havanatopia Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Fellow Bristolians... I read the Pompey discussion about the farce of the ticket and queuing debacle remarking that a £45 million 'new' Ashton Gate deserved a 'fit for purpose' ticketing system to boot. I have experienced that now first hand, I have to sadly say. The biggest disappointment, to put it mildly, is that I have stayed way beyond my 'affordable' time in the UK just to see the first match of the new season before I have to fly back to Manila. Are my hopes going to be dashed in spite of numerous attempts to buy on-line and over the phone all to no avail. To be met with an answering machine on Monday at 1640 that said words to the effect 'It is after 5pm and our ticket office is now closed' was rather a kick in the chops to be perfectly fair. And after being advised via email that there are no tickets left in spite of the wonderful ladies helping me last time I am left with no choice but to get on my hands and knees on OTIB and beg for 1 or, preferably, 2 tickets if any kind soul might have anything available. I will keep my fingers crossed something comes up. The Match Day threader will be a thoroughly miserable old fruit if he has to sit at home and cry into his tea cup.

Bar BS3 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I have enjoyed your pre match reports on the matchday threads and I am unable to attend the Wigan match on Saturday. You are welcome to use my season ticket in the Dolman if you like and we can arrange pick up and drop off for the ticket. PM me if you are still looking for one. I also have a 2nd child ticket seat next to mine. I don't let people try and get in on the child ticket, but the seat is available, if you can get hold of a 2nd ticket anywhere in the ground and then use that seat.

richwwtk Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I was under the impression that more tickets would be available after the inspection sometime today? Might be worth waiting until the morning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 There may be more tickets on sale later today/tomorrow depending on the results of the SAG meeting today. (Unless that's happened and none more can be released) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, I'm not sure who best to ask on here, possibly @Dollymarie would know, or @Mkelly but I'm sure if you or @havanatopia called the club they'd happily take the difference between a child to adult ticket in cash and give a paper match ticket for that particular seat on Saturday. I did it with an U21 ticket my cousin had 2/3 seasons ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to do it at the ground though and I don't have time to get there and sort it out, hence getting a 2nd ticket anywhere in the ground and using my 2nd seat probably being easiest, on this occassion.

If an adult uses a childs ticket on Saturday or in future. It will be taken off him/her and the person whose ticket it is has to collect it in the week from the ticket office with proof of identity. Entry will also be refused for the adult on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, I would never let anybody (adult) get entry to the ground using my son's child ticket. But it does mean there is a second seat reserved next to my adult season ticket seat that he could use if he was to purchase a second ticket for any other part of the ground.
