So me and my brother been members a couple of seasons now, been to every europa league game the past 5 years, plus this years champions league games. Even make it down to the odd u18/u21 game. We are on around 150 loyalty points each. Not to bad for 2 kids that have only been members 2 seasons. As soon as me and my brother got out first jobs the 50 odd quid membership was the first thing we both bought. Couldn't afford to go every week when we was at school and college. Cant rely on bank of mum and dad for that sort of stuff.
So anyways
After enduring the never ending wheel of doom multiple times at the crack of dawn in the past to get tickets we was looking forward to this years ballot, even if it meant less tickets for members.
Ballot system was beautiful at the start of the season, between 5-10 thousand applicants per game with 5000+ tickets going to members. 1 in 2 chance at worst.
We have applied for every single game, probably got tickets for about 2 out of ever 3 we applied for (great) last game we managed to get tickets for was the Chelsea league game at Home . We have applied for every single game since, NOTHING. Didn't even get tickets for the cup semi at wembley which i thought we was nailed on for considering how many they have to sell.
Now some of you are gonna say you been going years heck i reckon a fair few of you are season ticket holders. Im 90,000 on the waiting list LOL! Ill be number 1 on that list one day.
I know we are going into the new ground and chances are ill be able to go to every game in a few seasons time, but for somebody who has ever since they could afford to take themselves been actively going to every games i can, i'm just mighty pissed off ill be missing some big games to come (goonerz + utd) because 10,000 people who couldn't be asked at the start of the year have realised this year might be the best for a long time.
Bit of a whinge thread but to not get tickets for like 7-8 in a row when i've applied for every single game is a bit of Shitter...
Not saying that anyone thats been getting tickets is less deserving than me, just pissed off another 10 thousand people have decided they wanna go watch.
Could be worse we could be playing shit, at least i would get a ticket though.
