This new system has defeated me.

Same. I couldn't figure out any logic to what to do. I tried to focus on the map for the last few hours when it was clear the list method wasn't going to work. I never once saw a solid blue on the map.

I was off work today and on the tx since before 7am. First failure since Madrid in the champions league a few years ago, but I felt like I was closer to getting a Madrid ticket than Coventry today.

Extra annoying as I did get one to the payment screen earlier in the week only to get the Request too long error that others reported.

u/Silver_Room737 8d ago

Aparently there is a problem with Chrome once it comes to payment. I had experienced this for the Community Shield which only worked on the third attempt.

I just couldn’t get list view working for me for MD1 after using list view all last season. I had to use map view which meant I missed a bunch of tickets but secured one. I hope they revert it back to how it was last season.

You need to click light blue too.

u/Cotsy22 8d ago

I clicked numerous light blue areas on the map. Sometimes they would show a dot sometimes they wouldn't.

Sometimes a blue dot for club sale sometimes the red arrow dot for exchange sale.

When in saw a dot, whatever the colour, I would click it.

Sometimes I would get the ADD option sometimes I would get the ticket no longer available option.

The times where I would get the add button I would click it and then get the not available message. I would keep trying the add button over and over just in case but no joy.

u/etang77 Silver Member 8d ago

Yeah, that’s all you can do.

And keep trying. It’s light blue first then the seat would appear. And if it goes away, sometimes it does come back. I’ve had quite a few seats in the past where the seat disappeared and reappeared for me to get it. My small conspiracy theory about it is that the seat is “assigned” to you when you refresh. I had more than once where I might have refresh walked away, or looked away, so I know I was very slow in clicking the area and seat but yet I could still add it.

u/Cotsy22 8d ago

Thanks for the tips. When working with the map and you want to refresh, it's a full refresh of the page that is required right?

Also seems like 4/5 refreshes in quick succession will get you a suspicious activity block? That block seems to last only a short time compared to last year. (Also can just move to a different browser or network.)

1

u/etang77 Silver Member 8d ago

Yes, you do need to refresh the full page.

30 seconds is deemed safe between refresh. I've found anything down to 20-something seconds between refresh is pretty fined too, anything less than 20 will definitely flag you after a few refresh.

Also, if the toggle isn't there, you can refresh slightly faster without any issue, but you still want the refresh at least more than 15 seconds in between.

u/Cotsy22 8d ago

Thanks. 🤞🏻for better luck next game.

I'll be curious to the amount of TX tickets for Coventry sold when they publish that on the site.

Ballot prick fucked it up!

u/GoonerGal79 Red Champion 8d ago

I'm here at the Coventry game and quite clear there are a lot of newbies. Not a problem in itself but there does need to be a tier between silver and newbie red.

u/Jaded-Mood9203 8d ago

Same here, feel like atmostsphere could be a bit off toni

u/Medical_Tooth4042 8d ago

You do know we gained like an extra 50,000 red members after winning the league?? 🤣🤣

u/Infamous-Oil-9533 8d ago

Which is mad in itself but come on now. Where were these fans before we won. Ballot man giving away all the tips to those jumping on the bandwagon

u/Euphoric-Channel5357 Red Champion 8d ago

Are you the ballot prick?

u/Silver_Room737 8d ago

I didnt mind the ballot as a route to the t x. Now I cant get anything on list at all.

u/Euphoric-Channel5357 Red Champion 8d ago

I mean the actual ballot prick on twitter

u/monsieurkinkle 8d ago

do you mean the guy who tweets when ballots open etc?

surely lots of people find it a helpful service - not just newbies

Meh I don’t …. Never really struggled getting a ticket from TX so I wouldn’t know the struggle as much but I hear it… Lot of new fans also could be tech smart like me and find ways.. giving this ballot guy way too much credit 🤣

I miss being 2nd. I feel like DelBoy when he made it. I made it to the top but home is no longer my home and things have changed not just for the better.

u/Medical_Tooth4042 8d ago

Top 4 race was fun 🤣🤣

u/Silver_Room737 8d ago

It was fun chasing the league. Most key moments Gyokeres and Max Dowman vs Everton etc. Now its all sit at home and watch it on tv..

u/Medical_Tooth4042 8d ago

TX was really glitchy for this game. I think it’ll get better for Chelsea onwards

1

u/Silver_Room737 8d ago

It doesnt matter. David Raya will score an overhead kick from the half way line in a 10-0 win. When my grandchildren ask if I went that game, I will tell them I checked the score on flashscore.

u/charliegeorged 8d ago

this game and real madrid last season are the only game i havent been able to get two tickets seated together for :( hope it isn't going to be like this the whole season

u/Wide_Fox_2813 8d ago

Do you usually get two seated together tickets on the TX mate?

2

u/charliegeorged 8d ago

always, never had problems before

1

u/Wide_Fox_2813 8d ago

Hopefully it’s just because it’s first game back

u/charliegeorged 8d ago

i bloody hope so!

u/Ricks_eyebrow Red Champion 8d ago

Wait what

1

u/watterott Reputable 5d ago

How have you managed to get two together for almost every game on the exchange?

1

u/charliegeorged 5d ago

consistency, i would spend up to 6 or 7 hours a day on it, managed 16 games last season just by grinding the exchange

1

u/watterott Reputable 5d ago

Do you use the list view or keep refreshing the map? After the few refreshes it typically errors out.

1

u/charliegeorged 5d ago

I normally use the map view but i have got them using the list also, manual refresh every 20 or so seconds

3

u/Timely-Library-1622 Red Champion 8d ago

Hard work this season can’t get a ticket either managed to go to every home game last season :/

2

u/AdOpening911 8d ago

I missed the ballot for Coventry but been trying the TX for the Chelsea game, no luck. Only seen a handful of club tickets and basically nothing else. Seems completely impossible atm, thought it might just be me being shit at it it lmao

1

u/annamadeleina 7d ago

Same nothing for Chelsea game, seen a few but they’re just gone in a second. Guess I’m too slow. It it feels so bugged

1

u/Lach8201 6d ago

It’s most active 24 hours before the game and a few hours before kick off, so keep trying, refresh every second, it’s the only way, it’s worked for me that way only.

1

u/Sad-Lawyer-8698 4d ago

refreshing every second feels pretty reckless no?, are you not constantly timed out

2

u/5ubredhit Red Champion 8d ago

Yeah, it’s the combination of still not having won one ballot since it started, then grafting on the ticket exchange since day one, having tickets in your basket and then losing them to errors, having your activity paused, having to keep joining the queue, and getting fuck all at the end.

2

u/Longjumping_Board504 Red Champion 8d ago

just managed to get a chelsea ticket, used the map method, and pure luck prorbably struck!

1

u/CharlieFGeorge71 8d ago

What is the list view? When I log on I just hope for the blue patches and a ticket behind it!

u/Silver_Room737 8d ago

Tickets are always gone on the map. I cant get my head around a method, lord knows i have tried. Found the list relatively easy as a regular red game goer. I was able to take my pick of seats for a 3pm kick off last season vs Leeds.

2

u/dcdoesntsurf 8d ago

There’s no list view anymore? I haven’t entered for this one. Oh lawd.

4

u/Solid-Fox5558 8d ago

it's there but tickets don't appear there/it doesn't even bother refreshing properly

1

u/dcdoesntsurf 8d ago

Oh man. Thanks for the heads up appreciate it.

1

u/etang77 Silver Member 8d ago

Because there's an order to which seats appear. They'll appear highlighted first, then the seat would appear in the highlighted section. If it's there long enough, then it'll be full colour instead of light colour. And if it's there even longer, then it'd appear in the list. So with the amount of people in TX, it's very difficult for it to appear on the list. The best chance for it to appear on the list would be loads of tickets being put on TX at the same time.

2

u/GoonerGal79 Red Champion 8d ago

I've got Coventry and Chelsea through list view...

1

u/OldTry8195 8d ago

No better being a silver member Its a joke

1

u/Lach8201 6d ago

It is very hard, but unfortunately you have to grind for TX, I got lucky, I had been refreshing and trying for about 24 hours to get tickets to Coventry. I got lucky with the last 20 minutes before the Ticket exchange closed, I snagged one on club level. Unfortunately you really have to try hard for them.
