Crewe tickets fiasco

[finbar]

To have no back up for a ticketing system when most of your revenue comes from selling tickets seems a little short sighted and potentially business ruining.

And no company should be in a position where they can't sell things for 3 days. How much would 8 + 8 hardware maintenence cost. Imagine if this happened 3 weeks from the start of the season, it doesnt bear thinking about

westdeneite-

you wont win on this, too many people on NSC will NEVER criticize the club!!!.

To them the sun shines out of Dick Knights arse and will re-mortgage their houses just to keep brighton in the championship!!


may I just point out to people its ALL tickets they cannot process, not just Crewe, I cannot belive its taken them 3 days to fix!!!!

"Three days to fix". What are you complaining about?

The Albion is a tin pot little company. Compare them to one of the size of the National Savings Office. Every month they update the recent winners. This month their computer crashed right in the middle of it. It took a WHOLE WEEK to put right and, then when I did get in to it, I had won bugger all.

Excuse me while I just reinsert my head up Dick Knight's arsch.

Or a pint!

I'd love to know where you can get a pint for £2.

 

[fatbadger]

I'd love to know where you can get a pint for £2.

Pretty much everywhere outside the south of England.

 

[fatboy]

Unfortunately one of them won't go all the way to Crewe without a guaranteed ticket.
Also agree £2 is nothing to worry about but as the fans aren't to blame why couldn't it have been waived.

It is not all ticket; I do not see what the problem is. When was the last time fans were not allowed into a non all ticket game due to too many people turning up?

The £2 extra fee is the decision of Crewe, not the Albion. Moan at them.

Crewe.

Drink enough and people will have recouped the £2 they're whinging about.

 

[fatboy]

Pretty much everywhere outside the south of England.

Unfortunately I don't venture outside the South of England unless I am guaranteed to get a pint for less than £2.

Give him yours and get another one up there.

Please do not think of me as doof M'lord but I 'm not sure what you are trying to get accross.

Surely if you drink a lot you spend money, not recoup it.

You would not be spending as much money as if you drunk the same amount of beer at Brighton prices.

Mine does. Not needed more OS maintainance than a reboot since March of 2000. I've given it maintainance its not needed, e.g. optional updates, but its never gone down unintentionally. I've replaced ALL the hardware except the network card since then, moving the OS from HDD to HDD with its diskimager

Then again, I don't use Windows.

And your a complete computer nerd.
Just read the opera thread.
Where as i am just a normal person
You can tell your a nerd,by adding the bit about windows.
Go on then i will entertain you.
Why do you not use windows.

Have to say a computer support engineer I find it hard to understand how a computer system can be down for three or four days. We have contracts with our customers to guarantee we can get their systems up within a certain time frame designed especially for people with business dependant systems. I would hope the club has some sort of support contract for this and if not they should think about a backup system at the very least.

In the time the clubs ticket system has been down, I have got at least ten othe rbusinessses back up and running from crashes and loss of data etc but then like myob this isn't on windows.

For reliability and a better chance of 100% uptime never use windows. You have to periodically reboot windows machines or they just get slower and slower. They crash a lot more often.

Windows is fine for home users and end users but nobody in their right mind should run a business on a windows machine not if you need the system to be up at any given time.

I think you'll find you can get a pint of proper beer in The Station at Preston Park for under £2. They always charge me £1.90ish for a pint of Courage Best.

Knowing what has happened in the ticket office department lately, I do hope you didn't have a go at whoever was on the other end of the phone.

At the end of the day the computer was not sabotaged was it?

It didn't decide to break down just to spite you!

 

[Publius Ovidius]

of course if the Albion lashed out on an IBM AS400 they would have 100% availibilty 100% of the time

this is what i can't believe i know everyone has techi problems but its been down since tues morning !

 

[tinx]

The only reason for a three day downtime would be if they had no backup and had to enter in the details manually. Otherwise I cannot understand why its down for so long unless they are taking the opportunity to upgrade the systems at the same time.

My local sells Harvey's for £2 a pint. Down here in Exeter £2 is an expensive pint, the more usual price is £1.40 or something stupid like that

Hey! I don't use Windows and I'm not a nerd. I use the only OS MYOB seems to hate more, Mac OS X.
