Same here. Must have used all my luck last season <laugh>
How does the general sale on Monday work? Is it literally get online early and be at the front of the queue?

You had a good run last season <laugh>
Yeah pretty much - first come first served. I logged on just after 10am and managed to snag a Brighton ticket, but there wasn't many going. I think you can wait in the queue well before 10am so will try queueing earlier next time.

Yeah I didn't do too bad - think I managed to get to 8 games including Dortmund at home. God I wish I was there for that PSG game!

I've had about half a dozen in the resale now and only one, Sheff Utd, on the morning it opened. Sometimes there's over 20,000 in front of me when it opens so I just leave the queue and try again a few days later when a will few pop up. It is a matter of constantly refreshing the page and when one does come up you have to be bloody quick aa I've clicked on a few seats and had them snatched away from me!

Hi, I’ve created this to warn people about Newcastle ticket page on Facebook. It’s called Newcastle United tickets home and away

I messaged the admin for off chance to attend st James for the city game. I’ve never been to st James and want to experience it. The admin seemed legit as the page has 1500 members but once money was sent he stopped replying, I have sent money to get tickets this way in the past to get ectickets so didn’t think anything from it. I went on to the page to warn others and started posting it was a scam. He deleted all the negative comments and blocked me, please be aware no to get caught out. Two of the admins were Anderson smith and Armstrong Williams

Unlucky. Safe to say don't buy tickets other than from the club. And never trust anyone with two surnames.

Loser ;)

I would have thought they could have some coding that recognises if you've been successful/unsuccessful in previous ballots and to weight previous unsuccessful applications more heavily in future ballots that they entere.

Someone could in theory have been succesful on 3/3 previous ballots, or attended several games that season and be up against someone who's failed in say 5 ballot applications. That person (aka the loser ;) ) should (or could) be given a bit more chance of getting a ticket.

OR build an 80,000 seater stadium and we all get a ticket <laugh>

<awe> You have such an optimistic take on the capability of these ticketing systems and the people who develop them.

<laugh> They haven't even developed the common sense to not have the ballot seat selection and away ticket periods open up at the same time! Everyone in one daft big queue.

Do you have more chance of success in ballots if you have the Mags+ membership?

I only bought the regular membership and have won f*** all so far so that might be why <laugh>
