For an exercise carried out at very short notice, and which attracted criticism in various quarters, I thought it actually went fairly smoothly
Seems demand was greater than expected and some people left disappointed after queuing for several hours
One idea I heard a few times might help with a couple of aspects
On entry to the arena, people are asked how many tickets they wish to buy, and are given the requisite number of tickets 1 to 500 on that basis
Anyone arriving after the 500 have been exhausted would have the option of leaving at that point or hanging on for any left over by people not taking all those they originally requested
Issuing tickets in sequence, one only for each ticket, would mean no possibility of "saving a space in the queue" for later arrivals, rumoured, but I didn't see it myself
I'm sure the Devils organisation will have their own thoughts, but they might welcome constructive ideas from ourselves
