NobbySolano Posted September 16, 2025 Share Posted September 16, 2025 When they announced the cancellation of those season tickets they mentioned that they have a couple of other buckets of season ticket holders and never who are under review and suspicion. My guess is that those under suspicion did NOT get the email. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the ballot is totally random isn’t it ? And the club wouldn’t lie about that would they ? And the club wouldn’t change a ticket buying process behind the scenes without telling anyone they were changing the ticket buying process, would they ? And the club don’t black ball people who email them to complain about ballots, so the black balled member enters 50 ballots and the only one they win is Bradford in the cup, would they ? Nothing to see here, move along now ladies and gentlemen, nothing to see here, move along now… Edited September 17, 2025 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted September 17, 2025 Share Posted September 17, 2025 Bit of a she says, he says but my dog walking pal's just told me one of her colleagues from school (not Scottish, not Private 😂) bagged 3 x Barca yesterday via the box office. Apparently part of the bunch taken back. Make of that what you will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrone Posted September 17, 2025 Share Posted September 17, 2025 The email came from [email protected] I have that domain added as priority so nothing goes into spam 🤣 Also, when the whole ballot process was first introduced they had something like "If any tickets are still available after the initial ballot window another ballot will be run and successful members notified" So it appears they've reverted to that and not told anyone 🤷 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted September 17, 2025 Share Posted September 17, 2025 (edited) Have they just reverted to this method due to unprecedented numbers of attempts to get tickets by bots/touts? If so, kinda understandable, but why do it in apparent stealth? Just issue a brief statement to say this is what’s being done and why. Even if people don’t agree with it, they’d at least know where they stand, and you wouldn’t have had loads of people wasting their time in this limbo state.

Exactly Their refusal to communicate is more infuriating than the change in process And as an aside, the reason we have so many bots and touts is because they sell unlimited, unvetted memberships with tickets that can be transferred via email and the chickens have come home to roost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrone Posted September 17, 2025 Share Posted September 17, 2025 (edited) and for the non believers 🤣 this is from the comms sent out when the ballot process was vert first introduced "If you are unsuccessful in the ballot Should supporters be unsuccessful in their selected price category, they will be able to re-enter a ballot should any unallocated tickets remain available. They will also be eligible to purchase any seats put up for re-sale by season ticket holders. Any seats that are put up for re-sale can be viewed and purchased online. They cannot be purchased over the phone or in person. " Edited September 17, 2025 by patrone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted September 17, 2025 Share Posted September 17, 2025 (edited) Spend £200 in the physical club shop and you automatically get access to purchasing a guaranteed ticket. There I've sorted it and brought in hundreds of billions of extra revenue. Remind me what Silverstone does again?

SteV Posted September 19, 2025 Share Posted September 19, 2025 (edited) This is exactly the type of stuff we need from mainstream media. The more it starts becoming a high ticket news issue, the more difficult it is for clubs / the PL / government to not do anything about the ticket reseller sites. https://x.com/danroan/status/1968930197962371578?s=46&t=OQLMckSuatbpqWF13Al4mQ Edited September 19, 2025 by SteV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
