Topic: Members Sales

[mighty magpie]

As ever the sales page is zero help, so is this additional sale (ie from now til KO) only open to people who registered interest?

Or is it back to all members after this initial sale now?

Registered only if anything like prague or cup games are to go by

all members, they couldn't close the site down indefinitely as they have other sales going on etc.

So once they open the website after this has been on for two hours say, it will be all members

[wild_wild_wild]

ooof, just went down to 16mins... 1148 ahead of me...

[ScubaSteve]

My friends link just got 10k in the queue in this, so enough people registered during that 24hr period anyway 

Yeah exactly. 24h time period to register is more than enough

Will need to try and get one on the refresh now in a few days

cool, so no stress today and can take my chances the rest of the week then!

I don't mean locking the site down, I mean eligible to buy.

Really don't think so. Prague couldn't be viewed on ticket page if you didn't register but who knows.

[Ab125]

Sold out!

sorry misread

[Roy Cropper]

i was 4k in the queue and over an hour.
fingers crossed for the local ballot

[walterwhite]

Sold out!

A friend was in the 190s and sold out seems odd haven't seen that with other sales

[owens_2k]

Initial queue number at 11:00am - 5732, queue number at 11:13 - 5165. Is it me or is it slower than usual?

[RebeccaLFC]

Thats been drawn already on Friday!

[AnfieldTipster]

6604 for me today. More than am hour but I am on a dodgy coffee shop wifi at the moment if that makes a difference. Queue is going a lot slower than usual

Local Ballot already done.

Do the links mean less bots and more humans actually buying so throughput is lower?

If that queue position isn't good enough then these sales are basically a waste of time. It suggests that there were only enough tickets to satisfy the 200 or so who got straight in (all bots most likely).

But don't worry, they will all be for sale on resale sites by now.

Yeah unique links have been good for me so far with low positions around that, so with 1500 odd tickets today seems odd it was sold out.

Only thing is now can they figure who checked out from the unique links and logged back in and bought again I know someone who got in almost immediately got 4 and is now hoovering up the ST returns

[RainbowFlick]

in theory. but also you have to remember a tout will have multiple memberships, maybe about 20. therefore he has 20 links, and if any one of those gets through they can just loop buying tickets.

possible chances of other loopholes and bypasses always too. no system is foolproof unfortunately.

The biggest flaw is allowing someone to log back in once they've bought once. They really need to get back on top of kicking people out once the transaction is completed. As you say, nothing to stop a bot hoovering up once one of the links gets in.

Unsure if any bypasses still exist, but I bet they do.

[swoopy]

I also think the way this ticket system works of only basketing one ticket at a time is flawed too. Once you've got one in a basket, you can't go back to the sales page and 'choose seats for me' to get another one. You'd have to manually select it from the block which just isn't going to happen with so many people clicking 'choose seats for me'. So you have to complete the first transaction before you can try to get a second .. which from that point of view is good that it doesn't kick you out.

As others have said, local ballot has already been done, I somehow managed to get a £9 one [it's been a long time since I last had one of those, Genk in the CL maybe!?]

[Roy Cropper]

great. So i presume that i didn't receive any email about that means i was unsuccessful too.

[AnfieldTipster]

So I have just had a wait time of 37 mins. Now it has shot up to 51 mins wait time???

If those bypasses don't work anymore, no doubt there are new ones that do. I think we've reached the point where anything apart from a guaranteed sale should be a ballot, with 'normal' late sales just for something like 48 hours before the match. If the extent of the issues were more widely known, there would be reputational damage for the club. They are charging for memberships but the process, outside of ballots is rigged. Luckily I'm in the ACS for cups as league games have been a write off for me this season.

[AnfieldTipster]

Now more than an hour wait time again. God knows what is going on

[ABJ]

Queue position 555 but then sold out, not a chance that everyone that got in bought 3 on average, no way. 

[Schmarn]

Wait time going up is a classic sign of people going back in to buy more or bypassing the queue. Although I thought it had sold out so not sure why they would bother.

By the way, how do people know that there were 1,500 available today?

[wild_wild_wild]

odd orange block popping up for the f5 gang...

[RebeccaLFC]

just got one in the ARU! woop!

[Mr.Savage]

Hallmap anyone?

[redgriffin73]

what actually is the difference between the two? this should be pinned somewhere!

Forwarding is to someone on your F&F and they get your credit.

Distribute is via email and 13+ members get two "free hits" a season for league games where they can do this and keep the credit.

[dundeejoe]

fucking shite site blocked in under 10 mins

Was posted it’s been deleted??

[lfcrule6times]

Is there still no way of being able to see if the ticket carries a credit or not? I usually check to see what it says on the seating plan but missed it this time.

[swoopy]

This is such a massive problem with the system too. It's shite.

It'll be on your confirmation email if it's a Season ticket seat.

It should do it’s not a late sale?

I’m maybe wrong though.
