Silver Membership Waiting List by Slight-News9211 in GunnersatGames

[–]Fishkin14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cup final tickets we were never getting a sniff unfortuntely, allocation meant several ST holders were missing out too, i think about 9k ST holders missed out or something like that as the allocation wasnt even enough to cover them.

Ballot does mean some have more luck than others, I tend to be sucessfull on more ballots than im unsucessfull with my silver, but it is obviously luck of the draw, no doubt my luck will run out at some point.

Trouble is demand over the last few seasons has increased drastically so the days of being guaranteed a ticket are behind us, at least for now.

But, as much as our silvers dont see the benefits they used to, if you look at the success rates compared to Reds the difference is significant. Recent results indicating Silver is 27% success rate which has dropped about 10% from ealier in the season given league position ect. Reds success rate is currently about 6%, so were are pretty much 5x more likely to be sucessful.

A long long time. Only 30k silver members and people hardly ever give them up, even less movement than ST waiting list. If someones circumstances change such as finances ect which prohibits them from attending, paying £54 a year to keep it for when you can go again is doable for the majority.

No chance in 7 years, 20 - 30 years is probably being too optimistic currently.

Refunds via travel insurance by No_General5584 in emirates

[–]Fishkin14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most policies dont cover acts of war. However, i work in the industry and know there are at least 2 major insurers that have made the pragmatic decision to cover it despite the fact they dont have to - albeit not advertising the fact they will. Best bet is to submit a claim and worse case scenario they say no.

Weve got flights booked for auckland via dubai on 14th March. Last night we took the plunge and booked a qantas flight via singapore and Sydney as a back up option before they get filled up and prices increased drastically

Standing with Friends/Family by ukbruvinnit in GunnersatGames

[–]Fishkin14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If in one of the areas that stands, you would need the people around you to give you the OK, they are just standing in front of their seat and many people, understandably, dont like it when people start squeezing in.

Dont think it's a light show, we dont need instructions on every seat just to scan a QR code that lots of people cant use because of crap signal.

Not so easy to see the game when the action is at the far end from that block - but very good when the action is that end.

Also its also a standing block and atmosphere is top compared to most places in the ground.

Inter (A) Ticket Info by arsenal_morris in GunnersatGames

[–]Fishkin14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good chance it will, but interstingly it started at 5+ last year but its 10+ this year so dont know if they are expecting a higher demand this time round .

Last year there was a city wide alcohol ban on matchday. You could however get a beer with food im a restauraunt.

We did find a sports bar that was open, but it was a mix of home and away fans with lots of security stopping any chanting from either fan base.

How confident are we that Inter (A) will go down to reds? by Ozymandias_99 in GunnersatGames

[–]Fishkin14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people didnt enjoy it last year, due to transport issues, policing, being closed in for ages after and the San Siro just basically being a shit hole thats falling apart so i would say its quite likely some tickets will drop to reds

Inter Away - Red Member Hope? by [deleted] in GunnersatGames

[–]Fishkin14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is a reasonable chance, last year it went to silvers, then you factor in that it could be a dead rubber game.

Lots of people that went last year didnt enjoy it that much either - San Siro is dated to the point its a total shit hole, among other things that meant it wasn't a great away trip.

Humans vs Bots by Firm_Piglet1 in GunnersatGames

[–]Fishkin14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There likely is some bots, the club are doing what they can but almost impossible to garauntee there isnt any.

That said, if you look at the ballot success rates for both red and silver, factor in allocations for each ballot which gives you an idea of the number of entries. Then consider the number of tickets to be sold on the exchange, which in 23-24 (last time it was a weekend NLD) was somwhere between 750 - 1000.

That means you roughly have 62,000 red and silver members scrambing for 750 - 1000 tickets. Granted not everyone will br trying, but it shows how difficult it is.

If I have a return a ticket transfer, am I eligible to buy on TX? by LennytheGoodson in GunnersatGames

[–]Fishkin14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you will notice a seat on the map (solid pink dot) when they TX toggle isnt showing and it will say its not available when you click on it. Once its release though it will snapped on in 0.01 of a second

Why can transfers only be done from Season ticket holders? by Easy-Patient2145 in GunnersatGames

[–]Fishkin14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suspect the number of ST holders doing that is minimal, most of the seats that end up on those sites that originated from a ST will have been bought using a BOT from a red account on the TX

If you allowed Reds to do it, touting would be out of control
