eurosaint Posted 26 April, 2012 Share Posted 26 April, 2012 As an 'old fart' with limited online skills I anticipated all manner of problems with the application (I read this thread before I embarked on the actual mission!) but to my astonishment it worked 1st time with zero hiccups and I got the confirmation immediately (admittedly to my junk folder!).

kpturner Posted 26 April, 2012 Share Posted 26 April, 2012 Cheers, I'll try that. I've tried to book tickets online before and it asked for a number. The number on my ST never worked. Maybe it was a membership number they were after rather than a customer number. The whole thing didn't seem to work for anybody. Hopefully this one will be better. Do I need to do this in order to renew my ST or is this supplementary?I think it is just to make sure that your details are correct in the new system.

Then a system to buy online tickets and season tickets is irrelevant to them and they can continue to buy them over the phone or in person like they were doing already.

Frank's cousin Posted 26 April, 2012 Share Posted 26 April, 2012 I would not worry - if you are are teh data base and they have up to date address you will still get all teh marketing guff they are going to send out - only new thing tehy wanted to capture was DOB - guess they will be sending out specific age related mareting material - that will be all.

kpturner Posted 26 April, 2012 Share Posted 26 April, 2012 (edited) So is it only Hatch and I that noticed that this system truncates the telephone numbers (if over 10 digits)? For example. if you put in the telephone number as 02380123456 it only stores it as 0238012345 So you end up having to store it like this instead: 2380123456 or just 80123456 I would advise anyone who "thinks" it has worked to double check. After that (and you find it is OK) please feel free to berate me for wasting your time Edited 26 April, 2012 by kpturner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I can use the online system I'm not fussed of they don't have a valid telephone number for me or not. Indeed, it's preferable if they don't :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want them to have a correct number for you then you can just key in junk. I am just saying that IF you have given them a correct number (because presumably that is what you want them to have) then double check it, because it will probably be wrong.

Am I REGISTEREDGo back through it again. If your (new/changed) details are there then I think that is fine. Check that the phone numbers are correct (assuming you want them to be) and that the email address is correct - the latter may be the reason you have not received an confirmation.

Hockey_saint Posted 26 April, 2012 Share Posted 26 April, 2012 I must admit, even with a masters degree in IT I've been confuzzled for years as to this account number bizzo; in the end often just manually going down to St. Mary's myself to buy the ticket (although, championship or premiership, I think I'll attempt to renew my season ticket this year as the last two have been a blast). I've followed the 2380 directions, it works fine and after all the confuzzlement I can now say I'm sorted, thanks go out to the poster who suggested it might be on my old membership card.
