Seems you have to register the voucher with another site listed on the voucher, then bring the voucher to the box office no later than 2 hours before kick off to collect your tickets, and they wonder why they struggle to get people to go to their matches! What a pain in the ass! :roll:

Brilliant. God job I get in to Cardiff four hours before kick off. I'll have to head down and pick them up before going back into the city centre, before heading back down to Leckwith. Good times.

EDIT: and I emailed the Bloos ticket office asking them the situation. No reply five days later.

We want to sit on the side of the tunnel I think - that's where we were last year.

Ok.... well maybe we could all get Ninian tickets then as that's unreserved and we can get in there early and sit together.

Think you are right - pretty sure it's where we usually go to - it's opposite the main camera position aisling..............!! :oops:

There's definitely competition after Bath away, the way SS was hogging the camera.

I even got my ugly mug on there for a whole ten seconds!

Last season we were sitting on the side of the tunnel (the Grandstand) and we smuggled Degz in IIRC.

But I've drunk alot of wine and therefore could easily be mistaken!
