Lincoln allocation and prices

[Bin Ont Turf]

We know where to portion some of the blame if we lose a match.

[lucs86]

I'm just glad we're putting our own fans (including CFS season ticket holders) before Lincoln's. Nothing wrong with that.

[boyyanno]

I can't understand the problem at all, nothing to do with a "big club mentality" shows we're taking it seriously, we wouldn't give a premier league team more than the minimum, and why should we? We're best at home because the supporters can be the twelfth man, why would we lessen that in favour of opponents.

[FulledgeClaret]

With how some are going on we should be giving them half the ground they could fill it seemingly, yet its not their cup final.

why did somebody have to bring up Wimbledon, we are far stronger than them but so were Brighton. make no mistake Lincoln will come well prepared and fully confident they can get something if we make changes and throw another Stanley Lincoln are capable of turning us over. We will play a strong side and if we get a couple early could make them glad they didn't get a ticket
could as easily be 7-1 as 1-1.

I am a ST holder in the CFS and am just wondering how the allocation would work should all tickets be sold in the next couple of days.Work commitments make it difficult to get to Burnley and enough posters have put me off using the ticket line.With no online sales yet I would struggle to buy any.I am okay with taking my son elsewhere in the ground for a change but just unsure when I could buy unreserved seats.Will I have to wait till Friday when they are on general sale or is it Tuesday when 'all remaining ST holders' can purchase tickets?If so is this likely to be online?

[Barry_Chuckle]

CF not going to be sold online, I'm in the same boat AL but now decided to wait until Friday and sort our tickets then.

[IAmAClaret]

If you ring, you get put through very quickly, and it's all quick. Not happy about the booking fee, but that's life.

[BigAlClaret]

Sorry Barry I meant does anyone know if we can buy tickets anywhere else in the ground before Friday because we're ST holders or will we have missed the boat ?

[Goody1975]

So some Lincoln fans aren't happy we've set the prices so low as their club won't make as much money out of it, these will be the same fans that complain the 'working class fan' has been priced out of football.

[dushanbe]

They are an odd bunch, one even complaining that we aren't charging enough. Another fan rightly pointed out that if he felt that strongly about it, he should buy his ticket for a tenner and donate another tenner straight to the club.

[ontario claret]

I don't really blame the younger members of this board not knowing who Lincoln City were. But they were a long-standing member of the League. Much more established club than Sutton United.

You are missing my point, which is my fault I was being sarcastic!
I am making the point that Lincoln fans won't know my login details,
so why can't I buy a ticket online like all other Burnley fans who sit in different stands?
Why do I have to pay a booking fee and for a phone call?

Like other ST holders in the CFS are working out on this thread, if they want to take
another child/person (even if they are on our family and friends list),
we are going to have to wait until they go on general sale. This also assumes
there will be some decent seats left.

[JohnMac]

Good luck to the genuine Lincoln fans who will get a ticket.
I have been browsing their message board and there is an element that believe we owe them the world and are gutted to draw Burnley away.
We won't fill our ground and they could have brought another few thousand according to them.
Well whoopy do, after their cup run comes to an end most will revert to wearing their Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs shirts and (Leeds) will go nowhere near Sincil Bank again.

Trust me, it's true, I have just spent 22 years living in South Lincs and I'm sure davethevicar will agree.

Because there's limited seats for home fans in the CFS and therefore every ST holder unfortunately won't be able to have their own seat, as it's 1st come 1st served. The online system would recognise your seat from your number but that seat could have already been sold.

[timshorts]

I never even knew Lincoln had a football team until Monday evening.

You must be quite young. If you were old enough to remember that day when we could have gone down to the conference and survived, who was the team that we sent down instead?????????????????

1-0

And we are now being grossly unfair to them, I think. After all because they are such a big club, when they play away at Boston United in the conference they get given the home terrace. We should have switched the game to somewhere near them, say Nottingham Forest, and given them all except the away corner.

I'm beginning to like Forest Green Rovers. That's hard to type for a Merthyr Town part-owner.

The draw of the cup lives on.

Anyhow; yes I get what you are saying, however, surely the computer
recognises I have a ST in the CFS and could therefore just give me the next
available ticket, ok not my own seat, but the next one available.
Just like I would get if I rang up. I thought computers could be programmed?

[arise_sir_charge]

The reason for no online sales will simply be that they will have a pile of tickets and it's easier to allocate them on a first come first served basis to folk in a queue or folk ringing a phone number.

Online sales would slightly complicate this as they are instant and many transactions can happen in the same second.

We are talking about 800 tickets.
Funnily enough though, all of a sudden, the system will be able to cope when many thousands of tickets
in 3 other stands go on General Sale on Fri 10th Feb.

Exactly. It's a fairly trivial feature that is clearly not in our system (due to its poor design). I mentioned this, but my post got deleted.
