Topic: Members Sales 17/18

[Modroxter]

Most of us will still in a queue after 9! I'd do it at home and get there late, that's my plan

I always put in for time off twice a year to run the gauntlet of the members sale. Annual leave sheet will get put in on Monday.

Thought the announcemen was never gonna come.

We know they will never please everyone with the sale impossible to and they are clearly thinking of memberships and people buying for the chance of getting to a game. All business

[kalle-anka]

Is it possible getting 5 tickets together in the bulk sale in the adult/child section?
Or is it limited to a maximum of 4 tickets per transaction even there the ratio for tickets are different?

[DangerScouse]

Pretty sure it's 4 max

[Barneylfc∗]

Can junior tickets be bought on adult cards? Will be taking my lad to the Man Utd game but don't fancy shelling out £50 for his ticket. But I don't fancy taking him to the adult/child section either with it being right above their scumbag fans singing about Hillsborough etc

Yes but you will have to buy a young adult.    Theoretically they could do checks in the ground and query why but highly unlikely.

Yeah that should make the most sense.

Family coming over from Oz in August, huge reds fans.

Want to get 3 tickets together (2 adults 1 child) for the Palace game.

Know the best way to guarantee this would be to purchase 2 extra memberships so we can access members sale (I already have one).

Seems a little steep that I'll have to shell out an extra £50 on these when the memberships realistically won't be used again.

Other option is waiting for a general sale. Can anyone advise me on the chances of this? Not hopeful.

Just realised it's the first home of the season. Fairly sure I've answered my own question!

Can't remember last time a league match went to general sale. May struggle on the exchange here being first game too- membership is your best plan

[swoopy]

"General Sales" don't exist anymore to anyone who lives outside the 'L' post code area

Means that everyone who wants a single ticket has to fork out £26.99 for a 'Membership'

they could always ask their local OLSC branch for help - YNWA !

Cheers for taking the time to reply guys!

How do you know?

[red_Mark1980]

Excellent news!!! Members on 19 games in with the sale with members that have bought their membership a few days before!!
Good way of rewarding loyalty that!!!!!!!!!!!

I got 19 last year with no problem. From about 12 the year before.

[swoopy]

How do you know?

It was like that last year and I don't see that changing. The only general sale is the 'local general sale'.

[Red_Skippy]

How a staggered sale can't be done is beyond me but hey ho, is what it is!

Paul McCartney tickets for his first Australian tour since 1993 went on general sale here in Oz today.  All shows were released hours apart so everyone wasn't logging on at the same time fucking up the process.  You have to wonder which mentally challenged fuck wits runs the planning process behind this operation?

Pre login is all it needs to prove you qualify and there wouldn't be any of these problems

[ScubaSteve]

Completely agree with this! The queue wouldn't be so bad. People are probably adding tickets to a basket too attempting to checkout.

[DangerScouse]

Restricted to one log in too would make a massive difference, as i reckon most people myself included, are logging in under multiple browsers.

and devices...

[carl123uk]

We wouldn't have to if there was a pre login

[Barneylfc∗]

That's been shouted on here for years. Honestly makes no sense whatsoever that it hasn't been implemented

[swoopy]

Agreed. Pre-login. 1 window per membership number. If you attempt to pre-login on multiple devices you are automatically put to the back.

Simples

[red_Mark1980]

It would be a pre sale log in.

Pre login makes no sense.

[RMG]

Just thinking for the bulk sale, how many can I buy at 1 time?

Got 2 cards and want 2 per game.

You can purchase all the matches you qualify for and a maximum of 4 tickets per match.

Yep, West Ham do this I think and no doubt other clubs too.

[D🐶G]

How does a pre login help exactly? Is the issue not more with how the club sell and distribute tickets  rather than the system itself? Surely if the club introduced staggered sales for league games like they've done for the ACS then the system would take care of itself?

[Alf]

A pre login could allocate you a place in the queue and stop lurkers interfering in the sales.

[hoppyLFC]

Should have both, staggered sales and pre log in for each sale, how hard can it be ffs !

[Hij]

I'd be in favour of a pre-login as well. Otherwise it's that psychology thing where you think loads of others will be utilising multiple browsers, so you'll need to utilise them as well to get your chances back to 'normal' and the number of people doing it grows exponentially and the demand on the server grows.

It's a smart and logical suggestion so it won't be implemented.

For the sales on Tuesday and Wednesday, you need a purchase history. For Tuesday, it would stop people that don't have 13 or more logging in and bulking the queue up. Same with Wednesday for people with less than 4

[matt_lfc]

Aslong as a pre login let you log in once and not multiple times on different devices.

One of the problems is people having x amount of windows open and having x amount of devices on the queue page.

This means one person is trying for tickets but clogging up the queue meaning it looks like more people are trying for tickets than actually is.

You could eliminate both issues with one implementation. So it makes too much sense

As said earlier, it would be easier on their servers, less waiting time if Wednesday sale was split +7/8 in the morning +4 in the afternoon.
The tickets will be sold out by around 10am anyway.

My preference has always to stagger sales (+)15, (+)10, (+)5, but they have to keep 3 games during the whole season for free-for-all so not closed shop.

Only problem with staggered sales is all the 15+ get tickets on the Kop leaving nothing for everyone else for 10+ etc... Which people often moan about on here why have all the good seats come up now etc...

Where as, as the club have done it, its 13+ guaranteed a ticket, its then a free for all to get the Kop tickets available which is surely better as everyone with 13+ is guaranteed a seat somewhere in the ground.

Surely how it should be?

[Barneylfc∗]

Could pretty much just copy and paste every post from the sales threads over the last 4 or 5 years. It's the same conversation every year but the club obviously don't take any notice

[matt_lfc]

Not really when everyone is paying there membership fee per season, they expect a fair crack at tickets.
