Because it doesn't work having three ways of buying. It's almost impossible to buy online once the window opens so at least people know they have to ring to queue.

It does work it's just that it doesn't work very well when there are so many of us chasing so few tickets. No system would. I'd rather be logging on and keep pressing refresh than to ring up, find I'm number xxxx in the queue only to find out they're all sold when I get to the front.

If the system did that great, but it doesn't. My view is that until it works properly it shouldn't be used in these specific situations. I wasn't sure if was yourself who said memberships weren't oversold. Should there be a limit in your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the system working, I can only speak from personal experience. I logged on bang on 10am and it said they were sold out. I refreshed a few times until seats appeared to be available so I tried to select them but, it turned out they weren't (probably because someone else was selecting them a millisecond before I did). So I rinsed and repeat until I was able to complete a purchase at 10:04. From my fortunate experience, I'd rather do that that ring up and wait in a queue.

YoxallRam Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I’ve seen a lot of fans selling their tickets on Twitter because they can’t attend. They’ve bought the ticket to sell on and have another game added to their customer ID. If you can’t get a ticket, don’t buy one off someone else. You’re just making the situation worse for yourself.

DerbyRevolution Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 How can memberships be oversold? Yes there are more members than Cambridge tickets, but every member will get a Liverpool or MK Dons tickets Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 16 minutes ago, Foreveram said: How many is a lot It's not just on Twitter. I have locally come across several supporters who don't have away memberships who have bought away tickets, including Fleetwood from friends who weren't going to the game. I have no idea who the away members are just those who bought the tickets from them. It's another flaw in the system but how an earth do you stop it? Simply you can't.

Yes there are more members than Cambridge tickets, but every member will get a Liverpool or MK Dons tickets it is £50 and you don't know how many memberships there are. Is it fair to pay £50 to get 2 more tickets over a season than you would have done without it. It;s a Dog Eat Dog World so i have to try get at least 5 games bought to have a chance for next season.

No one is buying more tickets than they’re allowed to (surely that wouldn’t even be possible). They are just buying the tickets they’re entitled to and then selling them on to someone else. I don’t agree with the practice but I don’t know how you can prevent it. Fortunately, I suspect it’s not widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
