Back to the Ballot process. Does it mean that if you get a ticket for the Palace game you automatically move to the back of the queue for the other games, or if you name comes out for the next two games it go into another pot and someone else is picked - until the first pot is empty and then they start on the pot of those who got lucky for the first or second match?
Not sure I like this idea, not really had a problem getting tickets with membership this year, although the new system does seem to be have some bugs in it, you'd have thought they would have tried to sort them out rather than take this approach - seem like they are doing something so if there are any complaints about getting tickets due to problems with the service provided, they can point to this as the answer.
Hopefully it will be sorted by the start of next season.
We are a dedicated lot.
On Monday I was offered £500 for my season ticket for the last game, £50 short of what I paid for it.
Unless someone wants to pay off my mortgage ;wink
Suze shame it wasn't the old ticket style, could've given it to them in an envelope, which had the SWANSEA game....then done a runner ;wink
It would have been good if they could have sent a short email to the unsuccessful applicants but that would have put more pressure on an already under pressure ticket office.
Well that's not quite the truth again is it! Had the Ballot paper for the Manu and Swansea games arrive today so thought I would fill one out and send it in - did so but am not holding out much hope of getting a ticket.
You see, what they DON'T tell you is that it is not one entry per member, the person submitting the ballot can include and additional ten - yup, that's right TEN members, so if I and ten other members got together we could actually submit 11 ballot papers with all of our names on them, which would mean our chances of getting tickets would be greatly increased.
So how is that 'Fair' against a ballot paper with only one name on it (as in my case) with one chance of being picked?
So in theory if there were 7,500 tickets up for grabs through this process, they could actually fill all the seats by picking.... ;hmm , off the top of my head that's around 680 ballot papers.
Just add it to the list Adme....
Talked to another hammer AM in the village this morning, this only applies to the lead name on each ballot form apparently as he and 4 of the fans he meets at the match all put in application with al their names on it for the Gunners game and all received ballot confirmation emails - although I think they all missed out for that one, but they are doing the same for these two fixtures.
I would hope that someone at the club would notice and re-draw another ballot paper.
Not sure how it works but I think they start with the more expensive ones then move to the less dear ones after that.
;weep
Spoke to someone at the reservation centre yesterday who said they are still working through the list and are now at July.
Which begs the question.... Why the fan +2 ?
Why keep asking people to join the list even though the demand was way too high in the first place ?
The club are now going with... 'Any remaining people on the list will join the waiting list for the year after. ' - Ah that's ok then ;doh
