travel vouchers

[Gazwag]

Actually, thinking about it, I expect they didn't think about the friendlies when the vouchers went to the printers and realised they were two short, hence why (apparantly) you don't need one on Saturday (neither did you for the SSC on the P&R) - BUT telling everybody they are £1 each is wrong as they are £1.07142857142 each.

I must say I am concerned about getting through the barriers at Lewes station on saturday without a voucher.

Non-STH here. For the SSC the P&R was free with your match ticket, but you had to pay if you used the bus. Is the same going to be true for Saturday does anyone know?

I emailed the ticket office and got a reply back quite quickly, but all it said was "check the website for announcements"

Insider says

For Spurs the the buses, trains and P&R require you to show your Smartcard/match ticket.

Re buses, it is exactly the same system that worked at Withdean. So travel in the zone is free, regardless of the number of buses.

BUT apparantly the bus company are not aware of this so at the moment, still got a couple of days left though

Are these free for season ticket holders then?

I went to Falmer last week to sort out U16 ticketing issue for Spurs/Gillingham game and at the same time bought 3 lots of travel vouchers.

At no time did the chap who served me say "By the way Sir you'll be getting these for free next week so probably don't need to buy them" so imagine my surprise when two sets of vouchers arrived in the post this morning. I dare say my dad will have got his through the post too.

If anyone wants a set that hasn't got one let me know and we can try and sort something out (bearing in mind I only have two extra sets not two thousand...)

I used my ticket on the bus. No charge was made for SSCF travel.

Not sure I follow. They are NOT free to Season Ticket Holders. Although if you do think you have some to offload, I'll take them

Mine just arrived in the post. The matches are listed and there are 5 cup games.

No I don't follow either - I bought, in person, from the stadium, three travel voucher books, one for me, one for my dad and one for my son, all of us are season ticket holders.

I took the vouchers home with me and am looking at them now. In today's post there were two more books of vouchers, one for me, one for my son, no accompanying letter,just the "Arriving at the Amex" flyer.

Might have to refer it on to Insider...but in the meantime I definitely have two books of tickets that I don't need (the only issue is whether I end up paying twice) so let me know your details and we can meet up somewhere...

According to Insider on ATC they are being sent out today and tomorrow but are not needed for Spurs as you can use your smart card for the trains and buses.

That is also what I was told on the phone yesterday, when I tried to buy a couple of vouchers for the Spurs game.

Hmmm. That wasn't what they told me at the ticket office in the shop when I bought my SSCF tickets! I asked and the bloke said, "P&R free, bus or train you've got to pay for". Minor point obviously (and moot now since the event's passed) but I bet come Saturday evening there's going to be the odd 'My Travel Voucher nightmare' thread as there seems to be a lot of conflicting info flying about!

I actually spoke to a fan on the bus and he had bought a saver! It's a pretty shambolic situation really!

This weekend I am going by bus again, and I will have my smart card, travel vouchers, and cash readily available! The bus driver can choose whatever one he wants!!!

Very confused myself on the best way to get there - I didn't realise that you have to have the vouchers. The route S bus looks best for me but may be packed by the time I get on (do you need a voucher for this ?)Also no mention of under 10s do they need a voucher ?

Yes to both your questions.

 

[torchieboy]

bought 2 books but only received 1, so best the other one turns up by next week.

Everyone needs a voucher to travel, no matter what age - except for Spurs which is free. Apparently trains only gave the OK this morning. Given that it works out about £1 per return, I don't think there's too much room for complaint.

Hurrah, mine were waiting for me when I got home from work. Now all I need to do is top up some money on to my season ticket and its all systems go.

That was my understanding til yesterday when a man in our customer services dept told me that under 5s didn't need vouchers!

Yes, same for us. I expect the other one will turn up shortly if I whistle.

Exactement, might not be so much of a bargain if you live in Brighton (no idea what the train fare is from there) but a return train ticket from Burgess Hill to Falmer is about six quid, so I am most happy with £30 for a season's worth of vouchers.

Except for the over 60s who travel in by bus who can use their free bus passes.
