Lincoln tickets

I logged on to check something and they were available, so I've just bought mine online in the Bob Lord, has someone pressed the go button too early?

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 7:06 pm

They are available in the Longside upper online. I presume they have released all non ST holders seats.

dushanbe · Post by **dushanbe** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 7:08 pm

Just a bit odd, mine were sat in my basket waiting

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 7:13 pm

I think they've just got them ready for tomorrow and it doesn't affect anyone else.

Den_Perry · Post by **Den_Perry** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 7:22 pm

Just ordered and paid for mine in the Jimmy Mc upper, looks like they've managed to set it up early

Well spotted, I've just purchased mine in the JHU.

claret wizard · Post by **claret wizard** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 7:32 pm

Got mine an hour ago in JMU. Also lots available in JHU that I could have bought. Looks like they have realised seats up there. No other areas available apart from my season ticket seats. So looks like they want to fill the JHU first.

I've just purchased two Juveniles together in JHU 3 because I want to be sure to sit with my daughter. I will buy an adult ticket where I normally sit too the second it comes on open sale, and if the ST holders next to me hasn't bought his seat I'll get another Juvenile ticket for my daughter so we can sit there, the others I can give to my friends.

Claretmatt4 · Post by **Claretmatt4** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 8:36 am

Are we expecting a home sellout, or near enough anyway?

2 Bee Holed · Post by **2 Bee Holed** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 9:50 am

I am totally and utterly confused!

We have 2 ST's in the CFS.

This thread needs merging with the Lincoln ticket allocation thread.
I have posted several times on there. The club have made it clear that we will not be able to
purchase our CFS seats online.

When I log in now, I could if I wanted to, purchase my daughter's ST seat in the CFS! but not mine!
I could also if I wanted to, purchase 2 seats in JHU, but I need 3.

WTF is going on????????????

claretdom · Post by **claretdom** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 9:54 am

I have just logged in and the Lincoln game isn't even showing to buy tickets

karatekid · Post by **karatekid** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 9:59 am

I got my 2 ST seats in JMU no problem. In my basket, checked out and confirmed onto my membership card.

claretdom · Post by **claretdom** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 10:00 am

Now showing and all tickets in basket.

dushanbe · Post by **dushanbe** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 10:16 am

We need to sell out, if we don't we'll have Lincoln cry babies calling us tin pot.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 10:38 am

19/20k IMO

nonayclaret · Post by **nonayclaret** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 11:16 am

If you go into the Burnley official site, then online tickets, the normal buying process seems to be operating for clarets number fans.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 11:50 am

Just log in and then check your basket rather than looking at the seat plan.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 12:00 pm

Presuming if we draw all these Lincoln fans will be ok with getting around 3000 tickets at Sincil Bank?

Hillimp · Post by **Hillimp** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 12:25 pm

In the unlikely event of you needing a replay against the Lincoln Cry Babies you will get the whole Stacey West stand which holds about 1800 and is about 20% of capacity. Neither Ipswich or Brighton could fill it leaving 600 and 400 (respectively) empty seats in the ground.

Belial · Post by **Belial** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 12:35 pm

Brighton 400? I'm guessing that's the proper fans that used to go to the Withdean then

I am pretty sure that we will fill 1800 - any chance of another 5200 tickets if necessary?

Think he meant sold all but 600 & 400 respectively.

Meaning the took around 1,200 ( Ipswich ) & 1,400 ( Brighton )

Think we would sell it quite easily even if on TV, purely for the tick factor for the younger generation of fans.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 12:55 pm

Surely they'd move it to Wembley to accommodate all the home fans?

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 1:00 pm

Based on their chief executives demands, I'd be asking us to have twice as many as we have Season ticket holders (about 34,000 tickets then) or I'd whinge about it on twitter.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 1:13 pm

How have the Lincoln fans managed to get on your Twitter feed Lancaster to whinge?

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 1:20 pm

Their Chief Executive did.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 1:27 pm

Nah, just appeared on the timeline of one of those I follow

claretdom · Post by **claretdom** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 2:37 pm

I hope we have around 1k unsold tickets at kick off just to make them cry a bit more.

I was surprised to see at weekend Lincoln played away in the cup and the total crowd managed to just creep over 700, maybe the whinging plastics failed to see they had a game.

Willy · Post by **Willy** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 3:32 pm

I went online to buy mine and my 2 sons for the JMU and they were in the basket but both my sons were down as adults and there was no way of changing this.
I therefore rang the ticket office to explain this and was told to ring again and choose option 2.
I did this holding on for 15 minutes before putting the phone down as I'd jumped from number 5 to number 3 in the queue whilst listening to a repetitive plug for the Holiday Inn Express.
I then rang again at lunch time and hung up after 25 minutes of the same.
I rang back chose option 1 and bought the tickets at the correct value whilst incurring a £1.60 booking fee!

titsoutforthelads · Post by **titsoutforthelads** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 4:47 pm

That phone call will have cost you a fortune Willy to hear about the virtues of the Holiday Inn.
I hope you weren't using somebody else's phone.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 5:15 pm

Willy send an email to the ticket office ticketoffice@burnleyfc.com and explain that you have followed their procedure as instructed and ended up being put to expense of which you require reimbursement. I'm sure they will be very helpful and sort it for you.

Beddie.....

Post of the year. "I'm sure they will be very helpful and sort it for you".

I cannot work out if you are being ultra sarcastic or if it's just me that is regularly treated like s**t by them.
My email to them today about my earlier post has been answered. I asked two questions;
1/. Why, when I log in, is my daughter's ST seat in the CFS in my basket, I thought CFS tickets were
not being sold online?
2/. Why is hers there and not mine?

They have answered 2/.
2/. Mine has been sold (a solitary seat at the end of a row near a gangway).
1/. They have failed to answer question 1/. completely!

fatandgrumpy · Post by **fatandgrumpy** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 8:32 pm

Got my two tickets in CFS on sat 10 minutes in and both of my ST seats had gone. No biggie got two others a couple of rows back. But did think that the policy of pick a seat, any seat would cause issues as it fills up and families can't necessarily sit together. This could be a problem as at some games this season stewards have not allowed unaccompanied children to walk about without an adult. A rule some stewards police and some not, a bit like taking the tops of drink bottles.

My ticket for the Cricketfield arrived in the post yesterday lunchtime

So what's stopping the remaining 10000 Lincoln fans getting tickets in our end? Can they sign up for a Clarets number and get tickets?

Yes and plenty of away fans have done so far this year.

I would rather the seats were taken than left empty.

Some on here will claim that you require a Clarets Number to be able to purchase a ticket, but I was able to purchase a couple of tickets for friends who don't have a Clarets Number for the game against Bristol City, and wasn't asked to provide any details.

So, if the demand is there, there may well be Lincoln fans in the home stands.

Yes, to some extent I agree with you provided they are genuine fans just there to watch their team and not idiots looking to antagonise the home fans should the chance arise.

In that scenario it would increase revenue and as they will be keeping quiet it will appear as though more people have turned up to support us

AGENT_CLARET · Post by **AGENT_CLARET** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 1:45 pm

Tickets went on sale today at 10am in Lincoln and just aabout an hr ago they reported around 200 have been snapped up............not the 7000 rushing for tickets like they wanted then

They also said on the lincolnshirelive website hundreds-queue-for-lincoln-city-v-burnley-fa-cup-tickets and then posted this pic to go with the story........doesn't look like hundreds to me, looks more like 10 lol

2 Bee Holed · Post by **2 Bee Holed** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 2:06 pm

I also hope that each of them hand over £20, seeing as £10 isn't enough.
That way Lincoln will get an extra £33000 straight into their coffers.

I wonder how many will do that?

vinrogue · Post by **vinrogue** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 2:17 pm

I think the police will stop any away fans entering our areas of the ground.

dushanbe · Post by **dushanbe** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 2:22 pm

Based on the overwhelming demand demonstrated by that queue, they must all be buying tickets in home stands.

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 2:41 pm

Why queue up when you can purchase from the comfort of your own home via your newly acquired Clarets number!

They meant combined years of age!

Even if they do sell them all, a few renditions of
"Couldn't sell all your tickets" and "Is that all you take away" should cheer them up..

Hillimp · Post by **Hillimp** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 5:22 pm

Having watched this forum for a week or so it may be appropriate to look at a definition of arrogance:

Arrogance definition, offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride.

The Clarets fans who have posted on the Lincoln forum (90 posts from 4 posters alone) have certainly tried to explain the 15% rule even though we knew it already and have explained all the reasons we should not expect any more tickets. We are disappointed but resigned to that and have accepted being lectured on our own forum quite stoically.

As for the above posts, the tickets have been rationed to one per season ticket holder and can be bought on the phone. There are then ticket book sales and the general public can not get any until next Thursday and only if there are any left at that point. When 5000 tickets were available for Ipswich the queue stretched around the ground and some queued for 7-8 hours. I would contend that we are not a Horrible little club with horrible fans (Claret Tony) and in evidence we have gone through 5 rounds of the FA cup against teams from 4 leagues of English football without a single reported issue of crowd trouble. There are very few Lincoln fans who have been to Turf Moor and we are looking forward to visiting a new ground and town. Arrogance?? not from us.
