-DelBoyRodders- Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Perhaps the large queue had something to do with the fact that a lot of people had the same idea and decided to buy their tickets on the day. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb the Snail Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well I thought that you looked very smart sirmattyisbackwithanewnamebecausehecantrememberhisoldpassword or whatever you are called these days? Sat in the front row between bends 1 and 2 in your finest pulling gear! The Mr Clean Fan Club had a good old chuckle once we spotted you, I can tell you! Hope that you had a good one (despite the ticketing fiasco)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazzman Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Funnily enough, the only negative of the day. Milli Stad Ticket Office's allocation ran out - only selling £65 Went to the ticket office on Westgate Street. The chap got us 3 family tickets plus 2 children all together - smashing work from him. I noticed that all these tickets were full-stubbed, so anybody could have bought a family ticket and used for 4 blokes. It seems they only had an allocation also and once this ran out, there would be a panic. When I got to the stadium to see the Front Straight;'s £32 tickets completely empty - made me angry because it simply proven they hadn't printed enough tickets for the event.

Steve Shovlar Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Can honestly say don't leave buying your tickets till on the day. I think next year the crowd will leap up in size after Saturday and could be pushing the 60,000 for 2008. Imagine if it ever got to the stage where you had to buy your ticket the day it came out or miss out! ( Not ever likely to happen!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 If it got so popular that the place sold out in a couple of hours ( some events do) there would be a lot of very unhappy fans and IMG would have to have a club system to make sure the tickets went to the right people rather than a free for all at seeticket.

M08 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Didn't bother buying tickets on the day eventually. By the sounds of your comments, I'm glad I didn't! I know someone who cued up for 1 hour getting their tickets that they'd pre ordered on the Thursday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be almost 10 years since you bought me a pint, and to think that I steered all you Oxf**d boys round the grief on the M4 as well. I didn't move from that spot in the PoW for nearly 3 hours! Anyway, how was the rest of the evening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
