Everyone, and that means everyone needs to get to this football match.

Let’s the carry the good feeling over from today and with some more players in this week the squad will be stronger. 

New regime and fresh starts all round 

2-0 bolton. Evans 2.

They were only taking cash payments towards the end of last season as the club hadn't paid the bills for the card machine functionality.

I bet that's what's happened now - people have turned up at the shop to buy tickets, with a credit/debit card, and they've realised they can't sell them.

 

 

I was under the impression that the costs were taken as a percentage by the merchant

I doubt it's that as I'm sure they'd simply announce it as cash only.

The main thing is that they're sticking to the 'the game is on' message. The rest will sort itself out tomorrow.

Can I get a ticket yet?

Fuck me this club gets more embarrassing by the minute, taken from 9 oclock this morning till half 2 for them to say we will issue a further update on the ticket sales tomorrow morning..

Possibly it’s due to the volume of chargeback requests pushing the merchant account (card payments) balance in to a negative before a payment has been taken

Means there must be more to this than simply pulling the ticket sales so they can have a think about revising prices after the STs outburst.

And it could be good or bad. Probably best to just wait and see.

I reckon its do with the website, not being able to hold the influx of people trying to access website all at the same time. The Coventry fans also have to access our website to get a ticket.

Marc Iles has tweeted the club update with "thoughts?"

Could that man sink any lower?

Plus the fact if it's cash only payments, then surely they cannot sell them online due to credit card payments being impossible to process.

It's not "our" website though is it, once you click on tickets it takes you off to the eticketing.co.uk/bwfc  Ticketmaster website.   The same one used by most other clubs, eg. coventry is at eticketing.co.uk/ccfc,  and the same Ticketmaster servers that can handle millions of people trying to buy 100000s of tickets when the major gigs go on sale.

That's not going to be affected by a few thousand people trying to buy a BWFC ticket at all.

Dont ever suggest on here the ST have any influence at all!

Cant see it myself mind. More likely be playing behind closed doors if this carries on

Maybe the takeover is done and they're about to announce 12 big name signings and put the prices up.

Not ITK.

Well it couldn't hand the amount of people who was on it this morning, people couldn't access the website, I couldn't even change my password. It's utter shite our ticketmaster website been bad for trying to get tickets for a lot of away games. Bet they have never had a football club trying to see tickets for both home & away in the amount of 3 days!

I can only imagine that whatever the delay is now has to be takeover related...anything else would have a solution (or not) by now surely?

Possibly, Probably, More Than Likely.   This thread is full of them words yet nothing has been finalised.  

Tick follows tock follows tick.....

Says "Game going ahead" so, you know, whatever.

In the quantities that will actually be attempting it? They handle ten times as many for any number of other clubs or music gigs etc. Whether the club are in a position to pay for extra server space - or even if it is necessary - is another matter altogether. There might be a bit of queuing time when they go on sale, but let's be honest it isn't going to be a problem.

how is that worse?

its a update. and a positive one.

????

I know who we’re playing and when. As long as the club let me know how much I’m paying for it those 3 things are all I care about 

how we got there, why we haven’t got there yet, why your paying that amount is irrelevant and cannot be influenced by anyone on here 

so, chill out, stop wasting your time on what ifs, I thinks & maybes and look forward to Saturday 

anything else is fugazi
