If you have an Albion friend, now is the time for that friendship to end.

The club cant win which either way they sell tickets for these sort of games.

In this instance theyve done it the fairest way possible in my opinion.
Season ticket holders get priority & then the more often you go the better your chances

It's the correct process.
When we get to the semis, it's important the process is as robust.

And the Final, and the Community Shield.

And of course next season's league opener against MK Dons

It's something of a slightly special/different game for us - FA Cup/quarter final/at home.
For the Bitters it's their cup final - their biggest game for years - which is why we had the moans about them not being able to get enough tickets even before the tickets went on sale! Have they done this for any other away game this season?
This game? They don't take many to away games, they've only got to catch the train/metro 1 or 2 stops, they have the chance to be part of a big moment in their history...so obviously they all think it's their special right and they deserve to be there.
It's the Bradford factor..."we should have more tickets because we're small/cuddly/everybody loves us...we should be on TV 'cos we're the underdog/a comeback story/we've got a manager who's a character/everybody loves us" etc......
Because "cup fever" has invaded their town they think the whole world thinks the same.
Deluded.

Expect the game won't sell out, as they have set the policy so that quite a lot of fans cannot (or will not) go.

Chances don't come into it.

Presumably Albion are still bringing their 10,000 fans they said they would.

Isn't it on general sale now? I'm sure we'll sell it out - there's 6 days until the game - everyone who wants a ticket has plenty of time surely?

I refer you to my post above at 10.15pm. I'd like to go and take my wife. The club won't sell her a ticket (despite her having been in the past).

I can't be bothered to go on my own, so now neither of us are going. I could buy a ticket for myself right now.

If you'd like to explain how I should be trying harder to buy two tickets then I'm all ears.

That's just them on the coaches. Some of them started walking straight after yesterday's game

if shes gone in past im guessing she has a client ref, as far as im awear tickets are now sale to anyone with a booking history.
Take your ticket back & get 2 together.
Cant see the problem .

From the clubs point of view they always bang on about giving a 'client' reference. You have history you can buy a ticket.

Maybe if tickets are still available during the week. season ticket holders may be allowed to purchase extra tickets. They not going to buy for the unwashed are they?

I have a spare reference if you need it.
