They've been down since this morning. Not great timing but then I can't see the club being happy about it either.

The only good thing is they have to sell the restricted view tickets before they can start on the next allocation. Hopefully they'l be back up soon but whats the betting that they won't answer the phones in the ticket office cos they're busy banghead

hats off to the girl who is answering the phone. all she can tell you is there are tickets left and that an engineer's working on it,but the call was answered straight away.good voice by the way I can see an idea for extra revenue for the club with that voice.

She asked me if I could come down to the club :wink:

and sounded disappointed when I had to turn her down.

Why would they sell the restricted view seats first?

Splod · **Posted:** Mon Sep 03, 2007 3:35 pm

I read on Rivals (from someon who'd been in the queue) that they were selling the restricted tickets because they have to sell them all before Leeds will release the next 800.

Miss Tigga · **Posted:** Mon Sep 03, 2007 3:39 pm

Is it true that you have to sit in your allocated seats or is it just b*llocks?

I think the restricted view seats are £2 cheaper

The restricted view must be behind Ken Bates, apparently his ego blocks the view.

Who the heck are Leeds united anyway? Do we play them sometime soon?

I've got a restricted view ticket. By the looks of the layout on the back of it, that huge stand may block a bit of the view. To be honest though, can't see anyone sitting in seats where you can't see the pitch, especially as there will likely be empty seats in that area due to the strange way that they've gone about selling the tickets.

Not bothered me, it'll probably end up like Darlo last year where you sit anywhere you like

Hello...I know this has been gone over but I think I might cry! i've never been on here before and had to register cos this is the only place i've seen any sensible information!!
All I want to do is get my husband a ticket for the match at Elland Road...I've been calling since 9am...seen the thing about the lines down...and got nowhere....and it's his birthday on Sunday...what better way than to see us win against the whites.
It's now nearly 8pm....does anyone know if it's worth me ringing for a ticket in the morning? I'm in Carlisle so can't come over!! Iwouldn't care but years ago I worked at the hartlepool mail NEXT DOOR....arrrrrrggggghhhh..... rage

Thank you.... :grin:

[and I've tried booking a ticket in the West stand via the Leeds UTd site...and that didn't work either - he's very well behaved and I'm sure will conceal his joy should we score... :laugh:

you'll need to be on the database CP. I still haven't got mine yet but fingers crossed i'll get through tomorrow.

You could always beg and plead I suppose, if you dont ask you dont get...........................

Right....database?? How do I register on that then?

I've already had to register on the Leeds Utd site and tick the box for "no I don't want any updates by e-mail".....I can cope with anything after that...all i want is one, small, perfectly formed ticket for the old man...

Thanks for the offer though...enjoy Scarborough!

:grin:

chessington · **Posted:** Mon Sep 03, 2007 8:20 pm

not that staright forward i'm afraid CP. You need to provide ID (in person). Unless someone on here offers you a spare I suggest you just ring and beg & please like I said. Good luck

Begging for me tomorrow,then.
Sigh.

Usual problem with trying to buy on the phone lines - you go through the system pressing 2 for the ticket office and no-one answers cos they're busy and so you end up with the recorded message. Press 9 when you get to the main switchboard for admin and they piut you through to the ticket office. I overheard that we've just about sold the original 1700. The tickets I could get were not restricted view. The girl on the switchboard said there was a stready stream of people but no real queues.

As always you can get tickets, but they like to raise your blood pressure first.
