Topic: Members Sales

[walterwhite]

Waited over an hour in the queue, but got one in the main stand.

That's six home tickets I've picked up this season so far, happy but gutted these won't count as credits next season.

I'm on 13+ now for me and my wife, gone to about 80% of those games and glad to be going regularly, disappointed though that I'll be on the F5 band wagon again next year but thats the breaks I suppose

[jskyner]

Has anyone ever used the resale option for returning tickets? I've got tickets for the Leicester game in Feb but cant go. I cant see an option for resale, so not sure if its too early.
Does anyone know when it becomes available? and has anyone ever had it where their tickets didn't get re-sold?

it's probably too early to send them back, the tickets will always sell so just keep an eye until the option becomes available

[Danyaals Kop]

My Leicester tickets aren’t appearing anywhere on my account including my ticket history or ‘next game’ even though I have confirmation from the club that I bought them in the sale back in November.

Anyone else, or something I may need to contact the club regarding?

Mine doesn't show as a season ticket holder and neither does any of my mates who are members and seasies, so must be the same as everyone.

All ours have disappeared as well with no trace, also the same with the postponed Leeds game. BUT the Leicester ticket has updated on my card for it in my wallet, which should be changed again soon to Cardiff

[redgriffin73]

My Leicester are in my ticket history but I didn't check last night so maybe they've come back? Can't see Leeds though.

[Philipm20]

Yep Leicester returned on the history today

[Danyaals Kop]

Yep. Leicester showing on account and wallet now.

Just tried to grab a Cardiff ticket... surely they can't be gone already?

The sale was at 8.15am.... it required shrewsbury.... who returned 1800 tickets in upper annie road

So given that and that unsold hospo, acs failed payments and sponsor returns havent been made available for cardiff yet, there's probs 2500+ tickets less than there were for shrewsbury, which sold out

[GWats77]

Anyone have thoughts on how many we are going to be allocated for the final??

Looks like a ballot of joy will be awaiting me.

[Djimigotamedal]

When do we think inter home selling details will come out? Just shows hospo at the moment.

Trying to help a good friend out get tickets for her and her son for the West Ham. It's a birthday present and he's never been before

In the event we fail in the late members sales between us, is there any other avenues outside of the club hospitality she could try? She just doesn't have the budget to pay £250-£350 for a ticket.

Someone recommended @thetickethub on Twitter to me?

would be way easier trying to get a Leicester ticket imo. tout prices are all around £200/each otherwise unless you happen to have a mate with face value spares.

don't bother with touts, late members sale is the way, if you're on the ball you'll have an okay chance. Look at Watford for alternative too as they always return tickets

unlikely to get seats together is the only thing

[TeddyTime33]

I got 3 together for Brighton. Of course there's some luck involved but that's still preferable to paying touts. If you can be flexible with the game it helps too

[Schmarn]

Paying touts is enabling touts. Don’t do it.

I’ve always wondered who these touts are. Presumably STHs or members with 13+ making a living off the desperation of others. I wonder if they frequent this forum.

Id suggest they frequent and post on this forum. A lot of posts looking to know how to distribute tickets etc minutes after they buy them. A lot are people who can't be assed going to Brighton at home but want to go to united etc so they buy for every game and sell the majority.

For sure those are the most suspect posts.

Here’s what I don’t get. Can’t the club flush these out by buying from a tout. The club will then know which seat and therefore which member or STH has sold on at a profit in breach of the terms of their membership. The club can then cancel the membership/STH and issue a ban (lifetime in my view) and keep any amounts already paid by the tout for future matches/the full cost of the STH. So the club wouldn’t lose out, we’d free up more STH and tickets for real fans and we’d drive the vermin out of our club.

Apologies that this is kind of in the wrong section but it is intrinsically linked to members sales.

PS. I have no issue with people passing on for face value and a pint if they can’t make a game or want to treat a friend.

Yea though maybe sths should have a minimum quantity of games then must attend to keep the sth? I think I’ve heard of other clubs doing this

[actwithoutwords]

I might be an idiot but is there any way of telling whether a ticket returned to the exchange was actually sold or not? Went for a bank transfer rather than ticket cash, but presumably that's going to take time.

Takes 4/5 days after game is played. What game is it?

[anfieldash]

Yes, sort of. When that Alert box appears on the top right of personal details page to advertise Ticket Exchange then it shows you not only any future tickets you could return but also the last couple of games as well. If it sold it shows it did and tells you you got money (credit) back, if not it still says you returned it but, that's all, so you know it didn't sell.

Annoyingly if you haven't got any tickets coming up that are eligible to be re-sold then you don't get the Alert box appearing and so can't see any of this info . . . . unless someone has found another way to see all the info via another route, in which case I'd also be grateful to know!

Thanks! Yeah can't see it at the moment, presumably because the Leicester game is still a few weeks away.

Brentford. If I don't get it in the next few days then I suppose I should assume they weren't sold then.

[30fiver]

Can always ask live chat - they'd need a good reason for not selling it if you sent it back in fair time given it was 'sold out' sunday morning

I returned a ticket to the club for Brentford on the Sat evening before the match and have received the money into my account today.
Interestingly the seat was empty for the game, which I assumed meant that it hadn’t been sold.

they always sell, maybe sat somewhere else

Yes I did hope so but funnily enough I’ve returned two other games and had the purchaser sit next to me. Granted these were more glamorous than Brentford so maybe there were better specs to sit in for Brentford than mine

yeah could've went and sat with mates or something but would be very weird if the ticket wasn't used

It's not clear at all. I sold tickets for Leeds, which has obviously been delayed. Also need to get rid of WHU as I can't make it anymore. I click into the Alerts at the top of the members/tickets page, and have the option to sell tickets for Villa & Leeds (although Leeds says already sold!)

Also no longer get the option to distribute or recall anything; can only click on Details, which just redirects to a list of all my tickets!
