Sima Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Speaking for myself, it's no great science outside of constantly refreshing in 15-30 minute windows and being lightning quick. You've got very little hope of getting two seats together in my experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think browser type has any bearing, you've just got to be quick at spotting a seat and getting that seat into your basket within a second or two. Any longer than that and it will usually vanish Success is down to persistence, a sprinkle of luck and having a proper rapid trigger finger.

I find it takes time to refresh screen click on the drop down click on apply click on the seat (when eventually you spot it!) click on buy at that stage it’s normally gone.

I use the drop down to be successful the entire process you describe usually needs to be done in under 5 seconds Persistence will show you some seats but it’s reaction speeds that gets them in the basket From this….

Ive only managed 3 resales this season and two were on match day. It has been covered by others but checking periodically in short quick bursts. As when one pops up you need to secure it quick. Gets easier the closer you get to KO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Probably not the right thread but can't find a ticketing one (if there is one). Does anyone here go to the match on a senior ticket? If so does the scanner light up a different colour? I'm renewing the family season tickets and my mum is now a senior. We can't change her name due to the seat bond, and I have two mates who share her ticket. Will I have to transfer every week or does it just scan green when you go in? p.s I want to pay adult price but I can't unless the box office let me change the DOB....

If not that’s potentially a problem, as although you can transfer to an adult for any game, if you do it every week it’ll probably flag something up and they’ll eventually ask questions.

She will now and then but not every game. I can only transfer 10 games so will have to find a solution to the problem if the light is a different colour for seniors. Though when I've scanned after some old folk this season their ST just showed green so I'm not sure. I'll ask the old bloke next to me at the Brighton game and go from there.

To be honest you could probably get away without transferring most weeks, it’s just a risk. Also that 10 transfers rule, isn’t actually hard and fast I don’t think. I think if you do more than ten they might contact you to ask what’s going on. If you’re always transferring to the same person it looks much less dodgy than if you’re transferring to a different person every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that is possible (although I’d be incredibly surprised if memberships were capped mind) But essentially all you’re doing is making it easier for some people and more difficult for others. Not that I necessarily think that’s not a good thing, but getting the criteria right around exactly how you do it will be a very delicate balancing act.

Minhosa Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Was in the box office last week and the staff were saying that a NUFC App is in development as well as upgrades throughout their IT infrastructure. They also said that this time last year, with the changeover to digital, there was still a huge demand for their time. It's been relatively painless this year and they're really happy with the way renewals etc have gone. I have to say, it was dead quiet when I was in there.
