bobbydazzla Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Resale - 100 % success rate, had about a million billion tickets for me and others that need help Ballot - applied for most games on more than 1 membership, think I’ve won about 1/3rd. Most have been given to other people as I’ve got a better seat in resale I’ve been to every game this season, apart from Bournemouth (family doo) and Man U (was at a rave in North Shields) I think the system is fucking shit, but reading the above, looks like the shit system is working for me Edited April 19 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrone Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Ballot - roughly 1 in 3, as advertised. Resale - 100% If it's the same system next season I'll drop the ballot and just wait for resale ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Think I’m about 40%. It is what it is. I could complain but whatever they do it’s never going to appease all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infatuation Junkie Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 This is the issue. i can get to go to 100% of the games. But i cant take my fucking son using resale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I think I applied for 17 or 18 including joint applications when I wasn't lead member. I think it's 5 or 6 successful ballot tickets, but it's impossible to tell for certain how many I got even with forensic examination of that piece of shite box office system. Managed to get 14 tickets on my membership through a combo of ballot success, forwarded tickets, and resale success. Also attended a few more using someone elses ticket. Can't stand the process.

SUPERTOON Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Did people prefer the queuing system that was previously in place ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it through a wider lense, I appreciate it was shite for a lot of people. Either way, the implementation of the ballot system has been a shit show and could've been handled way, way better. I'd be amazed if anyone has anything positive to say about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) 16 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: Did people prefer the queuing system that was previously in place ? Yes, I went to every game easily But that wasn’t a real queuing system, because it was so easy to game it and get multiple queue positions. I was at the point of having 100+ windows open with a different queue position on each. A real queue with one position per person would probably have been just as bad as the ballot.

For me it was flawed but a billion times better than what we have now Log on at 10am, choose where you want to sit, out by 10.30 at very latest Low hassle, short time required, no unwanted seats Edited April 20 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Curious of the members who have had the most success, from when each ballot opens when do you apply...... immediately/ within the first 48hrs/ Or days after, I'm just wondering with how random it is, if it actually makes a difference.

Holloway Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 3 out of 9 for the ballot, 2 in the resale. Similar result from the previous system, but that was on my phone at work, which was about equal stress level to the resale palaver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last system was ‘better’ because you could cheat it. And in saying that, it’s not a slight on anyone that did (I did it myself). But clearly, it didn’t work as it was supposed to.
