Whitesince63 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Is there supposed to be a point to the membership scheme because so far I’m genuinely not sure what the point of it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMB Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Not a Bolton fan but was looking to go to todays game last minute. 40 minute drive, so signed up at 2. Still no access to tickets as membership doesn’t seem to have been updated to be active despite being logged in. £10 lost for BWFC and I’ll have to find something else to do.

deane koontz Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 They've done a good job at deterring spur of the moment game goers with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on available evidence it's sole purpose appears to be to piss a good section of the fan base off with unnecessary faff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Technology is a faff full stop. Remember when you could just go to the ticket office and buy a ticket? Or even better, turn up on the day and pay at the gate. Those were the days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Are away tickets on this membership as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 It applies to all tickets from now onwards unless you’re currently a ST holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Just signed up. Took less than 5 mins but then it was just me and not trying to sign any kids up as well Doesnt bother me one bit but understand why it pisses some people off for various reasons I’ve not been much over the last few years and when I have it’s often been relatively last minute. Can’t see this affecting that as I assume that I decide to go, buy the ticket, get it on my phone and rock up at the Unibol? Unless I’m missing something? The duplication, as mentioned above, just seems a bit unnecessary. They’ve got all my info in my client ref from when I had an ST and which I’ve used to buy match tickets since I gave that up.

Members Rudy Posted November 7, 2021 Members Share Posted November 7, 2021 My owd fella messaged me at 12:30 seeing if I could get him a ticket for stockport Logged in. As I’d already ordered tickets this confused the system So told my dad he’d have to sign up and do it himself which he was happy to do for him So he signs up, goes to buy tickets gets told he can’t buy them, wasn’t available to him. Rings up the ticket office told quite abruptly there is nothing they can do even though he had Just got a membership. Wanderers just lost out on £20, which in the grand scheme of things isn’t a big deal but in the long term it’s extremely poor At first I didn’t see an issue but @Spider says I’m allowed to change my mind so I am. BWFC fuckin sort it out. Utterly ridiculous Someone flag this up to the club on social media or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology is supposed to make things easy. If you've signed up, why the fuck can't it immediately let you buy one? Or are GMP going through the list beforehand?

Ffs, could fill a fucking form in at the office, get your ticket and they could enter the details for you later. Utter cack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpler times. Funny enough i also lived in Smithills back then, we used to leave the Ainsworth arms at 2.45, drive to the ground, park at BOC car showroom for free and still be in the ground before the players ran out - then after the game we’d be back in the boozer by 5.05 - Those were the days, life was less of a faff.

Marc505 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 This is all going to keep boiling up then come to a head when the "big" away fixtures roll around after New Year and there's a rush for tickets. The Cup replay might be a good indicator of how all that will go. I can understand the anger and confusion from the bloke l/h saw, not everyone will be well up or constantly on social media so it doesn't surprise me that some have no idea what's gone on.
