Just had call from TO saying my tickets were in the stolen lot but they are just waiting to hear from FA about arrangements for replacements. She said there will be no problem and I would DEFFO be getting tickets.

So, they phoned you ?

For us over in ireland its a bit dodgy though, im not one to panic myself but if tickets havent being sent out yet, its takes a while to get them over here, remember that benfica ticket, post is a joke over here

Good point mate, forgot about that Benfica ticket. Wasn't that a week till I got it from you? Anyway, when you over? I owe you a few bevvys for this season. If you need them collecting from the TO I can sort that for you aswell

My mate has just received a call from the club.
His tickets were stolen and the club are waiting to hear back from the FA as to what the process now should be.

He ordered 2 on the Thursday by phone as well.

Mate just emailed me - same call and same method of buying (Thursday on the phoneline)

My mobile is locked up secure so not sure if I've been called

Might be a good offer Niall but would need to act sooner rather than later once the tickets
go into that post box its the lap of the Gods mate

Yeah I just had that call too, she said not to panic and just to bear with them while they're sorting it, we got ours by phone last Wednesday morning.

classycarra · « **Reply #177 on:** May 8, 2006, 04:47:55 pm »

why bother emailing them, if yours have been stolen its on record and they will contact you. if not they won't. its a case of waiting

AJ · « **Reply #178 on:** May 8, 2006, 04:52:01 pm »

Just seen on .tv that it says 'tickets won't be duplicated in any circumstances.'

Think they will stand firm on that?

AJ. Do you know if that has just been posted on the official site or if it has been on for a while and you haven't spotted it until now?

Thats always been there. Those with tickets stolen will not miss out - unless people keep constantly harassing the TO's already limited resources so all they can do is answer the bloody phone.

Thank you HPC. If its always been there I reckon it was put up to cover the "My dog ate my ticket can I have another one" type of stuff - ie, don't try it on.

These are exceptional unforseen circumstances. I can't see any logical reason why duplicates shouldn't be issued. You can't in effect cut our allocation by 1,600, by refusing to issue duplicates and penalising the ballot. I'm sure duplicates will be issued.

AJ · « **Reply #183 on:** May 8, 2006, 05:47:48 pm »

Yeah, I'm sure they will, someone will be liable if they don't. I just wasn't sure because I hadn't noticed that before.

TheKid. · « **Reply #184 on:** May 8, 2006, 07:13:39 pm »

Rang the TO before, they said my tickets hadn't been stolen, and they will be sent out today or tomorrow - now I'm glad they havent been robbed, but why are they waiting til now (when i ordered them on Thursday) to send them out

Hightown Phil · « **Reply #185 on:** May 8, 2006, 07:16:51 pm »

Possibly duplicates arriving from the FA, which would be a completly different scenario than someone just getting a new ticket from Cardiff.

Quote from: Stretch Armstrong on May 8, 2006, 12:36:31 pm

So who were the stolen tickets for - the plot thickens

have heard that 74 for the Deeside supporters club have gone missing.
So depending on how the TO distribute tickets, others in this postcode (CH) may also be affected.

The plot thickens further...

el preks · « **Reply #187 on:** May 8, 2006, 07:25:13 pm »

still waiting for 3 tickets to arrive from thursday.been told they were not in the stolen batch,fuck knows where they are.flying to cardiff at 8.40 on fri morn,so only 3 days post left.

i expect that duplicates/replacements will be sent up from wherever they are printed for tomorrow, where they will be printed(if not already done), and dispatched

avidmerrion · « **Reply #189 on:** May 8, 2006, 07:36:04 pm »

i remember last year a load of Man Utd(sorry for mentioning them on here) fans living in northern ireland didn't get their cup final tickets because of a postal strike up there.can't remember myself whether they were sorted with duplicates or not.someone else on here might know

corbyRed · « **Reply #190 on:** May 8, 2006, 07:48:21 pm »

Please forgive my incompetance, but i still can't understand how they can physically control this on the day if they send out duplicates for all those stolen ones.

Someone goes to their seat to find someone already there. They report it to the nearest steward who ejects/moves the one that has the stolen ticket, ie. the ticket that doesn't have duplicate printed on it.

either that or they will have something extra on top of just duplicate to prove its overriding authenticity

That wouldn't make a difference really. No way of checking on entrance to the stadium bar stopping everyone and looking at each individual ticket which would be nigh on impossible.

corbyRed · « **Reply #194 on:** May 8, 2006, 08:40:15 pm »

still gonna be pretty difficult to kick out 1600 people who have probably paid well over the odds for a ticket.

a lot of the time in cardiff, people tend to stand in the aisles and where they can get a better spec anyway a la euro away

Yeah. Like I said before, I know for sure this happened to mates of mine, and the stewards were very obliging and did seat them. But with 1,600?

Difficult? A nightmare.

Sure, people generally stand anyway, and we generally don't bother about aisle standing because its not too crammed and you can get through if you want to. But 1,600 extras?

But there's no other way anyone can check who's got what seat other than contacting a steward and pointing that out. Its absolutely impossible to check this on the turnstiles - it would take all day to check properly.

AJ · « **Reply #196 on:** May 8, 2006, 09:58:45 pm »

Only other thing they could do is re-distribute all of the tickets in say a different colour or with some kind of distinguishing feature. All of those without said feature can't get in. Bit too late for that now though I'd imagine.

Try going to your ticket history on the Fancard part of the site,print out your purchase details (which will show seat numbers etc) so if somebody is in your seat then you have the extra evidence to back up your claim .
