I know there is plenty of debate about how many tickets there will be left. So what time are people going to queue at ? My next door neighbour says he is leaving Leek at 5 am !!!
I am season ticket so will have my ticket by then however I wish to buy 3 more to cater for my mrs and 2 kids. I then wish to swap my ticket to sit with them.
So i hope they will do the swap and sell me 3. Im not sure ill be there until 8 ish though ! Will everything fall into place for me ?? !
and again what time are people gonner queue at ?? Not too early I hope, you l ruin it for me

lol i find all this gloryhunting crap fantastic. In essence the brit is half full of glory hunters who wernt there 3-4 years ago I wish some people would give it a rest and may I add iv been a season ticket holder for 7 years now and im genuinely glad of new fans coming to see the club but this situation is the same as that of our nigh on or even over 100% increase in attendences

I guess i would be classed as a glory hunter in some eyes.
When I lived in stoke I had a season ticket, last game as a season ticket holder was running onto the pitch against leicester.
Since then, I have only made it to a few games at the brit, but try to get to all away games near me in london where i live.
So would I be a glory supporter? Do i deserve to struggle to get a ticket for wembley, even though I endured the years of dross prior to our promotion season as a ST holder?
I remember 12000 being a good crowd, surely if all those people without ST now are glory supporters, then so are everyone with ST who didnt have one when we were rubbish. We have 21000 ST holders now apparently, when i was one we barely had half as many, yet i am punished for it.
Also, i am unable to go to stoke for 6am and queue for a wembley ticket, instead I have to rely on the wholly unreliable and expensive phone lines or use online sales, which may not even be available and will most likely crash.

I'm in a similar situation to you oggyoggy. I'll be relying the phone lines from 9 am in the morning racking up another phone bill.
Bayern, I think it's made a lot easier for Bolton because of the significantly lower number of season ticket holders, thus allowing them to buy 2 or 3 each solving a lot of problems. The way we're doing it is the fairest and most efficent.

" You should have all had season tickets " !! Don't make me laugh. Can people not accept that circumstances are different for some people than their own !! and besides if I want to get tickets for my kids who are only 3 and 6 thats my business. If you want to call a 3 year old a glory hunter so be it - but its a bit ridiculous.
By the way I have had a season ticket for nearly 20 years - do I deserve one ?
I might not get the tickets but I am certainly going to try because I would love my little boy to be able to say in years to come this was his first game.

I think there should be enough as most if not all of the early buy dates are covered by season tickets.

What I'm on about is all the info is coming from Bolton, Bolton fans can buy them online etc. Ie they are organised, on the ball, giving out all the info. Whislt we are scraping round waiting for the little tid bits or for Bolton to tell you. It's been a shambles. |

The problem is all the schemes. Works great until the general sale starts and then you get scheme members going again to get tickets so they can sit with someone and then youve got the original tickets being touted around.
They should have justy issued first to season tickets and then General sale which may still cause a similar situation but not on the same scale because youd have more time to exchange etc.

Simple to implement and will make a bit of extra cash. Exploitation yes but fook me it'd be a little gold mine. We all know they do their research on here so no doubt they now will. Platinum Plus wouldn't have gone to those people attending 80% games if it wasn't debated so heavily on here. Likewise, the ability to purchase with Platinum Plus and Platinum plus an additional ST holder. |

;D Sheep shagging twattock! (That's for crazypotter btw) ;)I would just love for once Stoke to be organised so people won't get pissed off, yes they can't please everyone but they could make for information available, sooner so it helps people. But then they don't like doing that. I wonder if the club have thought of something like this? Simple to implement and will make a bit of extra cash.

Twister for me please!  |
