kpturner Posted 8 April, 2012 Share Posted 8 April, 2012 Has anyone received theirs by post yet? I bought Middlesbrough tickets and Peterborough tickets online the same time. Middlesbrough tickets arrived last week but no sign of Peterborough tickets! Normally I wouldn't be concerned but recent ticket office cock-ups have shattered my confidence.

marc_saint Posted 8 April, 2012 Share Posted 8 April, 2012 I went to buy tickets yesterday to be told they are only on sale to season ticket holders until tomorrow. With a terrace that can take upto 4500 why do we have to keep the timelines so tight!? So General sale tomorrow. Could be the night we get promoted!

marc_saint Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 The initial allocation is 1000 odd tickets. But the terrace holds nearly 4000 so there'll be enough to go round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlesbrough tickets arrived last week but no sign of Peterborough tickets! Normally I wouldn't be concerned but recent ticket office cock-ups have shattered my confidence. I'd give them a bell. Every time I've ordered tickets for more than one game on-line, they've mucked up. Ordered West Ham and Millwall away tickets and they sent out more West Ham tickets than I actually ordered and no Millwall ticket. Ordered some Skate tickets for a mate and got my Blackpool away ticket at the same time and the Blackpool ticket was nowhere to be seen. Ordered P'Boro and Boro tickets at the same time and got my old man to collect them to save any more balls ups from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adethorne Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 Spoke to our ticket office, looks like they are trying to sell seats before they release more terrace.

mikee Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 They'll get more terrace tickets. They only had an initial 1000.

Worth a try. Most stewards on the turnstiles barely look at the tickets, worse they can do is say no and direct you to your proper entrance.

This Charming Man Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 Stupid behaviour. Don't do this. Why? The true capacity of that terrace would've been cut by a few hundred odd to allow for people jibbing in, duplicates etc. So fear not, 10/20 odd people getting on there who shouldn't be on there isn't going to cause the next Hillsborough.

Ring up the ticket office and give them a bollocking for supplying you with false information. Ring the information line as that'll take you through to the stadium ticket office.

I spoke to p'boro ticket office and they confirmed we have whole terrace which has a capacity of over 3500 and they have more seats available should saints require them. What are our ticket office playing at??????????? This stacks up. West Ham had around 5,000 tickets for their recent midweek visit. A lot of clubs sell away tickets in blocks and the buying club has to commit to buying the block in totallity up front, I suspect this is why Saints are selling the first terrace and seat batches in the way they have. I agree Saints should have been more transparent about this. If I am right its also cheeky of Peterborough to sell in commited blocks as its really only a valid policy for clubs that could otherwise sell the tickets to home fans - and they are rarely if ever at capacity.

I did exactly the same online but I selected to pick up at the ticket office (will do b4 Reading game). If they do get more terrace tickets it shouldnt be a problem swapping them if obviously they have yet to send them to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 When Nigel heaps loads of praise on the away fans for their support, I wonder if he realises the number of obstacles put in their way to even get a ticket in the first place.

Torres Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 The only game that has been all ticket London Rd this season was West Ham - all other games it's been possible to pay on the gate for away fans. I don't think Posh bother with the allocating tickets in blocks on sale/return malarky as I don't think the away allocations are variable. Everyone gets the few hundred seats in the main stand and the whole Moyes End. Given their own attendances are so low (relative to everyoe else in the league, expect maybe Pompey!) big away followings are important finanically.
