mel1961red Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Just waited 45 mins in a queue online onlyl to be told that as I am in block 42 Northern I can only buy by Cup Tickets next Tuesday, this after calling the ticket office yesterday as I knew this and asked if I could just buy three tickets in the Northern Stand that were non season ticket holders seats to which I was told yes you will be given that option. Just called ticket office again to be told thats not the case, all I want to do is buy three non season ticket holders seats in the Northern surley thats not rocket science, I have had nothing but trouble since this new system went live and have queued behind several people having rows at the ticket office when collecting because the tickets they have ordered have not been sent to correct address etc,or sent out when collection requested, the other stupid thing is that if you have people linked to your online account they cannot guarantee which address the tickets will be sent to , this caused me a great problem when my friend ordered tickets for us for Man City away on her number and the tickets got sent to my addresss and I was away at the time coming back to go straight to Manchester She ended up having to break in to my house to see if the tickets had been sent as the ticket office could not tell her which address the tickets had been sent to its a joke there now and the website is a Shambles and very messy !!!!

Nexstar Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 1. I thought it was pretty clear in the written article on the OS? 2. How do you not know the stand name of where you have a season ticket?! 3. Use more full-stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldbarbarian Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 I am a season ticket holder but want additional tickets therefore will have to wait till next Wednesday, I thought that was made clear by the OS. It wont sell out so there is no panic!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingwing Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 4. Shenanegans. 5. Just follow the rules they have put out. You will get tickets because there is enough space in the rest of the ground to move block 42... 6. Ticket office for me have always sent out tickets bought for other accounts to who ever has paid. I am amazed other people have had problems with this set up, seems to be an internet myth that the ticket office do these things to customers under its own accord.

"Those Season Ticket Holders located in Blocks 41 and 42 of the Northam Stand who are displaced from their usual seat will have an opportunity to purchase an alternative seat at the discounted price on Tuesday 18th December, before General Sale commences." Not exactly difficult to understand why they didn't sell you one then. Oh and if you've sat there for 12 years, maybe it's about time you learnt how to spell it.

It says clearly on the OS that Blocks 42 and 41 will have to move and won't be able to buy tickets until that date. It is a million times clearer than anything you've written. Everything else, yes, the ticket office procedures are frequently useless and inconvenient.

The9 Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 (edited) Can you please show me the part where it "clearly" says people in Block 43 will have to move...? No, because I meant 41 as there aren't any ST holders in 43 ! My ST is in 41 so my brain did an incorrect calculation which said "I know I don't have to move so it must be the other side of block 42" - but that isn't the case for some of the people immediately to my left, so it is indeed 41 and 42, original edited for clarity now. Not going anyway I don't think. Edited 11 December, 2012 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
