    I was sat refreshing from 8.40 this morning and at 8.45 they disappeared.
    Persevered though and at 8.57 they came on line and finally managed to get her one sorted!
    Alls well that ends well.

    I actually went on at 8.00 and they were showing as available. Again I checked every 15 minutes (and tried to purchase), they were showing up until 8.45 as available. The sales ‘bar’ for Northampton then disappeared about 8.50. Must have been updating the system.

    Still I guess the Loyalty system is as fair as it is going to get. I see that there are still tickets for Crewe!

    Given they came up as sold out before the clock hit 09:01, you did extremely well to get her one.

    Good practice for if we end up in the play offs.

    Tried and although showing an extra box comes up with ‘
    • There are not enough tickets available for what you requested. Please change the quantity and try again.
    All I want is one. So confusing and frustrating.

    I got mine yesterday morning online. Went down just after 9 this morning to collect as I have a day off, it was mad. Nowhere to park, and the queue in the ticket office was right back to the entrance. Sod that

    I will go back another time to collect them, no rush

    It does say on the website to leave 48 hours after buying online to collect so even if you did get to the front your ticket might not have been ready.

    As soon as the club posted on Facebook that they were sold out there were at least half a dozen people offering tickets due to changes to plans or death in family.

    presuming they are scams rather than fans who couldn’t go just buying to keep their points up.

    That's exactly what they are. Bots scraping for that all elusive "Sold Out" statement. Can tell as none of the replies offering tickets reference the game or being a fan. They're all generic "can't make the 'event' anymore" responses and all their profiles scream fake. It's just a scam and hope that no city fans fall for it.

    One page say 24 hours, another says 48. I’ve always gone down the day after and they’ve been ready

    They'll ask for payment in advance of them sending you digital tickets, which of course will either be fake or just never arrive.

    Ah maybe, that didn’t really cross my mind that the deadline was looming. I just assumed it was a late dash for Northampton tickets lol

    One of them shares a surname with a well known City fan, might just be luck I suppose

    Come on guys, just even thinking that these are real people selling tickets is a bit daft.
    Fans that have built up enough points have done so for this exact scenario to guarantee tickets for end of season possible promotion deciders.
    Why would they buy tickets to just sell on?

    if they couldn’t go then it would make sense to buy ticket, get points, then sell on. As has been said on here before when it was suggested to return tickets someone said they would be better selling them on to keep the points.

    I agree most are probably bots, but I reckon at least one is real.

    A simple check on the ‘sellers’ profile nearly always shows the account has existed a day or two and they live in some far flung land.
