It's remarkably quiet on booking tickets for QPR

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

We have shifted 1400 tickets in that time, I am possibly phooked When you take into consideration there are probably still lots trying to get their families and friends done today.

In my experience the ticket numbers left on the website bear no resemblance to reality.

Have a box at the Riverside through work... also have a personal season ticket which I've held for 30 years.. so don't know what you mean by 'us'.




1 for every box season card, same as all season card holders. There are 12 season cards in the box.

That "us" comment wasn't intended to be a slight on you BTW, more at the club who seem to have elevated corporate season ticket holders above their longest season ticket holders (with an acceptance that there may be a big overlap between the two groups) when it comes to purchasing tickets.

Assuming that I could get a box, with 12 season tickets (obviously subject to availability) today, and therefore be eligible for the corporate benefits you described in your original post, irrespective of whether I've had a ST previously ?

.. and without being open about it.

Yes, that would be the case.

All corporate/hospitality members ( those that have a box or season cards in the Fenton, Middlehaven, Ayresome, Riverside restaurant, Legends Lounge and Hardwick Bar) are given priority access to away tickets. You get a window in which you can purchase tickets, limited to 1 per hospitality season card held, prior to them going on sale to 'general season card holders'.

Yes I had a look 20 minutes ago and the number available had increased. What I would say is the top tier is all open and that holds just over 1600, the bottom one which is still to come available holds about 1300, that will probably be opened block by block.

 

[The_Lizards_Jumpers]

I think they are "open" about it, if you do a bit of searching on the website

If fans say live away and come to a few games a season the Hardwick Bar could be useful option.

Gets you up the pecking order for priority tickets for say £240 a year?

But it's not £240 a year is it, a ST in there is much more than that.

I dont think you get that privilege for £240.

3 games @ £80 per ticket?

The software shows every ticket in every basket as taken., regardless of whether it is bought or not. So, at any one time the site will show less tickets available than there really are.

General Exception call the administrator message, on QPR tickets

What does this mean in plain English?

But you need a ST to get the ticket privileges we're discussing, which is going to be more than that.

That's sounds like quite a number of people with access before the loyalty scheme (anyone have a precise number?).
Little wonder there are so many seats already taken for big away games, when they are opened up to the commoners.

 

[Redwurzel]

I was sure you needed a full season ticket to use the Hardwick Bar - it promotes itself as £80 per match. Just noticed the word "seasonal" before priority ticket access a bit sneaky that. Normally the work Season Ticket is used.

QPR tickets sorted now, I resigned in and it worked. I am in Y2 if people want to avoid me

 

[exeterboro]

After a little late afternoon unexpected drama I've gone back to counting tickets and it's still at around 1400 sold. So I look odds on to get a ticket on Friday.

 

[Zoophonic]

I had the same problem, then it just rectified itself like magic.
It's never easy.
Only 160 remaining in the top tier after 30 minutes of sales from 15:00.
Good luck!

330 tickets available now in the upper tier so presumably released another block. The. Lower tier hasn’t been released as yet I presume because none available to buy at the present.

I can only see 233 tickets available in blocks y2 to y6 inclusive.

I believe that 10% of the full allocation is initially offered to corporate members, and from conversations I've had with the club there's very few cases where the 10% of the full allocation is taken by hospitality members.

I attend 99% of away games and have never ever struggled to get my required number of tickets from that 10%.

That's useful to know(though it would be good if MFC could state this officially).
So a 2000 allocation is really an 1800 allocation for the loyalty point scheme.

In effect yes (I believe it's 10%! Don't hold me to that)... although as I mentioned, the majority of the hospitality floor, in my opinion, are non away match going fans so the percentage allocated for that is never taken.

I'd hazard a guess that right across the hospitality floor no more than 40-50 away tickets are purchased for the games through the priority access window. You also need to take into account that they are season card holders just like everyone else.. they're not just corporate sponsors with no interest in football being back handed tickets.
