[Anonymous]

How the hell can some people get up to 8 tickets whilst others get nothing??????

[TF_mosellajase1]

all on the draw~sick ~sick ~sick some more lucky than others me full of bad luck

[adam1Participant]

i cant find the draw on the AT site. if i go in the user area it says the draw is underway ?

[bodgeParticipant]

5 out of 10, better than last year i suppose. at least for a change i got venues i know. barford, larford, staff moor, viaduct and willy. does anyone know anything about reserves yet?

[TF_Mike Herrington]

How the hell can some people get up to 8 tickets whilst others get nothing??????

---

because they have been backing fisho since it began and have purchased more than 50 tickets to be a vet. they get to chose upto 8 venues where they have a better chance than average to get a ticket and they are also allowed to apply for those other venues that they haven’t selected as their faves.

[TF_TonyCurd]

I got 7/16 not bad going I suppose considering what a struggle it is, I got none in ’08!

[SteveS]

still no email for me! ~naughty ~naughty

[TF_carpmagicParticipant]

I notice on the angling trust site it now says people will recieve email notification over the next two days.

[SteveS]

fingers crossed then.

[disco pinkieParticipant]

had mine got 1 out of 3.reserve list isn’t on site yet so you never know could be low down on them!

[royboy]

got 1 out of 3 like last year, larford

[Anonymous]

So what we are basically saying is that fisho is actually a closed shop and is only really open to people who have fished it before?

[TF_Mike Herrington]

hmmm in a word….

NO!!!!

[TF_AKMEGAJParticipant]

2 out of 2 for me (shame I didn’t try Boldings too – I may turn up anyway and try and get in as a reserve).

[TF_Tim_D]

“Over the next couple of days all successful applicants will be notified via email with their successful qualifier venue/s.”

Do they write each individual email or something?? The draw is computer generated, they have our email addresses, there must be a way of a mass email shot to all of the successfull.

[TF_dellaboy]

Do we think people are getting more tickets this year due to not so many people applying this year ?? Has this anything to do with the trust?

[TF_Mike Herrington]

Fish Silver….know what you mean.

All those that haven’t received a ticket all say it’s fixed..it’s crap or whatever.

The fisho was sold again this year, the only reason people get more tickets than others is just down to the draw and if your a vet then you are guaranteed 6 six anyway.

[TF_stradic]

4 from 6 so not too bad, i would have liked to have got barford though…nevermind 🙂

[TF_baitchefParticipant]

[TF_wozz]

I must be the unluckiest man alive!! applied for 4 tickets each year for the last 7 years and only ever had 2,and none for 5 years. None again this year by the looks of it.

[Anonymous]

Dont take this the wrong way please….But i haven’t got any tickets cos i never bother to enter this competition as i just dont like the way its run and winner take all finals are totally not my thing..As it stands at the moment,it is not open to everyone who applies either as there are numerous anglers who miss out altogether whilst others receive multiple tickets,i dont think that thats fair..I also think that the payout for section winners in the qualifiers is piss poor aswell bearing in mind how much it costs to enter each qualifier…I also believe that the top 3 in the final should split the purse which would give the anglers who are not on the winning peg something to fish for,there’s nothing worse than sitting there knowing that you’re just an also ran watching someone else bag up whilst you can do absoluteley naff all about it and knowing that there’s nothing else to fish for.

This is just my thoughts and opinion of course and I know that a lot of you wont agree with what i’ve written but fair play to those who do apply and good luck to you,you certainly need it.

[lockie]

applied for 2 got them both. Willingshurst and Monk lake.

[worm drowner]

3/3. Barford, Monks and willinghurst. gonna go tie some rigs. yippeeeeeeeeee

[TF_Tim_D]

Ah, just this minute got my email! Out of 15 got 8, can’t wait!

[TF_mosellajase1]

still nothing~sick ~sick ~sick ~sick ~sick

[TF_gazmalman]

Why on earth dont they just post the lists on the site, would take no more than 20 minutes to do and those of us who are still in tha dark wouldnt be sat wondering.

As someone whos been quite lucky with tickets up to now I do argee with those who state its unfair that some get lots of tickets and others none. I dont men the vets club, i think thats fine, but a compleatley random draw isn’t the best way. I would propose a prefrence system where you pick your qualifers in order of preference that way everybody would get at least one and it would more than likey be the nearest to your house. If anybody from the AT is actually reading this I would be happy to write the software for you to run a draw like that.

[TF_mjk380]

been pressing the refresh button on my emails for the last 6 hours…….. still nothing applied for 8 was hoing atleast one 🙁

[Kingsway Allstar]

Have 4 matches on the same day spread around the country would split the tickets fair imo

[TF_houlty]

panic over just had email applied for 11 got 4 lakeview moorlands larford and boldings,same venues as last year ????. happy days.

[Col DumphyParticipant]

7 out of 14 for me, very happy with that

[TF_MarkT]

If you fish more than 50 qualifiers you become a vet? which means that your guaranteed 6 tickets?

Is that right? because what will happen is in a few years there be that many vets in it it will get harder for new angler to get tickets.

[con2302Participant]

Wozz you will still be at Barford at 7am in the hope of getting in!

[Pola Bear]

i went in for 10 and got 7 well happy…

Taken fron A/Trust site.

”Loyalty Ticket – Veterans List
Matchroom, at their discretion may distribute loyalty tickets to reward anglers who have supported the event over the years. This year all qualifying anglers will be communicated to directly through Matchroom with guidelines on how to apply for their tickets and the number of tickets they are entitled to.

3 out of 7 = reserves to been seen

lardford
woodlands view

happy days

[TF_dellaboy]

Still not had my confermation yet !!

[TF_Nigel.]

Right, same moans every year!!!

The vets club is for past winners and former anglers that have fished quilifiers from the first year.
At the same time the vets club was introduced, the peg numbers went up from 100 to 130 to compensate for the vets, so there is still to this day 100 pegs per match for anyone to enter.

The guy who said he had applied for 4 tickets each year for the last 7 years is incorrect, as 2004 2005 and 2006 i applied for 16 each year, and got all 16 each year, and the event wasent sold out like it has been for the last 3 years.

The swap to all comercials in 2005 has been very succsesful, and the event continues to be sold out, even after introducing AT membership to entrance.

Matt Hall by the way still ony gets 6 vets tickets even though he has now won twice, (once when i was on the next peg!) i cant see that being done again to be honest. And by the way, he got 11 tickets this year.

Some guys put a LOT of effort, traveling, money, and commitment into tyring to quilfy, and deserve there rewards.

[TF_crwhites]

neither have i…it does say that confirmation emails will be going out over the next two days

am i right in saying that the veterans club is now frozen , apart from the eventual winner of fisho each year?!

so even if you reach 50 qualifiers you wont be a veterans member now , unless you win the fisho crown!!

That wasn’t a moan mate it was a question hence the ? mark, thanks for clearing that up though.

lakeveiw
tunnel
partridge
moorlands

only ever seen lakeveiw and after the good hiding i had off the next peg last year didnt really want to see it again! haha

[ForestEverForestParticipant]

I don’t approve of Fish o’ Mania – its a circus put on by Sky Tv. As far as I am concerned Sky have ruined football in this country and don’t do fishing any favours either!

I think the multiple entry system is total pants, one angler – one entry!!

Its a real pity the £25,000 is not used to promote a team event instead.

I may get shot down, but they’re my views on the subject!!

[TF_proper tidal boy]

cant wait to watch the final on TV FEET UP AND CHILL

[TF_Nigel.]

Thats right Jono, only the winner gets in the vet club now. Matt Hall wont be getting 12 tickets though, lol ~clap

[Anonymous]

I dont bother with Fisho anymore since it was changed to a computer only entry system and the need to give my bank details out. This in effect restricts many anglers from entering the competition who dont have a bank account. Dont want to give personal bank account detail out on the internet or dont have access to a computer. The old system of entering was much better in my opinion.

I agree with you Gaz re the system of allocating tickets. Everybody who apply,s for a ticket should get one based on preference then second preference if the first choice preference was not drawn.

Think those who backed the competition in the early days should get preference to a number of tickets. Without those vets. The competition would have folded after only a few years. So, they should be rewarded.

Who doesn’t have a bank account these days? haha surely everybody/most people have one, how can you go through lafe without one.

[TF_gazmalman]

Its the only way that the tickets could truly be distributed fairly TB. At the end of the day all of us who have entered this year are members of the trust and should have an equal chance of compeating. There would be other benifits too, I reckon with a prefrence system most people would get 3 tickets and more than likey they would be the three nearest your house. It would cut costs hugely. I also suspect it would cut down on no shows.

Personally I think the vets club should be ‘phased’ out over a few years.

I say this as someone who has fished 6-8 qualifers a year for the last few years. I just think it would be better for the event and the sport to have the most even method of allocation possible

[Anonymous]

I dont have a bank account, trav849. Or at least. Not one that pays for things on the internet. Mine lets me get money out of the hole in the wall and thats it. The point i was attempting to make. Is that you need a computer and a bank account with a card that allows you to pay for things. You also need to be prepared to give your details out. Something im not happy to do!!!

[TF_Johnny Mac]

Trueblue, I thought all your money came in brown envelopes 🙂

[Anonymous]

Agreed, Gaz. Think the big issue is that the event is not set up for anglers convenience. The anglers pay whatever is asked of them to fish in the competition. 100 peg qualifiers are now 130 peg qualifiers. Entry fees have gone up over the years. Now you also have to be a member of the A/T. The payout is still £25,000 winner takes all and a biggest fish prize. A sponsor was found for the competition. So, Matchroom make money. Sky make money. The A/T now make money. I bet they get payed by Matchroom for running the competition. And you now HAVE to be in the A/T. The fisheries that hold the qualifiers and the final make money. The anglers have to put up with the way the tickets are applied for and the way they are allocated. The anglers pay more for there entry. Have less chance of qualifying for the final and the prize has never gone up. It could be better in my opinion!

Brown envelops, Johnny? I get white envelops at Partridge, mate 🙂

[TF_gazmalman]

The fisheries have to join the angling trust at £450 to hold a qualifer though TB so they dont make all that much, one or two will be losing money compared to what they would make with a normal open.

Thats when peg fee’s start to go up to cover what they’ve lost joining the trust.

[Anonymous]

£450, ouch! Bet the fisheries are not happy but im sure the cost will be passed on very soon. Its ok. All match anglers have loads of money except me!

[TF_Fordy]

£450 to get a qualifier isn’t much when you consider the exposure each fishery gets on Sky. We show about 4mins on each match to tell they story. 4mins of telly costs a lot more than £450!!

[TF_Mike Herrington]

Have they not got lists of who is/who isn’t and reserves on the qualifiers posted yet!!!!

[TF_dave brittain]

The last two times I applied I got 2 from 11 and three from 7 or 8.

This year I applied for 9 and was gobsmacked to get all 9 although half are mid week ~clap

Looks like I’ll be wracking up a few miles this year ~sick

[TF_respect]

I applied for seven got two.
Partridge and Heronbrook,~clap

[adam1Participant]

applied for 12 and got 6

woud be nice to see the reserve lists some time soon

[TF_Rhino]

Got 7 from 12. More than happy with my number of tickets though disppointed I wont get my annual trip to Viaduct this year, a place I really like but its too far to go for an open (400+ round trip!)

Just spoken to Sandra at the AT – she should have the full reserve lists, down to 150th, by the end of the day. This is much better than top 50 as it gives you a better idea of your chances by turning up on the day.

They dont do the emails by computer btw – Sandra does them all, quite a job that.

[TF_Rad]

applied for 3 got no email yet getting worried now 🙁 think the wife has paid em more not to give me any :/

[TF_Bear361Participant]

Anybody who hasn`t got a ticket don`t forget to check your spam folder. For some reason thats where my one ticket was.

[SteveS]

Just checked my emails got 3 out of 6! Larford, moorlands and tunnel barn.

[TF_DaveD]

It was my first time applying, applied for 7, got 3.

Moorlands (never fished before)
Boldings (never fished before)
Partridge (My “home venue”)

Well chuffed and can’t wait….i don’t expect to do anything but just looking forward to the experience.

Need to ask advice on the two venues i haven’t fished and get some practice on Partridge now!!!
