JackieDoor Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 The question for future games is do you skip the ballot and risk the resale, at least you can choose not to be back row of level 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to rely on split second timing to be in the race for the basket in the resale, it's pretty stressful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to get two Chelsea tickets last season on public sale when i was at Faro airport, constantly refreshing and i got them just in the nick of time before we boarded, was a happy flight back anyway.

I suppose if they're happy to sit anywhere most will enter the ballot as it gives them an extra chance of getting a ticket. If your physically unable to reach areas of the ground or fussy with the view you'd probably only try the the resale option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 If you’d rather not go than sit in L7, you can skip the ballot. If you want to have a decent chance to go, you can’t possibly skip it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I’ve been on about 7 times over the last few days and only ever seen youth tickets. How were you doing it, refreshing every few seconds for hours? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one in my basket y'day for a mate who was after a ticket, just checked every hour or so during the day and mid afternoon there was a single in the Leazes that popped up.

SuperFlat Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I had a couple of sessions of refreshing repeatedly for an hour or so, with no joy - kept missing out. New options pop in to the list every so often and then it's a mad rush to select the seat (found best available worked better) and get it in your basket. Must be 200-500 people sat doing the same thing. Had pretty much given up but still had the tab open this morning, refreshed once and a LS ticket popped up. It's like buying hyped clothing/footwear from a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Wonder what they'll do with the Youth seats that no kids seem to want to buy There's about 100 tickets that would be snapped up in an instant if converted to Adult Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s more than at times last season. You’d think they would make a call on it this evening to give people older a chance to grab. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broony Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 So is there no public sale for matches anymore? You have to be a member? (I am a member already but thought they had to have some publicly available) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I'm over the Villa scrabble so just thought I'd look to the near future and say I'm delighted to see that we're just over only a couple of weeks from what will be one of the most in demand home matches of the season and no information. It's one thing if they were scrabbling to get things up for the first match but it's a joke if this is the kind of notice people have for the rest of the season.

Ballot the week before the game and resale week of the game looks like a thing. Load of shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I doubt that's the plan, I imagine they're still just playing catch-up. Might even be developing the ballot to allow multiple selections. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
