Re: Rovers away tickets
I’m aware it’s not a bubble match. The club stated if we wish to travel by coach then the coach ticket must be purchased at the time of purchasing a match ticket. I didn’t see the option to buy a coach ticket.
Re: Rovers away tickets
We should do the claret and blue balloons again but don't ask them this time. If I remember right they refused on safety grounds last time and we ended up blowing them up and releasing them at Sheff Utd. That would be funny, balloons all over the place .

Do those unsuccessful in the ballot now support the notion of BOYCOTTING the game?

You should probably read the thread, I'm the only one suggesting a properly fair system.HistoricalClaret wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:22 pmWell fairs fair, lets completely alinate our young new fanbase in favour of the old ones and cause the clubs fanbase to burn out and become non existent when the older fans beging to pass away or become unable to attend anymore, genuinely shocking that anyone thinks this is the right way. A rolling system is periodically and unequivocally the best way of doing a loyalty system.

Re: Rovers away tickets
The coach travel option was just under the ticket selection. If you go back on you may still be able to add the coach ticket - it's still an option for me but, as I'm not booking it for myself, I'm unsure if it will still work if you already have your ticket. Give it a try!

Re: Rovers away tickets
It is long past the hour that those with umpteen thousand points and get a sniff every game feel the utter deflation and misery the rest of us have to experience. Now you know how the rest of us feel.
I Brook no “haven’t missed a game so I deserve it more arguments”. What do you think the rest of us would be doing if given a chance?
Moving forwards, the ballot methodology is a much fairer system. I hope they stick with it.

I said exactly the same, surely if this was the case then BFC should only allocate tickets to the same category as the season ticket.AGENT_CLARET wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:14 pmThis should be information given out at the time of purchase, so I think someone is pulling your leg

Re: Rovers away tickets
Are the general tickets top or bottom tier? I’d expect bottom to be the 2000 then the 250 hospitality in the top?
Was unsuccessful so not sure where the tickets are for the lucky ones who got them.

Re: Rovers away tickets
I have no idea I'd of thought the police would be too busy on the night keeping the peace, tensions will already be high but this has come direct from the club staff. I can't see it myself tho can't see the police caring who enters with what ticket as long as the night passes trouble free, stopping face entering could then cause them an issueAGENT_CLARET wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:28 pmWhy would police be looking at tickets other than a 40 year old trying to get in with a child's ticket

Re: Rovers away tickets
I was sat on a train next to a United fan a few weeks ago. He told me that away tickets for United games are all collected at the away ground with ID so that nobody can pass them on to friends and family. No ID, no ticket. No collection, no points/credit for that game, even if you purchased and paid.AGENT_CLARET wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:28 pmWhy would police be looking at tickets other than a 40 year old trying to get in with a child's ticket
I’m not sure how the loyalty system should work, but I do agree if you are going to ballots then you should check it’s the rightful winners of those ballots taking the tickets and attending the game.

Re: Rovers away tickets
Highly doubt they will be printing names on the tickets... Has that ever been done in the past?
Comms from the club says "photo ID in the name of the person making the booking will be required."
I read that as the person who booked the tickets, not each ticket? I.e. I booked mine and my dad's, so I can collect both tickets under my booking number.
Re: Rovers away tickets
Nothing to do with the police....they've more to bother about than someone passing a ticket on to a family member,or friend

There is approximately 0 chance either club are gonna go to the effort of printing 2000 individual names on tickets.

Because they anointed themselves as "proper" fans because they were around during the crap times. Because they run sites. Because they have bigger voices than others. My heart bleeds for you. It really does.

Re: Rovers away tickets
Accy Stanley play Bolton at the Breezeblock on the same night! If we're not allowed a proper allocation in one shith0le ground, I'm sure Accrington Stanley won't mind a few extra away support in their hour of need! Just saying. That would be brilliant, toss up between the local pub and a real match

Using a ticket that isn‘t yours is not a police matter. That is why police are never on turnstiles, it is down to the clubs stewards. It is not the job of the police to be ticket checkers.

Re: Rovers away tickets
I got an email last Thursday to say successful ballot application. Nothing more from the club. After reading some of the messages above, I decided to log and and try and buy tickets. All purchased successfully. Thanks for the email BFC saying had been selected and could buy tickets. There was 7 available seats left when I was buying them.

With the way they've acted I could see them paying extra for it if 4/500 fans didn't get in that's even less of us in the away end

Who Burnley sell the tickets to is their decision alone. It's not a police matter if they decide on a ballot, or 14,000 points, or only people living in Burnley can have a ticket. There are no laws being broken if I give my ticket to someone else, plus names won't be on tickets, otherwise id would be required by everyone attendingbumba wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 8:46 amTicket office said a list of the names attending was requested by Blackburn who will be getting the police to check on the turnstile.

Police will surely be too busy doing other things than ticking names off a 2k list.
