Re: Tickets for West Brom Match
 
It's the first paragraph Cashy, confused me as well - in fact the whole thing seems like it was rushed, also says at the beginning that tickets to season ticket holders, loyalty card holders & NON season ticket holders are on sale from Monday then lower down that non season ticket holders can buy them from Thursday?? Methinks it had to be put out quickly & there was no time for any proof reading :)

Lesson learnt from t'Burnley match - multiple tickets ALLOWED

It also says that season ticket holders can't have their own seats but they will endeavour to seat you near to your seat .
If that's the case they might as well let you sit in your season ticket seat .
Who's sorting this ,it's smacks of amateurism at best
What's the point of selling them early to season ticket holders, if they are going to sit you anywhere.

:) This wont apply to us Alan its those seat under the hospitality banner as last year :) Cant understand why its not called the main stand like it says in our season ticket book :confused: very confusing ;)

I don't know why they don't just release them all for general sale straight away. It won't sell out (especially since it's still peak holiday season) so may as well sell to whoever wants them.

Not getting your ST seat is just a first world problem. Go and stand in the Clayton End for a nice change - if it means someone who's a non-ST holder will pay £20 into the club coffers for your seat then all is well.

Got to agree M'lud.
As long as those who need a seat can get one, why all the fuss?
We all know that cup matches are not included in the s/t package & you can't blame the club for trying to maximise profit from hospitality, especially for big games like this.
S/t holders will still be given first dibs on a seat in the stand, surely a little flexibility is not unreasonable in this situation for the good of the club.
I pay exactly the same for my s/t to stand in the Clayton End as those who pay to sit, but I don't complain if I find someone standing in my usual spot on the terrace.

In that case why do I bother paying up front 2/3 months before the new season if I cant have my usual seat, that's the whole point of season tickets you get first choice :)

if you roll up on monday you should be allowed to have your seats. remember after the west brom game you,ll be there all the time for the rest of the season. no point having threads like waking up local residents if regulars are being giving a poor deal.

I have a season ticket by the hospitality and against PNE sat and enjoyed banter with PNE fans but attached to my season ticket was a note letting me no for certain " big " games I would be asked to move not a problem as that,s where I choose to sit. I,m confused by the article on the club site as to me it reads like no seat holder has the right to their seat this can,t be right and the club should put people straight.

You can blame them when it is still in the club charter this year (with same spelling mistake) which they ignored last year and the great business minds of the club managed not tell out an East Lancs derby for the first time in several generations:

Club Charter 2017/18

HOME CUP COMPETETIONS

Season ticket holders can claim their allocated seat during a priority sales period. After this specified period, any unsold ‘reserved’ seats will be made available to all other home supporters at the discretion of the club.


Also if the game is called off during play you still have to pay again for the second game either half price if called off in first half or full price if called off in second half.

So from what I can make out:
Season ticket holders and loyalty card holders can purchase from Monday - standing or seating. Bring season ticket with voucher A or loyalty card to obtain seat tickets.

Everybody else can buy standing tickets from Monday and any remaining seats from Thursday.

Everyone can buy as many tickets as they want.

Think the reason for not getting your own seats is so that season ticket holders can buy tickets for their friends/ family sitting together.

Lord Stiffupperlip 13-08-2017 09:45

Re: Tickets for West Brom Match
 
Copied from the fishy site:
◦Tickets for Season Ticket holders and Loyalty Card holders will go on sale on Monday 14th August at 10.00am
◦Tickets for Non-Season Ticket holders will go on sale on Thursday 17th August at 10.00am


Call me senile, but why all the confusion from some fans?
So the facts are;
1. S/T holders are being given priority for ticket purchase.
2. S/T ticket holders can purchase as many seats as they want.
3. No s/t holder is being denied a seat in their chosen stand.
4. Most s/t holders should be able to purchase a ticket their normal seat.
5. If '4' does not apply, the nearest available seat will be offered.

Funny how the section of the ground making the most fuss about tickets is the same one that was more than half-empty for all the friendlies & not much better for the PNE cup game.
Bring on a Premiership club & they're all fighting to get in!

Ok yer senile:D It dont say that on fishy read again!! it says Tickets for season ticket holders, loyalty card members,and "All Non season Ticket Holders" will go on sale on Monday 14th August @ 10-00!! if that aint confusing i dont know what is.

Exile on Spencer St 13-08-2017 11:27

Re: Tickets for West Brom Match
 
As I read the Fishy page, the reference to "all non season ticket holders" being able to buy tickets on Monday applies to the Clayton End only, where there is no issue over whose seat you might be in.
The sale arrangements for the other 'stands' (why do we call the areas with seats 'stands'?) appear to be as per Lord Stiffer's post.

Personally, I think anyone who can get a ticket at that price to watch a Premier team play Stanley is b****y lucky. But, heh, without moaning, this web site would be as empty as Stanley's stand at a mid week game (just joking).

DaveinGermany 13-08-2017 12:35

Re: Tickets for West Brom Match
 
Only being a casual visitor to the Stanley, I must admit to some confusion as an outsider looking in on the convolutions that arise around a cup game. If a season ticket holder pays for their seat they have basically paid for & reserved their position for the season so how can Joe blogs (STH) for seat nr 91 be offered the chance to purchase for a one off event seats 90 & or 92 so he & his mates can sit together? Especially if seats 90 or 92, also belong to a STH who may also wish to bring a friend?

As to hospitality, Stanley aren't exactly going to be swamped with would be admirers regardless who they're playing so why oh why should loyal regulars (STHs) who've paid up front be forced to vacate their position for some "Johnny come lately" who may or may not turn up purely on a one off freebie?

As mentioned, Stanley aren't likely to max out on attendances regardless of the fixture, so wouldn't it be better for a set block of seating of maybe 50-60 seats grouped together probably somewhere within the main stand be designated as "Commercial gizzits for the one offers" be maintained as non-reserved (STH) seats, which can be used as on the day sales for the average games but restricted to "So called vips" on those special occasions when the glory hunters come calling?

Exile on Spencer St 13-08-2017 12:58

Re: Tickets for West Brom Match
 
Some good ideas, DiG, but cup games have been, and will be an issue at most clubs for STHS.
As far as I know, it's been a long standing convention that a season ticket gives access to league games only. The only club I'm aware of where the ST also applies to cup games is Arsenal, where, for that privilege, ST prices are just a tad higher than Stanley.
Know what you mean by Johnny-cum-Latelys but, if you look at the Fishy site, those 'interlopers' bring in £50 to £60 for the club.
I suspect the club are trying to accommodate their STHs with the offer to buy as many tickets as needed but, for the reason you raise as regards adjacent seats, this is only bringing its own complications.
As in football, sometimes you just can't win.

Which is nice, so therefore surely a greater imperative to have a designated block of seats for these benefactors to occupy then, hell, why not make it a block of 100-150 shouldn't be to difficult surely?

As I said, the club wouldn't lose anything as pay on the day bods could still use them for the normal games without imposing on the STH folk & when there's a biggie in the offing, well, a dedicated area is already present & available.

No, not exactly - they're saying anyone can buy a ticket from tomorrow if it's for the Clayton End so there is no priority on standing tickets for season ticket & loyalty card holders who prefer to stand but there is priority for the seated areas, as far as I can remember for these sort of games ALL season ticket holders have been given a couple of days priority to buy their tickets

Re: Tickets for West Brom Match
 
We appear to have 'moved the goalposts' on this thread.
From defending the apparent injustice of s/t holders possibly losing their normal seat in the main stand, it's now taking umbrage on behalf of the Clayton End s/t holders not getting priority.
As one of the latter, I have no problem with standing tickets going on open sale tomorrow. As others have already said, this match will not sell-out!
Nothing would please me more than seeing the Clayton End packed to the rafters - let em all come!
The plastic seat s/t holders in the main stand are being given priority.
We should be more concerned about the embarrassment of our opponents outnumbering us on our own turf.
This is all a storm in a teacup!

AccyMad 14-08-2017 07:08

Re: Tickets for West Brom Match
 
Actually I think the original posts on this thread were about the wording of the info on our fishy site, which then went into a discussion about season ticket holders ( wherever in the ground their ticket is for, being given priority) - your apparent disdain for people who choose to sit in the main stand rears it's head yet again, can't make my mind up if you're just a wind up merchant in the same vein as Mr. 007 or not but I'm done, not going to let myself be drawn in again - you could start an argument in a paper bag

I was there this morning, Season ticket but unable to have my usual seat. The reasons became lost, was pleased to meet Cashy again so it was worth the price for that. I was annoyed, Not with the staff but the organisation. There was no advantage to me buying today in fact it may well have been an open sale. I am still going to support the team.

Not trying to wind you, or anyone else up!
As for starting an argument in a paper bag, I'm just stating my opinion based on the facts as I see them.
I thought you were the great defender of 'opinion' on this forum - apparently only if it agrees with your own.
There has been a lot of hot-air on this thread about the sale of tickets for the West Brom game, from being denied a seat to not being given priority - all untrue.
As for the Clayton End, where is the logic in giving priority to a s/t holder for an unreserved standing area?
Will buying your ticket for the Clayton End three days before anyone else guarantee you a spot on the terrace - hardly! So why make a big fuss about it?
Some people seem to take every opportunity to criticise the club for petty offences, when they are just trying their best to satisfy everybody.
Yes, they make mistakes & sometimes come accross as a bit amateurish, but that's largely because they are.
We're talking Accrington Stanley here, a club run on a shoestring budget - not Man City!
If defending the club makes me a 'wind up merchant'. I plead guilty!

I think the issue with unreserved standing tickets for STH is that there is the potential to sell out, thus leaving said STH out in the cold. We're not going to sell out but one of these days we might just surprise ourselves and leave them out in the cold.

I usually try to defend the club where possible but I'm finding it harder and harder to do so when lessons arent being learnt

Cashy, I don't think Stanley are unique with regard to this problem.
Most other clubs adopt exactly the same policy.
No one wants to upset loyal fans, especially those forking out for a season ticket.
The trouble is that some s/t holders feel entitled to their own chosen seat, when they all know that this doesn't apply to cup games.
This situation arises for only maybe 2 or 3 games in a season, with luck!
To compensate for having to move seats, the club have offered s/t holders the chance to buy multiple tickets, so they can still sit with their mates if they wish.
In return, the club get a chance to attract some much needed income & who knows, new fans!
Surely a little flexibility regarding seat allocation is a small price to pay so we can all help safeguard the future viability of our club.

Flexibility should be a seating block dedicated pre season for cup games, for those people who wish to bring others to the game, others who aint bringing people should retain their seat, sure not hard to weigh up?

Agree the idea of a dedicated seating block for these occasions sounds like common sense - IN THEORY!
However, in practise it would mean moving existing s/t holders 'en masse' to accommodate a new 50-60 seat area in front of hospitality.
If they begrudge moving their seat for one game, how will they feel when the club tries to appropriate it on a permanent basis?

Re: Tickets for West Brom Match
 
got mine after dinner yesterday. asked if i could have my normal league game seat but was told no as they were selling them from the centre outwards to accomodate people who were bringing friends to the game. i have bought cup tickets from a couple of other clubs over the years and they always had a plan of the stands infront of them. you could pick a seat apart from the ones that season ticket holders have which were highlighted. then after purchase the seat was crossed off the plan. sounds a little time consuming but it wasn,t. if hartlepool and stockport can manage it so could stanley.

It does sound simple but what if half the STHs didn't then buy a ticket for their allotted (league) seats? The club could then be blocking off seats that were actually available and probably in better locations than the one(s ) being offered to you.
Just a pity the Whinney Hill stand hasn't been built. Like many, I stand at the Crown as the view/facilities from the existing seats are so poor. But I'd prefer a new stand that gave uninterrupted sight of the pitch and access to more than one toilet.

Thats easy to sort out!! if a STH dont buy one in the allotted time by phone if living or working away,then the club would be entitled to flog the seat imho.

Problem with that is if the STH doesn't buy the seat and then the club can't sell it later because the potential purchaser lost interest.

It's such a rare thing, I don't see why people are getting upset. After all, if I can't stand next to you next Tuesday, it won't completely ruin the game for me.:D

How would a potential purchaser lose interest? STH get a couple of days only? Non STHs dont apply fer tickets at any club until that deadline passes, as far as i know.;)

think pools had a funny system where tickets were on sale for everyone but season ticket holders had the chance to purchase theirs for a couple of days then they went on general sale.

I knew a STH who went to buy a cup ticket, didn't take his ST, they wouldn't sell him one without it, so he refused to go to the match. True story.

Someone who trails down to the shop and is refused might do similar.

About time tickets could be bought properly online. Save a heap of bother all round.

No problem with moving ST holders to cash in on a big night. ST holders know its league only and still make a tremendous saving and get cup priority so they're not being conned. The issue is communication. Should be noted in the ST form and booklet that you may be moved in exceptional circumstances.

I think the saddest issue out of all of this commotion is the resignation among us all that it will be nowhere near a sell out.

I'm a long standing season ticket holder but still bought my Preston ticket on the match as I knew full well it wouldn't sell out, whereas not so long ago they'd have queued down Livingstone Road for such a game.

Whilst I wont risk that this game I still know at the back of my mind Ill probably be able to walk on if I want.

I suppose its the ultimate testament to the Coleman an Bell years that the town has become blase about these sort of games. :(

Even sadder is when have we had a complete sellout ever including away fans in the entire history of Accrington.

Not a sell out as such as it was free admission - not surprisingly what seemed like the entire population turned up for that Torquay game - chaos ensued when some season ticket holders were left out in the cold unable to get in, may have even been worth it if even half of those who took advantage of the freebie had come back again :confused:

Re: Tickets for West Brom Match
 
All this does not explain why as a S/T holder I couldn't have my regular seat. I was there early and complied with the demands yet for a myriad of reasons I could not have my normal seat. Others in the office buying their tickets could not grasp the reasons either. I Choose to sit where I do as i have problems standing and seeing. so I have picked the best spot for me. I just can't believe it has caused such a problem. This part of the club is a let down to the regular fans as well as visitors who are customers as well. It needs to be sorted out. The OASSC could take this issue on board and work with the club to improve the customer service on offer to all the customers as we are. Fans is just another word for customers. Again I must stress that the staff were as good as could be. The problem is from the top down. As Cashy pointed out the club is being run by non football people who have put good investment into the club in infrastructure yet we fail on many basics of customer care. I will e there for the West Brom Match despite the justifiable moan.

Three cheers for Lord Stiff who seems to be the main voice of reason on this. For gawds sake what does it matter where you sit for one game? It won't bloody sell out, the club is doing its best (can't be arsed to trot out the huge list of improvements there has been) but isn't perfect in everything it does.

Just chill out and get behind the team AND ENJOY IT.

Re: Tickets for West Brom Match
 
The point is the club says ST holders get first dibs on their own seat in their charter but keep breaking their own rules.

It is a bit myopic, you don't grow a business by ****ing off regular customers.

I don't sit normally but I can see why other fans may be annoyed.

Well as an outsider i just cant understand what the hell theyre thinking of here why not just say season ticket holders have till 5pm on Friday to reserve or buy their own seat then at 5.05 on Friday the club just put reserved for sponsors stickers on the best 50 [ or however many they need ] seats still available job done

Been meaning to ask for a while now i was told that there are only 6 non matchday admin staff at the club is that correct ? [ There are nearly 50 at Carlisle ]

Obviously Burgess and Bowerbank are 2 who are the others ? Who is Mr T who posts on here and who clearly works for the club and posts in a quasi official way ?

Whoever they are they seem to administer the club in some very strange ways

Several years ago i had dealings there with Rob Heys over some sponsorships and could never understand why AH let him leave the club after paying him what he was owed or was it because he asked for what he was owed to be paid back that sealed his departure ?

So it was correct then in which case i hold my hands up to all of you but why so reticent to say who you you actually are then Mr T

And yes at CUFC thats the figure that was deceminated from a figure given of almost 300 employees in the last set of accounts it was widely discussed at the time and was never contradicted by the club and was validated as not being too wide of the mark by a local journalist.

Which begs the question whats the figure at a club like say Portsmouth ? and which makes the figure of 6 of you at Stanley all the more remarkable.

I'm sorted Cashy thankfully as I'm traveling a fair distance and will be close to ko when I get there.
One of the lads has got one for me.
In truth that's deprived the club of twenty quid by turning me away so I'll spend it another way 50/50 etc.
It cant be hard to set up a booth away from the shop to sell tickets on match days for these one off cup ties can it from say 1.30pm to 6pm or am I being a moron ?

As far as i'm concerned summat like that is plain common sense. There are quite a few people come from a fair distance away some with season tickets, but have difficulty getting cup tickets, in fact i got my own plus 3 more for people that stand with me, but end of the day i shouldn't have too,2 of those were season ticket holders.
