Yet one more superb members ticket sale from @LFC.
Each web page takes perpetually to load. Refreshes each time you choose a seat so you must restart. The “choose a seat” choice errors out if you use it.
How do they fail at each sale?
An entire shit present twice a season.— Phil Allen (@Phil79Allen) July 17, 2024

As if us supporters don’t have anything to do right now then simply wait half a day to purchase tickets. No work, no every day tasks, no household to spend time with, no kids to maintain.
Worst factor is, this “situation” occurs each time. https://t.co/KsQTjeqL74

Which is ok as a result of as a result of no person has bought a life past this, nothing to be getting on with, and taking a half day to attend for them to kind it out but once more is completely grand.
