Morecambe & Burton too like marple said the club is so behind with this i get if we get promoted it wouldn’t be much of a problem due to higher allocations but whilst we’re knocking around in this league it needs sorting, imagine the covid season in L2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radcliffe white Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Also must add with season season tickets you can assigned to a child if buying an adult away ticket , hundreds of junior season tickets haven’t been swiped in once this season due tho them being so cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with an attendance system for ST holders and i would fail that as ours go unused loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me anyone who has invested time, effort and money into both this competition and watching Bwfc away this season, will not accept that a free for all is just fine. It’s wrong on lots of levels. Not informing about the queuing system, not applying some element of loyalty, throwing you off the system when you get to the front of the queue So which one is it, are you not arsed or were you lucky enough to get a ticket?

Can’t see it changing while we are using them. Arsenal, Forest and Celtic do. DMBs used it until last summer. Hibs and Hearts both use it and have (or have had) loyalty points systems. Barnsley use Ticketmaster and use loyalty points. Even Port Vale have a loyalty point system for away games and their ticket system is as basic an off the shelf product as it could be and costs a fraction of Ticketmaster.

Moderators Carlos Posted January 26, 2023 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2023 Here's the problem with an off the shelf product, within hours/days/weeks someone has an exploit that they can enter your system with. You need to employ someone to keep on top of it with patches etc. 24/7. Which no doubt Ticketmaster do. A football club probably can't, the DMBs sure, but the cost for IT staff would be up there with player wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all built in to the Ticketmaster system and indeed BWFC already use certain aspects of it with having to assign memberships and also recognising previous purchase history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogs Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I tried this morning but no joy. I'm not that bothered but understand people's gripe that go to alot of aways, I very rarely go to aways. The only irritation for me is, as a season ticket holder for years, I know I'm not alone, I can't get near them but I know a few lads that only go to home games 2 or 3 times a season but always get away tickets they want, including 2 that have got accy, just cos they have a contact at the club. Don't seem fair to me that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve invested time money and effort in to both this season FYI yes I was lucky enough to get a ticket but only because someone else bought a spare. I was in with the masses in being in a queue, getting in then finding they had all gone. if I’d of missed out I wouldn’t have jumped on board the hysteria bus demanding change. It would’ve been the first ticket I’d ever of missed out on in 30 years. Thems the breaks. seems like the only ones making noise about priority is people who have done some of these games (of which like I say I’m in anyway) but I bet you decent money half of these people aren’t ST holders and only went cos it was a fiver and took their kids. Do they deserve being higher up the list than ST holders who haven’t done any?? No they don’t it is what it is. Simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been no clamour for away tickets at any other away game this or any other season for this competition so let’s not all crack on as though it’s been an ongoing problem. 90% of the time everyone who who wants a ticket gets one regardless of the competition. introducing a loyalty scheme in principle is a good idea. But is it worthwhile when it would only be used 10% of the time? Further more there’s no way it would drive up attendances in this competition as us getting in to this position happens too rarely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
