But is it going to remain that way? Who knows?
Ive started to hear a few things going round about ticket allocation being less, just nothing concrete.

I can understand the sour taste that some people are experiencing but I don't buy the conspiracy theory. For starters, a conspiracy theory involves a lot of thought and planning. I think this is pure and simple incompetence! But the fact that the people who decide the allocation are incompetent shouldn't impact upon our mutual respect as fans. Also 'doing the same' will simply distress their fans who are like us, the person who decided upon this farce won't be affected. I'm sure Ben's message was written in the heat of the moment and despite this cock-up, everyone who travels will have a great day... as long as they get in!
In the event that anyone can't get in, they should bill D&R for their travel costs!

Interesting, seems like people involved at the club vastly underestimated the interest from Morecambe fans for this.
Having popped over the Club this morning to get my tickets I now understand the whole shenanigans of the problems.
Last Sunday Dagenham discussed the game with Morecambe FC. Morecambe asked Dagenham for 400 tickets for their supporters - yes that’s correct 400 and that figure was backed up by their local Police liaison. Dagenham asked Morecambe for a similar number for the game at Christie Park. Dagenham then offered to send all 400 tickets in the afternoon by courier.
Morecambe informed Dagenham that they would not be sending any tickets down for the second leg in advance and did not want to sell any tickets for the game at Dagenham. They also told Dagenham that they would not be getting any seats at Morecambe. Their idea on the day would be someone fro the supporters club as well as our local police liaison spotting Dagenham fans at the turnstiles and challenging any not recognised.
With League sponsors like Coca Cola, Umbro and Thomas Cook all having to be given up to 50 seat tickets each as part of the Football League agreements with them, Dagenham found themselves really short in the number of seat tickets to sell to home supporters after season ticket holders had been allotted.
They applied to the local Safety Group to sell some of the seats in the new stand. After consultations by the Safety Group with Morecambe FC, the Police and other interested parties it was agreed on Wednesday that Dagenham could sell seats to their own supporters in the new stand so long as Morecambe’s required allocation of 400 was not affected. Dagenham themselves decided to allocate double that number to Morecambe to be safe. At no time did Dagenham offer Morecambe the whole 1200 tickets.
With the uproar on the forums on Thursday Dagenham contacted Morecambe and wanted them to announce publicly what they had asked for and what Dagenham were delivering. They also demanded through the authorities in the Football League that tickets for each away leg were now a necessity for fans given the comments on the forums. Morecambe finally relinquished their stance on Friday morning, five days after Dagenham’s initial request and agreed to bring the tickets on Sunday. They also agreed to publicise the tickets in advance from Dagenham for their supporters.
Thank you to the person in the club house who explained it all to me. Whilst I was in agreement with most on this forum about the state of the tickets, I now appreciate just what the staff at Dagenham have gone through with trying to deal with people who just didn’t understand the logistics.
