I was logged in on my work PC from 9 and when it went to the queue I was number 9998 or something I logged in on my phone also but at 9:45 and was number 6624 when it opened at 10am I know, I just wanted to know what number he got so we can get a sense of which number gives you a chance of getting a ticket.

Must be, the whole thing was obviously neglected/gutted by Mike Ashley. The website experience for buying tickets is archaic. At Man City you just get a QR code on your phone to scan at the turnstile. Edited July 12, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bill for printing a sending out paper tickets much be massive. It would be much better to just have it on your phone, with an option of having a paper ticket, potentially with a small P&P cost?

We used to have print at home tickets, then I would just screenshot the barcode and put my phone in the reader at the gate.

ponsaelius Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Not quite the same is it. I'd be fine with any e-ticket system as long as they allowed me to buy souvenir stubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer to be in the Gallowgate mind. Have to say I’m not looking forward to this kind of stress 18 more times this season.

ponsaelius Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I have hundreds of stubs from hundreds of games all over the world. It's probably the only thing I actually collect. They will go eventually as will physical matchday programmes, and I'll whinge but get over it. I get that it's a minor gripe overall but it does feel like the traditional rituals of football being gradually lost. I think there's another issue with limiting tickets entirely to digital in that it is quite exclusionary for those who don't have a smartphone. The same is probably true of the fact season tickets and tickets at the moment are being sold entirely online. There are a lot of people out there who wouldn't have the first clue where to start in going about getting a ticket through such a system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might help us understand what chance we have in future. I signed in at about 9:55, and was 12,669. When I signed back in later (after reaching booking stage but being unsuccessful) the number had gone up above 20,000. Though latter would include others doing the same.

BoSelecta Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 A mate got 500th and an error message when it ticked to his turn. He re-queued and when he eventually got on it was like Wack-a-mole with seats popping up as available for a split second but being taken by someone else logged in. Not sure if he gave up or they sold out but he didn’t manage to get one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I'm sure when I regularly used to buy match tickets about 20 years ago individually, the price was around £27. £35 20 years later doesn't seem much of an increase at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the point you are making but fantastic is a bit OTT as all EPL tickets should be available for £20 entry level. The money in the game is obscene and needs to be paid out on basis of £20 per head upwards for certain packages. The players, managers, agents etc will all survive comfortably. Remember prices 20 years were too high then. I paid £3 in 1983 iirc if anyone wants to do the inflation maths? 🙂 When you read FDJ is deferred some of his wages after being at Barcelona for 1…2 seasons? And he’s owed £17m already. Decent player etc etc but it’s ridiculous. Haaland’s dad creaming around £30m or possibly £60m since Riola died before deal done. Also I hate when it’s compare to how much for example Coldplay or Theatre etc charge etc. As much as I really like them or enjoy a good show I don’t go to see Coldplay 25-30 times a year 🙂 Mind you my dad used to say there’s some games you wouldn’t pay a £1 for and some you’d pay a £100 for so I dare say the law of averages of a great game has increased of late so maybe you’ll be proven right 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infatuation Junkie Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I believe the club can make enough money through other channels and allow a full stadium at a much lower rate. I am sure dropping tickets to level 7 area range would be a fantastic gesture. But I can only dream. I would still sit in level 7.

It will be exactly the opposite I think Maybe it will wait until extension/new stadium, but I can see there being expanded corporate areas with price increases.

gdm Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 It cost £18 to go see a Scottish 1st division game. I’d say £27-£35 for a premier League game isn’t too bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much is available for that which would inspire you or give you so much enjoyment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spunked £20m on Almiron. You could let people in for free for the money we wasted there. I'd rather have lower prices and a happy crowd, with added goodwill from the fans, rather than a little bit more money for transfers/wages. TV money is where most of the income is at anyway.
