New Season "CARDS"

The new Season Tickets are now available but they are now a card and the good thing is 20% of Balti stan meals. But will the new design will prevent people from selling there season ticket to friends or family for games they cannot get to. They are now on official stanley website and look very professional. Also they are good because we no longer have to carry around a big wad of tickets every time we go to stanley and it also helps because my tickets last year kept falling out of the book. will the cards be read by a machine like at many other ground because if so get prepared for the first game of the season when it all cocks up and the game will be delayed because no-one can get in with a season "Card" because the "system is down"

Re: New Season "CARDS"

I think last season was the first time in a long time that the season tickets were booklets - its been a card for a couple of seasons before last - one season was even laminated but I dont think theyve ever been used with a swiper pass thingy system at the gate unless they have without knowledge in true big brother style..

I prefer the card myself - like you say - ease of use for wallet...

Re: New Season "CARDS"

Doesn't that leave the system open to abuse then? OK all systems are. But the way it worked last season and especialy the random decisions on page number was pretty much sound........ I can imagine cards being droped over walls and passed through fences..... Sorry i just dont want to see the club lose money

Re: New Season "CARDS"

Do they have yoour details on them if they do then anybody who is recognised as not being a regular season ticket holder should have to show ID BUT its still not full proof so the club probably will end up loosing money

Re: New Season "CARDS"

What is the problem with lending the card to someone if you can't get to a game. You've paid for that game , upfront to boot. There is always a chance they will become a regular once they have sampled the delights of the IES

Re: New Season "CARDS"

because the club is losing the extra money which that person would have paid to get in. For example i go with 2 friends who normally go but dont have season tickets. so if i couldnt go they would still go but one would get in for free so the club looses money. because my friend has not paid for the privalidge of having less to pay throught out the year (due to work commitments he can only come twice a month) the whole piont of a seaspon ticket

Re: New Season "CARDS"

I dont think anyone at any level is allowed to resell or pass on a ticket.. not even players. If they allow it then what happens at a segregated game if your season ticket gets into the wrong hands

Re: New Season "CARDS"

To be fair the club is not strictly losing money, it is just not gaining extra money ie recieving payment for someone who is not there. The loaning of a ticket to a trusted non-regular attender is surely a gilt edged opportunity to gain a wider if casual fan base. I am not suggesting you give your ticket to the first person you meet in the pub

Re: New Season "CARDS"

fair enough but the only way really for a club to progress is to get extra money from the gates without the EXTRA money of a casual fan the club will find it difficult to progress at the same spead they are now

Re: New Season "CARDS"

True enough, I think the whole issue of lending season tickets here there and everywhere is probably unlikely. The reason we have them is so we can attend every game and then some. My point is really that lending your ticket to say your dad or neighbour is in effect giving them an unofficial free sample. I think I am right in saying Rovers amongst have been doing this for a while where they have had cut price tickets on sale for low interest matches, no doubt from that you get your money back over the course of a season as some of the opportunist return and pay full price for future games. Further more the club has the opportunity for secondary selling, that would not occur if people are not there ie food,drinks, programmes, half time draw, raffle tickets. Most importantly you have a crowd to cheer on your team. It would be a sorry state of affairs if all the season ticket holders could not attend one week and you had 10-20% of your crowd missing (this is complete b*ll*cks I know) all those unsold pies would have to be warmed up the following week
