    What a stupid rule!

    Who goes to football on there own????

    The ticket sales rules for the playoffs are stupid. I can't get a season ticket as due to work I won't know from one week to the next if I can make it until a couple of days before. When I do go a buy two tickets one for me and one for my other half.

    As it stands I've been to 17 home games this season with her. Cost me more than a Season Ticket each. Just went to get playoff home tickets as I've booked leave. Turns out I can only get 1 ticket to sit on my own. Every time I bought 2 it was under just my customer number, no amount of reasoning with them could change the rules. I've now got to enter the lottery of General Sale on Tueday with all the glory seekers.

    Joke!

    Yeah I can see why that would **** you off. A common sense approach to it would be nice, but it's a case of 'computer says no'. Feel for you mate.

    disgraceful mate. if I were you I'd set your missus up with a customer number and buy them separate 'technically' next season.

    won't help you this time round but at least you won't have the same balls up next year if we'r

    Take it partially back. Been back to ticket office and managed to finally talk with someone who saw some sense (after asking to speak to a manager).

    Two tickets bought!

    COYR!

    re: What a stupid rule!

    I had a very similar situation - my son is a Young Ram member (i.e. 4 home tickets I would be ok to buy a second ticket but I had to use his membership number - after much questioning they eventually sold me the second ticket but bearing in mind I had made two trips from Nottingham to secure two tickets I would have been less than impressed if they hadn't seen sense.

    Can't believe they expect couples or families to buy tickets individually to get unique memberships.

    I realise there are always unusual circumstances when dealing with ticket allocations but you would have thought that these circumstances are fairly clear-cut.
