No pre-login on City games though

Demand isn't as high and if you can browse and then sign up it probably works better for them. We should have it on everything as it should reduce the load if you only get through the first hoop and into the queue if you qualify, if there's no specific sales on or whatever they might remove that step.

it’s gonna be a big test for this software, none of these club would be as popular as ours

Site shit the bed according to Reddit/Twitter for a Sounders FC sale in November which had a lot of interest. Testing is crucial.

Sounders are well supported and if it was November I think it would’ve been for the playoff final which would’ve meant good interest so that’s not a great sign

There will always be issues and as great it is supporting an elite club, the ticket demands is one of the drawbacks.

Yeah no complaints about demand it comes with the size of club and success and that makes us all happy but the ticket website should be top class with that too

to be honest most ticket websites I’ve used outside Ticketmaster usually encounter some sort of problem somewhere along the line, and people complain about Ticketmaster all the time too

I think the issue (And this goes for everything not just football) is that people who don’t get tickets usually blame the ticketing site first because that’s easier than admitting you were slow or just got unlucky. So the fact that loads of us get sorted but still have gripes about the site shows how bad it is

‘Liverpool FC is overhauling its ticket-buying process...’

Would it be wrong to assume that they’re referring to more than the ticketing system here and other changes are set to be implemented, or am I perhaps reading too much into it?

No your most probably right especially after the emails sent out not long ago asking about thoughts on ballots before sales

it’s a tough issue to crack, the issue is that those on 13+ will just leave seats empty then because it’s worth it. A members exchange would be good for those who only buy a few games per season but then can’t make it for whatever reason so the credit doesn’t actually mean much
Leaving the seat empty will eventually lose you the credit. The club have been talking about it from the start of the season but seemingly everything takes a country age to implement

Mobile tickets and transfer via an app to another supporter (which gives that person the credit) will help to sort this

It wouldn’t exactly be hard to give a mate the card and have them scan it as well as there own in that instance.

Noticed that city have a slider allowing you to select number of required seats and then a "Select best available seats" option.

Hope we put that on. No more pissing round choosing a stand or selecting on a dropdown when there's about 2 seats available.

Theirs doesn't seem to allocate singles though if you want more than one. We really should have an option for that.

There is on some games - ours being one of them
You can still actually access their website and buy another game though, can’t you? Our game is just greyed out until you actually log in. Don’t see how this system would sort out any unnecessary traffic.

I understand that and agree, but we’d need to implement it prior to actually accessing the website, unlike with City’s where you can clog up the ‘queue’ all you like, as you don’t need to log on unless you’re buying a certain game such as their game against us.

no this fair, it’s very doable as well considering all the ticket information is already posted on the main club website, clicking the link to the ticket website should require you to log in then

Hope that changes. We go as 4 together but sometimes just get pairs or singles in same block that are near in kop. 4 together but back row of the main stand isn’t really what we’d want. Useful for some but hopefully something we have flexibility on.
