Anyone know what time they are supposed to go on sale today? It's usually 9.15am but nothing available online at the minute??

I just called the lotteries office to get a couple of tickets as Foundation Members only to be told that I was lucky as they had all sold out earlier and they just got a few more through! I presume this is some kind of allocation for Foundation members as opposed to the full allocation! I almost fell foul of this earlier in the season - I'm guessing this is a new thing as I've never had this issue in previous seasons!

I guess it depends how many tickets get allocated to Foundation members? Is it about 2,500 allocation for Watford?

Obviously 2,500 is total allocation not just foundation members!!!

I must admit in all the years I have been a member, I hadn't realised that there is a specific allocation for Foundation members! Is it a percentage of the total? Anyone know?

Exactly the same today with me Hants, must be a percentage but didn't ask. Just happy to get the tickets. :D

Yes, there's a small number of tickets for each away game allocated to the Foundation which is available to Foundation Members on a first come first served basis. It's one of the perks of being in the Foundation. Although members aren't guaranteed tickets it does give non-season ticket holders, or those without enough qualifying points, a chance to get away tickets.

Thanks Leisure - never seems to have been an issue in past seasons - I wonder if the allocation has got smaller or membership increased (or both!) - anyway, just need to remember to get my house in order going forward!

In the past I've managed to pay on the gate at Watford so is that not an option this season?

Wouldn't have thought so. There's not many grounds in the Premiership that offer pay on the day (although they did at West Bromwich and you could at Sunderland but maybe that was because it was the cup).

Very unlikely - don't know how many we've got but there is a chance we could sell out.
