t. man must've needed to come in and clear the cache or something after thursday's shenanigans, there was nowt showing all weekend for palace, just seemed likely they'd have had some returns over the last couple of days and there'd be some appear on the system today..... just got to be lucky and see them as well as get one in the basket before anyone else.  good luck!  :)

it's shit mate, no doubt about it.

there's without doubt plenty of criticism can be pointed at last years 10am mayhem, certainly from those who were unable to be online at that time. I think while multi-log ins were questionable too, most people had cottoned on to it and were participating in the end as well.

regardless, I fail to see how selling unlimited memberships, including potentially to away supporters has made things any better?

doubt they're overly fussed mind, they've coined it in on memberships sales and ticket price increases.

has anyone ever used a ticket tout site? there are some going for the dortmund game at about £200 on stub hub, which my mate reckons is kosher app - anyone ever used it before?

 

it's more palatable than £900 on the only remaining hospitality seat. can't help fear i might get stung though

How does it work for electonic tickets?  I thought the whole point of it was to make this imposible? Presumably you'll have to give your details?  I'd be very wary like.

yeah, that's why i asked. i'm not sure tbh. my mate has got one for the palace game - cost him £70. the dortmund ones are all going at around £200+ 

 

might see how he gets on with his palace experience before i follow suit. stub hub is a reputable site which guarantees you get the ticket, or they refund you, so fuck knows
