What they are doing it trying to stop away fans buying tickets which is something we always moan about.  But you're right, they're much less bothered about them buying the GA+ seats and I saw people getting kicked out of Lower Grounds seats in the DE stand on Sat.

There should be a better way of handling situations like your and previously there would have been an option to do it the next day over the phone, this is the first season in a long time when tickets have sold this quickly.

Something is amiss somewhere then, get onto them on Twitter or email to find what’s going on and with any luck they’ll sort you a regular ticket and refund the TV seats.
Fair play to you for travelling from Mexico, I hope you’re rewarded with a decent game!

Thanks. I can't find an email for the ticket office and they will most likely only fob me off anyway. My previous experinces with them have been infuriating to say the least. We may be a CL club on th pitch, but we are League 1 at best off it.

The whole Online ticketing system isn’t fit for purpose.

In a few short days, we’ll know who we’re playing in the CL, and for me, who our first away game will be.

They’ve assigned people “points”, so will there be a different criteria for those who travelled away in Europe last season? Or just release details ridiculously late again, completely oblivious to us having to make travel plans.

I dread to think.

I’m hoping to get a ticket for a CL game as some sort of moment of catharsis after many years of shit, but unless I can somehow get a ST I won’t be paying the prices for tickets they’re charging, no chance.

From what I'm seeing, Stu, every new season now ignores the past. Loyal supporters? How much are you willing to be exploited pay?

Just looked and initially every part of the ground was shaded out, so no tickets available.
Refreshed page and only area available was K5. Then pressed best available and was offered one in middle Trinity.
Refreshed again and now most stands have availability.
Prices are a piss take really though, I’ll probably end up getting one as got a few wolves mates and we’ll go for a drink before but I’ve got a mind to keep my powder dry and take my chances with a champions league ticket (s) for which I’ll probably have to remortgage the house!

We are hoping to do the CL game as well as the Wolves game but god knows what kind of ticketing nonsense we will be facing for that one. We will find out on Thursday I suppose.

If it's an away game we will fly there and go in the home end (That's where is speaking Spanish together will come in handy!.)

Probably easier than being a Villa member and buying a ticket in the Holte End!!

People in England are just getting their tat parcel. I haven't had mine here in North Catalonia. Maybe yours will turn up soon.

I was able to buy and assign a ticket for SWMBO and one for myself. She became a member a couple of months ago and had no booking history (although she has been before to see us draw against Stoke when Bent was playing).

Ok so that makes even less sense now then. Ffs.

What I'm saying is it worked for me for Arsenal. I was 80th in the queue and got two seats in Trinity B2 (there was basically bugger all choice anywhere though). I was expecting to have to pay for brown* food and four pints like you to be honest. Not cool.

*Demitri said the chips were burnt so I've gone for between orange and black.

There was.no queue when I logged in, but each time I selected two seats and tried to allocate one to my missus,.it came up in red letters that she is entitled to 0 tickets for this match.. So we bought TV on back row with a shitty view at a total cost of £380 for two tickets. (with the wasted membership fees).

An expensive game for us on top of the 4 grand plus.its already costing us. I just feel it's unfair and not right.

It’s not about the membership it’s about your booking history. So If you’ve attended a home game in the last seven years.
