Lrrr Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Just a point perhaps, today is the first day of general sale for season tickets isn't it, perhaps they're a bit rushed today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOZZYBCFC Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I appreciate they may be rushed but when you are in Customer Services you shouldn’t let that get in the way of providing good customer service. I had a similar experience on the phone on Friday - I could have been shirty after waiting twenty minutes to be put through, but I wasn’t! Courtesy doesn’t cost anything.

Rossi the Robin Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I was fuming the other day because I was going around in circles. I didn’t take it out on the nice lady though, she sorted it out in seconds when I finally got through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re your cross charging point... Surely 99.9% of transactions you undertake come as a blended cost with include staff? Not sure why buying a ticket needs to be different. We don't get a discount at the supermarket for using a self-service checkout, and if you buy a bit of clothing from a shop, the price you see is the price you pay, there is no getting to the till only to be told that, well, there is an extra pound for staff, 50p for electricity to power the till, 80p because you are using a credit card, but we will deduct 25p as you never used our changing room.

Hampshire Red Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Bristol Bag, do you ever do the shopping? I go to Tesco and pay 33 or 50% more for the same item than the guy in fron just becuase he has a Tesco card; 50% more!! Also when you clearly need a cheap bag to put multiple items in they will charge you for abag that cost nothing! Now, back to football; Hoping Owls and Millers can send the Rams down tomorrow and give us more news after today's joys from Hartlepool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakes Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Here is my latest experience with supporter services or Bristol Sport. Attempted to renew 5 season tickets online when they became available, due i believe to my eldest son's age being over 25 next season he had moved from an under 25 to an adult season ticket. The system seemed to be unable to process this and when i tried to select his seat i had a message saying seat already allocated contact the club by phone. Which i did the next day, they had the same problem when trying to book it on the system but did some sort of work around to fix this which resulted in me having to pay a £10 booking fee for the 5 season tickets. I then found out that if i was to have booked online which i originally tried to do i would not have had this fee. On April 29th i sent an email to the club to request a £10 refund due to having to book the tickets over the phone through no fault of my own to which i had the following response the next day 'A £2 booking per season card is applied when you choose to renew by phone. This can be avoided by purchasing online.' To which i replied i did not choose to book online as already explained. I had no response to this email so on May 5th i emailed the club again and had the following response the next day 'Please can you give me the error or issue online please so we can investigate this further. ' To which i replied again giving the same information, over a week later i have had no response. If i had this problem with any other purchase i would request a full refund and not deal with the club in future but due to being a fan and not a customer this will not be the case. #fannotcustomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to carrier bags, can you please provide me with details of the factory that makes them completely free of charge. As for the charge on the bag, you do know that shops don't set the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is a common plastic bag charge. Bought in as I seem to remember for environmental reasons to help reduce people using them . But when you consider the bags are mass produced to a level where cost micro pence to manufacture. Even at a cheap price of 10 or 20 p . Someone in the chain is making a tidy profit. Which is obsecene as it is an environmental reasons not a profit making reason. Just another sad case if profiteering in the supply and demand farce we live in . The profits should go to environmental impact causes or double tax paid on it . Another part of greed and **** you attitude of the powers that be . Judy how I feel. The modern capatalist ideology is obsecene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Billy Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 I wonder if the booking charge is somehow connected to the way the football club trade? Bristol Sport and Bristol City Holdings? Might be some way of keeping cost out of the football club to allow more spend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
