Nope, doesn’t matter at all, but it’s just an endless run of queuing.Todays issue doesn’t seem to be the clubs website problem though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Got in at 10:17 only for the page to load up joining as a member (already a mags+ member) and then reload the queue screen with 1 hour+ waiting time. shambles as always Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 My screen record if anyone is interested. It sounds like this happened to a few people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 There's 2 queues now it seems, one to just get on to the site and another when you click 'home tickets'. I was able to get onto the site before 10am but clicking on 'Home Tickets' put me onto the auld countdown queue screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tross Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Just got in now and there's plenty of tickets left, seems to be better this time around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we have two shots, but it does mean you spend a lot of time working for your ticket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine for the majority (obv not all) on here, that’s seen as a good thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) For the people who can log on I guess it gives us more chance, but I think it's slightly unfair for the people who can only do the ballot. I didn't read the justification they gave, I know people wanted the general sale period but I don't see any non-selfish reasons that it's better. For me it will make things easier.

Nor for the bairn I don't think I'm not sure how the queuing stuff works. Last season I got a membership in my wife's name and 1 for my daughter Whenever they won the ballot I passed my season ticket on and went with the daughter I presume this queuing lark won't allow me to get 2 tickets at once? So from that point of view the ballot was probably the best chance of getting to go with her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
