Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Since you've paid the full amount up front it sounds like you need to enquire about it. Could just be a mis-print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 that is very strange, would almost be understandable error if they had just given first few games, but the middle ones doesn't make any sense at all. you should complain they might give you a free replica shirt as an apology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 you should complain they might give you a free replica shirt as an apology Might be a ploy to get everybody to visit the stadium to sort it out and collect lots more car parking charges.

Mozz Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Uh-oh!

Evil Monkey Posted 20 July, 2011 Author Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Just back from SMS. The girl at the ticket office said that some have gone out wrong. Swapped it over, no problem.

um pahars Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 :lol: Saints' customer service at it's finest yet again!! I await their response!!!!!!! Just wonder how many have gone out incorrectly and how they are going to redress the situation. If they just re-send a new one out, then Cortese could well have more than 32 rogue tickets in circulation come October!!!!!!!!! So I presume the onus will be on us to travel up/down to SMS to sort out their clusterfccuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%Red&White Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Fook. Lucky I read this thread, mine turned up in the post yesterday and immediately got thrown in the drawer. Just had a look and guess what, 9-23 only. Bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Haven't had mine yet, although paid for on day 1 of renewal and promised it would be posted, perhaps mine doesn't contain games 1 - 23, not worried yet as no doubt many to be sent out, but perhaps the postman will be sitting next to my mates next year. although for those going on hols, any mistake could come as a shock when they get home with little time to get corrected before first game.

Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 One poster has already said the club will sort it out no bother. Sure its a pain in the arse, but I'm sure we're all be there for game 1. That said, the air will turn blue when I open mine up and discover they have given me a duff one.

eurosaint Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Will be interesting to see how they communicate this c*ck up, what's the betting that it is buried in the small print somewhere like they did with the change of concession ages ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%Red&White Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Just out of curiosity, are these all renewal STs that have been botched? Mine's a renewal. I've now heard of others this has happened to. You can only imagine they've got piles of full STs and other part ones for the installment plan and someone's picked up the wrong box, they'll be stood out side the Head's office as we speak. Mr Cortese will see you now. How many will have just "chucked it in the drawer" and only find out against Leeds? The club are going to have to contact everyone to check or it's going to be chaotic at the box office first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrivvy Saint Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Just got ours, again only 9-23. Has anyone made contact with the ticket office to find out how they are going to deal with this, surely the OS should have something up about this problem by now to avoid the ticket office being faced with a barrage of abuse.

Window Cleaner Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 surely the OS should have something up about this problem by now to avoid the ticket office being faced with a barrage of abuse. they'll blame some 3rd party as likely as not, or the fans themselves for harceling them into a rapid send out when all was not checked and double checked.Temporary staff and outside contractors eh!!!!!! Now if they'd sold STs at a reasonable period,ie in April or May they wouldn't be trying to rush them out 2 weeks from the first game; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La BoIS Saint Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 It's no good just the OS having something. They should be writing to people. As others have said people might have chucked them in a drawer and not even be checking the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exit2 Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 It looks like people who paid by installments have got full tickets, and those who paid up front have been given the 2nd part of the installment plan I say bring back David Luker lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like those who paid installments have got tickets 1-8 up front. Those who paid in full have received the rest of the tickets from those same ticket books. Still a massive ****-up though.

trousers Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 It looks like people who paid by installments have got full tickets So, nothing stopping the 'rogue element' that cancelled latter installments in previous years doing the same thing now if they have received a full book in error?

trousers Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Out of curiosity, why the 'uneven' split? (i.e. 8 games in part 1 and 15 in the 2nd part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Out of curiosity, why the 'uneven' split? (i.e. 8 games in part 1 and 15 in the 2nd part) Per my post above; it's the way the club are sending out season tickets paid in installments. Matches 1-8 are sent out (on the payment plan) with a 50% up front payment. Matches 9-23 only get sent out following 3 further payments in September, October and November. So there is no chance to abuse the system and be in posession of tickets you haven't yet paid for. So the 1-8 tickets got ripped out of some ticket books and sent out, then someone mistakenly used those tickets books to send to people paying up front.

The9 Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Sounds like there's no correlation to me. Pretty sure my "paid in full" ST has 1-23, some clearly don't have and they've sent the wrong ones out, but have we actually had an instalment payer get 1-23 yet ?

Or are they "pre-printed" 1-8 books and pre-printed 9-23 ones ? Would probably cost more to do that so I'm guessing ripped out, but no-one's actually said that.

Would probably cost more to do that so I'm guessing ripped out, but no-one's actually said that. I'm not in posession of one, so I don't know. But it would make sense that the ticket wallet gets sent out with tickets 1-8 and all the promotional gubbins. Then just the 9-23 tickets are sent out in November. But that's just my guess, maybe someone who's paying by installments will be along to clarify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of an own goal it would seem. Don't forget that the ticket books are in no way linked to the "front page" ticket anyway, so they could be switched around at will if people had spare ticket books. It's an incredibly inefficient system for preventing fraud - as I proved last season when I used my free U-8 ticket for 21 of the 23 matches whilst carrying my actual ST in my back pocket just as a little experiment. And of course no one could ever prove otherwise, as all you have to do is swap the front tickets around and the U-8 book is now the full adult one. There's also nothing on the ST match voucher itself which identifies it back to the owner once it's been used, no barcode, no name or seat number on it, etc. In fact I'm not sure the club even counts them, I'd heard they're using the "STs sold in August" number plus the number of non-ST match ticket stubs, and that's common practice - though I don't actually know this is the case.
