    A couple in our group didn’t have quite enough points so had to wait for today and managed to get five together without any issues.
    There’s only Harrogate where I’ve not been able to get tickets.
    The system is working as it should for me

    With it being half term we know someone with a Caravan over there so we are staying local over the weekend. I was sweating on the points numbers being announced myself but with the handful of away games I have been to and all the cup home games I made the cut, so the bar really isn't that high for the tiered batches of tickets.

    Otherwise I would have just been hovering over the website this morning to get tickets in the season ticket batch, there was a good 90min of sales there before selling out. I guess the only complaint is if you have a job where either you or someone you know can't jump online for you.

    I already see people moaning online that they missed out, I mean if they are online moaning surely they could have just as easily navigated the BCAFC website.

    There’s no process that will please or suit everyone unfortunately (and I appreciate it’s not always through a fault of their own)

    It's what comes with a team the supporters want to watch.
    Experience down the years tells me that when times of success at this club brings big matches then your own commitment and sacrifices to making sure you get a ticket increases with it.
    I was sat waiting at 8.55 and the requirement didn't change until 9.06 but I was ready.
    All the cup games during the Parky era required big sacrifices to get tickets.
    Today was a doddle compared.

    It’s probably possible but can you imagine the hassle for both Bradford City and Salford to facilitate it?
    BCFC would first have had to allocate each ticket barcode to your order.
    They’d have to request replacement from Salford and ask them to cancel the original tickets.
    Sounds like a nightmare admin task.

    I am still to pick up my Grimsby tickets but I notice they have allocated the block and seat number on my account so it sounds like this admin task does take place in the background.

    No wonder the ticket office staff are so grumpy.

    Allocating a ticket incase of loss is easily covered by the £1 websales fee.

    surely it is just scanning the ticket when selling them and putting them in an envelope?

    Ah is that what it’s for? I always thought it was a stealth fee / free money for doing absolutely nothing.

    I don’t know what the process is but doing it 1366 times is tedious

    Edit: deduct a few hundred from that for the directors pot of tickets that they can allocate as they see fit, meaning some proper fans miss out.
