Fill the One call next saturday

[sw19stag]

Bang on Al.

See you at MK?

[Amber Andy]

How can you fill the Mill when
(a) the club ticket website is not an accurate reflection of tickets sold.
(b)nobody knows how many tickets were for sale in the first place.
There could be 1000 or 4000 left, nobody seems to know.
Its an utter shambles and not a good reflection on the club.

Surely people intending to buying tickets don't need to know how many are left, or how many already sold for that matter. If they want to come to the game they will take steps to buy a ticket. If they leave it too long and all the tickets are sold, that's their fault not the clubs.

[sw19stag]

So you go to the great online ticket shambles, and it says there are about 50 tickets left.

Really?????

People might want to sit with their mates/family and get tickets but assume it's nearly sold out.
Because that is what it says.

How about they stop taking the piss with this half witted half arsed attempt to be professional and ask Lincoln how to do it.

The point is Amber, that when this last 50 or so are sold overnight, at some point, tomorrow, there will be hundreds of seats appear. Any casual attendee that comes on the ticket site wanting to buy tickets, in the meanwhile, sees none available and is lost to the club. Didn't one of the directors come on facebook, at dinner time today, bemoaning the fact ticket sales were slow(4500), yet there are only 50 left on it's official ticketing site.
This system, and how its administered is beyond poor.

And yes, Simon, myself and family, will be there in numbers at MK. Hope to see you there.COYS

[smulls]

Through the website, I have requested 1 ticket from either Upper L, N or P but I could not find any spare seat from the layout!! That’s absurd!

[sw19stag]

Maybe Lady Penelope could sort this fiasco out.
She's got some clout apparently.

[Amberheart]

This could be our biggest attendance of recent times ?

[sw19stag]

No for that to happen the North stand would have to be sold out as well.

Lucky if Stevenage bring 200.

[MTFCMAD]

Normally when the ticket site sells out it’s an indication that over 5000 home tickets have been sold so far. As we all know there’s around 7000 tickets available to home fans so I’m not sure why we hold tickets back.

[Tippy Tappy Football]

Let's stick the 100 -200 Stevenage fans who will turn up in the lower corner of the West Stand (IGU Lower) like against Accrington in the League Cup and Crawley and then sell tickets in the North Stand to Stags fans.

[sw19stag]

Go for it mate. Give them a call.

[Tippy Tappy Football]

Go for it mate. Give them a call.

That's what Lincoln would do!!

Lincoln have got sensible police.....

I don't buy my tickets on line so I apologise if Im missing the point. Does the website at anytime say all the tickets have been sold, but in reality there are some left ? If so then it needs sorting. But if the website says there are 50 available I can't see that being a problem. For example would an individual want to buy more than 50 tickets even if he was buying extra for family and friends.

[Son Of Sherwood]

According to the MTFC website right now (6.15am) there are...

Quarry lane 20 seats available
IG Lower 8 seats available
IG Upper 7 seats available

I think the point being made is the unnecessary confusion created by the club’s ticketing policy and it’s rather tired ticketing software.
Many fans would prefer a system of first come, first served single match ticket allocation - especially for high-demand matches. Our policy is tricky to apply.
Whenever I buy theatre tickets (for example) on-line, I can SEE available seats. The club would benefit from this type of booking software as it would assist on-line buyers as well as Ticket office staff and walk-up customers.
In the meantime, it would be useful for the on-line system to explain that “Further tickets are available from the ticket office”

Lincoln outsource their ticketing to Eventbrite. Bury also do the same.

It would be logical just to release them all together and stop this farce everytime there's a big gate.

That would be too simple though

Where's the fun in that though. I enjoy these threads everytime we get a home crowd of 5500+.

Thats true!, still lets get the win!

[arsene wengers coat]

Why don't they just simply show ALL THE AVAILABLE SEATS from when the tickets go on sale.

So amateur.

[Stafford]

Just got through and got my six tickets after over an hour on hold. They've been swamped all morning and not many tickets left. Struggled to get six seats together anywhere in the ground. Only got a few seats left in the upper tier.

[1970Stag]

Think we will struggle to top the 7177 against Lincoln, as Stevenage will only bring 2-300? But anything over 6500 is brilliant, and if the sun shines tomorrow (doubtful) we might get another couple of 100 for pay on the day?
