Cant believe we are 2 days away and still nothing from the club regarding tickets i think this ballot has been a right fuck up why wait from last thurs to today to sell these extra tickets

Nothing on official site to confirm if sold out or not yet either. Sure i read somewhere ballot winners had until 5 30 today to secure tickets? What happens then if any left???

i'm having anightmare getting some tickets, i rang them up three times yesterday and once today but the people there dont know anything about the ticket situation. All they keep saying is that theres a ballot, but when i asked where i was on the list they didnt have a clue, so i dont know if i am near to getting tickets or not. I am realy annoyed and frustrted with them especially as for the semi they did an ok job, especially with the waiting list which people knew they were on. I still dont even know if i'm in the ballot or if my email has got through as no one knows the situation at the office. Hopefully, alot of people will forget to buy there tickets by tonight and then a load more emails will be sent out and everyone here will get one, fingers crossed.

The long and short of it is that the tickets went on sale too late. They could have gone on sale the week of the Wolves game - even if it was at the back end of that week, instead of the following Monday.

The online 'problems' have stemmed from the extensive checks they have done, rather than designing a totally live system that does all of the checks at the point of sale. They do exist. I work with a guy who used to work for a ticketing company and he told me (after he finished laughing at what i'd told him about how the tickets/checks had been done) that Everton have used a totally live system for years!

I wish I could say that we'd learn for next time but if it takes 147 years, I doubt we'd still be here and football probably would be a totally different game altogether!
