Got straight through... she did seem suprised I was phoning for tickets to Carlisle and not P*mpey though. Straight through both times. haha thats why no one can get through. everyone is panic buying the carlisle tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuRomseySaint Posted 4 February, 2010 Share Posted 4 February, 2010 (edited) stu can you get me one ha!!! why are you getting straight through, i bloody well am not!!! Ha, I dunno. It's a slow day at work today so I am going to get through again and record myself having a long conversation about pointless things like the weather and politics to one of the operators, blocking the queue. Then I will simply thank them for their time and hang-up. I will post the audio up when I am done. :-) Edited 4 February, 2010 by StuRomseySaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintSparky Posted 4 February, 2010 Share Posted 4 February, 2010 Just be patient with the phone number, after about an hour of continuous redial I got through; a message asked said 'welcome to the ticket office' and asked me to hold for someone to become free and then rang for a further 8 minutes; 5 minutes later tickets purchased.

Kingsland Red Posted 4 February, 2010 Share Posted 4 February, 2010 Be warned, anyone that has already bought tickets for Leeds, Huddesfield and Walsall, take them along or you'll have to buy them again.

Marsdinho Posted 4 February, 2010 Share Posted 4 February, 2010 Nor the fact that Pompey are owed roughly 50% of the gate receipts after costs. Basically we have all given Pompey £15 to help them! You're a bundle of laughs you are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend has just been down to St Mary's and got his and some friends tickets (all booked against their customer nos) and everything has died down now, and although there are queues not too many people there.

dune Posted 4 February, 2010 Share Posted 4 February, 2010 I rang the 01271 335708 number and after a couple of attempts got straight through. The woman asked where i'd got the number from!

adethorne Posted 4 February, 2010 Share Posted 4 February, 2010 Stupid idea to stop memberships, tbf. Edit - although not as stupid as not ensuring the online booking system was robust enough to stop people buying tickets they weren't entitled to... Totally agree, i'm have membership carried over from before, can't have season ticket because my job means i'm away fairly reguarly. However i've been to many away matches on a cold tuesday night and the not so glamourous home games so i think i'm entitled to my ticket. So I also find it frustrating to hear that people got extra tickets especially when i travelled two hours this morning to get to the ground for 7am, queue for nearly 4 hours to ensure i got my ticket, so yeah plastic fans do take the p!zz a bit. There has to be a fairer way to stop people getting a ticket who haven't even been to a game for a couple of seasons just because they are on database. Still got my now, what do i care. By the way, nice touch by chairman and staff this morning, meant a lot, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonjoe Posted 4 February, 2010 Share Posted 4 February, 2010 I can't for the life of me work out why there are pictures of fans holding handfuls of tickets on the OS. I thought today was database sales, one per customer. Surely they're not letting people go to the ticket office as an individual with an infinite list of customers and just buying as many tickets as they want?
