Season Tickets - Page 3

Just been discussing it with Lew and he says:-

If for any reason the tickets aren’t available for Saturday (which they should be), provisions have been put in place to make sure all ticket holders are dealt with properly and professionally. Every sale is logged even cheques. So no problems there. In the unlikely event of no tickets, information will be posted on the website at the earliest possible opportunity I assure you.

It's all very well you telling everone else what Lew said, and I thank you for taking the trouble to post.

The point though is that no one from the club has been on the club's own web site recently to reassure the punters that all is well, that we will have our tickets in time for kick-off and that the resources are in place so that, should the worst happen, there won't be chaos at the club shop / offices on Saturday.

It's probably taken me 5 - 10 mins to post this. Surely it can't take much longer to post on the Fishy site and I simply won't have it that everyone is so busy at the club they can't spare that amount of time. They'd collectively save a damn site more through not having to make excuses to telephone callers and visitors individually.

"A stitch in time " and all that.

First things first there are not many printers I know of that are open on a Saturday!
So logic would dictate that the club will know by tomorrow if the Season Tickets will be available or not!
If they are to be available, then I would personally make them available from Friday so as to avoid potentially long queues of people that are likely to become a little irate if waiting for a long period of time to recieve there season tickets coupled with the junior membership. I am sure the club must have some kind of database sysem to know who has ordered what and for where? I would have thought that if it was also done in a disciplined manner there would be more chance of people buying other merchandise from the club shop as well as perhaps having a look at the new facilities with maybe staff on hand to talk them through the ideas off the field as well as on the field! Just good Google Page Ranking!!
or maybe the Club could take it a stage further and once the roof is on have an official open day for everyone where players, management and staff could be on hand to show people the facilities, throw it open to everyone in Accrington and area, with things for the kids to do and take part in, get the people talking ,generate interest, the list could be endless and may encourage people who have never been before to go and have a look at what they are missing!

Fingers crossed that with the state of the post at the moment everyone gets their vouchers on time. Don't know about anyone else but I only seem to receive my post on Mondays & Fridays

maccawozzagod · 16-08-2007, 12:49

I might have a wander up to the ground just to watch em all hand writing out 400 and odd envelopes!

Thin Monkey · 16-08-2007, 17:11

God help any season ticket holder who's moved house recently.

maccawozzagod · 16-08-2007, 20:20

That is a good point. I'm glad the club has taken steps to resolve the problem but surely sending vouchers in the post may cause problems for season ticket holders? What if they are not delivered in time for the game or lost in the post? Wouldn't it have been better for the vouchers to be collected at the shop rather than sent in the post?

Wahey ..... our tickets for tomorrow arrived in the post this morning. Just a small gripe though - there's no seat numbers on them so will have to get there early to make sure we get the seats which are supposed to be reserved with our season tickets. Not a problem though, at least we know we can get in without having to queue for hours

rosewood red · 17-08-2007, 10:08

mine have not arrived today not happy bunny

stanleyfan · 17-08-2007, 10:22

i got mine too. On the ticket there are 2 rip off bits. One which says consession the other says adult so do you think that mean that i can use it for an adult and a consession or just one...

Tin Monkey · 17-08-2007, 10:29

The post has just been and guess what? No ticket for me. It looks as though those people who live in Accrington will get theirs, but those of us further afield will have to wait and hope.

Where I live I rarely get a Saturday delivery, so it really is a lottery as to whether I will get one or not. What provisions are in place for those who don't receive a voucher?

It's a dual purpose ticket, but it will only admit one person.
