I was also told that Burnley have completely sold their allocation (1800) but they have only sold about 1600 tickets for home areas. She did however expect to sell out sometime this week.
Hopefully this should be our first 6K+ attendance since the 1960s!
Lets hope the get the pies on early and pre-pull a few pints!
So why can you order over the phone but I couldn`t? Maybe the required system was "down" when I rang (although I still don`t get how such a thing could be "down"??) but then surely I should have been told to ring back later? I know its early days, probably training new staff, people busy, etc... but a bit of customer service and consistancy would be nice!
Anyway, I`ll try again today and hopefully I`ll be able to save the old man a journey tomorrow!
I queued (along with many others) for an hour in order to get tickets for the match. Imagine if the ticket office had been taking phone enquiries from the 'off' time of 12 noon...people would have been able to arrive at the Globe, see the length of the queue, pull out their mobile phone and queue jump for tickets.
Just guessing, but (correctly in my opinion) the policy was probably..'no phone sales until the queue has disappeared', which is why tickets were available later by phone.
