Title: Away tickets ballot
Post by: chrisw1 on August 19, 2019, 04:23:52 PM
Does anyone know how the away tickets ballot works?

Crystal Plalce has been sold out for a while now but I can't see any link to the ballot.  Any ideas?

As a season ticket holder I had an e-mail from the club the other day asking me if I wanted to enter the ballot for tickets for the Palace game. So i would suggest you have a look in your junk/spam to see if this applies to everyone on the mailing list? Not sure what criteria you have to be to be invited to enter.

Hope this helps.

As a Claret member, I had an invite to the ballot for Spurs, nothing yet for Palace.

Thanks.  I got the Spurs e-mail but not had the Palace one yet.  It's a bit odd that there isn't a link on the main website or the pride rewards site.

I got an email inviting me to apply for the Palace ballot. Didn't get anything with Tottenham that I can recall.

Sounds like a shambles.  I though all season ticket holders were invited to join the ballot and you had to use Pride points to enter?

You dont need to be invited, it crops up on the away sales section.

I noticed that on the online ticket sales for Palace last night that you were able to enter the ballot from there.

OK thanks both.  It's not showing on my account which is a bit concerning.  I'll give them a call.

Cheers

I think the deadline for the Palace ballot was 5pm today.  Make sure you're logged in.

I was logged in and had checked the page regularly over the last week or so.

Not to worry but I need to find out what’s gone on.

I got the email and followed the link for the Palace ballot but when I logged on last night and today I landed on a message saying this was gone / closed.

You need to make sure your email address they have is up to date and the emails aren’t going to your trash/junk folders.

I’ve seen the email for both ballots so far and responded. Unbelievably I’ve won for Palace away.

It's very odd.  I got the Spurs e-mail but not Palace.  There has never been a link for the ballot on the 'buy away tickets page.'  Can I just double check is that where the ballot link shows?  Mine just has the usual boxes 'More Info' and either 'Sold out' or 'Coming Soon'

It’s a shame I can’t make it. Tickets will find a good home im sure.

I'll be happy to provide a home for them if they are still in the ticket orphanage!

The bad news is that if you've not set off yet, you're going to miss the kick off.

What’s worse J15-J13 on the M6 or the South Circular?

Selhurst Park is a shocker.

Although I'm taking a half day Friday just to be sure.

It's actually a fairly easy journey for me.  Train from Kettering to St Pancras, then straight from St Pancras to Norwood.  Easy.

Is it actually 200 loyalty points just to enter every ballot?  If so, that's a bit steep, I was expecting approx 50.

I live near London Bridge and still an absolute pain in the arse for me.
