The tickets should not be resaleable and anyone selling them should be banned for life.

We WERE offered more, but Stoke refused to pay up front. They wanted sale or return. Valencia said no and just gave us 2,300. Then, when Stoke realised that wouldn't be enough, they tried to get more tickets. Valencia refused, hoping that Stoke fans would buy tickets on line, in the home end, which many have, possibly resulting in some Stoke tickets going unsold. Obviously that hasn't happened, but Valencia are quite happy for our fans to sit in the home stands. So anyone who wants a ticket to see the game, will get one |

Have a fair and equitable system for distributing tickets so that everybody has an even chance to get one?At the start of the season you had the same option as everyone else to purchase a membership in the event of this very situation arising. And with 2300 tickets available they have implamented this system so i cant see how you can be disapointed or critical of stoke. explain a fair way of distributing 2300 to 21000 season tickets. it would be a complete lottery, people wouldnt be able to sit together, or even get tickets with the people they were traveling with. To say it isnt fair is crazy and the bottem line is if you buy a plat membership you get a ticket to anymatch you want |

I also love how people brand pat and plat plus members as glory hunters,with money to splash etc etc.
i know plat members who r stoke through and through and have prob been more games home and away than the people who brand them glory hunters .

To say it isnt fair is crazy and the bottem line is if you buy a plat membership you get a ticket to anymatch you want Leaving aside your obvious flawed logic that allowing people with more money to go to the front of the queue is "fair," in fact Plat members may well not have been guaranteed a ticket for this game - there are two planes full of people who paid even more than them ahead of them. |

football's heart died a long time ago. Another nail was hammered into its soul with this system.
It's totally against what football is all about - the working man's ballet.
How many mistakes are certain people allowed to make at Stoke?

The whole system is a real let down for fans, whether they have to fork out for any kind of priority or whether they simply can't justify it. Fans get shafted either way. I'm just pleased that Stokies have had the temerity to get tickets from another source so it reduces the disappointment. No thanks to the club again of course  |

Its 30 bloody quid, thats a quid for each week of the season!! if anyone can afford to go to valencia which is going to cost say £300 to £500, to say they cant afford the £30 to ensure tickets for ties like this is just plain ridicules. I am also aware that all plat members have got tickets who wanted them |
