What was u saying about uptake for norwich being slow?

Carl do you know when the Jacks game goes on sale?

So what's the point in the club putting out a release date for the sale of these tickets for 9th October, yet organised travel groups can reserve hundreds if not thousands of tickets leaving little for those who don't or can't travel via organised travel? Seems a pretty unfair way of dealing with those of us who follow City home and away from outside Wales

Travel clubs can only reserve tickets for those who qualify ...eg if Carlos coaches got 100 tickets and to qualify for a ticket you have to have done say 6aways then Carl will have to give the club a 100season ticket numbers of people who qualify ...the point is there should be enough tickets for all those that qualify regardless to how they travel ..not sure where the problem is

Well being that carlos had a coach to nearly every away game last season and probs had near enough the same people every week i think this is a fair way for those fans, people forget that last season we hardley sold out for away games, even when we was top from november onwards, the fans should have realised that a qualfying catorgy would have come in for games this year for loyal fans, why couldnt they make the effort then? but can make the effort now? same as hull this season, only sold half our allocation why was this? because we been there last season? well in future games for the likes of liverpool and you had to do 6 away games this season to qualifer and you didnt go to hull it will let you down, dont support the club away when you feel like going to a big ground support them whereever

I dont see an issue really, though I can see where people can get annoyed.

As long as it is only reserving tickets and only people who have done 6 away games as dictated by the club gets a ticket no complaints from me

I have been doing the coaches for 4 seasons and I can count on one hand the number of games in that time that we have not filled the coach.

Last season alone I run at least one coach to every game bar one and they were always full.

Some games I run two coaches to games and on a few occasions I run 3.

This season I have run 7 coaches in total to the 3 away games.

I am not getting an unfair advantage over anyone, what I am doing is taking the hassle out of sorting the tickets of each and everyone who travels with me, they don't have to queue, phone or collect their tickets from the club, there is no booking fee for them to pay either.

The people that travel with me deserve their ticket as much as the next fan because they are there supporting the team week in and week out.

its no different from what the supporters club have been doing for years.

Exactly, so I don't see the problem.

there seems to a vibe today that youre giving tickets to your regular travelers on your coach even if they havent made the 6 away game criteria.

I dont know enough either way to comment really

have all the 100 tickets youve been given only assigned to fans who have done 6 away games? (being devils advocate dont know how it works)

no issue at all with people who have travelled regularly getting first pick on tickets. I did 7 aways the season before last but could only get to one last year. I would like to go to Norwich but can't travel on any of the coaches as I have to go up a day early - what I want to know is if they are not on sale until 9th October is how the club has decided that there won't be a big demand but are willing to subsidise travel for this game [which is also a great idea by the way].

it's exactly the same as the supporters club, easier than queuing and worrying about if im going to get a ticket or not! it's not as if it's stopping you getting a ticket cos the travel group are reserving a lot, just book with Carl or Vince, simple as that!

Should be no 'vibe' at all.

There is no qualification other than being a season ticket holder or gold member for Norwich away.

This thread I created is to tell folk that the two buses I have booked for Norwich are full because my regulars have booked early.

well people started moaning about the Chelsea game and has spread into the Norwich allocation

unless im reading it all wrong

no issue at all with people who have travelled regularly getting first pick on tickets. I did 7 aways the season before last but could only get to one last year. I would like to go to Norwich but can't travel on any of the coaches as I have to go up a day early - what I want to know is if they are not on sale until 9th October is how the club has decided that there won't be a big demand but are willing to subsidise travel for this game [which is also a great idea by the way].

Basically the club felt that there would be big demand from the travel group members but as such the supporters club have suggested they will take 300-400 to Norwich judging by the bookings.

As a general pattern the rest of the travel group usually match between them what the supporters club usually take so going on previous form that would suggest the remaining travel group members taking 300-400 between them.

That means that 600-800 tickets will be taken by the travel group and Supporters club.

Leaving between 600 and 800 to be sold out of the remaining 1,400 from the initial allocation.

Now if the club want to have more tickets they would have to buy in full in blocks of 500 at a time, the club does not think it will reach the 1400 let alone another 500 at £35 a pop.

Maybe me taking 100 tickets is against the grain of what the other travel group members are selling in terms of their numbers but there is no need to panic.

There will be plenty of tickets available when they go on sale on October 9th.

I think it is is fair assumption by the club to think that the vast majority that plan on going to Norwich will be doing so on subsidised travel by those in the travel group.

Hope this relaxes peoples fears that there are not many tickets left available.

I have to say from the outside it seems a very strange way to distribute tickets.

why? people still have to meet the qualifications to buy tickets, just takes stress of people when it's just a text away from being sorted!

Why ?

Because it gives priority to those travelling on yours (and other) coaches who are able to reserve their place, and therefore their ticket, over those who wish to travel under their own steam.

It looks very much like the travel group including the official supporters club will be taking up to 800 of the 1400 tickets.

Leaving 600+ tickets for those who wish to travel under their own steam as you say.

The club believe that the majority who plan on going would have done so using the subsidised travel scheme.

The thinking was that we would take around 30 subsidised coaches amounting to approximately 1500 fans and a further 400 being on sale to those who would make their own way.

What about every other away game? Don't you get the same priority for those?

I must say Carl he does have a point. What if I decided to book on your coach to go to Man Utd?

You can't because you're a jack.

No seriously Gary, it is the same for every game, i have to put the name and fan number of each and every person that travels and they all have to qualify for the game.

I don't just get 100 tickets and hand them out to whoever I feel like.

Nail on head
These fans who suddenly want to go to games when last year they couldn't be arsed.
I didn't do 6 games away last year but not whinging like a bitch because I can't get a ticket for Chelsea.

Erm... Why are you assuming that those who don't travel with Carl or any other travel agent, don't regularly go to games?

Those who done 6 aways are guaranteed a ticket so it doesn't mater how they travel
