2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
Re: 2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
There was definitely an issue for some trying to get tickets. I was online at 5:10pm trying to get a ticket for someone (I’d already got one sorted for myself on Saturday evening) and it was saying sold out. However my friend (who I was on the phone to at the time) was able to add my details to his friends and family and purchase a ticket at exactly the same time. Whilst it remained saying sold out to me however many times I refreshed.
Feel for anyone who has missed out especially due to a technical problem.

As has been continually said the Club refuse to answer any questions for some absolute bizarre reason.
The whole day has become a joke and a shame for those who will miss out.
I bet Darren Bentley is there and doesn't have 5000 points.
The Club have got this so wrong unless they can pull it back in the coming days.

Perhaps Arsenal will help, in exchange for a penalty.

Not taking the full allocation lessens the level of support the players will get and thus lessens our chance of victory too. Very poor from the club

Re: 2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
Last year we've taken only around 1500 there, so that's probably their reason for this ridiculous allocation. Different time of the year, magnificent season, but they still don't care...
I really hope we'll take more tickets.

Re: 2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
As I mentioned earlier my Dad traipsed down to the ticket office this afternoon only to be sold out. Now it seems people have been buying online up to about 6pm. Think he's well within his rights to feel royally ****** off with the club. Yet again all we'll get back is a wall of silence no doubt.

They wanted people to pre register interest to gauge the demand but set the cut off over 3 weeks before the game and with 3 or 4 games before it including other away games before it.
As this isn’t the norm I’m not sure the majority of people knew of it.
Re: 2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
I maybe wrong but I think that was the previous game when we lost 3-0. We took the full allocation of 3000 that game and sold out.BleedingClaret wrote:Yes but last year a similar debacle went on

Re: 2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
Most people on here could correctly state how many would travel to any given game based on years of experience following burnley, yet the club seem unable to estimate demand on a regular basis... Who actually makes the decision how many tickets to request?

I’ll stand corrected if so
Mind you that would have been a good idea this time to gauge the interest, to email everyone on their mailing list.

Maybe if more of us would contact the club, they might take more tickets. I doubt it though..

Re: 2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
I sympathise. It's been the other way around before where they were still selling over the counter but online had sold out. Of course, joining the 21st century and only selling online would let everyone know where they stood assuming the software works properly(which it doesn't) and they didn't decide to feed the tickets into the system 100 at a time (which they seem to). You can't rock up to Ticketmaster and buy for cash over the counter; the club has taken on board all the other changes in dealing with its "customer base" - not sure why this one which would simplify things hasn't happened.jrgbfc wrote:As I mentioned earlier my Dad traipsed down to the ticket office this afternoon only to be sold out.

Re: 2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
The most infuriating thing with the ticketing is the complete refusal to ever hold their hands up or come out and explain anything. There seems to be a real condescending attitude that the fans are stupid and the club are always right, when they so clearly aren't. It just seems to be cock up after cock up with nothing changing or anyone being held accountable.

And I probably remember further back than you do!
But what winds me up more than anything, especially in these days of so many social media outlets, is the complete lack of communication from the Club.
No matter how many meetings the supporters clubs and liaison groups seem to have with the Club the information on ticketing moves nowhere.
I can speak to Arsenal and find out more information than I can from my own Club.
A joke.

People who get tickets everytime are happy to carry on as we are, the ones who miss out often, want it changing.
I never miss out, and in my opinion it's out dated, and needs a revamp. It's the only part of the club that hasn't made major strides forward over the past 2 decades

Although they will never admit it the fact that the club has nil financial interest in away ticket sales is probably the real reason for this very short sighted and infuriating attitude over the years.

Re: 2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
It’s weird how Bentley can comment on the PA system and how the club are dealing (or not) with those complaints big knows nothing about tickets. To be able to communicate with fans, which is a part of his job, you must know this info. Doesn’t know about controversial issues, convenient that.

Re: 2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
Don't think the system really needs changing, it's more the refusal to give out allocations, the not taking enough tickets and the complete lack of information coming out of the club. Such simple things for most clubs but we manage to make a complete mess of it time and time again.

I'm convinced the directors are still scarred from what happened a few years ago with ITV Digital and as a result will never risk wasting even the smallest amount of leftover tickets as it'll be seen as money down the toilet.
One of the biggest games in our recent history and they are worried about a few hundred leftover tickets.
Considering the fact that if we were to finish 6th the extra prize money would pay for any unsold ones it smacks of penny pinching at its finest!

The club need to rethink what they are doing. For now, let's hope they realise the huge demand and do the right thing.

Re: 2017/18: Arsenal v Burnley – Ticket Information
The problem is that regular away supporters....The ones who have been praised all season, are suddenly shut out, in favour of the 5000 club and particularly annoyingly, anyone who can get a 5000 person to get them ticket.
That's why folk are annoyed. A weekend in London for the family, now the weather is better!
I am a shareholder and still missed out, as would most of the Foundation members. That undermines this alleged priority that they get...and they pay all the time, for these instances.
Very poor from the club and they should put it right.
Ps. As I posted earlier, I managed to get mine online at 5.50pm. Probably a fluke.

The away allocations that we’ve taken this season defies logic at times, the upcoming game at Arsenal typifies that... It’s the last away game, best top flight season in 50 years, 5 wins on the bounce (3 away games), battle for 6th and a bank holiday weekend and we take the smallest allocation!
The person making the decisions must not know what’s happening on the pitch, they can’t otherwise they wouldn’t keep making the same mistakes.

Totally understand those who recently have followed lots o& away games......I probably do about 7/8 every year on average.........but had a season ticket since 74, my son since 98......... been Colchester midweek, Torquay, Scarborough etc, as we all did........attend loads of Dinners, POYA dinners etc........
A Liverpool mate said all that happens there is a season ticket holder buys every away game anyway then sells the tickets on.......so they never give up the season ticket and make a fortune anyway........
But I do think Daz Bentley is too comfortable in his role......that’s all I’d say.

I'm in the same boat. I haven't missed out so I'm not moaning. The ticketing liaison group has not released any output (so we can assume it's dead in the water) and was not structured to generate change; in fact the reverse.
It's interesting the voices that are silent on here on this subject or when they join in have only unadulterated support for the current arrangements and the club's execution of it to offer. Quid pro quo.
