Match Ticket Thread - Spares/Requests - FACE VALUE OR LESS ONLY!

[Obes]

Sat in an imaginary queue for way too long this morning, long after tickets will have been all sold. Monumental waste of time and crap system.

I suppose it will be similar to start next season as well even with the increased capacity.

i think the demand was always going to be crazy

tickets have been selling out on the day the membership priority sale goes on ever since 21/22. the only good seats I've been able to buy in this time have been season ticket resale tickets. otherwise it was back row of the bullens or gwladys for an actual ticket on sale

so it would make sense that i's hard to get tickets now, and i think a membership unfortunately doesnt guarantee you that anyway. there are over 30,000 paying members supposedly, so with only around 5k tickets for sale each game it's always going to be hard.

what is concerning though is just how few are available and how many tickets can be bout on tout websites

i have no problem paying the membership, it's a money maker for the club and generally gives you an edge to buy tickets. the issue isn't that but ticketmaster being overrun with bots

they need to do something about it if they can, cos the demand will stay up for bramley moore and so the touts will keep buying them. it could be that tickets just don't become available to anyone besides touts if this keeps up, even past the end of goodison

The people's club don't care about touts, just as long as they get their £35s.

Beyond ridiculous still in the queue since 9am, it was a simple process until recently. They really should have had another tier to separate attendees and long-term members from people chasing the occasion.

Everton simply don't care about fans or fairness, even RS have fairer system. Where you can enter ballot for tickets, if you have an L postcode. All this nonsense started, because Everton decided to sell too many season tickets, they shouldn't of sold more than 25 000, arguably 20 000.

Everton are the touts. You should have a problem with paying for membership. Liverpool's membership is quite clear, it's gives you chance to enter ballot for games, your not guaranteed a ticket. I know RS who have got multiple tickets through ballot, I know RS who haven't got 1 in 3 years. Membership in past before at Everton, gave you chance to chose whereabouts you sat and your were guaranteed a ticket, for bigger games. I'd just use Stub Hub for smaller games. Everton have sold 30 000 memberships, knowing theres only 5000 seats to be sold. Clubs can easily stop touting if they want to, when United played Rangers in 2010, United fans were told if they sold their tickets to Rangers fans they'd be banned for life. I knew an Arsenal fan, who got his season ticket taken off him, because he was selling it to tourists. Everton will play dumb, while knowing only too well it's going on.

City game sold out in 20 minutes for membership holders so if anyone has a spare it would be much appreciated, thanks

Sold out in FOUR MINUTES. Computer takes roughly 12 minutes to update under load.

Joke isn't it. In the queue right at 9am and I've just got to half of that 'bar' at 10.38am!

Went in queue at 9-57am. Bought at 10.03am. Got just 1 ticket cos no chance of two together.

We are not the People club anymore. We were only called that by Moyes when he first arrived in 2002.
In what way to the club today portray that image? We are getting like the other PL clubs who value tourists more than their own fans.

 

[COYBConnor]

hey all is there anyone with two tickets for the Man City game for me and my dad

 

[Blue Neon]

Had 11 Credits each for me and the young lad last year. ( Both long members ) This year only managed the B,mouth FA Cup game. Just gave up on trying to get TWO tickets somewhere near to keep an eye on him. If the infrastructure / parking isn't properly sorted for start of next season, fans won't want the hassle and attendances will start to fall leaving more tickets available. Added with more matches televised / streamed live, the true fans will hopefully get tickets a lot easier.

I don't think the demand will stay unless the club is doing really well, once the novelty wears off and your paying even higher ticket prices for games that are on TV or have little meaning.

Shame we cant ask away clubs to take a lower allocation next few games.

Why not just introduce either - previous purchase history required or use the years membership data for priority? Gets rid of bots then

They’ve got this data from the ST waiting list. They could literally just say “1+ membership from previous seasons”

Another thing is it's gonna be harder for fans, to pass on season tickets, when they can't go, with new digital tickets. So there will be more on resale site. An awful lot of season tickets are passed around family members at Everton, I know plenty of people who use family members season tickets. How that's going to with new system I don't know.

If current parking ban stays, I think a lot of demand will drop, even for bigger games. Currently fans can park 5 10 minutes away from GP, get in car and be away North, South, or down East Lancs pretty quickly. Even Arsenal who have been better than us for years and have a far better transport system, that serves Emirates attendances dropped after initial Emirates buzz.
