Obviously wouldn’t want to be phoning when there’s another match being sold, but sometimes there’s no other option. Thanks Dave, doesn’t seem right to me, missed out again for an away game for the umpteenth time just because I can’t buy on-line like everyone else, absolutely impossible to try to get hold of anyone on the phone, surprised the club are allowed to get away with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less wheelchair plus cater tend to go away, so it’s not really been an issue. But something it’s worth emailing Jerry about if it’s in a non-wheelchair area.

Non-wheelchair, the fact is that I’m not given the same opportunity as every other season ticket holder when trying to purchase tickets for popular away fixtures, oh well what should I expect after over 50 years of support, I don’t seem to remember having a problem getting a ticket for Northampton away when we were 92nd in the league and watching a 7-1 defeat!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I totally get that that’s unfair. For info, usually you’ll get the day 1 - online only, day 3 - phones etc. you don’t have to wait til day 3, just phone them on day 1 and tell them online isn’t possible, and they’ll sort on the phone. I know that might still require hanging on the line, but likely that wait times will be shorter. I’d suggest raising with Jerry or Gareth Torpy.

Montpelierblue Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 I haven’t seen bouncers on pub doors in the city centre daytime, stay away from the ones that attract football fans like spoons and you’ll be fine. There’s about 50,000 (mainly English or non welsh) students in cardiff aswell as shoppers from allover so I’d be amazed if an accent stopped you getting in anywhere….. go off the beaten track a bit maybe…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in my case it wasn't an accent but the fact I couldn't show a Cardiff/Welsh address. Obviously students you mention would be able to generally.

One Team Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 What’s the usual approach for getting drink at Cardiff away then? Sounds like getting in pubs is unlikely, is there a Welsh equivalent of the Natch Wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t buy tickets with a carer on line, the system doesn’t allow it, the reason they gave was “ anyone can say they need a carers ticket and get one for free” !!!!!!
