Second City Red Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 We have tickets for Nottingham Forest on Saturday. I live in Birmingham (the username rather gives that away, doesn't it?). My sons live in London. I usually only now visit my home town for the Orchard Inn and a City match. I go to all of the Midlands matches, and previously, tickets to these games have been bought and posted. It seems that now this option is no longer available. So, unless I want to spend a long while in a queue at the City ground on Saturday, my only option is to drive the two hundred odd miles to Bristol to collect. Why can't the club post out tickets any more? We surely can't be that short of cash? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the same issue not living in Bristol and going Saturday but he has said we can collect them at the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTeamInBristol Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 If the option wasn't there when you bought them they have either removed the option as others have said or it was too close to the game to be posted out. I've had all my away tickets this season posted out to me no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted February 21, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 The club said on the last update that due to postal problems they would not be posted out and needed to be collected in person from the ground Like all other away games they will be made available to collect at the away ground so nothing new in this really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second City Red Posted February 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Thanks for your responses. I've previously had tickets posted, Birmingham, Coventry (wish in hindsight those had been "lost in the post!) etc but Supporter Services today (and last week) said "no posting". I've seen the queues for tickets at away games so don't fancy that- I'd rather be in the pub! Happy to pay any postage costs- cheaper than petrol to Bristol and back.

When City came to P'boro' they sent me an email to take to the Posh ticket office on the day and there was my ticket. I'd happily pay £1 extra for postage.

sugarwray Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Strange that the Q and A on the e mail confirmation for the Forest tickets includes directions to help you find Ashton Gate but no mention of exactly where to collect and when. At MK Dons away the collect tickets were delivered on one of the buses which arrived only 20 mins before kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamalagerdrinker Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Does anyone's payment keep getting declined?! I'm with Barclays and never had any issues before when trying to book tickets online Got a match-pass for tonight's game which went through straight away which is strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have collected away match tickets at games for as long as I can remember and not had a problem once. There's never much of a queue. Worst I can remember was Man City away in the League Cup, and even then we were all still inside before kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 My son's QPR ticket turned up 10 days after the game and a full month after he ordered it.

RedM Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 I believe you can collect from the ticket office near the Atyeo statue on match days. Otherwise it's from the club shop on non match days. When you purchase a ticket it should indicate a period when you can collect, after that the tickets get taken on the official coaches and given to the away ground's ticket office. Occasionally they are given out on the coach. There has been a problem with some bank cards for a few weeks now, certainly Lloyds. This is a Bristol Sport problem I believe, so try a different bank card if you have one. There has been huge problems with Royal Mail (?) losing batches of tickets, causing a lot of extra work for both us and the away club (Swansea) having to cancel and reissue tickets, that's why for the moment they aren't posting them out right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Just now, Spoons said: Regarding Royal Mail losing batches of tickets this is completely false. The only issues for RM in the BS postcodes during peak( December) were delays on delivery in Bs3/13 Bs4/14. These were 3/4 day delays. It’s not actually. The tickets were collected by a mail company from AG. They were unaccounted for since entering the Royal Mail system. It was all the Swansea tickets in this one batch. I am not referring to general delays in December that you are quoting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
