Got 2 for West Ham. First wasnt able to get any but suddenly 2 popped on in the South Stand.

I'm so happy cause I thought I screwed it up by going in the queue too soon.

totally forgot about the sale this morning so logged on at like 9.50 and was 34k in the queue, managed to get in and grab a pair in the 400 blocks for Ipswich after a few refreshes. Job for the day done!

Managed to get 1 for Villa and 1 for Ipswich.

The annoyance of the map saying a section is available, only to click on it and show no seats to select will constantly confuse and annoy me. Even when switching to let it 'find the best seats for you' it'd often show 3 or 4 options but when you clicked on 'em suddenly 'no seats are available'.

Far from a perfect system but it used to be worse and I know of a lot worse.

Anyone else have issues assigning tickets to other members even though they have the correct membership too? Shambles!

Thanks rob, think I discovered it too late. Ended up panicking buying 3 singles but really need at least 2 together for me and my son. Also can members re-sell tickets on exchange?

Members cant sell on the exchange but you can get a refund theres a link on the site buried somewhere.

Also you wont be able to buy two tickets with the same membership so if youve got a seat against all your memberships from today, you wont be able to buy more tomorrow...

Just means people have to pay £70 for a kids ticket on the marketplace closer to the game. Really pisses me off, I have 3 kids who all want to go so it's £300 easy on tickets for the family and just not justifiable.
100% this. I don’t mind sitting on my own when going with mates (obvs preferable together) but when I want to take my kids it becomes almost impossible as we have to sit together. I have to hope they appear on the Exchange but end up paying adult prices for them

Don't know if it will last but as a season ticket holder you can actually make money even if you can only get to two or three games . If it is still the same as last season when a ST puts their ticket on the exchange they get get credited with the full match day price. If you could get a seat in the south stand lower you are pretty much guaranteed to be able to sell every game, it would cost you £1071 to buy the ST, if you sold for every game you would get back £1257 .
Cat A six games at £84 , Cat B nine games at £61 , Cat C four games at £51 , might get a few questions from the club about selling every game but according to the new ticket charter as long as the seat is occupied by selling on the exchange or ticket share it's OK.
That's true if you're successfully able to sell every game. But even in a good season, there's sometimes weird games which become harder to sell e.g. City last season when tons wanted to lose, or a Boxing Day game with the train network down. And if we have a bad season, you're suddenly left with a very expensive season ticket and very little interest on the exchange, so it's a bit of a gamble.

I can envisage a lot of Ipswich tickets going on the exchange as it’s one of those games which will definitely move to the Sunday (suppose there’s a danger it could move to the MNF as well) due to our Europa League involvement, but TV selections haven’t been announced for November yet (neither have railway engineering works). I’d recommend checking the Exchange shortly after the kick off date & time gets confirmed for that game as there will be a number of ST holders who quickly decide they can’t attend.

It would need to be a good seat not in the gods but you can bring the cost down of a ST. I have a relative who has a good seat in south stand who last season couldn't make a lot of games , sold on TE and amassed several hundred in his ticket account. As you say could have a bad season but it is theoretically possible to make a profit.

I got in early on the Man C match , sold on the exchange day after Arsenal won at Old Trafford and our games was crucial for the title and it was on TV so much easier to give up the ticket and glad I did .

Forgot they went on sale today, went on at 11:10am straight in and got a ticket for Ipswich using find seats for me. Section 529 which is my usual as well so happy with that. 66 quid for a cat c though still expensive I have to say.

Despite getting a good position in the queue and through to selecting tickets at about 10.20 - was a depressing experience.

Trying to buy two tickets so I can go to a game with my daughter and, you know, obviously entitled as I am, hoping to actually sit next to each other.

Feeling fleeced by the club - paying for the one hotspur + - and just minutes into ticket being available for members and it is impossible to find two tickets (across three whole games). From the earlier comments today on here that's a common experience for lots of fans.

The club need to sort this out. Or, have some kind of warning text when people buy memberships, something like, "although we offer you the facility to buy multiple tickets for friends and family, even if it's just 2 tickets that you want we have to warn you that for most games you will only be able to buy single tickets and your family member will have to sit on the other side of the stadium.....so that's ToughSheet, anyway we are excited to offer you great discounts on this crypto ponzi scheme....click here"

Apologies - but a bit hacked off with it - there must be a way of queuing and releasing the tickets on the system to allow more families to actually sit together
