West Ham Ballot Results

[allen]

I entered 3 times for 2 tickets and this was first successful attempt.
How about this idea of nominating 1st and 2nd choice areas? Hows that working out for people?
I requested South Upper as 1st choice, North Upper as 2nd choice and ended up in West Don't get me wrong I'm just happy to have got tickets, but I do wonder just how the ballot is worked.

I think I went for East... upper (maybe lower?).... and South upper this last time - and got family stand.

I definitely didn't specify the family stand - mainly because we sat there for the Mansfield game and I wanted to check out another part of the ground.

I'm thinking that because it's a school night, there was less demand on the family stand, and perhaps that's why we got tickets there.

But honestly, it's all guesswork until and unless Everton tell us how it works.

That's a good point.
I wonder if in such games it's worth nominating Family Stand as 1st choice?

Can't get to WHU and couldn't find the resale listing thingy on the club website . But it was easy enough on the mobile app. Sold in 2 minutes.

Check your banking app to see if the money has gone out. That seems to have happened with some people BEFORE they receive the email confirmation.

Playing, who is the fastest, to get the resale tickets is going to take years of my life.

Got one for this at least.

Nothing mate!

Same happened with me for the Brighton game i.e. no email to tell me I was unsuccessful.
I was also unsuccessful for the Villa game, but at least I got the email informing me.

There’s a thread on here for posters who are after tickets mate. Would you consider posting in there next time please?

Could have gone to a touting site that

 

[jonesey10]

so are tickets being offered out to forever members or just forever + members?
I mean is itr actually getting to the forever members stage or selling out before?

It's gone back to the club and I was immediately credited 1/19 of my ST price . From what I've read on here it's quite complicated to transfer a ticket except to '' friends and family '' and none of them wanted it .

I think you probably need to outline to the members on this forum how you think this could occur, as I cant see how it is possible. I am not saying it is not possible, I just need to you tell me why you think it is in this case.

1) ST holder cannot find a friend and family to txf to.
2) Only alternative is put back to club, and receive 1/19 of ST price back, which he did. Thanks for doing that rather than nothing.
3) Club lists on portal, avail to FB+ (and, after a while FB not plus)
4) Those who failed in ballot scour for resales, and pick off ONE per FB or FB+


I suppose a tout could have created 00s of aliases and paid £30 for each FB membership, and is scraping them off the resale portal as they arrive. Then some mechanism to get them to the end buyer at the big tout premium (but even seatunique are only at £125 in this match). In this case, because all tickets are electronic, it is hard to see how the end user gets the ticket on his phone or app which doesnt have a FB or FB+

This is a genuine attempt to understand if there is a flaw in the new system, not knocking the quoted comment. Is it possible and I'm just naive?
