I'm really quite angry about this. This is part of the statement on the OWS:
Families and wheelchair users wishing to purchase tickets for this match are advised to sit in the South Stand Lower.
Good luck with that if you are a wheelchair user and decide to go after all. There are no front row seats available according to the ticketing site plan. In fact, there are symbols to designate wheelchair positions, one for each block. ONE for
each block! There is one position marked in the East stand but, that, of course, is in the section that is not open. So, from a reasonable vantage point to pitch level without shelter from any rain etc. if you are lucky.
Further, the original lack of information regarding season ticket holder seats not being reserved is now addressed with the following:
Season Ticket holders do not have their seats reserved for this game and the early-bird prices have now ended.
Better late than never perhaps but still yet more proof of the abysmal communication from the club.
I find it astounding that we can have such success on the pitch, have fantastic plans for the new stadium and yet still, make a total balls up of day to day functions. When we get through the first round (as expected - please!) and, if we get drawn at home again, can we expect an improvement and a reversal of this marketing folly? Open the whole ground and reserve season ticket holder seats for an initial period. It may have a get out clause in the T's & C's but, it has always been customary to show respect to those who have pledged their support. Likewise, how about those with Yellows Membership?
Members receive ticket priority for the best opportunity to purchase tickets to some of our most highly sought after fixtures. - Really?
@OUSP Secretary @OxVox both on the case, I hope.
