Hope the club haven't cocked up by not letting season ticket holders get extra tickets - my son wants to come with me but does not have a varied booking history so that rules him out

I tried to get tickets for my daughter and myself online yesterday. I wasn't able to buy hers because I wasn't able to assign a reference to her. I phoned the ticket office who set up an account for her while I was on the phone and I was able to buy them over the phone. They said as they could see I had bought tickets for the Bournemouth and Leicester games they were able to do this. Fair play to them for this but there does seem to have been a glitch in the online booking.

Just purchased tickets.  Plenty still available.  Most of the seat plan is still green.

I think you have to wait until after 9am even when buying online so that you don't get an advantage over people buying in person.

What an ordeal....I have 4 ST and have on many occasions bought for my dad / brother / partner to join us (without using any other ref number).  Need to get 7 for QF (also bought 7 for bournmouth).  It has took me 4 transactions to do this 1 for STs, 1 over phone, and 2 online this morning (this morning 1st transaction it didnt let me link to 1 ref number I created....an hour later it did!)
Phone line constantly engaged and online was place in queue that took an hour!  Good news though all relatively close together and will be near Brigada bunch ;D
Looking at the seats sold todate - there must have been better criteria....they might be selling on the door again!

I'm not convinced we'll beat the attendance from our last home Quarter-Final at this rate.

I had a glitch with the Online booking yesterday when booking Man Utd away tickets. They went on sale to those with 9 or more aways.  I have 9.  It read that I didn't have the correct privileges. Didn't have time to ring the ticket office.  Attempted today and booked. 

I also had an issue with my West Brom tickets.  It allowed me to purchase a seat. But not my own! I had to ring up and purchase.

Surely the mighty bog-eyes will bring more than that alone?

Daft twats. They'll never get a refund on their season tickets this far in.

I've had this issue aswell. Could get mine and PWS but it would not let me assign one to Freddy even though he has been to every Cup game. Even today I could not assign one to him and he has also been to every home game apart from Hull City, the poor little sod. I had to use another reference instead so have got 3 seats but the near-perfect ones I previously tried to book on Wednesday and Thursday had gone. Still we've finally got our tickets.

And yet I had no trouble getting one on my little un's reference, and he's only been to two games ever. I got three Parma tickets primarily under his number, and reassigned two from there, so they got posted to him. I wonder if that made a difference?

Total joke I rang 124 times to get my kids tickets today from my mobile to keep getting "line busy" bleep. My wife was in a online queue from 9am she gave up at 11-30.
I always buy 3 tickets for all home games we go to which is about 10-12. Season yet can't for this one.
Wife finally got through at 3-30 and got 2 tickets in Holte upper for them close to me.
Thank god we haven't been a regular top four club in the champions league if this is what we have to put with.
10-12 home games for me 4,000 miles

Aha.... a clue at last. We now know that the attendance for the Parma game was at least three.
