View From The Top Posted 24 March, 2010 Posted 24 March, 2010 I've officially left the unsmug and joined the smug thread.
Michelle Posted 24 March, 2010 Posted 24 March, 2010 Tickets (tick) Train tickets (tick) Hotel (tick) Available drinking time before match instead of queueing for tickets (tick) A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Substitute train for minibus booking, and all is well. Roll on Saturday afternoon!
SpookyDookySaints Posted 24 March, 2010 Posted 24 March, 2010 Not a happy bunny.....I too as a ST Holder put in a request when sales started (10x tickets)....I have waited until today to receive them BUT nothing! As I was on a late lunch I drove down to SMS to consult the Ticket Office....now to be fair I gave the young lad a tough time(without resorting to language likeley to offend or indeed raising my voice ) and to be honest he was a little "flushed" by the time we finished....!!! The staff are clearly sticking to the duplicate issue on Sunday resolution. Having read this thread, and others, it does appear that the problem lies wholly with the timescales being set by the club. The TO told me that TNT collected on Friday last...in theory sufficient time to deliver. However, I have been told by a "postie" that TNT would be under "contract" to deliver to the Eastleigh Mail Sort Office within 2/3 days hence the clubs site stating allow until Wednesday for delivery. What clearly has not happened is that any allowance being made for "problems". I am reading of a van crash....were batches of tickets destroyed ?(reason for calling customers).....and then tonight that TNT have managed to "mix" ticket batches with "junk mail" causing a delay. They are "apparently" sorting! Who knows what is going on........All that I can tell you is that TO gave me a Sales Reference Number, Block Number and seat numbers allocated to me and that "duplicates" can be collected at Wembley on Sunday (TO West) NO MENTION OF ID ALTHOUGH COMMON SENSE DICTATES THAT........all well and good but that puts the mockers on any enjoyment of the pre match build up......also with the 10 ticket holders four different types of travel arrangements have been made to the stadium! The idea of course to meet up inside as everybody will arrive at different times! As far as I can see....the TO are preparing for an almighty backlash from supporters who are affected and this is clearly the lull before the storm! I feel 1000's could be affected. As I type there is the chance of receiving tickets with two more deliveries before Saturday.....a couple of couples within the 10 are up in London for the weekend!.........however I am fully bracing myself for CHAOS come Sunday........good luck all and lets hope things turn out well in the end!
dune Posted 24 March, 2010 Posted 24 March, 2010 When i phoned up the ticket office i was a bit annoyed, but ultimayely you cannot blane those on the phones - they're just done as theyre told. Lessons do need to be learbt from this though.

dune Posted 24 March, 2010 Posted 24 March, 2010 Me too cool, just hope the guys who are still waiting have some good news tomorow because despite the sneering from those withtickeys towards me when i was worried it is big deal cos picking up on the day affect peoples plans for big big day plus anyone whp ended up in this boat would worry about something going wroing.
