You could cut the club a bit of slack and think it’s first game of season, maybe the home club aren’t organised etc. But our ticketing operation has been crap for years, that this is probably indicative of what will happen for rest of the season. Could have waited till Friday before putting on sale, for a few days notice. Arguably, tickets are more likely to get resold how the club don’t want, with ticketing sales like this. Because people will buy and just pass on if can’t go.
Now I have ten minutes to decide whether I want a ticket, because I’ve been completely blindsided by the email that I opened this morning.
