Priority if you went to Blackburn.

It's the same for Northampton too..

Well done to the club for that. Got it out there as soon as they announced prices.
-
Sensible move for what are relatively small allocations.
It might encourage people to buy tickets in advance for away games too so they don't have to mess around taking stubs up to the ticket office - that way the club get more in ticket commission from the other clubs in the league.
I am already stressing out about how I might get to away games towards the end of the season when I have barely been to any preceding it, although saying that, even Hartlepool made members sale.
-
There aren't as many small clubs in this division so Wimbledon will be one of the few where you might miss out on this away ticket priority I'd imagine.
It doesn't help that the tickets haven't been sent to us early enough for this or the Blackburn game, only two working weeks to sell the tickets in isn't good enough.

I'd have thought two weeks is plenty enough time, especially when we have a home game so people can buy/collect then without having to make a special trip to the ground.

It is usually 3/4 weeks though and that spreads it out better. For instance, fans wanting to go to all these games have to buy Wimbledon, Hull and Northampton tickets together this week due to the delay, that's not always ideal for people's weekly budgets.

To be honest, I'd have thought Northampton could have been held back a week. The ticket office will be incredibly busy this week.

Agreed, out of drfc control I suspect though

The onus is on the home team to deliver to DRFC 4 weeks before the fixture takes place.

Oh 100%, wasn't intending to say it was down to Rovers as I know we can't do anything until the home side send us the tickets. I thought it was pretty poor that, having had the entire summer to lead up to their first home game, Blackburn couldn't get the tickets to us earlier. Wimbledon apparently have had a technical issue regarding theirs which may be why they were delayed.
-
I bought Blackburn Tickets on the day, does anyone know if there is a way I can get these put on my account for future away games?
Cheers

You need to take the stub to the ticket office
-
It's just as well neither of those fixtures were the opener as it would have caused chaos. I'm a firm believer it's first come first served end of !
-
A reasoned approach from the club, but unfortunately online ticketing system doesn't seem to recognise past purchases.
I've tweeted the club, so will update on here for anyone else who's facing this issue as well.
UPDATE: If your account isn't recognising your past purchases (i.e. Blackburn) then if you call up and speak to a member of the box office staff they'll rectify it for you.

I phoned up for mine yesterday, she asked me if I went Blackburn and I said yes, went quiet for a minute *typing of keyboard in't background* then she was asking for my card number.
I've either got a really nice polite phone voice or the problem is sorted.
-
Must be that they've sorted it then ;)
It was more an issue when trying to buy online I think, but yeah it's fixable with a phone call.
