Gemmill 51099 Posted Monday at 18:27 Share Posted Monday at 18:27 Wow, that fucking stinks. Making people pay a membership fee for the privilege of entering a ballot with that low of a success rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 2 in the ballot this season, there's 6 home games left. bear in mind also we've had half a dozen or so home cup games. relying on the ballot alone your chances of a ticket are about in 1 in every 10. very soon the club will be taking in more money from the 14,000 or so tickets which go on sale each home game to members than they do for the 30 odd thousand season tickets. which is why any fucker harbouring any ambitions of getting one if a larger ground is built are living in cloud cuckoo land. on the contrary, once this comes in at newcastle, which it will, expect a cull on season ticket holders bending the rules as it is, facial recognition is just round the corner.....

There's been a few occasions where the whiff of 'I'm alright jack' has appeared even in the carefully selected questions they ask for polls. 14 hours ago, thebrokendoll said: sounds about right.

I fucking despair me. they literally won't be happy till they know exactly who is sat in each seat at every game. there'll be no chance of ever passing on a ticket to a family member or friend, unless they too are registered at the club with photo identification. it's got fuck all to do with touting or crowd trouble, youre going to a fucking football match man, why are these cunts so obsessed with wanting to know who you are? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6959 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Yeah it's society today, sadly. They know who you are and they can data harvest from multiple sources to target advertise based on what they find out about you. Sharing WiFi connections seems to be an avenue that's exploited as well. My other half's dad lives alone and had a fall a couple of months ago - a few days later when we were all at his house the B-I-L was googling for personal alarms and because we were connected to the same WiFi router, me and the missus started getting contextual advertising for personal panic alarms! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzler 12168 Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago I got in through the palace ballot. I’ve been successful in 5 games so seemingly above average. I’ll likely not score for another ticket for a while though. Fulham was my last one, which was ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham was my last one, which was ages ago. i haven't managed to get a single ticket in the ballot this season i haven't entered as many as i did last year however and have been more successful in the resale, thanks to some advice from TBD and KD. it's always worth refreshing in the build up to the game itself as tickets do pop up. it's just annoying as they're usually single tickets - it's practically impossible to get a pair of tickets together now unless you pay over the odds via one of the tout websites.

I’ve effectively resigned myself to getting tickets through the ballot or not going at all. I can’t be arsed jumping in queues for hours on end to find out they only have singles when I take the bairn with me. I’m adding the younger of the two next year as well so will probably have less luck when trying to get my hands on three tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
