I'm a season ticket holder who has travelled to the majority of away games in the last three seasons, but I decided at the last minute not to go to Sofia.
I now have to book another day off work (to add to the ones I have to book off to actually watch Rovers during the week, officialy I need to give three weeks notice for this, thankfully my employer is flexible) just to queue for tickets. Oh, did I mention I live in West Yorkshire, so add into the equation the extra 2 quid I normally have to pay for my tickets (my wife travels too) becuase the ticket office wont sell tickets after a Sat/Sun game when they are due to be released on a Monday. At least I won't have to pay that this, I'll just have to pay for my petrol instead.
I agree that there ARE enough tickets for the regular away travellers, the problem is how they are being alocated, this game has been hyped so much and there are that many non-ST holders that want to go, that every ST holder with any nouse will go and buy a ticket, BECAUSE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SELL IT ON FOR MANY TIMES THE FACE VALUE TO ANOTHER ROVERS FAN !
Why, oh why the club couldn't have made SOME requirement for stubbs for a short period (possibly even just a day or two) so that those that DO travel regulary get the chance first.
I can see it now, I'll get up at the crack of dawn and drive to Blackburn (using up another days holiday in the process), only to not be there early enough and end up having to pay a three figure sum for a black market ticket off some ST holder who got one by virtue of living on Bolton Road and having nothing better to do with their Monday morning.
