I'd hazard a guess the club have massively underestimated the demand. I wasn't going anyway but there will be regular matchgoers who miss out because people are greedy and take them for people who haven't been since the Bovis days.

At the end of the day though we are a ticket office, we have to sell tickets. We can’t sell to customers based on how long they’ve supported the club for or how many games they have or haven’t been to this season It’s swings and roundabouts. If you wanted a ticket that bad then make sure you’re first to the ticket office or first to buy online.

Then you call him out or prove him wrong and he moves the goalposts and tries arguing that he meant something else. Used to be amusing. Boring now as it's expected constantly.

Should be 2 per person maximum, no exceptions. Anyone whose wanted one has had plenty of opportunities eyresy, give it a rest ffs your probably not even going.

It would be good if we had a city style points system or something, but end of the day we aren’t big enough of a club or pull in a big enough crowd week in week out, nor feature in big enough games to warrant doing something like this just for the sake of the odd FA cup run Hopefully we will get more tickets from donny, then we can go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there’s plenty of ways for people to purchase? We made the game available online to make life easier for fans (certainly doesn’t make life easier for us) as opposed to making fans queue up (like in the past for Liverpool x3 and Everton x2), where it would have been a lot easier for us to make fans queue up, but harder for fans who have to queue up in this freezing cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another fan Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Reminds me of a situation many years ago when I needed to buy a product but the supplier would not let me buy because if he did he would have sold out. FFS I you have a product to sell if there is a demand. We are now getting the best service from the ticket than we have ever had.

I didn’t say it would be hard, I said it would be unfair on those who couldn’t attend the forest green game but have attended all games this season. Please read my points properly otherwise I might as well be talking to a brick wall weve looked after all regular by making the tickets available online and putting on 4 per customer. Which again, like I’ve said to you multiple times, and the point you consistently keep dodging - allows families of four to sit together Edited January 21, 2019 by OAFCBilly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
