Can't get mine until 4000 points, what chance have I got ??

If they don't all go today I can't see there being many left.

Really want to get two tickets for this game, hoping they last until tomorrow sales. It’s one of the only places where we can sing the “sh!thole” song to the home fans

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 9:32 am

Still no prices confirmed by the club less than half an hour before they go on sale

Youre not surprised though...!

Ticketing is a shambles.

My old man has popped down to the ticket office and there's five or six people queuing the old fashioned way including himself

I even thought of doing that myself given the issues with the online system at times

The game isnt even showing on the ticket page now!

Probably the sensible thing to do. Not on sale online yet.

10 sorted

Yep, no sign of it.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:04 am

Ordered - been given seat numbers but it said unreserved

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:04 am

seat row is UR - unreserved

Edit - can see row is actually row 12, but will still be sit anywhere. Carnage.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:05 am

Phew, tickets secured. Looking forward to this one.

RickyBobby · Post by **RickyBobby** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:07 am

Got mine now! Gives a seat number even though it says unreserved?

bfcfan1882 · Post by **bfcfan1882** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:10 am

Tickets sorted. Unreserved seating - that's not going to have any issues on the day!

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:11 am

Will be stand anywhere!

Anyone struggling to buy tickets, keeps saying not enough available for me?

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:16 am

Just got to front of queue in ticket office and been told sold out.

bfcfan1882 · Post by **bfcfan1882** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:17 am

"There are not enough tickets available for what you requested. Please change the quantity and try again."

Cheshireclaret · Post by **Cheshireclaret** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:18 am

It has sold out. Unbelievable, looking forward to telling my 12-year old son he can't go now when he gets home from school. Fantastic.

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:20 am

Blimey, expected them to go quick but not that quick.

pjmullen · Post by **pjmullen** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:22 am

Don't think its sold out, you have to write in zeroes for all the ticket types you don't want...

Well it says "Sold out" on the ticketing page!

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:24 am

I thought this would sell out today, but that is faster than I had expected. It's a really low capacity for us though so it's not totally surprising.

pjmullen · Post by **pjmullen** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:25 am

I can see it's sold out now but you had to type in zeroes for some reason or it showed ""There are not enough tickets available for what you requested. Please change the quantity and try again." originally

Chuckypad · Post by **Chuckypad** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:27 am

Was in the ticket office for 9.55am, they were already selling them (Didn't think they went on sale until 10am)

Sold out by 10.10am - just a couple more in front of me in the queue but we missed out!

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:29 am

I've got 6000 points. Went on at 10.03 and they weren't on sale. Tried again at 10.14 and sold out. Crikey! Extremely disappointed!

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:31 am

Seems 6,000 points wasnt high enough - who would have guessed that eh.....

I was refreshing the page from 10 onwards and managed to get 2 at 10:05 ; feel like this is going to become the new normal for big away games.
Will they increase the boundary from 6000 soon?

Got our tickets, be nice now if they put a train on at a decent price.

A return flight might work out cheaper the way Avanti price things

LlandennyClaret · Post by **LlandennyClaret** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:41 am

Was logged in as soon as the website updated and no tickets available from the off. I wonder how many tickets were actually available today after holding back a number for various groups.....

The allocation was seemingly just over 1,000. The official club site said..."agreed allocation 900"...

Increasing the loyalty points required for this game might have avoided regular away travellers from being disappointed?

How dare you suggest the loyalty system should be used properly! Wash your mouth out

Be interesting to know how many people have 6000+ points as I bet its a good few thousand now as it hasn't been increased in years!

If they raise it to 8k it'll take the ones just under 6k around 4 year's to catch up, then it'll be moved again, something other than keep upping the points total needs doing because more than half of those that'll be at Luton won't personally have 6k points

Demand high supply low for this game, they could have flexed it. Surely that is part of a functioning loyalty point system.

Normally I'd have done exactly the same, but I wasn't in a position to do it and missed about 7 or 8 minutes and that's all it (bloody!) took!!! Gutted as I've never failed before.

The club may well be thinking do we need to change something that for 99% of the time works fine.

Almost every game reaches general sale, with the odd exception. Those who get tickets currently that shouldn't will still get them. Ideally if possible the club would enforce that the person buying the ticket is the one using it.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:57 am

It's obvious it should have been upped to 8 thousand points for this one. I said the same last week so it's not just sour grapes because I've missed out.

surely its an easy tweak to up it for 1 game though.

They need to scrap the points system and have a loyalty system, they should go back over a set few sessons and reward the loyalty fans that have a history of buying away tickets, if this come in I'd miss out even more because of work I've not been to that many over the past 4 season's probably only about 25%, the ones who have been to more should be first in line to be able to buy them, also there should be a way of not passing them on like for example a grandad buying little 14 year old Johnny one from his 6k points

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 11:01 am

I think this is an isolated case due to the fact its only 900 tickets, at a ground we haven't played at in donkeys and in a season where it's a delight to watch the team.

I agree, but the club dont care, probably because it rarely matters.

They have messed up though for this game, but again its because they dont care.
