Ally Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 My Dad just phoned up the box office trying to get one season ticket, anywhere in the ground. Wasn't fussy at all. Was told there has been a 'recent upsurge in demand' and there isn't any spare season tickets anywhere The waiting list returns! Would have never happened last season, weren't they still selling part-season tickets at Christmas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Seen it coming BUT get him to ring back and try to speak to another person at the box office, he may very well get told something totaly different, its pure pot luck when you ring that place..

Got to agree with Skirge on that, my mate rang and got told the same. But got in the car and drove to St James Park and got one no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 DavB93 is right. Turning up is your best bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I can not believe this, especially at such an early stage. If you miss your deadline the club usually give you another chance. An awful lot of people who told me that they wouldn't renew must have changed their mind. For those who are better off, seats must be still available in the Sports Bar etc. I must admit there have not been any adverts on local radio trying to flog tickets............

Guest Gemmill Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Load of bollocks. They just haven't sorted out all the people wanting to move seats etc. Plus the deadline hasn't really passed as people can still just apply late. If you're wanting a new ticket you'll be waiting a while, but no fucking way have they sold out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I agree. The club can't know at this stage what tickets will become available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul Macca Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I am sure Mr Ashleys trouble shooter would be interested to hear about the negative attitude of most of the ticket office staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have never happened last season, weren't they still selling part-season tickets at Christmas? I've got an application you can send in - put in a letter saying you've been serving in the Gulf (Don't say your dad's a waiter in a Dubai brothel though) and you missed the deadline on the Queens service Worth a try if you want.

Guest Gemmill Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'm not surprised they're miserable, when they've got twats like Skirge ringing up less than a week after the deadline to ask if his application has been processed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I rang them last season asking if tickets for Blackburn away had been sent out. got told "Urrghhhh, yeah, they have". "Well, why havn't I received mine? You've debited my account", says I. (This was on the Monday before the game [saturday] ). "Urgh, dunno mate." Phone down. Rang up again, got through to someone with a bit of intelligence, probably Jan, and it turns out my mate forgot to sign the application form and that if he went through and signed it, we'd get the tickets. He did, and we went. Pointless story, but highlights the farce that is the NUFC Box Office. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was'nt a daft time to ring as it was sorted, but I rang becuase they are new forms for the carers packages and did'nt make sense on how it had to be filled out, but wor lass had done it right and my season ticket/swipecard is now sorted..
