Went the window, sorted by half 8. Decent spec in 305, sweet!

[willss]

Has anyone got any tickets on the phone?  I've had office closed for the past hour or all lines busy!!

[ldsn]

If I'm getting blown into this shite scheme in order to have some form of priority they best give me a decent spec. None of this row 76, 75, 74 malarky.

For the City game when I got in 304 and 306 were on green whereas 305 was on yellow. Went for 306 and got given back row so changed to 305 and got row 56. Hmmmm, not sure what to make of that.

Nothing, had to use online in the end.

Re-dial the number every time though, for me this stopped "the TO is now closed" bollocks.

Got my ticket at the ground, they had staff on 7-8 windows and only one other girl sat a bit further back. They all have headsets so I assume they're the same staff that's one the phones? No wonder nobody can get through.

being an "oot" who always buys online, what are the queues like at the ticket office nowadays for these?

It's shameful if there is only 9 or so people answering phones. Surely they have a room not visible from the window with upwards or 20 on phones?

you must be joking. We are lucky that there maybe 9 answering. The club is stuck in 1990 with the ticketing. Shameful.

last friday game we had was a friendly against Lazio a few years ago i think

That must have been a friendly, I wonder when we last had a competitive match on a Friday?

wasn't too bad, was there before 8, sorted by half 8.

I don't know. There was talk about the TO moving to somewhere in town, so maybe they have some sort of a call centre somewhere. Just don't know why the window staff have headsets if thats the case.

what are the chances of getting a home ticket in the next rounds of the FA cup as a member without acs from this oldham match?

Course you got a chance mate. But, the ACS will "guarantee" you a ticket. If you buy Oldham, then the next sale will go on previous sales (as it always does).

So, if we draw another lower league side at home (if we get through), then you got a good chance.

If we draw United/Everton in the next round (if we all get through), then you got little chance, unless you buy the Oldham ticket in the "non ACS" sale next week.

[Danny Boys Dad]

Nobody queuing at the ground at 9:20, three windows open. Easy.

[Johnny Foreigner]

LOCAL !!!!

[willss]

Finally got through on the phones.  Get in.  No queue, straight to the operator.  Its a real backward system.

[Danny Boys Dad]

Strange not being given a ticket though, feels odd just walking away from the window with just a receipt.

I'm sure We already do have a call centre in chapel st

With apologies for going a bit off-topic, I posted this regarding league games on Fridays (since 1989) a couple of months ago in the general "games being moved for TV" thread:
http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=281723.msg9330726#msg9330726

Excluding League games, we've also played two European Super Cup games on Fridays:
24 August 2001, won 3-2 v Bayern Munich
26 August 2005, won 3-1 v CSKA Moscow

We've only ever played two domestic cup games on Fridays, in consecutive seasons in the 1980s:
6 January 1984, won 4-0 at home to Newcastle
4 January 1985, won 3-0 at home to Aston Villa

Cruella has your card marked Charlotte.

Indeed!

Everton away on Good Friday 2000.

[Mike Doyle]

Everton away on Good Friday 2000.

Boxing Day 2008 against Bolton

[It's Jimmy Corkhill]

Everton away on Good Friday 2000.

We had Leeds on Good Friday when Bowyer and Ferdinand scored ( I think), over Easter about 10 years ago. Shite, walked back to town megged, underage and unhappy.

[redpirate]

We played Standard Liege in a Champions League qualifier on a Friday a few seasons ago.

[a former tribune of the plebs]

No we didn't.

[AnfieldIron]

Bought mine today but not entirely clued up on the auto-cup scheme. Does that mean I've now been entered into it?

I'm only a member btw.

We've got one coming up before this cup game, by the way. Friday 30th December v Newcastle.

Did anyone get Adult and Child yesterday? 

I attempted to call in the morning but kept getting the "ticket office is closed, press 3 for Napoli" (!) message and gave up.  Going to try again today.

Wondering where is it we will have to sit, just AR upper or did anyone get a £5 junior anywhere else?

Many Thanks,

Mart

[joel]

I think Childs are only annie upper and I'm sure I saw 'wills' got sorted with an adult/child.

I know, I am going to it, Friday games for us are quite rare and now we have 2 in 2 weeks!

Will I be guaranteed a final ticket now I have got Oldham at home ?

[nickyd186]

Bloody hell your jumping the gun lol. To be honest mate no the FA f**k real fans when it comes to final normally both clubs only get around 25000 tickets each so chances will be slim. Will be ok for a semi ticket tho if we get there normal get around 8/10 thousand more for this.

Did they say they were taking ST ACS payment from today or from Monday ?
