Would be ideal if we could sit together. I'd feel incredibly harsh going without him though if he couldn't get a ticket hence why I was willing to drop to pot 4.

Scoot Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) I'll be going there by myself for this. All the people I generally go to the match with aren't season ticket holders. They're either members or I just get mates tickets on a game by game basis on my season tickets. So its the bus there and back on my Todd. Feel like I right Billy no mates.

As you say, the date for being told whether successful or not is the same but the way I understand it is there'll be a ballot for the P4 applicants then should tickets be left afterwards it'll go to a further ballot for P5 and so on.

If you miss out in pot 4 ballot it will be because we've sold out our allocation and there will be no tickets for pot 5. Probably me being pessimistic as I'm in pot 6.

Yup I'll be on my own, where I live I don't even have any mates that support Newcastle so I generally go to the matches on my own.

Would seem like a waste of time creating any categories after 5 if they did that.

Tbh I think you’d be extremely unlucky to get checked, and even if you did, there’s no requirement for ID, so as long as you know the name and address of the person that the ticket relates to, you’ll be sound.

Yeah, just seems like a lot of effort to go to come up with the various criteria, and the subsequent shit that the box office will have had to deal with, with questions, if there wasn’t going to be some sort of structural use to having them.

From what I read about other clubs going to Wembley for finals the security are more arsed about stopping people trying to jump the turnstiles, fake tickets, radgies looking for a scrap etc History would suggest that a well behaved adult on a concession ticket or a ticket not in their name will generally just go straight through the turnstiles Edited February 6, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Still lots of very good seats left. Not sure if those in later periods can already check but not purchase but If anyone wants me to have a pre nose close of play tonight and tomorrow night to give you the lay of the land for bigger groups let me know. Another thing to note was I was approximately 1200 in the queue this morning from 10am and was quoted 48mins wait time yet within a couple of mins it had dropped very quickly and I got in around 10:10am. It’s a very similar system to ours. Select area. Select seats. Basket. Assign warning if more than one seat being purchased. Assign. Purchase. So very familiar.

Yeah no problem. That’s state of play as of a few mins ago. Blocks 238-252 were never on sale so only half a dozen blocks fully booked with the dark shading. Most paying the higher prices it seems.
