whelk Posted 14 August, 2019 Share Posted 14 August, 2019 What do you want? A big empty box and a pokey little badge or for it to turn up on time? Pretty basic operation dispatching tickets. Got mine last week though and everyone in our group got theirs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toussaint Posted 14 August, 2019 Share Posted 14 August, 2019 Mine haven’t arrived, had ordered two season tickets in the family section, unbeknown to me the first two games in our seats had “previously” been sold, I’m not convinced, i think they were probably subsequently sold, so, no tickets for Saturday, but I do have two for Man U. I’m assured the Liverpool tickets are on the way, bu no season tickets until after the first two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 14 August, 2019 Share Posted 14 August, 2019 Think they've got an issue with match tickets as well, no membership cards or print at home available so a lot more printed tickets than normal , i called up to say 2 weeks after puchase no ticket had arrived so they are sorting out a duplicate, sounds like they have quite a few like that.

Special K Posted 15 August, 2019 Share Posted 15 August, 2019 Let us hope that the cards actually work in the entry machines too. Wouldn't surprise me if it's a complete ****ing disaster on Saturday and not just on the pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted 15 August, 2019 Share Posted 15 August, 2019 All a bit embarrassing for the club at the moment. No season tickets, no membership cards, no kit, no assistant manager. I guess they hoped the football would distract us but then we get tonked by Burnley. Fans forum could be fun tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does sow the seed of thought of not rolling up to the turnstiles 10 minutes before kick off - as the end of the queue could be down in Ocean Village one way and half way over Northam Bridge the other.

IFHP Posted 15 August, 2019 Share Posted 15 August, 2019 How many fans have not yet got their season tickets? Its hardly 1000's and I would sugust its less then 100 so I woudnt call it a "debacle" or "embarrasing as some are. Don't get me wrong the club is far from perfect but when they have around 18,000 or more season ticket holders there are always going to be some, for what ever reson don't turn up. (l less than 1%?). The club always sort out any errors , it main be a pain to go to the ticket offiec on a matchday to sort it out but its hardly the end of the world. I wonder how many tickets dont turn up for concernts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets B Avenue Posted 16 August, 2019 Share Posted 16 August, 2019 Mine finally turned up in the post this morning. Which was strange as it was also waiting for me last Saturday when I got back from Burnley. I obviously didn't look that carefully then, as I was still fuming about the 2nd half capitulation and a 530 mile round trip. It turns out I've had someone else's instead from Block 42 Would have been interesting trying to get in the Kingsland with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point isn’t that they shouldn’t buy one. It’s more the fact that if they do, they should keep quiet and not celebrate - which is what causes the issue with the away fans in the boxes as they celebrate and rile up people in the Itchen North but the stewards seem to shrug it off and turn a blind eye as they and the club seem to adopt the same policy as you of ‘if they pay their the club the money they can do as they wish’.
