Sold out of adult tickets before they've even gone on general sale, excellent response from the fans. Hope the Wakefield club are going to be organised for the big crowd that will be there. Decided against taking my little lad back to Belle Vue though after some of the issues last time we visited. Hearing conflicting info regarding whether it ihs to be segregated, which isn't a great start if fans aren't aware before arriving at the ground.

I've just been now and they have more adult tickets and have requested some more too.

Too late to segregate. It's not beyond possibility that they will be more Bulls fans than Wakey fans. Can't put us all down the side! Got mine and they was a steady flow of people purchasing tickets. Reckon they will be completely sold out by the end of the day.

Great response from the fans!

Do we think can't see lauaki being anywhere near not after last match, I've given him so leeway but he was dire against fax, going to be a tough match, and who ever gets the crucial score be for HT will fun out winners I feel, really need to be up for this no excuses now, first day of the rest of our lives (or at least next season)

My son has just been and got ours. Was told that they'd sent someone to Wakey to get more!

Completely amateurish organisation from Wakefield. What made them think that 2K would be enough for the Bulls? As a result there are almost certainly (judging by FB) hundreds of Bulls fans buying tickets from the Wakefield website...

Which is possibly what they're comfortable with, given we'll take a percentage for any sold through our ticket office.

They are giving you an initial allocation in line with what I imagine are normal rules. It appears you are being given more so whats the problem?

Look the ground is what it is. In terms of percentage of capacity Wakey aren't doing anything wrong by giving us the initial 2k. They haven't introduced any rules to prevent purchase directly from them instead. Is all this faux outrage because it's squeaky bum time or what?

Re: Million Pound Game - Wakefield vs Bradford : Mon Sep 28, 2015 12:56 pm  

I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a backlash against the Bulls for the way they are selling them.

Firstly I tried this morning for a full hour (until I had to go into meetings) and everytime I was in a queue and then put through to answerphone. No call back has yet been received!!! The main frustration is that despite ringing up, you then have to join the back of the phone queue just cos the club aren't set up to hold people.

The second issue for me is the rumours that folk are buying ridiculous multiples of tickets depsite it being apparently members only. Surely with only 2400 on offer it should be 1x ST = 1x Ticket??? Just hope those that are posting 10+ tickets on twitter have 10x memberships to back it up.

As it is, I ended up managing to get a ticket from a reletive who went to buy at the ground. She had my ST just in case there was this scenario but I would imagine that many have fallen foul and ended up not knowing if they are going to get one.

I hope those that don't get one from Bulls make effort to buy from Trinity. Would be great if there were so many Bulls fans that they ended up having to segregate the crowd in favour of Bulls behind the posts!!! Doubt it though.

More likely because they'll probably try and herd us all onto the Western terrace again - which, given that more than half of the tickets will be sold to Bulls fans, is going to cause a whole load of problems.

It would have been easier to have beaten Halifax, then the problems of the tickets would have been theirs???
But why worry because what is- IS ?
