I think they ask to see NUS when you pick your tickets up! I couldnt get any adult tickets and i aint going to get down the gate today so i got student ticks and i reckon they wont bother checking too hard as half the people turning up with student tickets wont be simply because they couldnt get anything else even if they were online at 9 on the dot... funnily enough i am a mature student and have a card but my sister, who is a regular, is a lecturer so she might have to borrow something off her students or just blag it , i really cant see them turning people away....

I was ringing for hours to try and get it that stupid que the other day for telephone tickets, and was hung up on everytime, as i was told everytime to hold for the next availiballe operator and then hung up on anyway, i may send the club my telephone bill, as i was given false information...it should have said 'please hold while Colin Sexstone makes some more cash, and No operator will deal with your call, we,ll then hang up on you and you can ring back again for a chance, a slight chance of joining the cue, thankyou for your money' not even a goodbye if i recall correctly.

Guest snowy_RDFC Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Just got back from the gate. Was up at 5am, got in the queue at 6.15, 15th in line, fold up chair, flask of tea and test match special to get me through, posed for the journalists, and scored my 4 dolman tickets easy! :DJust been fiddling around with the online ticket shop. Ridiculous. Firstly all sold out, then available. Then just students, but can only buy 1. refresh. now only OAP tickets left. again can only buy 1. refresh. all sold out. refresh. students again available. again can only buy 1.absolutely crazy!! Why are there cerain allocations of tickets!?! Surely it's just a set number of tickets and then discounts if you qualify for them?! And heaven knows why the refresh button is the key to making more tickets available. I thought internet sales was a crazy idea. Firstly it disadvantages the people who turned up and queued in the freezing cold. And it's a system that is open to going wrong in so many ways! As the "refresh saga" has indeed proved. I thought phone sales would have been a far easier, and fairer system to operate.Still i've got my 4 tickets! With 2 more to come via the sponsors!! i usually moan at corporate allocations but when you know the right people it can work to your advanatge!

Nibor Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Last week I was well happy with how things were going for my club. I even made a post on here that we could turn Oldham over, I was full of enthusiasm. I was starting to think that this might just be our year. It takes a lot to get some of us City fans into that frame of mind because of the seemingly endless disappointments of the last few years.Anyway, I had a little long weekend trip over to Ireland to visit family, left on Thursday first thing. I knew the Boro tickets were going on sale and I called over 20 times on Friday and wasn't able to get through, they couldn't even put me in a queue.I called again on Saturday morning another 3 or 4 times (I'm not even sure if it was open).I called again yesterday as soon as I got through arrivals at Bristol Airport at 1pm.Now at this point, despite all this hassle I'm feeling good about the club, we're doing well in 3 competitions, bringing in pacey players and we got a fantastic result on Saturday.I finally got through at 1:30 to have some idiot tell me that the deadline was an hour ago and refuse to give me any help whatsoever in getting my season ticket seat for the game because the tickets had been sent to another office - and then lie to me when I asked to speak to someone senior and tell me noone else was there when I could HEAR Sexstone in the background.As a result there'll be some Billy Big Game who can't even recognise the players sat in my seat against Middlesborough and the only way I'll get to see it is if I can scrounge a sodding east end ticket off my brother. (I've nothing against people who want to use the east end but for me personally the view is shit.)I'm going to be popping in for a word or three with Mr Sexstone later this week and explaining to him in no uncertain terms just how the arrangements for this game were a complete and utter shambles. There's absolutely no excuse for it.There was never any need to put any tickets on general sale until this week and there's no reason other than laziness that a season ticket holder can't use the internet to reserve theirs - all it needs is a house number/postcode check. They didn't think it would sell out? Then they're totally incompetent, a cup game against a Prem side when we're on form was always going to sell out.It pisses me right off that all that positivity that GJ and the players have worked so hard to get fans feeling is drained off by the inept commercial management of the club.

Nibor Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Just phoned the ticket office to give them one last try before calling Mr Sexstone and spoke to someone who was actually helpful this time. Result - I got one of the last two remaining tickets in block D in the Dolman, not in my seat which had been sold despite being sandwiched in between my mates but at least I can see the game now.If anyone's in a similar position, in that they're a season ticket holder who hasn't been able to get through, try giving them a call now and explain it - you might get lucky. They'll only sell you one ticket though obviously.I still think the club need to do have a serious look at the whole shambles and explain what they're going to do differently in future and I'll be writing to Mr Sexstone to suggest some things (that may include getting a sodding clue).

Don't confuse him with someone that gives a ***k.I really get angry when I hear him refer to supporters as "punters".............a term which to me conjurs up the image of a mug - someone who is to be relieved of as much of his money as possible whilst giving as little as possible in return.CodeRed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
