It should just auto allocate tickets tbh - would probably also help the server load as you can effectively just jump to the checkout page plus it's not like people adhere to seat numbers on away days. Pretty sure see tickets for Wembley effectively did that - selected a tier/block and it just auto allocated a seat based on that. I'd be happy with that, but you'd get the usual pissing and whining from the correct seat crew who want to specify the exact seat they get. Just do auto-allocation for general admission, and then have a separate lane for mobility/assistance tickets, and you're put where you're put. Tbh with the frantic whack-a-mole games I don't choose a seat anyway, it's just click a dot and get out as quickly as possible so the proposed approach isn't too different. There’s more pissing and whining about people pissing and whining than there are people pissing and whining. 😀

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. Do the people who went to Tamworth in 2014 get one? I'm not convinced they do to be honest. I hope they do. But I've seen many loyal fans who go everywhere be disappointed this morning.
The same faces I was referring to are the Social Media Super fans who all always manage to get their tickets. I'm not sure that many of them went to Tamworth in 2014 to be honest.
They all seem excellent at the Whac-A-Mole game.
I got one btw. Same with a couple of mates. I'd say we're quite JCL when it comes to away games, only go to 4 or 5 a season. I actually feel a bit bad for getting one compared to some of my mates who have missed out, I hope they get one in the next batch or I'll genuinely consider passing mine on to them.

I bet they did, because they prioritise other things in their life to ensure they get a ticket. I was off work on Wednesday and made sure I was free at 10am and managed to get a ticket. I'm sure Imposter made sure he was free at 11am today to get a ticket. And I'd back myself against most to win at whack-a-mole. Address pre-filled, card details stored on Chrome etc. Those little things can make a big difference. I've not seen any who go regularly miss out. I've seen people fed up with the shambles of a platform and it being hard work, but everyone I know who goes home and away has got a ticket. I've not seen any regulars (40+ games a season) on here miss out, I don't think. The 'super fans' get tickets because they put the effort in, it's not rocket science. So not really sure what your point is, unless you're on another poorly executed wind up mission?

There's still a handful available at the ticket office. Went down to the club shop and chanced it and managed to get one. What’s the shop like, much different/improved ?

It's bigger, they've extended out left if you are facing where the tills used to be. Feels a bit dark inside but really smart looking shop. The yellow tops were nearly all gone for kids sizes, much to the annoyance of my 4yo.

Looks quite flash; not massively bigger than before, but they've definitely utilised the extra room where it goes round the corner now with the till moved from the bottom end to by the door. All in all, it's a nice upgrade. Had to queue for about 20 minutes to get in!

Fortunately I knew what I wanted, 3 tops for son/nephews with birthdays this month, so was in and out in 5 mins. Tops were disappearing quickly off racks but was someone restocking so hopefully no one has to wait till Xmas! In my rush I forgot missus was after a pink hoodie, have to tell her they're sold out till tomorrow!

I'm not talking about me to be honest, I completely accept I'm not as hardcore a fan when it comes to going to games as others. I agree that someone like myself would not prioritise or "put as much effort in" to getting tickets as others.
What I'm saying is that the fans that went to Tamworth away in 2014 (using Imposter's example) should be rewarded.
I don' t think the current system allows for that.
But it does reward the social media posers who always seem to have got them for themselves, their best mate and their best mates dog.
They're irritating to be honest. I'm not convinced they've got one from queing up (mat for exmaple) or being agile on the Web side of things (as you for example) or being lucky (me).
As I say, I'm not saying this selfishly. I'm genuinley a bit sheepish I've got one compared to some who haven't.

They love taking about 10+ season tickets each to the ground or even just the barcode numbers. Nearly every in demand event has transaction limits per customer yet we don't. It's a piss take - happened to me during the NL Wrexham fiasco when the system went down so people were texting their mates all the numbers so he can buy them in bulk. There should be a purchase limit of four tickets per person, unless they have more than that linked to their account (for example a couple with four kids). Obviously each person you're buying for needs a barcode number, you wouldn't be able to just buy one for a random mate. But as it is now, I can go to the queue armed with 50 barcodes and get served for that number of tickets. Agreed absolutely ridiculous, unless they are linked we shouldn’t be allowing it

Who are the social media posers I wonder? I don’t see a lot of that from our fanbase if I’m being honest.

I was busy at work, my mate who has the season tickets was ready at 11 a.m. couldn't get one online. Not quite sure what you're getting at about people 'putting effort in' If you can't get there physically & have to rely on the online system then surely it's just luck whether you get one or not in a 6 minute rush?

It's a general thing of social media, where people just want to show off and that has seeped into County a bit. I bet all clubs have it. It's modern society.

Are these people not match-attending regulars?
