I just spoke to them as the UX is terrible.  They said it may be sorted when we have full capacity sales

It may be?

Wow. Such competence.

Is this the issue when you log in to the tickets element and it just keeps saying login to see eligible tickets?

How many were left?

55 currently

Plus a fuck load of hospo seats

Looks like they've opened more seats on the kop than last time, suggesting they've allocated more than 1500 to general admission and reduced the hospo count

I wonder how many hospitality members actually live in the city region. They’re probably far and few between especially now you can’t even pass them on

Most of us are holding out for the 27th. Everyone off work, hoping we get sorted and we'll all be eating scotch eggs in the pub. Might feel like we've got a bit of normality back

I've never been able to login either, just repeat login to buy tickets. So is it a bug in this super duper new ticketing system? and means when i do actually go in a ballot and be successful I ain't gonna be able to log in from the looks of it? Or is it doing this because I haven't entered ballots yet and so can't look to buy any?

Anyone know the policy if you have a ticket but can’t attend as someone in your household is positive? Will the club refund and add you back to the list?

I will contact them in the morn. Shocking luck but not the priority now.

Tried the lot, firefox, opera, chrome etc. I'm logged in account but on tickets just always says: Log In to view any matches you are eligible to purchase tickets for. So log in it again and it just reappears. Should it be showing me anther page? match select? or is this how its working now until i can actually buy a ticket? Can't see how this is gonna work when thousands are trying to login at the same time, its gonna time out/crash with all the requests clearly? It'll end up stopping someone logging in who qualify's I guarantee too.

Ok, so it’s been requested on here for months to finally reveal the ‘secrets’ of getting past the old ticket website queue and given there has now been a successful sale on the new site, now is probably the time to spill the beans on the method to the madness. I’m hoping this doesn’t come to bite me in the arse by switching back to the old system!

In short, there were several ‘times’ you could enter the pre-queue page and it would put you straight in when the ticket site/queue goes live at 8.15am.

I believe the algorithm for queue position was worked out based on the duration of the pre-queue being up, which for most games was 7.15am on the dot which allowed consistent entry. It was different for sales at 2pm where they may only have a 15 min pre-queue or on members bulk sales it was from 6.30am – I struggled with these ones due to the low frequency of them to do testing.

I work in IT and have access to a large quantity of devices. I use to just get as many in the queue as I could and hope for the best like most do, the reason these people are successful is because of the time it takes to open so many queue entries - they get lucky and catch one of the ‘times’, not due to sheer volume.

One morning I decided to open 1 unique queue entry every 60 seconds from the moment the pre-queue page went live. I had up-to 20 unique entries per device using different chrome ‘users’ I had setup on each PC (depending if it was my own device or a spare one ready to deploy to a user at work, one had 20 some had 4 etc), and what I found is that the first 6 were all over an hour in queue time, the 7th opened at 7.21am got in straight away. 7.22am had a 2-minute queue, 7.23am had around 10 minutes and the times slowly increased until it was back over an hour again. Personally I stuck at these times, but I also found there was a clear ‘opening’ at around the 7.38am mark too but due to having meetings 3 mornings a week between 7.30 and 8, I never explored this time more other than the occasion I mention below. These times stayed the same no matter on which device I was using, network connection or physical location (work or home if on holiday)

So 7.21am… to try and validate this I opened a tab every 30 seconds between 7.15 and 7.30, again the tab I opened around the 7.21 mark was first in, 7.21.30 was also straight in, and so was 7.22. 7.22.30 was a short wait, and then the wait time slowly went up again until over an hour. All entries before 7.21 were over an hour.

The sale after this was a local one and I didn’t require any tickets, so I did the same again but this time focused on finding the unique queue position in the HTML of the page and it confirmed that all entries before 7.21 were put right at the back, and after that they slowly increased again in queue position. I did this check twice myself during the season, and a close friend checked once and found the same results.

After this I wanted to do more digging on the 2nd ‘window’ which was around the 7.38 mark so the next sale when I didn’t have a meeting and didn’t require tickets I went back to the 60 second method. I found that 7.38 and 7.21 got in no queue, 7.39 and 7.22 had short queues of under 5 minutes, and both increased gradually minute by minute till over an hour was hit again. Looking at the HTML the queue positions for 7.22 and 7.39 were in the low hundreds, and as each minute increased (7.23, 7.24 – 7.40, 7.41 etc) the queue positions went up at a very similar rate, with never more than 500 positions separating them, even though they both entered precisely 17 minutes apart.

As the season went on and more and more entries were in the queue, the ‘window’ for getting in no queue shortened from being over a minute to more like 20-30 seconds. The window was slightly larger for the local sales with less people qualifying.

This proved the queue was not random and guaranteed I’d always get in in the additional sales (unless I was late for work :D) I kept my usual amount of sessions and opened them all between 7.18 until I run out, in case the pre-queue time holding page ever altered slightly and it also allowed me to get up to 5 browsers into the site with no queue meaning I could get up to 4 tickets on 5 different logins for people without sitting refreshing.

There’s some people on here who’ve messaged over the last 12 months who guessed it spot on to be down to pre-queue entry times, hopefully this explanation helps you understand how you got lucky!

So glad this has been revealed, remember early on when the sweet spot being when the site when down usually around 630.

When they changed that I struggled finding the new sweet spot, and missed out on some tickets.

Will be interesting to pick up what the loopholes in the new ticket site will be.

Anyone have any issues last night?

The NFC pass didn't work for me, or a load of other iPhone users.

I was also directed to entrance A&B (by the club shop) to use turnstile F (on the opposite side by the flagpole).

Few creases to iron out I think!

Are we staying in tier 2? I think a review was due around this time but I've only seen news about London going to T3. I assume we have stayed in it and therefore will be allowed fans for West Brom?

Honestly? I imagine it's a step towards it.

I had a feeling that any reduced capacity due to COVID would give the club the opportunity to trial some form of a new medium when it came to ticketing.

It makes more sense as it’s easier for a tout to pass on a card than it is for a phone. You wouldn’t want to trust anyone with your log in details

There is every chance come the new year it's back to tier 3 and no fans in, which was actually a part of why I didn't bother with any of the ballots really. I do think there will be a few thousand in games until we end this season, but if I was not to go to one I wouldn't really be bothered about missing Wolves/Spurs/WBA. I just look forward to a full house, whenever it may be

Wonder if there are any people left who were holding off for Man Utd starting to worry they won't get in now. 1 in 2 for West Brom is good odds though.

Reading through the stuff LFC sent me, it seems to just say that you need to fill in a health declaration and you don't need to take a test? Is that right or do I need to take a test before I go?
