I've just been and bought my ticket for tomorrow up at SJP. Got their a little after nine and had to stand in line for about 30mins. I would say about a couple of hundred were in the line when I got there and about the same when I was leaving. The wifey behind the counter told me about 30,000ish had gone already.
Tomorrow is a vital must win game imo. I refuse to think about not getting into Europe proper.

I am really pissed of with this box office hotline, 3 days now and every sodding time engaged. The thing is yesterday I sent them an email so I might have the tickets but I don't know for sure because I can't get through on the phone. I am going to have to go to the ground to be sure.

I didn't realise you could order over e-mail Tony? I had the same trouble getting tickets for the lokeren match....

I don't believe you can order tickets via e-mail.

The old- fashioned "just stand in line for however long it takes" method seems to be the limit of their organisational ability. When the human ticket lines form, I reckon they simply don't answer the phone.

In the year 2001, with electronic communications being where it is, this is utterly pathetic and frankly disgusting. Why on earth should paying customers have to put up with this disorganised, archaic cr@p.

For crying out loud NUFC get your friggin act together!!!

I've asked him if the email order was processed and he is checking on it now, so obviously the system is up & running, he explained that if the order is duplicated I will of course be refunded. He also verified the demand as constant with phones extremely busy & queues outside.

Have they never heard of Ticketmaster et al? OK, they tend to rip you off with booking charges, but at least it's a your choice to do it that way, and far more civilised way of obtaining tickets than sitting by a phone for hours on end, or standing for an hour in a bloody long queue.

He confirmed the email as an acceptable method of purchase although I cannot help thinking that it will be an administrative nightmare if they don't produce a mandatory form for completion. Slowly but surely they're making progress.

ROTFLMAO! Ticketbastid in UK must be a completely different animal to the US version, cause what you described is precisely what it's like here....and you pay their 'convenience'(ha ha oh hee!) charges through the nose for the privilege. Even better when they lose or mysteriously cancel your order, or send tickets out in completely haphazard way so you don't know when you'll get them. Don't even get me started on the evil monopoly that is Ticketbastid. ;-))

Whew. Better go take my pill now. :-)
