Just go into site usual way is fine logged on. However you should be checking your a/c and make sure club has email address for ticket purchase confirmation. Maybe they are finding it’s way into your Junk folder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you know you're eligible based on the criteria they've published? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hovagod Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 “Ticket sales have been split into separate priority periods based on eligibility criteria automatically contained within your club ticketing account for this match.“ Glad they finally cleared that up.

But to be honest when people were receiving the email on Friday and I didn't have mine, I worried. Not really a big deal, just saying that I'd rather have an email confirming it.

Collage Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 For me personally it’s great and fitting that we’ll play the first final in 24 years, that will hopefully be the start of a long and successful era, against Man U. It’s the team i dislike the most and that rivalry is still there in the back of my mind, I became a Newcastle fan during those Keegan years with the ”luv it”, the 2nd places and the 5-0. Yes, it’s ”only” the League Cup but a win here would cast out some of the demons. Of course, it also means that a loss would be fucking rough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I assumed the P6 wouldn’t really happen, it would be sold out by then. But maybe there’ll be a few left? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I wonder if it’s the luck of the draw each pot or if they are doing it this way so they can look further into your purchase history. EG The club is down to the last ticket and has two P6 fans for that one ticket. Names in a hat or sly look to see if one joined at takeover stage or if one has been a previous ST holder etc. Same for other pots P5&6 as you’d imagine it’s these 3 periods that will be the oversubscribed ones.

I don’t think we do know, but I’ve seen numerous people claim they’ve spoke to the box office and been led to believe this. And as I’ve said before, p6 and p7 would seem utterly pointless unless they’re holding some back, however small that amount is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filflop1 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 booked a few hospitality tickets for work a few times this season contacted them and they confirmed there are tickets held for every category just like the general sale for match day tickets if you are successful in the ballot you get one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see people in p4/p5 being pissed off if they miss out and there’s a few in p6/p7 get some like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the way P4&5 have to look at it is the criteria could’ve been slightly different and all the tickets could’ve easily gone to P1-3. There’s always going to be an argument either way. For example I think P6 should possibly be ahead of P5 or classed as a joint pot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovagod Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Yeah, except it’s completely unfair that somebody without a season ticket who attended one cup game gets a ticket ahead of a season ticket holder who went to two. The only excuse for a system that ends up in that happening is laziness, frankly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only excuse for a system that ends up in that happening is laziness, frankly. Yeah, it is difficult to counter that argument. Suppose the only possible way of looking at it favourably (and not saying I agree) is that they’re endeavouring to give a (presumably) very small chance to those outside of a cohort which, at least in recent times, they don’t have any chance of getting into, as ST and Memberships have sold out 🤷🏽♂️ (perhaps they’ve been listening to @AyeDubbleYoo😜) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
