We shall see. I cant help but smell plastic, Every c**t i know is asking me for tickets for Wembley. A bloke in the street who speaks to me now and again told me a sob story about his brother living in Wales etc a top fan, never been in 20 years etc but wanted 4 tickets.
Let them go as the people who go every week are totally pissed off and the cup is just bollocks. Just like all those cunts in Broadgate 30 years ago. Where are they now? Oh I know where they are they are trying to scrounge tickets again.... Fooking boils my blood.
Chill take a breath and ............oh look another random text from a c**t asking for tickets.:bored:

Ticketmaster I use quite frequently for games abroad - teams up and down the country use them as an add onto to their own ticket office as it is simply that a useful add-on- sorting out the whole allocation is going to be challenging and i alos do not agree with the £2.50 per ticket handling charge in my case an extra £60 on one order - A friend of mine spoke to ticket master on Friday and the staff member knew nothing of CCFC - It took him all afternoon to speak with someone but actually he did not get anywhere - apparently to login you have to drop the first letter C?? anyone ever going to tell this information to the the many that will be logging in tomorrow

Ticketmaster's contracts are inclusive of all tickets sold - even cash on the gate.
TM fee for Wembley is £4.80 so CCFC only charging half the fee
The phone number is on website 0844 453 9134.

To be fair at the start of the season I was sceptic about the ticket sales being subbed out. However having ordered every away ticket online via the website, I've never encountered any problems and think the process has been pretty smooth.

Only downside is only being able to choose 'best available' for match tickets and slot of the time the ticket sales from the front of stands. It's ok if your in a top tier but I don't want to be watching from leg level!

But apart from that, which can be overcome by just finding another seat if I have to end up with one of them seats, I've been happy with new way of working

so can I order with four season tickets at the same time? as I want all of the seats together

You will be able to buy 24 tickets at the same time.

It'll assign 6 to you & the others you'll assign to people on your profile.

You can buy 24 tickets too?

Is that for the one with Kiefer Sutherland in, or the new Legacy one just out?

I think he can just buy six tickets -
Is it 6 per past ticket or 6 per purchaser?

Six per purchaser.

If the others want to buy there own they have to be linked - as I understand it. I bought 2 on my ticket for the SF

If you have your account linked then you can buy 24. As they're linked it's technically 3 purchasers.

I'm guessing it means 'if you turn up with a home stub for every game his season all under your name, you do not get 18 lots of 6 tickets'.

(Have we played 18 at home? Might have made that figure up)

Just checked it out and you have to basically assign each individual ticket over the 6 purchased on your own season ticket, there was a list of twelve tickets in the basket; 6 were assigned to my name and 6 were unassigned, you are then given the option to assign each unassigned ticket to someone in your network. Seems straightforward but we will see tomorrow!

Re. the OP, I assume what Covboy meant was why are we outsourcing? I guess most things are done on-line these days, and ticketmaster has the proven infrastructure to do this. Must say I haven't had any personal problems with them. I would imagine the percentage they take (the admin fee/postage fee or whatever?) is worth CCFC giving up to ensure you can (a) have smooth operation (b) potentially cut your own admin costs (c) blame someone else if it goes tits up.

You would think so, it'll surely be per person, not per game - as per ST holders.

Tell him to make a little effort and get himself to the next game, very least he can do to join the queue with the majority of us...then HE can be the hero for his top fan bro in Wales.

Hope you and yours are sorted mate - likewise, I've got family asking me to get them tickets. Hopefully they won't be disappointed on 8th March, but if we miss out, thats the way it goes we'll get a few beers in and watch it on the telly .... I certaily won't be paying more than face value and lining some nobs pocket. Fair play to ST holders, putting the money up front after all the dissapointment of last year and the state we're currently in, they should be rewarded....but letting six go to the rest of us, that's going to be a mad scramble on the 8th and some genuine fans may miss out (I know a relative who lives in Leicester who apparently is so sorted, along with a few foxes in his local).

Should have made it two tickets max for people like us, would have bolstered the gate for the last couple of games and made a few people make more effort.

Otis , Be careful with your trigger finger, you might end up with more tickets than you need ( like the train tickets ) :wacky:

Just the same as 87, fucking plastics coming out,
CCFC fans who didn't buy a s/ticket are likely to miss out !!
I did hear tho that the bloke who owns Ticketmaster is a big buddy of Anderson ???
Just saying.....

Reg my old mate, Im not going and have gladly gave my allocation to people with young kids as we may never have a club at Wembley or a team in any division.
No problems but 8700 fans with 500 away fans with 5000 season tickets doesnt look like many are interested in getting priority seats.
