Would it be possible to just turn up at the twicks and get a ticket or two there?

There will no doubt be some touts there but expect to pay huge prices if doing it that way.

Annoyed is not strong enougth I have been on the phone for at least 4 hours since 9.00 am and can't even get into the queue.
This is no way to treat loyal fans.

Keep going Sparkie, I have just got through after trying constantly from 9am! They still have tickets in all price brackets left. Good luck to all who are still trying. It'll be worth it! :oD

THEY aren't treating loyal fans anyway at all THEY are selling tickets and each person can only do one thing at once... so a queue is bound to form... early bird and all that...

Obviously it is sad that you are having such problems getting a ticket but there are only so many people working at the club who can answer the phones. Of course it is going to be frustrating but all the people working in the ticket office will be doing the very best they can to make sure all the people waiting outside and the ones on the telephones get their tickets

In what way does living in leicester and therefore being able to queue up without travelling over constitute being more loyal than us travelling fans?
if it's too hard, I won't understand it.........

a little foresight

Post by APM16 »

It must have been obvious from the off that Leicester were going to be allocated less tickets than they have season ticket holders if they reached the final. See ERC statement.
A little late to blame the ERC now when nothing can be done about it.

What could have been avoided is the immense waste of supporters time spent queueing and ringing the ticket office. Wasps have postal applications so it's not as though the club don't have time to arrange a postal application process that is reasonably fair. They've had plenty of time to think about it and obviously chose not to.

:?: 'if you were a loyal fan you would be down there queuing up for them' :?:

We have lots of loyal fans who don't live in Leicester and with the best will in the world would not be able to get time off to queue.

I'm a season ticket holder who bought tickets for the final in November but I'm still disgusted
a) that all season ticket holders aren't guaranteed tickets for the final :shock:
b) that I could have missed out because I am unable to spend a day of my day queueing/ringing (with no guarantee of a ticket even then) :roll:
c) that the club have not even bothered to come up with a better solution to this situation
:roll:
