Leyther_Matt Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 11 hours ago, Traf said: It's a nice money earner for the club, isn't it? Approx £4k and upwards just for selling the tickets for two away games. Just doesn't sit right with me. Not forgetting the club getting 5% commission, too. There are system costs to cover, of course there are, but you don’t have to pay a handling charge at the kiosk to cover the till system, online charge when booking a room in the hotel etc so I agree to question why should that apply to buying the ticket office?

BOWTUN BAKED Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 It wouldn't be too bad if it was a £1 per transaction but per ticket is taking the piss when they already get commission for selling them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Yes I’d imagine not many people buy 1 ticket, I usually buy 4-8 on away games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Ticket offices have always sold tickets. Online purchasing must make their jobs/lives easier, so why are we paying for that to happen? It's another stealth tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolton va va Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 In & still more irritated by the 1-80 surcharge than I should be !! Not sure about the trains, it looks like Avanti & Crosscountry might be on strike but the Northern chuggers should be running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another stealth tax. 100% I'm guessing they are pushing the costs to them from ticket master on to us, but that's what winds me up! We get commission from away tickets to cover that cost & I'm doing all the work! Why am I still paying extra? If the ST want to be useful, ask those questions. I'd hate to look back & see how much I paid in 'fees' last season! It's not right without justification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORRECT, IT ADDS UP OVER THE SEASON! Not sure about the trains, it looks like Avanti & Crosscountry might be on strike but the Northern chuggers should be running. ALSO CORRECT, THOSE NORTHERN SERVICES ARE GOING TO BE LIKE CATTLE TRUCKS. IM HOPING THEY PUT A SPECIAL ON, OR AT LEAST EXTRA CARRIAGES, AFTER THE GAME AS I CAN SEE LOTS OF US NOT GETTING ON THAT FIRST SERVICE OUT OF STOKE. THE POLICE SHOULD BE APPROACHING NORTHERN TO DO SO, BUT THEY WON'T & IT'LL BE CARNAGE, ESPECIALLY LATER AS STOKE RETURN FROM HUDDERSFIELD.

barrycowdrill Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 No issue with it really. Another revenue stream for a club not yet out of the woods financially say what £3-5k a month? Couple of the players weekly wages that. more handy to the club than the quid is to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Cherry Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Reading their forum that stuffing at Exeter really knocked them. Let their full back go to Bristol Rovers by offering him peanuts. Had a 17 year old midfielder up front on his own v Exeter. Jamie Proctor was 'appalling (could have told them that!) Worrall injured again and not looking forward to Saturday. Oh and Dave Flitcroft copping a lot of flak for how unprepared they are! Old Bolton would go and lose there, new Bolton to get revenge for that six goal debacle at our place? COYW!!

Squad's too deep/good for that. A poor game will see you dropped for the next one, because nobody is irreplaceable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
