Yeah, Birmingham got 16k on Saturday and the capacity is 19k (in a 29k stadium) so when you take empty seats in the home end 2.2k max away support sounds about right.

I completely take your point, but if I went to near enough every away game but then missed out on tickets to this one - one of the plumb away games - because I couldn't get to the ground to get a ticket in person or they decided to share them around I'd be equally miffed.

Littlesh*t Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I could be wrong here as I don't go to away games half as much as I used to but isn't it also quite rare for us to sell out an away end? Especially before general sale? I know there are exceptions like FGR in the cup etc with smaller allocations but most of the time they certainly don't sell out within the hour. I went to Burnley Saturday and I got a ticket fine and I haven't even got a membership this season yet. Really think your argument is flawed and I believe those that travel the most/ST holders should get 1st dibs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Birmingham next month, it was purely for season ticket holders. Everyone who wanted to go had opportunity to get one before they sold out. There was no away points scheme in place for that. On the very odd occasion that previous away game history is used (like Bournemouth) then I’m afraid it’s tough.

Alex_BCFC Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 It’s much fairer than a free for all by queuing at the ground. Why shouldn’t those who go to all away games get more of a chance of a ticket? There is never a perfect system but this is pretty good. If they brought back in person at sales at the ground there would be 99.9% unhappiness. I think you need to move into the 21st century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't the 90's anymore . Most things are done online now and most people know someone that could help them out. I'm still unsure what your argument is? I went to 2 away games last season and the Cov game this. I don't think I would get any priority with a record like that, but was able to book up easily. You're swapping those that can only get them online with those that can get to the ground on a working day...? You're on here, so you're clearly not one of the IT illiterate you refer to, so I'm confused as to why you have an issue?

TheReds Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 @Logical-City I'd like to know how you being a season ticket holder, has somehow made it to make you (and only you) have zero chance of getting a ticket for Birmingham away? You then mention they should go on general sale? Why should anyone who hasn't been all season be able to snap one up in front of a more loyal supporter who has gone to more games? The tickets weren't sold out in seconds, it wasn't some superstar concert. If you cannot get online for a few minutes to easily secure your away ticket, then how can you manage to travel from Weston to queue up for hours? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would have been loads of people who didn't get Bournemouth tickets who wanted them, unsure why you seem to think it's some sort of conspiracy against you. Whenever me or a friend book away tickets you have to be organised to a degree. Are you actually having a go at people for organising themselves to get tickets, on the basis you cannot organise yourself? If we go away there are usually 4 of us, so of course you want to get 4 tickets together. Or do you expect families and/or friends to be split up in the ground?

OneTeamInBristol Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 59 minutes ago, Logical-City said: Yes have you tried buying tickets online or does someone do this for you ? Priority is not first for season cards its based on away game attendance then a season card Following that what is left is mopped up in around 20minutes where systems will crash people will buy 20 in one go and chances of getting one are less than a lottery win This is for again popular fixtures If I wanted to go to this game I would login during the season ticket priority period and buy one myself. As others did. But this game didn't sell out until well into general sale. So you waited for all 3 sales periods and still missed out on a ticket. The rest of your post you are talking absolute bo**ocks. Wrong about the priority, wrong about the amount of tickets ST holders can buy. You missed out on a ticket for a game that didn't sell out until well into general sale, that's no one else's fault other than yours. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Littlesh*t said: I could be wrong here as I don't go to away games half as much as I used to but isn't it also quite rare for us to sell out an away end? Especially before general sale? I know there are exceptions like FGR in the cup etc with smaller allocations but most of the time they certainly don't sell out within the hour. Not particularly rare. Despite a largely poor season on the road last year we sold out Bournemouth, West Brom, Cardiff, Swansea, Coventry, Fulham and I’m pretty sure Reading? Not sure about QPR? Close to sell out if not. I think that maybe the reason this one has sold out so quick is due the the fact that, so far this season, it’s BY FAR the closest away game we’ve had/will have.

Sir Geoff Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 There will (hopefully) be far more sell outs towards the end of the season if we are still in with a shout of the play offs. It wouldn't surprise me if the club then introduce a points system based on Season card holders with the most points getting priority. I can't remember the details but Logical-City may be correct that Bournemouth last year was on a points system. I suspect Season card holders would have had next priority though. The club did actually announce a points based system at some time last season or the season before but not sure if it was ever implemented.

Out of his pie crust Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Trying to get to a few away games, Birmingham included, to clock up some points for our three wembley appearances later in the season, and the bernabeu season after next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Rascal Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Work shifts changed for a couple of us on Saturday and we purchased 3 tickets for Birmingham at about 10pm. There were still 94 tickets left then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddarwedlocker Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 2 hours ago, Sir Geoff said: That's utter nonsense. There were 1900 tickets available. Being a season ticket holder you had priority. Just because you were slow off the mark isn't anyones fault but your own. This. Dont complain when you were given the opportunity to get one, be quicker next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheltons Army Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 3 hours ago, Sir Geoff said: So it's alright for all the London , Devon, Cornwall, South Wales, Norwich based season ticket holders to give up a day's work to drive to Ashton Gate to buy a ticket for a match that they then have to travel hundred's of miles to attend. You really haven't thought this through have you ? You could negate that by selling the away tickets only from a pop up , in Kensington , Truro , Swansea and Norwich , and Ashton Gate , on a rotating basis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosey Boy Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, Logical-City said: Impressive I would say very annoying as very few of us get a chance to travel to an away game these days, the first come first serve based on the fact you have the spare time and finances to travel to more than 3 away games up north a season is extremely flawed imo, had the same struggles getting a ticket for Bournemouth last season after months of planning hotels and train tickets for friends found myself completely restricted from getting a ticket would have qued at the ground given the opportunity, completely unfair You are a Season Ticket holder yes? Tickets went on sale to ST holders last Thursday and only sold out yesterday…..you had plenty of opportunity to get a ticket.

Reigate Red Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I bought a ticket on the weekend but do think the priority windows were too short, one day for ST holders and only four hours for members (that's me) - which I missed. Apart from checking the website on a regular basis is there any way of knowing when away tickets come up for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth was quite a unique circumstance, I've rarely struggled for away tickets including Cardiff, Swansea, Luton, QPR etc which often sell out. As for buying from the ground only...... its 2022. A load of fans live outside Bristol like myself, its a mad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
