QPR [A] Tickets - Sold Out

Stuart_Learys_Boots

So big panic and my mate bought tickets at the same time as me so I now have one adult and one under 18 restricted view spare. Face value totals £48. First come first served.

There are plenty still available online.

Sorry to be a pain but I need to get rid of both together please. 

Stuart_Learys_Boots

I may be able to upgrade the child ticket to an adult when I collect tomorrow so that would be two adult restricted view.

I'd ring the club and just ask them to cancel.

If you can do that mate I’ll gladly take them

Stuart_Learys_Boots

Ok it’s a deal. We can discuss on DM 

CatAddick

Had to settle for restricted view too.  Still a fair few available next to each other if you need to buy for a friend

Got our two, by the skin of our teeth it seems.
Mighty relieved.

Restricted view in all blocks available. 

I reckon about 80% of the entire stadium is restricted view.

Yea. Barely more than 10 all singles.

Only disabled and helpers left i think now

Well I have a ticket which says it will be held for 40 mins.  Got in at 2pm which is when I qualified and it allowed me entry. Now I am trying to pay it says the number of tickets exceeds what I am allowed to buy. I have one ticket in my basket. Annoying.  Assume sold out.

Same for me!

What do we do?

Belv

Ring the ticket office asap would be my suggestion. 

WillmoreTheRed

Any adult tickets that are not restricted view? Need 1.

ElfsborgAddick

QPR are selling tickets, you need to register an account first.

The error is now fixed so you should be able to complete your purchase if quick. Very helpful ticket office staff sorted for me.

Calculated risk saw me open another browser, release the tickets from one site and pick them up on another. Managed to get my 2. Phew!

Last time went QPR away your actual seat number and row etc seemed to go out the window and just get a seat where you can, guess it will be the same this time...

Will everyone that wants a seat get one...! 🤣

No...but if i manage to get in at phase 7 i am going to buy 2, and take someone who doesn't support Charlton so we can have a good day out...It’s my reward after all.

Do you seriously think that happens?

You’ve literally just made that up in your own head. 

Pretty much all they post in this thread. Complete make believe stuff about other fans because they have to wait until phase 7. 

Pretty much every single away match thread as well. It's not like it's hard to move up the phases 

it is if you cant get a ticket cos some berk brings along his mate.

You have plenty of opportunity to move up the phases so that you don't miss out on the 2 games a season that don't make general sale. It's not an impossible task like following England or some of the prem clubs, the vast majority of our away matches don't even require points to get a ticket.

One issue is that the more games are on restricted sale, the more difficult it is for people to qualify when they can already pick up the second ticket from family and friends. I am really not going to contact the club to allocate a ticket I've already bought to my daughter, say, when I can get her a ticket on my account. I don't think you can do that yourself online, so the people with the points continue to accumulate them (from the first ticket purchase each time) and the people who accompany them never accrue the necessary points, which aren't recorded, from the second ticket even though they go.

You could argue, of course, that this just means the "two each" model works better than some people assume.

You can allocate a ticket to someone online providing they meet the points at the time of buying.

But here lies the problem. Lets say someone kindly buys me a ticket when I don't have enough points to buy one myself. I have paid for a ticket, travelled to a game etc but cannot (easily) get the points. If this happens 5-10 times over a season I could easily lose out on being bumped up a phase and being eligible, I am then hoping my kind friend doesn't want to bring along someone else each time. You should still be able to assign the ticket regardless of if they meet the threshold, otherwise they cannot gain enough points themselves

If that happens 5-10 times a season, then there is still 130-180 points up for grabs for you to very easily accrue, plus any cup games. 

There is no problem with the current system and people really need to stop suggesting alternatives that benefit them for the handful of away games they want to go to. 

To be clear, I am not trying to benefit myself. I cannot go to QPR, I cannot go to lots of games and I have no problem with my loyalty points at all. 

I just think it’s mad that there are some people (and there will be some) who go to a decent chunk of away games but don’t see the benefit of their loyalty. I cannot see a valid reason that they shouldn’t be allocated their points easily

That's just simply not the case, if you go to a decent chunk of away games then you will have a healthy amount of points considering away tickets don't reach general sale maybe 3 times a season. 

I wasn't saying you specifically were trying to change the system but this conversation only ever comes up for local away games or those with a small allocation and it's complete nonsense to say it's difficult to build up points, I had a couple of years where I couldn't go as often, within 2 years of going regularly again, I was on 700+, as already mentioned this is not Man Utd or England we're talking about, we didn't even sell 2.5k for Bristol City for the first away game back in the championship after 5 years, we were about 150 short, that's 1,500 loyalty points left on the table and not taken up. 

Not really true, because people will get their tickets together in the restricted phase. They don’t wait for general sale - Bristol City being an example. I bought 16 tickets for various people using eight IDs, during the restricted phases. We wouldn’t have said, let’s just buy for the people eligible in any given phase, pay even more booking fees, and take pot luck on sitting together.

i am not saying the system is wrong, btw, just that it doesn’t quite work as you suggest.

Imo this is where the new 'pick your seat' system causes an issue. Otherwise your group could have their own points and just buy for themselves knowing Bristol City was always going to make the late phases/general sale

Based on Bristol City, as well as the friendlies against Southend and Ipswich, people are still sitting anywhere they want in the away end rather than their assigned seats. I didn't see a single person complaining about anybody being in their seat at any of those matches.

Me and my son had to move 3 times before kick off at the Bristol City game where people wanted their allocated seat.  Our allocated seats were on the far left hand side, so we just hung around in the middle behind the goal until kick off when nobody cared about their actual seat and used any available space.

Annoyingly, I’ve just had Stevenage points credited which would have pushed me into phase 5 🙄

Spent the whole game in the aisle behind the goal. It was like the old days...

I thought the stewards at BCFC were spot on - the polar opposite of the Stockport arseholes from last season.

Except 918 people have paid up to £8.00 more for a seat than the cheapest option, will they be happy to find somebody with a cheaper ticket in their seat.
