I can grasp it perfectly. My point is that people who can’t book until the last minute will always be likely to miss out on events with limited availability. In this respect your scenario is no different than a game selling out with 2 weeks to go. You could have bought your tickets and taken a risk...

Why do the British, led by the press panic so much. I saw a headline the other day....confirmed virus cases double overnight......it had gone from 2 to 4 !!!! Here in Tenerife they only report the facts, what has happened, and the procedures put in place, hence no panic, the supermarkets are fully s...

Grumps

I was joking. Chill out. Those who are unfortunate to not be able to book in advance are always going to be more likely to miss out. This situation is the same as if we had sold out the entire allocation. Communication could have been better in this instance but the club shouldn't be buying your ti...

Another 40 confirmed cases today. The highest number in any one day. All in different parts of the country and has now reached Cornwall. The strategy of tracing all contacts of those testing positive has now passed and all that we can do is try to slow the spread to give time to find a vaccine. As ...

I think the club should consult with Grumps before taking each away ticket allocation to enquire as to upcoming weddings, babysitter availability and his next pay day. In the extremely unlikely event that any of the aforementioned factors may prevent his attendance the club could apply to the Premi...

I do get your point but not sure just what it's got to do with sending tickets back to City? Do you expect Burnley to get you a babysitter etc or check with you if you've managed to sort one before deciding to send them back? Was it you or someone else who said two days were long enough for anyone ...

To avoid unnecessary repetition on this thread, it would be ideal if anyone whose replies start, "It's only..." just set their threshold of infections / deaths that are in the "It's only" category. Then when it's all over with less than this threshold they can come back with a hearty "told you so" ...

Using Friends and Family would go a long way to helping you get tickets.

How? Does it help find babysitter's, bring forward pay day, or give people time off work ?

I sneazed today in Tenerife, nobody batted an eyelid, reading this forum had I done that in Burnley, I'd have sick pay, self isolating, and unable to shake hands with anyone , though I doubt if be added to the 95.....remind me again what percentage of the population that is?

I look forward to an emergency fund or private rent freeze for the self employed or zero hours employees who have to self isolate then.

Why would they self isolate?

I'd sooner people don't take the necessary risks and stay home, even if they haven't yet been tested. Better be safe than sorry. Why?

Can always count on you , you must be so happy and smug, did you forget to mention childcare ,pay day, time off work etc in your reply

Understand that but nothing to stop you planning things long before the tickets go on sale. As for not living in Burnley, online sales are increasing all the time so not being near the ticket office is no longer a problem. The tickets on sale today are only available from the ticket office, so yes ...

No one expects anyone to sort it out in two days - tickets were on general sale for four days and you don't have to start checking with all you mention on the day tickets go on sale. We find out some time before they go on sale who is going and who is not so that when they go on sale we can get the...

Boris has said people will be able to claim statutory sick pay from day one, should they be required to self-isolate at home.

I don't think you understand the situation. If they (BFC) have been able to send tickets back, this might have been the only time they could do that. A judgement call would have had to have been made. The tickets weren't selling anything like as much as expected or needed and so they would have had...

You are struggling badly on this aren't you ? It is no surprise though.

I say its a long way off peaking.

No I didn't, I actually said nobody knows, at least get something right please.

Grumps

Well I don't think we would have and more importantly the club didn't think that we would either. If we'd only sold 1500 after they had gone on General Sale then I really don't see how we'd have shifted another 1500! Two days on general sale, over a week before the game is a weird time to take them...

Everyone with 6000, 4000, 2000 points, Season Ticket holders with less than 2000 and even non-season ticket holders have had a chance to buy them but we only sold 1500.

They did initially take the full allocation (3000) but even though they've now even got down to General Sale we still had only sold half of them! Why fickle - well we certainly haven't sold a lot this time!

I thought we'd sold what we got?

They can't second guess what fickle fans might do! What do you suggest that they should have done, just taken 1500 at the outset? Why fickle?

Most of us on here know which games will be popular, and guess within a hundred or so how many tickets we will sell, why those responsible at the club for requesting the allocation seem unable to at times, baffles me.

That's correct, as there's no way that the tickets will sell out at 6000 points anyway! So for those with 6000 there's plenty of time over the weekend to get them.

But why put them on sale at that time?

You have to provide proof of age

I know youngsters under 18 who only gave a date of birth over the phone to obtain a clarets number, and have since bought season tickets, however they do exist and the details correct, but didn't have to provide any physical proof of age
