Swindon away ticket restrictions (13.50 Update - SOLD OUT)

The point about Exeter is that we had weeks to sell the tickets. Swindon was going on general sale this morning until I suggested last night that this wasn't a good idea. I think the club did underestimate the demand, but as yet we don't know what the demand is.

We've already had to sell the home tickets a week before we knew about the game because the commercial centre, i.e. the level of staffing, the phones, the internet booking system and the number of terminals, can't cope with selling 20,000 home tickets in the time frame. We will have similar issues if we get to Wembley, which we are looking at now.

The view of those at the sharp end is that we simply cannot add the time implication of checking people's purchase history over four away games before we sell a Swindon ticket - and on the basis of what has happened this season and what they expect to happen tomorrow that it isn't necessary. Whether they are right or wrong we'll find out tomorrow.

I was at the valley today and there were people despite the queues asking about tickets for away leg and restrictions despite being told first off they couldn't buy them. Logistically can you imagine people queing up at 9am getting to front of queue and trying to buy a ticket with only 1 away game history and being told to get to the back of the queue? Not gonna happen.

Good luck guys and girls! Unfortunately it won't suit everyone but there isn't much the club can do.

As i went to this one, here here.

As has been said, i think its one of those situations when the club cant please everyone and i'm sure they've done everything they can to make sure its as fair as possible, while at the same time making sure the club dont suffer in any way

I've been to every away game this season, but have an exam tomorrow morning. If the tickets sell out before 3pm i shall not be amused.

Don't think so Nick - it allows you to the maximum you have ever bought in one go.

So if you bought 4 tickets for Oldham (and that was the most you bought for an away game all season) you can get 4 tickets for Swindon.

Im ready to get dialling ;)

anyone got the direct number rather than wasting money going through the options?

yep got that too :(:(

On twitter there looks like a queue of around 150 people as well.

This will sell out this morning and people are going to miss out I think.

After going Swindon back in Feb , im not sure i like the look of that poxy open stand. It was bad enough in the main stand at half time, one bloke serving behind a cage, cant see the open end having a bar. Got the potential to be a worldie of a night (good strippers in the town), or a complete torrid.

Has anyone got through even to being told what number you are?

i sometimes get the music before being cut-off almost straightaway
