Home Games Ticketing

Post by mulholland » Tue Jan 21, 2020 6:05 pm

If...we carry on the way we're going it could conceivably be all-ticket the last few games. I do hope 'The Club' are aware of this and have plans in hand to limit the online customers and ensure the shareholders/trust members are guaranteed a ticket to what could well be some of the most important games ever to be played at Holker Street. Just a thought/dream like.

The tickets are on sale for the last few games now. If people are concerned about missing out they can buy one. The club won't ringfence tickets for people who leave it until last minute to purchase them, nor should they.

Anyone can buy a home ticket right now. That’s what the club wants people to do. They want sell outs. Why would you want to limit online tickets? I got my Woking ticket two weeks ago.

Can’t see the logic in holding back tickets that might not sell rather than getting shot of them right now if the chance arises!
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

As stated above, we have tickets on sale for every remaining home game on our website for people to buy, so everyone has ample opportunity to get one. We’ve already sold a good number of Woking tickets too. :scarf:

We don’t really have restrictions on overall online sales, but we are mindful of a few things.

For example, we’ve planned the stand capacity for Woking with a best case scenario in mind. Hopefully without tempting fate, the seating capacity has been set minus space for players families, club guests etc.

You just never know why players might want to invite their families to the last game of the season! :D

Well done you and the team; it must be a steep learning curve for you all but you are managing it well and the comms are superb.
We will foller the soccer, over land and sea...

Exactly. Make them pay at the gate. Freeloaders.

Out of interest does anyone know how many tickets have been sold for the Woking game so far?

If I want to buy a railway ticket I have a lot of options- I can buy it online or I can go to the station and buy in advance or on the day. This is called choice. Not everybody wants to or can buy tickets online so why the club can’t sell tickets as well as online I don’t know. Notts County managed to send tickets to Barrow for their home game earlier this season so it can’t be that difficult. More profitable for the club as well

Tickets are available at reception through the week via cash or card payments, though supporters would simply get a printed e-ticket. Admittedly, not everyone is fully trained up on taking cash payments via the system yet but they will be by the end of the week.

Our ticket system also allows us to have a postage option when you buy online. I’ve had it turned off as we got going, but I’ve now set that up for the rest of the season as a further option:

Thanks for making this known and whilst the online option is good for many of us, there are those that prefer to buy in other ways. The comments from EL CHAS probably indicate that whilst promoting the online process, supporters should also be reminded at the same time that there are alternatives. This is not a criticism and we are in a bit of a whirlwind at present. Best whirlwind for donkeys, mind you!
