Rhys The Royal Not happy about this, phoned up and bought a season ticket reserved seat yesterday and he assured me that the seat next to it was available but couldn't be purchased by anyone else until 9am today. Clearly not.



Ha sit gone??? if so get closest in row and ask folk to move up a bit

I've had to go to the T/O to get my ticket. On line ticket purchasing was not allowing me in. I gt to the T/O straight after shift and at 8.20 was 8th in line. At least 50 people were waiting in line when i left. Now sorted out.

No such luck getting online ticketing to work, shambles but not surprised.

Brother isn't delighted he's having to go across town :)

Then again. One quarter final ticket bought. Looking at the online ticket sale thing, Y22-25 basically sold out, Y19 and Y26 with maybe 100 seats each or so.

GU1 and GU2 only a few seats sold, B18 B13 GU13 GU12 GU11 GU10 and GU3 are the blocks with tickets left.

Just bought 2 online. Had to wait about 20 minutes. Good availability in parts of Upper West. Some available on the flanks of the North and in the East around the scoreboard. Mostly singles dotted about elsewhere.

Why "shambles"? Number of connections limited to prevent overload, a clear message telling you so, the option to keep re-trying there and then or try again later and other ways to buy, as your brother is doing. Sat patiently refreshing for all of, ooh, 10 minutes, then in, signed on, bought, signed out, got on with life. Shambles? Don't think so.

Tickets booked in B17 for Wiz and a few others. Not many left though, this should sell out in the next day or so.

Singles dotted around the popular areas, plenty in corners and front of corners. I dont think it will fully sell out, I would not pay the same to watch from B12 as I would for Y21. Lets hope they stagger prices a bit in the future, like other clubs do.

So is demand looking higher than people (including the ticket office thought?).

Still not worth staggering the sales in order to give priority to those who go more often than not?

Seems a bit off that the system starts selling tickets before the advertised time. As Dirk says, at least this will favour those few who know the system pretty well and so might give proper fans a bit of an advantage.
