PS Does this mean you're going to be getting marketing emails from Torquay for the next six years? I did press the option to decline these but who knows. I’m in the bar now getting over it. angieram and Dordogne-Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenageRam Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) This is all sounding too complicated. Why can't they sell them the same way as everyone else? I fear this will put a lot of people off from going. Thank god its on the tele. Edited October 27, 2022 by StevenageRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Well, that was a farce! We had to set up TWO separate accounts to get our tickets. By the time I'd set mine up the seat next to my hubby's had gone, so for the first time ever, we aren't together at the game. I pity the poor sot that gets the seat inbetween us! ??

I suspect it will be a case of grab the voucher, then go IMMEDIATELY to the Torquay website to claim the ticket, and just hope you are not on the cusp of the point of sell out! ... Oh wait... you can't, as you don't get the voucher until the following morning! Blimey... It is messy! ? *I hasten to add, this won't actually affect me, as I'm not going.

Mucker1884 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Does anyone know if this is typical of an away game at Torquay, or is this something they have specifically introduced for this game, having drawn a massive opponent in t' cup? ?♂️ Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 sorted a ticket for Torquay , i think , who bloody knows angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrh2254 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I am eligible to get a code but as I cant go will not be triggering this. I am worried that if I do I could be depriving another Derby Ram of a ticket and we will not achieve the 1,347 allocation. Is my assumption correct ? Or do they just keep allocating codes and then its a race to the finish on the Torquay website until 1,347 is reached? If it is then this should be made clear. Apologies if this has been covered before. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given no money will be taken at that point, won't loads of people get a code just in case they want to buy a ticket from Torquay later? Meaning in the end, hardly anyone will end up going? This is what I think is supposed to happen. Priority period gets you the code which gets you access to the Torquay ticket website. So 4,000+ away members will be eligible for a code but if they do not go straight to the website and buy tickets then they could sell out. 800+ tickets remaining now. jrh2254 and Carl Sagan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bizarre system. I suppose it quarantees the maximum ticket sales but some people are going to be disappointed if they get a code allocated thinking they can wait until the last minute to purchase a ticket. Would be interested to see a link to where this is actually spelt out. Would be good if this was on the DCFC official website! As I will not be going I will not be a requesting my code.

So am I but foreveram has clarified a code being allocated guarantees you only to take part in the race for tickets. If you are not quick enough, or cant pay by paypal then you will not get an electronic ticket. What an odd system - I think they need to explain this more clearly.

Foreveram Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 I think the problem is that for whatever reason the tickets are being sold by Torquay and not by Derby as usually happens. So Derby are allowing access to the Torquay tickets website through their normal priority allocations. Just wonder if Derby still get the usual percentage for selling away tickets. jrh2254 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the Torquay system just as odd as the DCFC system of paying a priority membership fee to get a head start in the race for away tickets. It favours those with enough spare cash, not diehard fans but with no spare cash to buy away membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd take a look at the rules ?. Interestingly, according to rule 22, section b sub section (i): In all matches prior to the Third Round of the Competition Proper the net gate receipts of each match shall be divided equally between the competing Clubs jrh2254 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It favours people that go regularly, if you couldn’t afford the membership fee I don’t think you would be able to travel to many away games. If there was no priority, many fans that travel regularly would not have got tickets for Liverpool. jrh2254 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
