Also folks can anyone tell me if there has been any queues before the ticket office opens for tickets.
Or because you can do them over the phone or online has this cut that out, I'm up for the Qpr game and am staying overnight to go to ticket office in person weds morning to get mine and kids all together.

This is what happened to me in 2010. I ended up driving to B6 to buy in person.

Well they aren't are they.  I realise the above poster is having a few problems but why should te many thousands of people who've had no problem with the website or ringing up the phone system suffer because 1 individual is having a few issues. (you can of course throw this back in my face when I come on here ranting and raving about how shit the website is when I'm eligible!!) ;-)

Agreed. But this is not one of those times.

I don't mind returning to the days of postal orders and stamped addressed envelopes providing the price of tickets is 10/6d.

When some people are paying £53-63 per ticket for this, I'd have thought the last thing they need is a hefty fuel expense by travelling to VP if they live outside the Midlands.

took me about an hour on line - never got an unengaged tone on the phone.  I reckon if you go online in the middle of night...it should be better!

Surely if any of the H&V family are going in person to get tickets they can get a couple on behalf of folks like AV82EC, if the relevant details are passed over?  There's no way that people should have to drive hundreds of miles for this.

I rang up just after 9am on Saturday morning and got through straight away. Maybe I was lucky. The suggestion about everyone queueing up is ridiculous.

When you are trying to buy online are you selecting the block number - I had the same problem initially.

When I first tried I went straight to the pricing category and then checkout and I got the same message regarding non availability.

If I remember correctly you have to choose the block number first

yeah we dont want to go back the dark ages of queueing all night
i remember 1977 ,,had been to all the home games but didnt buy programmes
and ticket allocation criteria was the number of programme vouchers you had
ended up queueing all night when they went on general sale
only for loads of people pushing in at the front about 8 am
turnstile opened at 9am to sell tickets ,,,,,,,,all gone within 20 minutes
i ended up hitch hiking down there ,,,,bunging the turnstile bloke about 50p
and jumping the train back
