A bit like that time I saw PL at Cardiff, honestly he could barely speak he was that far gone. (Obviously didn't bother me at the time, we've all been there at one time or another). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrokendoll 9058 Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 reading the young'uns forum it would appear the ticketing website has been absolutely fucking shambolic yet again, last couple of pages here.... https://newcastle-online.org/topic/37351-memberships-202425/page/160/ got a best place of 900 and something and managed a ticket in the gallowgate, so i suppose i shoudn't really be complaining, but it is farcical.

thebrokendoll 9058 Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 0/3 success rate in the ballot, man city the latest failure. would be nice if they gave even a hint of information as to how they've split the available tickets between ballot/online sale. far be it from me to throw a conspiracy theory in to the equation but I also wonder if the ballot is weighted in the favour of those who"ve forked out the extra tenner to be superdooper mag+ members?

This time last year I had 0/3 or 4 so gave up and haven't bothered since and won't buy a membership again. The year before at the same stage I had something like 7/8 before missing out.

thebrokendoll 9058 Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 @Dr Gloom... did you get a ticket in the home end for fulham? last season it wouldn't let me buy a one for the league game despite having registered and bought one for the fa cup, I assume because of not having enough points? anyway, because of that I never bothered checking till this morning and after logging in it seems it'll let me get one this time. no availability at all in the putney road end next to away support but there's some not too far away in the corner of the riverside stand for a bargain £105..... they can go and fuck themselves!

Dazzler 9352 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I’ve tried the Man City and Brighton games for the family section with the bairn. I’ll try my luck with general tickets next time since the family section is a total bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 104 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 0/4 this season. Got about 7 last season in total through the ballot, 2 the year before when it was a free for all for tickets at 10am due to work commitments meaning I could never get on.

thebrokendoll 9058 Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 last one I got in the ballot was forest on boxing day last season! absolutely convinced it's because they know the card I use to pay for tickets never gets used for any of their ludicrously overpriced club shop tat/food/beer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I got absolutely smashed on the Saturday at the sela weekender with my card I use for tickets so by this logic I should have scored for at least one set of tickets so far.

I usually can't drink anymore by the time I get in there, and even if I could I wouldn't be paying the cunts £6 for a small plastic bottle of piss kingston press cider.
