There are plenty who get allocated a ticket in the ballot and can't go and end up passing the ticket on or worse still leaving an empty seat. An online sale would deter those who can't really be arsed from trying to get a ticket so at the end of the sale it will be those that qualify and really want to go who will get the tickets. Fuck that, people might not be able to get to the internet, the website would probably crash as well. Mr Soprano 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works perfectly well for all the EPL teams, if someone can't be arsed to log on and take their chance then it is their loss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if someone hasn't got the time at a particular moment then it's their loss, bullshit. EPL teams get a lot more tickets because of the size of Wembley, not even comparable.

Im not paying £70 for games I know I can't make just so I can potentially get into a 'priority' ballot.

Popular Post Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2017 As I thought lots of moaning, nit picking etc etc - well it's done. So for everyone who didn't get a ticket you now know what to do next season if you want to stand a chance of going to semi and cup finals. Buy your ST nice and early, subscribe to every home game, again nice and early and then don't lapse or cancel any home cup tie. If you don't or can't do the above, for whatever reason, then form an orderly queue behind those who can and shut the fuck up.

It's the only way to guarantee you have a chance at getting into the ballot. That's how it's ALWAYS worked, you need to have purchased ALL cup games at home, it's always been pretty clear to me. Miss some you're out! This year was slightly unique because we were faced with that group stage shite but it was the same in the lower divisions where we had cup games in July for a few years also. The benefit for next year will be that we have European games so therefore we will not be involved in the Group stages of the League Cup, won't enter it until the later stages due to league position (seeding) and therefore the first home cup game should take longer to get to. In theory next season supporters should have an easier time in qualifying for the semi final/final ballots. Deanzmeanzheinz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, I've got nothing wrong with the ballot, it's fair, I was lucky, well unlucky, in the league cup semi. The way I read that post was he was saying you were guaranteed a ticket through that method, which isn't true. Buggleskelly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I read that post was he was saying you were guaranteed a ticket through that method, which isn't true. I never took that from what he said though, he basically said you go to the back of the queue so you'll maybe get the chance but you aren't guaranteed the chance for a ticket. As I've said above though, based on European involvement, this should be less of an issue. Unless of course you need to have attended all European and Cup home games to qualify I think that actually used to be the case so we could have this repeat itself over again next season.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Been all the cup games and ticked all the boxes for the last few seasons, if I didn't get a ticket I would be raging. So anyone in that boat has every right to be pissed off. May be time to take into account just how long you've been on CCCS the longer the better the chance.
