Head in the clouds Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I have received 4/5 refunds on my season ticket, I received an email for each refund which will be paid onto my credit card which is of little use as will pay off the current balance rather than me being able to access the money. I was not contacted by Bristol Sport to see where I wished the money to be credited. My point is, they must have kept my credit card details and assume the details of all purchasers of tickets on file, which if they got hacked would be a major breach of the GDPR regulations and lead to possible fines of 4% of annual global turnover in each case which would even bankrupt the chairman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denbury Red Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I’ve just had a long chat with Jerry! Well yesterday as the site was having some maintenance done and I said I would put the following on the forum to help answer quite a few questions he’s had ..... Last week they started with option 3 - ticket crediting option :- their software didn’t allow a single payment to be made for all five matches so the staff had to key each match ‘refund’ separately - this generated an email (to the email used when the ticket was purchased), but no actual payment was sent to the Card (as this was an internal credit to my supporter account). After two ‘refunds‘ had gone through they found a way to stop subsequent emails going out - hence the reason for me to have only two emails. Although I will now have x5 credits towards future tickets. Next they actioned refunds - this they have done this week, match by match - so in my case I bought two season tickets for which I have asked for a refund, with one Card payment, hence I have had x5 emails representing two tickets (for each match). The emails generated are being sent to the email address that was used at the time the tickets were purchased, in the same way that the refund is going back to the card used at the time of purchase. Because Card refunds have to go through the BACS system, like salaries, these payments will take 3-5 days to show on the Bank or Credit Card account. If someone banks with, what was a Building Society, Nationwide for example, the payment may take longer to arrive - but the instant the email is generated the payment has left BCFC and is in the Banking system. If someone is concerned they have received a new card since the season ticket was purchased, the payment should still be received - this will definitely be the case if your card has just been renewed. However, depending on the Bank, should someone have registered their card as “lost or stolen”, since the card was used to buy the season ticket, it is possible the payment may not get through - those customers will need to check their Bank account - allow 5 days for receipt, and if not received, contact Supporter Services as Payment would have been sent back to BCFC. So in short - the emails this week should have generated a payment back to supporters and by next Tuesday or Wednesday most payments will have been received! Mine have now shown on my Credit Card account as a ‘pending’ transaction which confirms they will actually be in the account in the next working day or so .... Hope that helps! By the way - refunds have to be paid back to the card from which they were collected - not a breach of GDPR - as the club only have the last four digits of the card!!!

Dynamite Red Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Nothing received yet or any emails, plus I changed banks last year though the direct debit was transferred to the new account. Why the club could not communicate the above to us I don't know. This is going to end up being a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoPal Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 So, here's a query! If I choose to buy a season ticket for 20/21 on installments, am I still obliged to complete the full payments, even if the season is cancelled after a few months due to lock down, in order to eventually qualify for a refund at a later date?

I would imagine there will be a section in the T's & C's regarding data usage... If you lodge a request for them to delete your data, which each person can now do, they have to delete your data within a certain time period. A company should never issue a refund other than to the card of which paid for the product. That's always been the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzol Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Still not received a refund but I paid for mine monthly and not by card like most who have received a refund. As for the OP it's not the clubs fault you maxed out your credit card. They're just refunding the payment method like any other company would. You didn't pay for your ticket the credit card company did so the money is going to the right place imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 3 season cards times 5 games each all now refunded pro rata at circa £19 per game each. Thank you BCFC. We have purchased 3 season cards for 20/21. I just hope that we will be able to use them. Not sure if/when next season will commence though. Feeling a little sad that this season has ended so badly though with COVID, poor performance and LJ being fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
