winsleyred Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 People were showing stewards confirmation emails etc, but their tickets were not at the away end for collection. a steward had around 6 envelopes with tickets for collection, but plenty were missing. I presume that the missing tickets were ordered from your club and brought down to us to be collected so what your saying is we lost them, not that your club didn't bring them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yes good one kevin, you beat our reserves (unconvincingly too I may add). I was with you until this one. Unconvincingly? Are you sure? We had 65% of the ball, 20 odd shots at goal, 17 corners, to be honest if it wasn't from some poor finishing on our part and some decent shot stopping the game would have been about 5-0. Yes you had 10 minutes in each half when you were pushing and looked on top, but I really don't remember Fielding having a save of note to make, and other than Mcshefferey's ping off the post you didn't really look like scoring. We won comfortably without getting out of third gear if i'm being honest, although I think we will play worse teams this season!

CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 The scunny websites clearly wrong. The club have comfirmed that they will not be selling tickets to away fans on the day for any game this season, due to the limited capacity. Every game this season is all ticket for away fans. Maybe a mix up in communications. I must also add that the turnstiles at the home end of the Ateyo seemed to be working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think it is an absolute disgrace after a 400 mile round trip! http://iron-bru.com/18147/ You seem to be taking some unfair flak from some of our supporters - who would have been moaning like **** on here had it happened the other way round. So to even it up. It would seem that Scunny made a misleadingly ambiguous statement on their website (No POTD ... Tickets on day of match cost..."). Mistakes happen. Scunny are to blame for the initial mistake, but Bristol City are far more culpable for a failure to exercise some common sense and respect towards their "customers".

havanatopia Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 If BCFC have confirmed there is to be no pay on the day and if they have cleared up the ambiguity that buying a ticket and collecting at the ticket office, both on the day, is also not possible then fair enough. Someone at City seems to have felt that by selling tickets to around 100 scunny fans on the day, if that info is correct, would be the best way to deal with a potentially rowdy bunch of fans causing a bit of a nuisance outside the ground. i.e. to avoid that prospect. Once they reached a certain number either by discretion or because there were not enough seats left there was always going to be some left without the ability to watch the match. I would say, therefore, that City employees seem to have taken it upon themselves to try and overcome a potentially tricky situation by using some common sense on the day. So, to recap, if the facts are correct then we should be saluting BCFC not having a pop at them. I might suggest, however, that the powers that be at BCFC send out an email and a letter, by recorded delivery, to each and every team coming to the Gate this season and make it crystal clear what the policy is.

Admin Ian M Posted September 7, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 What evidence? That SUFC posted misleading info on their website. City's message has been and will remain all season that away tickets for AG will be advance sale only. Scunthorpe muddied the waters by publishing matchday ticket prices after earlier in their article stating tickets had to be purchased in advance. It would also appear that as Scunthorpe were responsible for selling tickets to their fans that the missing tickets upon arrival was not City's fault either. From past experience with City these tickets go with the team/supporters coach and are available to pick up once this has arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that is evidence as we don't know why Scunny put the potd information on their website or where they got that information. It is feasible that we gave them that information in error I would be surprised that if BCFC told Scunny that there was no potd, that Scunny would then go seeking out potd prices and info. I assume the prices are the Atyeo home side potd prices. There is no evidence as to which of Scunny or BCFC made an error, and I expect none will ever be released, so it is difficult to have a go at or defend either club. This does not appear to have been an issue in previous home games (well, no one has come on our forum to say so), but I also don't understand why Scunny would seek out such information if told there was no potd; clubs saying no potd is hardly an unheard of situation so they must be aware of how to deal with it. I agree, the lack of tickets for collection would appear to be a Scunny issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way in read it, it appears Scunny published the matchday prices to show the savings to be had by buying early but created the impression matchday tickets would be available.

Dave L Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Taking all what you've said at face value (and I'm not doubting you for a minute) it seems to be a case of getting wires crossed, then cut. Under other circumstances I'd call it a farce, but in reality it's scandalous! I hope at the very least people get their travel/ticket costs reimbursed are compensated for their time and effort. Just when we seemed to be getting it right off the pitch. I am sure Dave Lloyd will be looking into this first thing on Monday. Actually I'm looking into it now at 10 on a Sunday evening. S****horpe were told that there would be no sales on the day. I was in the office when that phone call was made, but it seems as if there was some misinformation on their website as to the availability of POTD tickets for away fans. We can't be held responsible for that. Regarding what happened on the day, that's something I'll have to look into when I'm back in the office, but having worked all weekend that won't be until Tuesday. I do feel for any Scunny fans who made the long journey and weren't able to get in, and I'll try and get some answers in due course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Interestingly, Doncaster Rovers (playing this Saturday), mention no-where on their ticket page that this will be all ticket for away fans (unless I am being blind!); although unlike Scunny at least they don't mention POTD prices.

Antman Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hmmm 'numerous' seems to be about 4 or 5. so lets keep the whole thing in context - given the reduced capacity, unless the on the day system is able to count up how many have been sold in total, I can understand why they might refuse, but common sense should prevail and someone should be able to judge it on the day. sorry to the fans that didn't get in though. Its not a suprise to us that the ticketing is still not working properly, but why can't the club get on top of this? we can lay a million pound pitch but cant sell tickets? It is shambolic down there, i experienced that myself yesterday, being told to queue to pick up rugby tickets pre booked by phone, by a 'here to help' person at the williams, waiting for 15 minutes, then being told i couldn't and I had to go to the other building, that had a queue as long as a long thing. this was despite a chap I know being three places in front of me, being given his tickets!! then one of the Atyeo queues was massive and the steward blamed people for turning up late!! (his exact words were 'aah well, i guess its trial and error ...') is it the automated systems or the lack of bodies on duty? how do other clubs do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 It's a bit poor, really. I understand that the Scunny fans should have checked, blah blah but that website was not clear and also - let's be honest - they're hardly public enemy number 1, so would it really matter if they sat with some home fans, say in a nice quiet bit of the Dolman? Admittedly I've not travelled 200 miles to do it, but I've turned up at Wycombe and Luton amongst others with no ticket and got in 'somewhere'. As long as you don't look like some extra from "Scum" you should be OK. Plus there's more likely to be trouble if you don't get in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
