Topic: Autocup

[Mr.Savage]

Had 6 mins and clicked into European scheme and it’s give me another 8 min queue

[NickoH]

Best I've got is 9995, over an hour

[redgriffin73]

Got straight in, clicked on CL ACS and got put back in another queue! Luckily only for a few minutes, all sorted now for all three comps.

[jonnypb]

Weird, once you get in you have the option to select the competition for the ACS, click on the competition and then puts you in another queue!?

[WanderingRed]

Have your debit/credit cards ready if you need to update them - it won't let you check out until you've done so

Seems to be only singles dotted around the Kop for the CL ACS

[GMac1984]

Straight in...however when selecting my seat I get a message saying I'm not eligible to select a seat for ACS at this time!!!  WTF.....successful in ballot as welll

My bad.  In my excitement at getting in early I selected the FA Cup section rather than CL.  All sorted now and back into the Kop!!

[Jon_YNWA82]

May as well spill now considering it's gone? Curious to know how haha.

Could you press a number code or something to bypass it?

Involved timing the recorded message, and using the digital clock on my work computer. 

Found out some years later that RAWK clock was common knowledge back then but I wasnt on the forum at the time!!

[Roy Cropper]

what the script with this. Is it just members getting them today or season ticket holders too?

[LFCStuart]

When I logged on in December for last year's FA Cup ACS seat selection I had no queuing time and was in and out with my seat chosen in 4 minutes. I assume the long wait times today will be due to all 3 competitions being active at the same time?

[TeddyTime33]

Pretty much the same seats as the league games all in 305, plenty of availability

great luck on the queue times there mate

[red and white liz]

Bloody hell, in done and out FA and CL boxed

[devilfysh]

just done that with me now waiting another 10 mins

[red_Mark1980]

Same to me, only I'm still in the queue

[Rhi]

Is row 65 rail seating?

[Hij]

I'm clicking to click into the Champions League auto cup and then going into another queue? LOL

[J_Kopite]

Yeah, this - wtf?

[MKB]

I loved those days.

The call centre was in Kirkby or that knowsley tech park I think. My mate worked there and added my number as an engineer.

Every time I called I got- "You are now at position number:  1".

Twenty years ago, I used to get tickets for home games simply by faxing the ticket office a few days before asking if they had any returns, and could I have one.

[PHIL.]

Great stuff.

Got to the end of my queue time, it put me into the website, selected the competition I wanted, and back in a new queue.

Classic.

[redgriffin73]

Yep, seems like it happened to us all!

[Hij]

Fantastic stuff not like I'm supposed to be working or anything.

[pl_kop_1969]

just done that with me now waiting another 10 mins

Does anyone know if there's any way of avoiding the second queue mentioned here?

[TeddyTime33]

Fantastic stuff not like I'm supposed to be working or anything.

why is this sale not 8:15? Just off 5 nights in a row and I'm sitting here fucked in a queue for another hour, could you be arsed? I would've woke up at 3pm to the same choice of seats im gonna get anyway

[WanderingRed]

Yep, seems like it happened to us all!

Didn't happen to me - I joined the pre queue at half 9 by clicking on the ACS Period and hit that queue.

They must have multiple queues depending on what you want to do on the site

[Red_Irishman]

WTF I got in and had to login, then booted to another 12 min queue.

No, it's because you got extremely lucky last time.

That stopped working towards the end when they stopped opening the lines on the dot at 08:15:00.  You'd connect then and still be told they were closed.  Could take a minute or two before they flicked the switch.

[andy07]

Loads left in the corners of The Kop for CL.

[Red_Irishman]

Can't believe this second queue. I had 3 together selected in 305 for the FA cup. 100% gone now.

[VVM]

No, it's because you got extremely lucky last time.

To be fair I think I remember everyone having a much easier time with that FA cup sale.

[upthereds1993]

Worst part is they'll be loads of idiots queuing for this who aren't eligible - then they'll take a screenshot and moan on twitter saying "noooo way omg quered for tickets but couldn't buy"

Fuck off

Like that american fella in the bulks the other year who bought flights, hotel & memberships for City @ home then tweeted the club fuming after he realized when attempting to check out that it was a 4+ sale

[Jon_YNWA82]

Yeah towards the end when the moved to buying online - meant I had to figure it all out again!

But worked well for me prior to that.

[MKB]

On one laptop, as well as the two queues, I had anti-robot codes to key in too, some on the first queue, some on the second and some on both.  Oddly, didn't get those at all on another laptop, just the two queues.

[redgriffin73]

great luck on the queue times there mate

[Roy Cropper]

all done in Kop.

domestic cups still yellow everywhere. CL Kop is red down the side and 300's.

To avoid going back into a queue. once you have selected seats and they are in your basket click "choose all auto cup schemes you are eligible for" at the top.

[Levitz]

When did they start doing multiple queues? Just got in on 'members tickets' now in a another queue over an hour for auto cup?

That didn't show for me the first time but I just clicked ACS enrolment at the top and it took me back.

[jonnypb]

Plenty of pairs left in the Kop for CL in the side blocks, singles scattered in the other Kop blocks.

[red_Mark1980]

Ha ha ha. Got all the tickets and the site won't let me check out.

At times like this I honestly hate the club

[redgriffin73]

You had to be on the holding page for the ACS before 10am, not for members tickets.

[-KingKenny-]

Sorted in 305 for CL
We go again...
