I bought 4 tickets. yes I know but I think there was some question earlier in the thread about whether it was one or two and I'd heard the ticket man say one when I was in the queue so thought I would clarify. There were people buying for Bolton as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboy Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 When I asked at the ticket office he said only 1 per ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 It's 1 Wimbledon ticket per season ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 They sold a dozen Wimbledon tickets in five minutes while I was there. Nailed on sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Between myself, 2 people infront of me in the queue and someone on my Facebook there was 15 tickets sold (all had ST's). I can see 500 easily going before any go on open sale. Then a huge scramble. Is there scope for another 150 or so? 700 seems to be lower than I've heard other teams being allocated.

yarddog73 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 They normally give away teams 700 standing and upto 250 seats, has our allocation been reduced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millibob Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Typical OAFC. I went about dinner time to get my two. Showed the young lady my two season cards, she looked at them and gave them back with my two tickets. No note taken of my card number or name. So I assume I could get some more. Shabby!!!!!

sjk2008 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Spoke to a Wimbledon fan and he said there's no chance we'll get more tickets. Small ground, their last home game so they'll likely sell out, thus no chance we will get more than 700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Lucky then that they aren't selling tickets online to home fans here: http://wimbledonheritage.co.uk/shop/tickets/?eventid=1034 Ahem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No exactly the opposite. Outline the rationale for your request and explain how it could fall within the perameters of the stated policy. If you say I want a ticket for somebody who has not got a season ticket you give them no option but to say no......if you say as a true example tha your son lives in London , that you have been a season ticket holder for 20 years , that you are meeting your son who watches every Latics game in the South, ...... You give them some discretion and scope for a common sense decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Just bought 2 this morning, very quiet down at the ticket office. Not sure if it's how many we've sold but my standing seats are numbers 257 and 258, I thought we had sold more than that yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers for standing tickets are separate from the numbers for seats, so add the number of seats sold, and it'll be over 300. I'd imagine the seats are sold out or not far off!

Break The Silence Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I bought 1 standing ticket over the phone this morning, paid on my debit card. In fairness, the guy checked my ST details but then also asked me how many tickets I wanted so they're definitely not enforcing the 1 ticket per ST thing.

I live down south so not likely to get tickets in the Latics end for this which is a shame as can pretty much walk to the ground.......there is always a plan B though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
