Just had a letter from the club stating that due to a computer error, too many tickets have been sold for Burton and they enclosed a cheque for the refunded money.

Can't get through on the phone (obviously), but weirdly, tickets are still on sale. Just purchased another 2. All very weird. Anyone else?

Just keep buying them and having them refunded, ferret until their computer system has a meltdown.

If you're on twitter might be worth tweeting the club, that seems to get a pretty quick response.

Hopefully there's no problem with your second order.

I haven't a clue. At work so just had info by text from wife. I reckon she is behind it. Payback for something I did. Can't believe I fell for it.

Not sure of the exact set up now at 'The Gallagher' site but I just paid my first visit to the Arena Pk club shop. Whilst it's neatly arranged and invariable quiet most weekdays I can't believe how small it is and how it must struggle if there is the slightest rush ?! Just one lady and a young lad running it. Do they sell tickets from here ?
I 've tried to explain to friends who support other bigger clubs, that CCFC is not just a big club now with a Premiership set up striving to get back to the big time. We have been reduced in every way to being a League 1 club.
Anyway I've just chucked them £16 for a couple of nice coffee mugs, so I expect Messi to be signing sometime soon !

Not sure there's a lot of other options to locate the store close to the ground. I think someone (Waggott?) said they tried to get a bigger unit but that was all that was available.

"@KieranCrowley1 Just on the shop. We did target the bigger shop space (former Phones4U) at Arena Park but it was already reserved for someone else. #PUSB"

Managed to shift the extra two tickets as it happens. No real harm done, not the first time I,ve been made to look a tit. Will be having a quiet word tonight though! Stitched right up. I even tweeted the club asking what the fuck was going on. Fair play though - she knows my weakness. Taught me a lesson.

Might pop in and moan at them about how crap their internet access is when you're in the Ricoh.

By the sounds of it, the letter and cheque didn't happen. His wife was winding him up through text message and he fell for it.
