On a cold and wet February has got me thinking about warmer places I could be.
What summer holiday plans has everyone got.

Just not having to switch on the heating would be a good start

The Portugese Camino de Santiago, in May. Only from the Portugese border but if Mrs Minnie enjoys it might try a longer stretch of the French route in future.

Off to Florida for a month late April. Marbella for 8 days in July and 15 nights in Vilamoura in September.

I posted this topic to see if it got deleted.
I tried to post a thread earlier this morning about the delay in the change of the ticket office number from the current premium rate to at least a normal rate number.
I tried to post it twice and although it appeared for a couple of minutes it then disappeared !!
Obviously a controversial subject !!

Various (sunny?) days at The Oval, Ageas Bowl, Lords etc. Packed lunch, sun-cream, cap & binocs + a few ales.

I won't bother telling you where I'm going then as you're not really interested

Hummm a weekend in Burnley in May then a week in Italy in June and to finish it off two weeks in California but four of them in La Vegas in August .

See previous thread now locked. Particularly, CT's last post in it stating that it's not as simple as you seemed to think it was! No need to start any more.

titsoutforthelads · Post by **titsoutforthelads** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 11:21 am

But why lock it ?
Nothing abusive in that thread.
Just asked a civil question about why it was taking so long.
The only reason I can think of is that ticket zone will not alter it till the contract expires.

leedsdave · Post by **leedsdave** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 11:38 am

Removed double part-post

leedsdave · Post by **leedsdave** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 11:42 am

I didn't lock it. I'm not a mod. Since you had contributed to the original thread why did you wish to start another. I think Tony answered your civil question yesterday in the final post in the other thread by basically saying that no-one here knows the answer. Why don't you ask the ticket office? I don't personally think it's anything to do with Ticketzone since the club has similar premium numbers for other areas, not just for tickets. So why not ask them? Try 01282 700000 for the main club reception office!

Vintage Claret · Post by **Vintage Claret** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 12:36 pm

Off to Antigua in 3 weeks to watch the 2 WI v England one day internationals so hopefully the TV cameras will pick up at least one Burnley flag/shirt in the crowd!

paulatky · Post by **paulatky** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 2:22 pm

We are off to our place in Florida.

As regards the ticket office issue I am being too cynical to suggest with prehaps some potential lucrative cup ganes coming up too much of an opportunity to give up the premium rate number just yet.

Have you been before? Excellent place.

Would recommend the helicopter flight over Montserrat.

Will keep an eye out for the shirt....

NewForestClaret · Post by **NewForestClaret** » Tue Feb 07, 2017 4:21 pm

Toftl, try 01282 700010. Direct line to ticket office found on Saynoto0870 web site some time ago. Not tried it for a while but assuming 700000 is still the main number it should still work.

I think both numbers are still valid. The 7000010 number was always the ticket office number before the onset of the premium rate non-geographical number(s) There was an 0870 number before the current 0871 one.

No never been before, HC, looking forward to it.
Will check out the helicopter trip and see if its do-able, never done a helicopter flight before either!

Going back to our 2nd home in Hurghada, Egypt. Booking it on Thursday.

On the 0871 as regards my Season Ticket. Hung up today after being number 1 in the queue for 25 minutes. Will call in next time in Burnley. Was hoping not to have to make a special journey on a day other than a match day.
