Missing arsenal isn’t great for me. Istanbul Tuesday to Thursday, Berlin the following Tuesday to Friday. Essentially only have 3 days at my laptop and the morning of the game. Looked a good few Norwich up
This morning which is encouraging

No chance, it wont drop to Members with 3+ let alone down to all members.

Unlikely any of our game vs top 6 will or the last home game, last time I saw any drop was bout 2 years ago vs Chelsea and I think that dropped from 4+ to 2+.

Unfortunately with the team doing so well this is just how it will be for a while with increased interest, plus more people trying to push their own credits up to 13+ and get into the guaranteed sale and not have to go through this late sales/refresh nonsense.

This is one of the biggest issues, the number of matches required should have been 14 or 15 this season. Back in the days the 13 sale was 50% of the tickets and the other 50% for everyone else... now its more like 70-80% and only a handfull for anyone else.
That said they should have something like, 15 - 8 - 4 - free for all..

Agreed completely they surely can’t allow it to not be raised next year as even fewer will be available. I mentioned earlier but I have seen numerous people on Facebook groups I follow now setting up raffles to win hospitality tickets. Which they purchase then make the money back on through £10-£12 entry fees but pocket the credit so they can get into the 13+ sale for next year. It’s amazing the lengths people are now going too and until the club introduce a complete overhaul of the ticket system it wont improve.

To be fair I think when I have seen people doing this recently they are actually hospitality season ticket holders rather than bought the game individually. I worked the numbers out and I reckon the guy I say other day would only need to do it for 6 games to cover the likely £3,500 be will have paid for the ticket. Then you are getting to go to the other games for free. The thing is a lot of people sell on the Carlsberg Dugout tickets when they have a season ticket and probably only costs them £120 a game but the club sell them by the game at £300 plus. So they claim they are selling below face value selling at like £200 a game but really making a profit. And the club allow you to change the name on their portal and send electronic / printable tickets. Double standards completely.

Can someone answer me a question. I was lucky enough to go from zero credits to all six games available to me in the last bulk sale. Will the Arsenal, Spurs, City or Everton games ever open up to me as a member with no credits last year for the additional members sale? I wasn’t expecting to see Arsenal at four credits so I can only assume all those mentioned will be?

No.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Utd, City, Everton and the last game of the season will stay on 4+ credits needed.

Will November's bulk sale be based on credits from last season only? Or do games from this season count?

Welshred · « **Reply #7138 on:** August 11, 2019, 07:33:52 pm »

Everton mid-week in December may drop but not to all members.

If it was still very much a 50/50 split between guaranteed and non-guaranteed members. I'd tend to agree but seeing how most tickets went in the guaranteed bulk sale.. I think it will stay at 4+

Looking at how many were left once the 13+ sale had finished, no way is it still a 5K/5K split.

Way more people on 13+ compared to when the bulk sales 1st started 8 years ago.

Someone could have been lucky enough to sit refreshing and pick up tickets. There are more on 13+. The limited number for the rest of us mortals proves that

Welshred · « **Reply #7147 on:** August 12, 2019, 01:43:49 pm »

I'd say more like 80%. There really weren't many left after the guaranteed sale.

It's possible, but extremely unlikely. Those games have dropped lower than 4 in the past, but generally when we are a bit shit.

Because it's supposed to be set at 5k, and in that case they should have increased the requirement back to 14+ or 15+ not took tickets from the free for all pot. Unless I missed when this was changed?

I'll ask.

There is not a way to set it at 5k though. It could be set at approximately 5k at best. There is not going to be an exact 5k on a certain credit count.
I have not seen the 5k guaranteed mentioned since before the new stand.

Yes, but people are talking about 20-30% more tickets - that isn't a rounding issue and as the tickets are guaranteed, they would have to round under the 5k.

The total number of tickets in the members sale was reduced during the expansion - causing the credit req to rise to 14 - it then went back down to 13 when they put the tickets back in the pot the following season. As far as I'm aware, the split shouldn't have changed - if more people have 13 credits - the req should have gone up - not take from the GA pot.

There definitely seems to be more on 13+ this July sale gone, as there was very little left when I sorted myself out after about an hour. As it has been stated on here before all tickets (bar restricted view tickets) are on sale for those with 13+.

Then those in the sales Wednesday/Thursday stating there was hardly any tickets.

That would be my experience too to be honest, never experienced queues like that tuesday before.

This could be a number of variables, though. It may well be that there are more who qualify but I have found the below to be the reason it has got progressively worse.

- Qualifying members using multiple browsers/devices. And/or getting other people to simulataneously join the queue for them.
- Non qualifying members taking queue space.

Plus winning the European Cup will increase demand for new members or non members who don’t understand the buying process.

Bring back the phone & window sales I say. As much as people moan I’d much rather have them options available once again for a number of reasons.

Those reasons have nothing at all do do with the low number of tickets left for the rest after the 13+ sales.

As a total guess, I'd say it's the lowest number they can go to where they can guarantee everyone a ticket.
It was raised to 14 during the Main Stand build as they couldn't guarantee everyone on 13 would get a ticket. They cant guarantee everyone on 12 gets one.
I could very well be wrong, but I doubt they've just picked 13 for the sake of it.
