    Thats the way the scheme works. Otherwise all you would have to do to get tickets is know the one person with the most Loyalty points.

    Most clubs allow you to buy 2 if you give the other person's membership number and they are eligible so you are both together at the game

    If you both have the points, yes you can buy two together. There is a friends and family link on the ticketing site, or if you give both customer numbers when you ring up they will allocate them.

    However if only one of you has the requirements to get a ticket they won't sell you a second one until that person is eligible.

    I've bought 2 together for multiple games this season this way.

    Ye
    Will try it by phone as buying online never allocates the choice of a second
    ticket

    If the person is saved under Friends and Family on your accounts, you select 2 tickets to buy. It comes up with an error usually at this point saying you can't buy 2 tickets under one account, but there is a drop box next to each ticket. Select which person from your friends and family you are buying the ticket for and then click on "update basket". It should work from there. This is the bit which catches many people out because the basket won't update automatically you have to refresh it yourself.

    Issue I have is I'm a season ticket holder. Missed the last 4 games through illness and looks like I won't be well enough to go in the near future either so I'll be screwed for future games. How am I supposed to catch up?

    It appears from my friend's experience that having bought a season ticket for the current season, points are awarded whether you attend the game or not. He has missed two home games this season but has had points added for both of them. Hopefully that will also apply in your situation.

    That’s what happened to me last season (and should happen as we’ve paid for 23 games). Can’t say if it is still happening as not missed a game this season due to us not being shit and making me lose the will to live.

    Sorry to be bearer of bad news but it’s highly unlikely you’ll get a ticket.

    unless of course you happen to be friends with Ryan or another director who will then gladly take tickets out of the pool for their chums.

    That is what the friends and family option is for.
    I have me, my son, and 4 close friends on my friends and family so if I know who is going to a match then when it comes to selecting who the tickets are for the details of each person are on my account, choose the people, update basket and it allows you to buy for as many people as you want, all together.
    When my friends who have more points than me aren't going I just message them to say i'm purchasing under their details but on my account and its a win all round.
    I get tickets, they get points attributed to them.
    For Grimsby 2 of our crew are on 1100 points so they can purchase today.
    Me and my lad are on a 1000 so need to wait until tomorrow.
    But that's the way it is.
    But back to your enquiry about getting tickets together, whoever is your regular friends or family who attend, log all their details on your friends and family then purchase under your account when tickets come out.
    Its been like that since 2013 I think.
    Since the Capital One Cup Final.

    It appears I don’t have enough loyalty points obviously I’m a season ticket holder. My Fenian mate is busy at work Wednesday could I pick him a ticket up at the office if I have his season ticket that would ensure we both have a match ticket.
    In the past Grimsby have increased away tickets to over 2,000 does that still happen ?

    Pre booked on Dolly Bus

    As long as you have his season ticket number and he doesn't already have a ticket there is no reason why they wouldn't sell you one for him if there are any left. It just works the same way as if he was in your friends and family list online.

    The news piece on the BCAFC website states this is our lot re tickets, 1200.

    Grimsby seem to think their form and return to the league means they can sell more tickets to home fans so they have done that.

    Shouldn't have a problem mate if your mate told the ticket office he was picking them up they will be in an envelope with his name on, I'm picking Mansfield tickets up today.

    There won't be an increase as they sell seats in the away end to home fans now, hence the reduced figure of 1300ish.

    I can see the 1,200 going pretty easily from here and there can really be no complaints by those who don't end up with tickets if you can just jump online now and get one if you are a season ticket holder. No doubt the minute they sell out there will be people asking if there are any tickets.
