You could also phone up as they were selling some (for those who want to sit) via ticket office rather than online.

Got placed in a queue and then they sold out. Bought a Gold Card as its only going to get worse as the season progresses. Re-sale it is. They’re pretty on it in the ticket office though. Sorted me one in the re-sale for Gillingham quite quickly.

All it means is a mass rumble for tickets on day 1 of gold card sales.

Bit of a gravy train for the club and really should be an upper limit on numbers sold as should guarantee you a ticket as that is the sole purpose of gold cards.

If gold card members start to not get tickets then they are pointless.

How does the re-sale work? Do you have to call in to the club shop or ring up

Same here.
I gave up buying a Gold card about 10 years ago when Norwich away had the letter priority and you never needed it for any other game.
I might get one again now although I’m a little uncomfortable with the fact the club are selling them mid-season as it’s effectively saying “you can have a ticket for Southend if you pay £15.00 above the face value”

How does re-sale work, do you have to just constantly ring up to see if tickets have been returned. Or leave a number and join the back of the queue.

I've emailed them and left a message with my customer number asking them to contact me with any returns they get. Got a quick response about 3 days before Gillingham so we may have to wait until nearer the time but at least it's logged and i should be first up given i logged a message at 9:05am!

I bought a couple of gold cards a few weeks ago. You get a free ticket, goody bag and a few free beers. No brainer.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

The latter. Tickets will be returned i dribs and drabs i imagine so its a case of phoning up or leaving an email with the ticket office.

They say that to stop people calling up every 2 minutes. Why would they 'expect' returns? Peoples circumstances change and 3 and a bit weeks is a long time, they will inevitably get a handful or returns but not loads I would imagine. Worth the odd call to check from my experience.

I don't have a gold card and didn't try at 9am but I think I've managed to get a pair through the back door.

He just said normally they would but for such a popular and close to home game people tend to pass on to family and friends. I guess no chance we get allocated more ?

I tried @ 08:30 and got a message about not being a GC holder.

Although the internet is a 24/7 market place [unless disrupted by ransomware] apparantly someone has to flick a switch when the offices open at 09:00.

Think Sarfend better get ready for an influx of new fans, many of us live far away from Suffolk

Yes, tickets only go on sale online just after 0900 as each new priority group is reached because apparently someone does have to manually trigger it.

Obviously if you are in one of the groups that is already on sale then you can buy online at any time.

Not sure that is what they are saying, the gold card has been available since the start of the season and gives various benefits including a free ticket to a home game of your choice (already pays for itself) and 50% off coach travel for one away game.

TBH, I didn't buy one at first as I was unsure how the demand for away tickets would go, but it now seems silly not to buy a gold card if you are looking to go to away games.

We've always had them, since they were first introduced around 20 years ago.

Been invaluable over the years, but the annoying thing could now be that too many people have got them, thus reducing their effect.

In theory, the club should cap Ultimate Members + GC Holders to the capacity of the smallest away allocation we will receive (Wimbledon, 750).

Things have rapidly changed from "What is the point of a Gold Card?" to "Must have a Gold Card".

I have had one for as long as I can remember, possibly as long as you have.

The fact that there has recently been a big run on them sort of reduces their value but hopefully when necessary the club will take into account previous away games attended.

If not, on occasions, the ITFC Direct site will be crashing just after 0900 when tickets go on sale to GC holders.
