Sargent Pepper Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I go more to away games than you so I get priority. It's bollocks. Actually that sounds pretty fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 It's just made everything complicated when it doesn't need to be. But it hasn't though, has it. There's a couple of days during which a minority, as a reward for loyalty, get a grace period rather than slogging it out for one of 1,500 tickets across up to 9,000+. Well done to the club in my book. And, fwiw, I don't qualify for first priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the loyalty I've shown following bcfc for the last 45 years, been to 7 away games this season but 4 we're pay on the day, if I knew that out of the blue the club were going to concoct some loyalty scheme with so many flaws I would of got my away tickets direct from the club and not potd, what is so wrong with a first come first serve scheme which always seemed to work quite well in the past? . Yet another ticket cock up from the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another ticket cock up from the club You say it worked well but look at the flak the club got over Swindon. People were crying out for a loyalty scheme then. Now the club has introduced one. Yes it's not ideal, yes from the start of next season I'd expect the club to have a better system publicised from the off and yes it might seem unfair to some, but seriously take a step back. 1) the class of people who will be eligible will be far fewer than the tickets available (admittedly I presume and I presume the club considered this - otherwise I'd be with you) 2) the limit is one per person 3) these are people who in all likelihood would be on the phones at 9am on the day or at the club shop - they won't be in the queue when it's on sale to season ticket holders 4) it's a token gesture to frankly people I would agree perhaps are deserving of some recognition. What pleases me about this is that the club has heard the issues in Swindon, acknowledged them and tried to react. The easiest thing would be for the club to do nothing, let the slog commence and afterwards say sorry we'll try and fix it next season. But they haven't. The club has tackled the issue head on and has developed a scheme based upon the information available to it in a manner which is administratively simple and easy to manage and monitor. As I said next season I fully expect a more robust system in place and in place throughout, but as an interim measure good on the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ealing Robin Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Me and my old man have more than the 4 plus away games and won't be going. If people really want a ticket for this fixture they will get hold of them. The club have cocked up once again on ticketing, however at least this time they have sought to make a rectification.

Pearcy Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 It maybe a stupid question but I'm gonna ask it anyway. Do away Cup games count in the 4? I have been to 3 league away cup games and 1 cup? What I've read doesn't specify if it's just league or if cup is included as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness I haven't seen anything which confirms one way or another. I'd imagine cup games would count.... Double if the away game was Gillingham!!

Aussie Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Exactly this - bring in a half arsed ruling coming into the end of the season Loyalty points etc is the way forward, but it can't be implemented coming to the end of the season!! FFS ! Exactly. A points system on tickets bought with the club is the way forward. In my office everyone has it with their respective clubs. Yet we remain like a L2 club in regards to organization. I travel all over the country watching us - including places like Doncaster on Tues - yet get nothing in regards to priority. I'm not bothered about Yeovil. I always pencilled it down that the STH day trippers would buy them up. So it's no loss. Points system really needs implementing. The club have all your details when you buy so it really isn't hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkedarm wall Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Making put policy as you go along will always cause unrest, especially when they there is a committee of about 10,000, to satisfy!As an old boss of mine used to say when he made a decision that was queried, 'the committee of 3 sat and 2 were absent!'

Reading Red UTC Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeovil tickets are available now. Just bought mine online. It states on the online ticketing service that you need a minimum of two away games. Not sure if this is a typo though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatalist Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Went through on line, sweet as a nut. The only thing is, they charged me the standing price for a seat! Also, Yeovil has disappeared from the list of games available. Is this because I've already booked, or has someone discovered an error, ot is it just me?

Reading Red UTC Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 As suspected there is a small loophole in the online system! I've already purchased a standing ticket. I was able to go on and get a seated ticket as well (I didn't actually purchase the seat before I get told off). I imagine this will work for different age categories as well.

The Chaplain Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Well that was all a bit odd. I've just bought tickets online for me and my son for Orient, Crawley and Yeovil, no problem. I only had 3 away games up to MK and he only had 2. It wouldn't let me add him as a beneficiary to his 16-21 tcket for Yeovil but was no problem me buying that an my adult one as well!
