Am I the only one ?

What im saying is i have seen quite a few saying they have travelled up and down the country buying tickets without actually being a member/st holder.

Not sure how they could put a system in place to reward that loyalty but something should be done there.

They have a database so know who's bought tickets in the past. They could've allowed people on that to buy tickets instead of general sale if they'd thoguht about it for 5 minutes, rather than just allowing ST holders and members another option to buy additional tickets in phase 4. It's ridiculous.

Oh right apologies got ya now, fair comment actually. I suppose the club needed to draw the line somewhere, as if you went into infinite detail it would result in analysing every game each individual went to as a non-ST or member than went to Blackburn & Blackpool away would be arguing that he had a right to tickets as early as a ST holder that hasn't been away - opens a can of worms.

Think that whatever system was opted for it would have been knocked by some, the way it's been done is a simple & pretty fair way of doing so IMO, especially as I don't think anybody will miss out - 37k tickets is more than enough for a club that doesn't sell out an 18k stadium week in week out. Spank's above post is spot on IMO.

I've paid an arm and leg for Wembley Club - no membership or ST needed, chances are tickets will go on general sale but I'm not taking the risk so paid the money. Appreciate its difficult for people with large families/kids though.

Agreed that neither should be allowed to buy four before general sale.

Lets hope that's the case and that people with tickets for sale dont look to bend fellow fans over and extort them for as much as possible.

I do think our allocation will pretty much be gone by the time it reaches general sale.

QPR fans profiting from fellow QPR deserve to be filled in

Agree spank but its already happening fella.

Saw a picture on twitter that showed a conversation between fans on Facebook where some geezer was asking for 75 on the 50 priced tickets. When challenged about overcharging he reacted in a proper muggy immature way.

They only thing I think is a shame is being able to buy a further two tickets before general sale.

You should get your two and thats it.

Otherwise selling them on for a profit is bang out of order and not very 'Rssss' like

My first post on here, although I do read the forums quite often.
I've been a member the last 5 years, although I mostly can only manage 2 or 3 games a season. That doesn't mean that I don't follow my club. This is a 47 year old who was unable to watch parts of the game on Monday night, through sheer nerves...I was freezing the picture on TV everytime Wigan got to our area...(like that was going to stop them from scoring)

I will be getting 1 ticket as a member and no more as it isn't fair for me to get one for members of my family who would like to go but are not R's fans ! Hope all true fans get a ticket, even if I feel slightly ashamed that I'm getting one and only been to 3 games this year. Having got to Wembley and waited 28 years for us to get there it may never happen again in my life time, that's my weak excuse if I need one !

Really hope everyone who applies gets a ticket.

Agreed they should at least follow the clubs policy on buying and selling by either selling for less, losing the ticket or just give it away.

I don't know why people are moaning, if you don't buy a S/T or a membership at the start of the season, you know what the risks are if you want a ticket for a big game....you might not get one. It is a choice you make at the start of each season. I totally agree with how QPR have done this, keeping as many tickets as possible out of touts hands is the best thing for QPR fans.

If you put tickets on general sale too early the touts will be straight in there, and then us QPR fans will be paying well over the top to get tickets.... and the same people would be moaning again!

[QPR Richard]

QPR 'fans' selling tickets to make a couple of quid are total Rssss holes...

[stanistheman]

That thinks ticket policy is fair ?
Bit fed up with the moaning.
2 per season ticket holder is reward for paying hundreds up front at start of season .
1 per member is reward for paying into a scheme for priority tickets .

Once you do the maths there may not be enough for 2 per member as only phase 1 and 2 are guaranteed so it's right that members have a chance of 2nd ticket on a first come first served basis then season ticket holders then members get the chance to buy any left over and as r's fans we can ensure that as few tickets as possible get into the tout hands as that's what happens with general sales , before anyone says you have to have client ref numbers I know for a fact touts have client ref numbers at most clubs as you only need to buy once and your registered.
The main point here is to ensure that tickets go to r's at face value.
I know people that have no membership etc that are waiting for general sale think it's not fair but qpr have put a scheme in place to try to keep the tickets in r's fans hands then they can be passed on to friends etc waiting for general sale.
In 82 I had to pay £25 each for terrace tickets with face value of a fiver as we only got 20k tickets and I did not have a season ticket and could not go and Q up , qpr are doing their best to stop us being ripped off by touts etc and are rewarding those that payed upfront , I know it may seem unfair on some but well done qpr , what was they supposed to do ?
I am a member and have had people who have nEver been to loftus road asking for tickets with all the excuses under the sun.

I have no real issue with the 2 tickets for ST holders and 1 for Members. It’s the phase 3 & 4 where they are allowed to come back for more tickets, which will either mean a lot of ‘fans’ who don’t watch or care about the club; tickets being sold on for a profit and many other non member fans who watch games but don’t have ST missing out.

More like registered touts, or even staff, or players, you never know.

they could still have the phase 1 & 2 selling 2 tickets to ST holders and 1 to Members, and then have a general sale to fans who are on the club's database and have been for a while (most of us on there will be genuine fans). They dont have to sell them on to any one who requests a ticket.
