I’ve worked out why I didn’t get tickets, it’s simply this: I represented my network of 5 and that was our undoing. With the volume of requests, I simply didn’t get a slot, despite being online for 10 minutes before the 4PM opening. Just too many requests.
I’ve never had a problem before, but this is an unusual situation where a massive game coincides with minimal availability.
I’m not sure embittered applies to me, but there’s no doubt that I feel incredibly disappointed to be missing out. Like some on here, I go to many away games and have done for decades, and I certainly would be someone who benefits from a points based tiering system should one be introduced. It’ll hurt to not be at a huge Oxford game for the first time since I’ve been going, but I certainly wouldn’t have wanted to be there without my son.
There’s no doubt that the ticketing system is still throwing up unnecessarily confusing steps (on occasion), though often it is very easy (I say that as a 40 year career IT professional). Should we progress, the club has got to sort this out ahead of a narrow window of time between the semis and the final.
To all those that are lucky enough to be going, enjoy the game and do your part to roar the team onto victory. If you feel yourself becoming quiet, remember those of us who would give a limb or two to be there in your place.
You may have to ask it to keep you logged in when you first put in your details which I do. Just worked ok for me.
