If this game was at any SL club, then no problem as I would expect there to be enough to go around. However, if ST holders miss out and then it comes out that non ST holders have managed to get free ones, I for one would not be a happy bunny!![]()
Just because someone is a season ticket holder doesn't make them a better supporter, look how many Bradford had a few years ago and where are they now? Wanting to go to an early round cup game at barrow shows a big commitment to the club, season ticket holder or not. Well done to the Season Ticket Holders who are unable to go and are willing to help us mere mortals out.
My argument was ST holders as part of the offer get free tickets subject to availability. If someone who has a ST and choses not to go, but gives their ticket to someone else then it means that someone who has paid for a ST could be missing out. This is my argument.
Anyway, phoned at 9.14. My call was important to them and I was first in the queue for 10 minutes. got my tickets so a happy bunny, but think the club will have made more from the premium rate line than if they had actually been selling them in the first place![]()

Re: BARROW TICKET ALLOCATION OF 1000 !!!!!!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: BARROW TICKET ALLOCATION OF 1000 !!!!!!
It was supposed to be one ticket per season ticket; did those people have 100 season tickets? If so, that's fair enough, IMO.josie andrews wrote:

I missed out, couldn't get there till 10.00, but I'm supposedly on the waiting list...

He did have all the season tickets. I was told that he runs a coach trip to all the away games from his local pub.
Re: BARROW TICKET ALLOCATION OF 1000 !!!!!!
If he had the season tickets he was entitled to do so but Baar he is part of the reason I think you, myself and others will be fine when the next batch arrives. All those buying multiples have got their tickets now. The second batch will not require crazy arrival times/waiting in line for so long IMO.

Got my tickets. Had to queue for about an hour. There were about 100 people there when I arrived at 8.50. Never been to Barrow before so really looking forward to the day out. Hopefully the fans who have missed out today have a chance to get tickets for the game.
