What usually happens is people have them in the basket and if they don't check out in time or card gets declined they reappear for purchase. Should just be the odd one or two sporadically. Yeah that's what will be happening, but weird that it's still going on a fair amount of time after the club says it's sold out. Still no sign of my confirmation email 45 minutes later. have you checked junk mail? my email even recognizes future ticketing stuff as junk

I've got a feeling a lot of those going to Blackpool won't be at Mansfield or Barnsley True but i never know why unless they are taking the whole family there to do their thing whilst they go to the game which i,m sure will account for many. At least there are no holiday makers to bother about or the traffic if you go to barnsley or mansfield with only the fans of those two to contend with.

There needs to be a further opportunity for season ticket holders before general sale for this game , and we need phased sales based on last seasons away games to make it fair as this is going to be a regular occurrence for all localish fixtures . If we have over 6k season ticket holders there is a farcial scramble every time we have an allocation . and 3k who are not and feel some should be held back for them who are still fans of the club and not second class ones. I,d hate to be an exile who has booked a holiday there and be unable to see my team play a game there.

The same faces always manage to get one though don't they?

They're appearing now in ones and twos, but you have to be very quick with your clicking. Is that how they're doing it, because the system's too shit to cope otherwise? 😂 I've got visions of some work experience kid on an old 486 PC with CRT monitor, adding tickets every few seconds, and ticking them off from a dot-matrix printout by his side every time he does.

I understand why clubs give allocations in tranches but on this occasion I feel it's a bit daft on Blackpool's part. Our 1st away game in a new division, relatively local, at a time of year when the weather should be decent. We were always going to travel in huge numbers for this one. Bit different if it was a Tuesday night in February where we'd still take a decent following but might not have the same overall appeal to the masses.

The current ticketing system favours those who have the time to queue up at the ground or those buying online who were very good at Whac-a-Mole. Just utterly bizarre isn’t it. We should be getting out of this contract early and sorting something else. When going to see County is becoming as hard as going to Glastonbury something is drastically wrong Absolutely. I hope the club are sending a fierce email, and receiving a reassurance that all the problems have been ironed out. Because if this happens again, I'd expect nothing more than another email asking for reassurance. Possibly even leaving off "kind regards" at the bottom.

The same faces always manage to get one though don't they? The only same faces who always seem to get tickets are those who were there at Tamworth in 2014 when we were shit, or a Tuesday night in Torquay in 2005, or Gainsborough in a snowstorm, or Ramsbottom in the freezing drizzle the Saturday before Christmas, etc... Ie. Those who have been everywhere for years, and frankly probably deserve a ticket. To be honest I get more annoyed with those who were nowhere to be seen 5 or 10 years ago who now suddenly pop up on Facebook, Twitter etc...with their "NEED a ticket". No you don't "need" a ticket, you "want" one or you'd "like" one, but you don't "need" one. The only ones who come even remotely close to "needing" a ticket are the very small handful of maybe a dozen who haven't missed a game home or away for decades - like the quite well-known "twins". Even then they don't really "need" one.

There's still a handful available at the ticket office. Went down to the club shop and chanced it and managed to get one.

Have always wondered if they are the ones who might source them from other areas like those who have never missed an FA Cup Final.

I know that this idea is beyond the capabilities of the current ticketing system, but here goes:
A few seasons ago Wolves introduced an away season ticket.
It was about 150 quid but you got 10 quid off every away ticket purchased (to a maximum of 15 games), but the ticket gave the supporters priority for ALL away games, followed by season ticket holders.
So it was effectively a free system (except for a 10 quid booking fee apparently) as long as you did a number of matches.
Not sure if they still do it, as they became like gold dust when they got to the PL

I'm trying to get two together but when two appear I can just about manage to get one but the other disappears just as quick. Stupid whackamole system. Nobody will be in their allocated seats anyway. The two I got are nowhere near each other. Yes I know that but it's one adult and one child. They need to be booked in adjacent seats or the system doesn't allow you to purchase.

I was checking both inbox and junk as county emails seem to go in both. My original barcode for Blackburn went in inbox, my replacement barcode for Blackburn went in junk, both of my codes for Blackpool went to inbox.
