Where are they seeing this? I must have missed it. I'm only asking as this affects a lad from our bus and if it's the case he should contact the club. I thought however it was a straight ballot and everyone had the same chance. It came from the ticket office around 800 supporters missed out on the league cup semi final so they were to be allocated tickets for the upcoming game. I spoke to someone about it last week and they confirmed that's how it was going to be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should cap the priority at the start of the season then if more tickets become available should then offer them to the rest of season ticket holders I'm n the family stand too. Do you think that's why we're not getting tickets. I agree it should be capped Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get a bus ticket but he should be asking why he hadn't received one for the last two semis now. The reason I asked was it was never stated at any time by the club that would be the case in this ballot. It always just said those on cccs semi and finals were in a ballot.

KazzyTI 267 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Got my email but it appears my nephew didn't. We're linked through friends and family, it's always been both or neither of us. His name and number doesn't appear on the email telling me I've been allocated a ticket either. Anyone else had an issue like this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they would tell anyone that asked but it should have been noted on the website, I don't see how else they should've carried out the ballot seems to have been done the fairest way.

Although he got an rsc ticket as he will for this. He may get an email yet mind you, but if he doesn't and what this guy is saying about the 800 being a priority he wants to know why he hasn't got a cccs one.

blueretro 704 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I just logged onto the official website to check my order history. "Page not found" Maybe they're updating it with a ticket for me.

It isn't right that you've missed out on both Semi Finals this season tho I'm more raging because I really wanted my grandson to get at least one OF game this season (being in the family stand he doesn't get the option). Also I'm raging that the sponsors get extra tickets as well as the corporate tickets and the players families who haven't been to a game all season. ? Im just full of rage! Lol ?

Bydo 3,215 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Since we were put into the third division, I've been on the CCCS and have paid for (and attended) every single home cup game. As such I've never missed out on any of the semi final or final tickets over the past few years. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones, but I think the CCCS is a completely fair way to decide who has priority. It has one massive massive flaw however. The deadline to sign up being in October makes fuck all sense. The deadline should be before the first cup game of the season (in case it's at home). The sheer level of demand means that anyone who signs up after that first cup game has pretty much fuck all chance anyway. jintybear and Captain Hilts 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

minus22 207 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 We got three. Happy days Can't help but feel for those that didn't, especially having been to all games. Don't think there's any fairer way than the ballot, but it is pish/rotten luck if people are consecutively missing out. Is there any truth to lower priced season tickets being less likely to get tickets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are too many on the CCCS for the tickets we get so someone will always miss out. I genuinely feel for you and I honestly think that folk who missed out last time should have got the first 800 tickets. I meant other than *that* particular situation folk who have been on the CCCS from the start should always get first refusal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't happened yet, and I'm very aware that I'm one of the lucky ones. As I just said above, there will ALWAYS be folk on the CCCS who will miss out because there are just too many. I would like to think that after my run of luck that I'm level headed enough to take it quite well. if I found out that folk who DIDN'T attend as many games as me got one, that would be a different story.

Absolutely no chance that will happen. It would cut a huge amount of income to the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
