You've moved four spaces in the queue in ten minutes? Lucky you, don't knock it. When I was waiting yesterday I thought I'd end up being found under a pile of dust by Time Team  ;D .

I bought Preston tickets online without any real hassle. Click back to the previous page and you'll see I got my Stoke ticket online but had to ring up for Cardiff.

We're not getting anywhere fast. It would be an idea if they stuck to selling away tickets one game at a time as the site appears unable cope with the volume of demand (for a couple of thousand tickets fgs).

In the meantime it may also come in handy to deploy more ticket office staff to the telephone lines, so people don't have to turn up at the ticket office in person as they can't buy online or get through on the phones either.

Quick update for HSTHs wanting tickets for Cardiff. In case you didn't know they are now available for online purchase. I logged in about five minutes back and the system was good to go. All of the very best.

Check your ticket's the one you wanted and chose from the seating plan. My Stoke ticket arrived today and very definitely is not. I chose a decent central spot on row 35 and I've got a ticket on row 9!

Emailed the ticket office who replied the ticket I've got IS the one I ordered online. I've emailed back to point out the obvious. There's a Pdf receipt in my confirmation of purchase email which clearly states I ordered a spot on row 35.

As you know I prefer to stand at the football so always try for seats at the back out of respect for those who prefer to sit for health reasons or whatever else. Mistakes are one thing but telling me I'm the one who's made the mistake when I've got proof of purchase is next level stuff.

I would imagine that we will need the vaccine passport then based on Wales now making them law?

Haven't been following the ins and outs re Welsh sporting venues. Tomorrow could prove interesting. Cardiff have got Bournemouth at home so I suppose we'll soon find out.

Heard a rumour yesterday that Coventry will be charging £42 for adult tickets in our upcoming fixture. £42! For a 12:30 kick off in the Championship which is being shown on Sky.

How ever people wish to spend their money is quite obviously entirely up to them. But if this is correct then as far as I'm concerned Coventry can shove their admission price even further up their bung hole than Fulham.

Stuff that!

That's ridiculous. That's me not going then, no way I'm paying that out of principle.

Probably a rubbish rumour then. Just had a quick Google (which I suppose I should have done in the first place), both Fulham and Derby were charged £30. Cardiff were charged £20. Odd price variation all the same.

Tickets for Huddersfield and Blackpool away are meant to be on sale to HSTHs from today (online sales only, Wednesday over phone etc.). Log into my ticket account and find their sales are restricted. Imagine my surprise....... the words pot and tin spring to mind. Might ask Atomic to put this into song. Or perhaps not  ;D .

Clicked back onto the ticket site and Huddersfield is now accessible. Bought three tickets with no hassle. Access to Blackpool was still restricted though.

I had a similar experience only for me Blackpool were available and Huddersfield were not, did some nifty switching between screens and then had the same as Dan next time with Huddersfield available but not Blackpool. Fortunately I had deposited Blackpool into me basket earlier so eventually walked away with the two tickets I wanted and have to say that at £19.00 and £20.00 for being an old fart much happier with their pricing structures
Also they now use the terms restricted and privileged whatever the distinction is

For some bizzare reason it won't let me assign tickets to a friend. Despite having done this already this season.

Tried to add him as a friend - cannot be recognised.   ???

I had to remove my friend from my friends and family list and then re add when it came to assigning. that worked.

This online ticket malarkey is bordering on the farcical. Just been asked by a mate to check Blackpool availability as he couldn’t access them , I was looking at Huddersfield at the time ,clicked straight on and access no problem  for Blackpool after telling him tried to go back to Huddersfield page and it came up restricted access ! >:( >:( Logged out back in still the same left it 10 mins and hey presto back available ! It’s no wonder people are getting hacked off !

Blackpool still showing as restricted for me. Not panicking or anything as I can't see us selling out for this one, and if we do I can't imagine it would be before telephone sales given the state of the ticket site. It's all just really amateurish though.

And 'hilariously' I can't log into the ticket site this morning because it doesn't recognise the log in details I've been using since linking my accounts. The same details which were used to purchase tickets as recently as yesterday.

'Pittodrie' of a ticket site....... for those who don't know look up the Gaelic translation for pittodrie. If the Mods don't mind too much pittodrie could become a regular reference on this and any number of threads  ;D .
