Ticket Ballot

[Gbspurs]

Did everyone else put in for the highest priced ticket? I'm not sure how I'd feel about sitting in the west stand and paying 60 quid to watch Watford!

Normally I would feel the same but for most its one of the last chances of watching a game at the Lane.

 

[RickyVilla]

I put in for the East Stand lower. I see that the decision has been made and that if you are successful it will be on your account by now. Nothing. Oh well looks like I am paying through the nose on Stubhub then.

Got a ticket park lane for the Watford game. First one I've been successful with since Stoke.

May be my last ever game at the lane, so I'm going to flipping enjoy it!

Exactly what I thought.

No news in My Account. Only 50% success rate for this one. Unless an email arrives today then no luck for me either. Not getting my hopes up.

Bugger not heard anything.

Bet the lucky ones are told first on the offchance that some might say no straight away.

So guess out of luck again

I havent heard either but have been given 3 LP for the match so looks like it is a yes!

 

[vicbob]

Not had an email, but have got 3 tickets in the south upper, so emails may be late for some reason

Check your account mate, the ticket will be displayed there if you've been allocated one.

Haven't had an email and can't see a ticket been allocated on my account. Such a bull shit system.

Exactly. I've just learnt to check my account at around 6pm the day it's due to be "announced" and then weep uncontrollably if nothing's showing up.

I got a ticket but the system is flawed.
It asks what your max price is by stand.
I'd pay £45 for the east Lower is that's all there is, but I'd prefer the south lower. But by saying I'd pay up to £45 for the east thats the only stand I'll get in.
It should he any stand that has tickets under your maximum budget. Surely?

I don't think that is actually the case, as having failed miserably only asking for the South upper or lower for the last few ballots, I increased the field to include East stand, but got 3 tickets in South upper, but not a fan of the system at all, the previous one was flawed, but at least it rewarded those that put the time in and gave you some choice of where you got a ticket. Oh well only a few more games to go..........

Having said all that, I would have rather had the East Lower, than south upper, but at least we finally manged to get a ticket somewhere

It is any stand under and including what you select as your maximum, but they run the ballot for the most expensive areas first and so your chances of getting a ticket are always greatest in that highest bracket.

South Upper for me too, right next to the away fans.

Got lucky too. Email came in at 10.45 this am. I'm in Area 45 - that's south upper too isn't it?

Get in there - message has arrived saying i have been allowed entrance to the promised land

Have said before do prefer this ballot option to what we had in past - got to more PL games this season than have for years.

And does not say restricted view so wont have a f***ing big post directly in front of me this time (hopefully)

 

[M.I.B.]

Admittedly, due to work, and the constant moving of games for TV, my visits to The Lane have been very limited this year. Managed to get me and both sons to the Wycombe cup game, and got to 1 CL game at Wembley, so as I know I won't get any cat A/B games at WHL tried for Watford as probably the only other home game I can make this season.

Nothing.

So, so disappointing, and therefore no chance to say a proper good-bye to the old ground having been going since 1966.

I think it would have been just as fair to open ALL games to the same ballot, although I realise this attracts those who ONLY want the Cat A/B games, but if it's for members, I don't see why that's a problem.

So, just got to live with memories of many years.

Not happy, but I know there will be those who say tough, just because they can get to every game but still don't get drawn.
