The same obviously applies to me ...


Just thought I'd throw my hat in the ring, I'm also desperate for any spare. Thanks.

You may be able to get your own tickets lads. From what I saw at the ground this morning and have read on here the tickets don't seem to be in as much demand as you might expect!

under 3k point kk due to my stupid fucking ban i had so i wont hold my breath

I wanted to be behind the goal again but I got my own way for the semi.
So block 130 at 85 sniffs.
In and out in a thrice at 0915. No punters around when we left.

Got them, block 533. Took 7 hours of queuing, so I'd be tempted to use the phones in future and pay the bit on top. I imagine Monday will be mental as the points drop again.

Stoke haven't apparently sold all theirs by using some new invention called the interweb. That'll never take off, not when you can have everyone queuing for 7, yes 7, ticket windows.

There's a guy I know on FB who's selling two at £350 each, he says they're the 2nd most expensive type! Seems a bit much to me!

But Stoke dont sell depending on attendance, they have 'privaleged' members - platinum plus, platinum, gold etc that you pay extra for - and then the normal sales open to season ticket holders.

Saying that though, the club do need to think up better strategies for the future - it will only get busier!

For a start yesterday afternoon there were only 8 of the 10 windows opened, the Club could surely also have opened up the ticket office above the City shop and had another 6 windows open there - 16 windows open; that would have halved queue times for a start.

Surely that's not so difficult for them to arrange?

They opened ticket office earlier than planned this morning at about half nine with 6/10 windows and started selling from other windows as staff arrived.

Managed to get through on the phone after a 20 minute wait. Block 547 for me. They opened the phone lines at 9.30 even though they weren't going to start until 11.

Wasn't aware of that - can't see what's going on on the outside when you're stuck on the in! I realised the queue kept moving every so often but thought it was just the stewards shuffling us up. I was number 209 in the queue so on that basis they're serving about 100 supporters per hour.
