The first allocation sold out but Birmingham have now given us another 2000 tickets, that's why they are now on sale again...

Don't believe what the OS says because it's clearly untrue!!!

:wink:


We accepted the full allocation from Birmingham for 4000 something initially. So are we now taking 6000?

Hold on, they've sold out now as well...

On a serious note, how come they know about this and yet they have the audacity to put an article up about how everything is hunky dory and running as normal on a RoyaLOLty points basis?

Still only forest showing up. Birmingham showed for a moment but in trying to co-ordinate it with friends it seems that opportunity was missed.

have purchased mine online today (I have enough points for the sale 2400) but also purchased another the the lad who only has 1000 points so technically should only be able to get his ticket on Friday.

I for one am certainly choosing to believe you over the club and I hope everyone else does as well. What a helpful person you are to spread the true information in this way.

Well clearly the top part is CLEARLY untrue... but what we do know is that a lot of people have got their tickets already without having the right number of pints, the club obviously think that by getting fixed after a whole day of play they have done enough to warrant not having to bother telling anyone they messed up...

I feel bad now. It was supposed to be ridiculously OTT and therefore totally unbelievable... guess it's cos I have such a whiter than white reputation as a trust-worthy bloke.

So, despite the glitch allowing any old Tom, Dick and Harry to purchase tickets with whatever points they had YESTERDAY, the site goes down this morning and this afternoon you can STILL buy a ticket for Brum despite how many points you have? Utterly shambolic.

I just hope Ian Royal doesn't get a ticket ahead of someone who has the correct number of points. :wink:

What an effing shambles!

How many more cockups is the person in charge of the TO going to be allowed to oversee before the club question their competence and do something about it?!

Makes a complete and utter nonsense of 'Royalty Points'.

Looking forward to the excuses with great interest.

Unlikely I would have thought, not particularly cost efficient and would cause even more issues.

Also a bit pointless if the tickets go to general sale anyway.

Shirley, they should be able to run a list of those who have applied who have the correct number of points? Anyone else is refunded, unless they haven't taken the money yet, and notification is given as to when they can legitimately apply for tickets?
