Lookers_Carl Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Me and my son got literally the last couple of tickets, sat in same block -125 but well apart, one in row 2 and one in row 18........but at least we're there! Was there still a big queue once they sold out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) basically it seems that what your saying is that the club is at fault for fans getting hypothermia. "its embarrassing" indicates you blame the club for there incompetance for some strange unknown reason. No, it's embarrassing mentioning it twice on the website though.

steveoafc Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Was there still a big queue once they sold out? Not really, only 20 or so, some left earlier when it became clear that they wouldn't get one. Felt sorry for those disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Got mine! arrived at half 1, queued for bout an hor n half, got 4 of the £18 tickets so expecting a rubbish view! Saw 1 guy in shorts and ano!ther wearin flip flops queuin! cranks! Did the club take the extra restricteds then? I thought they were initially priced £21-25. When I got mine at 12.15 the best they had was £21. Block 121 but not restricted viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I do think that the football club needs to think through its plans for issuing tickets for big matches in future. I don't doubt that the new stadium / new stand or whatever we eventually end up with will improve on the two crappy windows that currently exist, but it is a little disappointing that nobody has worked out a better way of doing things since Blackpool 5(?) years ago. I quite like the turnstile suggestion - great for cash sales anyway. I do, however, think that those involved have done an exceptional job on the day. From Dickov serving the brews to those dishing out the tickets to the fans for tolerating the experience to the players helping out with coach tickets or whatever. A big well done. On the other hand, your moaning - does it really help anybody? It's a forum, no moaning, no forum! I've no doubt there will be plenty of tickets available on the day, probably below face value too. My gripe has been with the allocation process and the ensuing bunfight today for the remaining tickets, just think it could and should have been handled a lot better, it shouldn't matter if we only have this type of game once in a while.

Forte_Baby Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Very sure they be a few knocking around the pubs before hand. I was going to que for two more but my back balance told a different story. Still rather than look a negatives lets just try to focus on the positive a grand day out at Liverpool over 6000 Oldham fans. (oh am still on look out for 2 spares ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microcuts Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 In work all day, my sister was in work at 12, went at 9 and told there was no chance she'd get them before 12. Having travelled down regularly from Edinburgh both home and away this season.. gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebOAFC Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 My dad drove up from Northampton this morning, arriving at half 10ish. Finally got 2 restricted view seats in row 35 of block 125 at about half 2 as the only unrestricted they had left were singles. He was freezing and soaked and we won't be able to see owt. On the other hand, it's Anfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancy lad Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Sorry for all you lads and lasses who didn't get a ticket! Seriously any red bastard who starts putting up some United flag in the middle of what will 99% of 6,000 Owdham fans needs to realise that there will be a lot of blood shed......... that is a very bad idea!

Blue-Mist Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 been on to a lot of old school Latics fans tonight - some lapsed, other occasionals, some cant go to many games for financial reasons etc and vast majority havnt got Liverpool tkts altho a few have. it seems to me that we could easily shift a great deal more tickets if we got any of the Anfield Rd upper - does anyone know if this section is available to Liverpool fans yet or is it not yet allocated ? I'm sure if we were given half of it we would have no problem shifting another thousand or 2 without any problems - many others were at work today or could only spare couple of hours so didnt get tickets. Would prefer to be with latics fans but if not then corner of Centenary stand will be next bes, t in amongst the scallies ! Hope we get those extras tho !!!
