Ticket Query

[newryvillain]

I managed to snag a ticket for the Barcodes match on Saturday week, but was hoping to buy 2 and take my son over.

The ticket site would only let me purchase ‘one ticket per event’

Does anyone know why this is, and what would I need to do to be able to buy two tickets for future matches?

Thanks in advance!

Season ticket holders can buy additional tickets for fans with a Fan ID. You can then assign extra tickets to them

You don’t have to be a season ticket holder to order multiple tickets. I think you need to add eligible people to your “network”. You can “add a friend” as long as you have their membership ID. Then you can order multiple tickets and edit the order to allocate the ticket to someone in your network. It’s stupid and clumsy and drives me mad every time.

 Unless anyone has a better approach to getting additional home tickets that they can share on here?

Yes that's it.  Get your son a Villa ID number then you can allocate a second ticket to him

When you say that 'you can order multiple tickets' do you mean that if you want to buy a ticket for you and a ticket for a friend or family member, you would need to process this by transacting two separate orders?

No.

If you have a network of friends/family linked to your profile - they have to be members with an ID - when you order tickets, you can select, say, 4 tickets and when you try to check out you will receive a message saying you have too many tickets. You can then edit your order and allocate the extra tickets ( one each) to members of your network.

No.  So long as you both have ID's you can put two tickets in your basket.  But before you check out you need to allocate the second one to a valid ID (in this case your sons).

Not sure this will help. I have a “trusted relationship “ with the two people I sit with( my brother & my mate) . To get this I had to email the ticket office with my client ref number and state I was happy for them ( client refs names and  their email details they signed up with) to order tickets for me . They had to do the same . We are all season ticket holders , but my mate who isn’t has done this with his other half and worked okay.

I am a Claret Member and have a fanID. I would like to pay for a ticket for a mate but not go myself. Going by above posts if I get the mate's FanID and and it to my account as a friend, I can do this and mail them the ticket. Is that correct?

Edit. And if I did this, does it count as 'purchase history' for me?

This doesn't directly answer your question, but in this situation I guess you could simply transact the buying of the ticket for yourself, as you normally would, and then email the ticket to your mate - on the basis that when he goes through the turnstile on the day of the match, no-one is going to ask your mate to verify his identity against the name that happens to be on the ticket.

I've ordered tickets for several people, most recently yesterday and I've never had to do this.

I don't think you can do this BE.  Certainly not in the 'Calret' sales window.  You could do it when it gets to general sale, but then what's the point?

edit - as Flamingo says just buy it and e-mail it to him.

Also worth noting that you can only buy for others if they are also eligible in that window. So in BE's situation he would only be able to buy a ticket on his mate's ref (assuming his mate isn't a member) on general sale.

Me neither

The exception to this is ST holders can buy additional tickets a few days before they go on general sale.  So I can get tickets for friends (with IDs) before they can
