left winger 14,243 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 So, the club genuinely doesn't know how many tickets we're getting yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearethepeople72 1,845 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'd imagine for this and Hibs it will only be those who've been allocated 2 games so far that will be in with a shout. Kind of shite in a way because the way the fixture list pans out basically determines whether you're in with a chance or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will even itself out over a number of years, but in a one off season, it's not the fairest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gersey 13 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Full ballot for every game is fairest, but due to quirks of randomnes would probably lead to people being allocated three in a row and others nothing, leaving the ticket office open to complaints. They probably do it this way for an easier time. It's not the fairest at all. Allocated one game then taken out of the ballot for a load that you actually wanted.

Yeah exactly, if it's random every game some folk could end up with almost no tickets and others could end up with almost them all over the course of a season, that's not fair either. Really don't know what the best way to do it would be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The system is what it is, I can get frustrated myself but no point moaning about it every time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 If they are doing it the way people are suggesting then their is no way some people can be on 5 and some people on 2? Phoning up the ticket office is no going to solve it. They are no paid to care about it. They are just doing what the computer says in front of them. You've either been allocated a ticket or no.

Agree completely, as I said earlier in this thread I only got 2 away tickets through CCCS all last season yet had 5 already this season. It seems to me that there is fuck all system in place other than total luck of the draw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People would be moaning whatever system we used. It's no great but heyho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 End of the day it doesn’t matter how these Aberdeen tickets are allocated there will be people moaning as 1900 into 9000 just doesn’t go or in fact maybe closer to 1000 once the buses, players, staff and sponsors get theirs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,500 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I think after Aberdeen and Hibs about 95% will have had 3. Then everyone will be back in with an even shout for the tarriers. Out of the 18 away games you should normally get 6. Anything more than 8 and you’ve got lucky i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means the way the fixture list pans out has too much of an impact on what you get and don't get but. For example, why should I not be in the pot for Aberdeen and Hibs just because I got allocated Dundee when I would rather have had Aberdeen or Hibs?

As others said join a bus that travels to away games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
