JC Surprised at the number of regular season ticket holders around me today who are not going to Wemblet. Reason given was the same all round - no +1 for STH meaning they could not go with any of their family.
Obviously that decision has upset a fair number of STH's


I was a bit pissed off at the lack of a +1. But LOL @ missing a once in a lifetime event for it.


They did not want to sit up in the gods


Nor did I, so I bought lower tier tickets on day one.

As soon as the sales criteria was announced I told all my +1s they were shit out of luck

So they're happy to attend 23 home games a year on their own, but not a trip to Wembley for a semi final unless Doris can come?

:shock:

Have you considered the possibility they may have lots of friends and which ones go varies each week?

Or that those friends & family go to half a dozen or so games a year due to other commitments but don't have lots of points, so they resigned themselves to not going together and so just didn't bother, especially anticipating a heavy defeat?

So how would +1 have made any difference ? Or were they expecting +lots ?

Because they could go with someone they wanted to, in the area they wanted, without any worry or hassle. I'm not too fussed, I'm going with a pal anyway who's had to use his Dad's ST, but with a +1 I could have sorted him out (He was a STH for years, but seems to have not got a member number these days for some reason), or I could have taken my Nephew who's been to a few games over the years, sometimes as a guest of someone with a spare ticket, but I wasn't prepared to wait towards the end of the points levels to secure him a ticket, he won't be going on his own. I can see possibilities of families in similar situations where a parent decides not to go if they can't be sure of taking the child.

What's done is done, it's not a big deal. But I think the take up of tickets has shown that a +1 wouldn't have wrecked anything.

Does anyone know if you are able to get a refund on a ticket??

I have a spare in 108 that was ordered internally, but had bought my own ticket 'up in the gods' a few hours before that was processed (so I could sit with a mate rather than by myself) and thought my 'other means' request would have been stopped as my member number had a ticket purchased already.

Tuesday 14th should be last delivery date/panic date if they start posting them out around the 9th as promised.
