Buying tickets for cash

[tigertim68]

Can someone please explain to me why we have to buy the play off tickets online or by phone and not by cash at the amex or queens road ? What happens if you do not have a credit card or debit card ? This could mean some supporters unable to purchase a ticket . Poor decision by the club IMO

Most of us have jobs.
Most have online access.
We don't need or want queues down North Street and in Falmer.

There are still people without cards?

 

[ees complicated no?]

Seriously who doesnt have some sort of card?

Someone under 16?

I would have thought anyone without a card would have friends/family who are able to purchase on their behalf.

Presumably it is much easier for the club to handle a big surge the moment tickets go on sale if they are sold online first rather than having a queue going out of the shop and down the road

What about people who don't have cards or cash? Surely the club should allow some sort of Medieval bartering system for those without either.

Who doesn't have either a card or, if under 16, access to someone with a card in this day and age?

Pre paid credit cards are available from all post offices. /thread

 

[Hyperion]

Can you not buy a Prepayment credit card? Surely they accept them. In which case if they do, where is the problem

Well tiger I'm sure if you telephoned the club and explained to them that you can only pay by cash and what options would there be I strongly suspect that some sort of agreement could be made. Assuming of course you own a telephone. If you only have cash you can use a pay phone, there's probably one of those somewhere in tiger land, normaly outside a railway station.

Then after trying all avenues you can come on here and attack the club.

I thought by law you had to offer at least one method of payment that did not include a charge for using a debit/credit card.

Let the binfestry begin

The people on the club shop will all be on the phone trying to answer calls, they cannot deal with both surely, or expected to be, if you dont have access to the the internet or a telephone, im sure if you made a special visit someone might be able to help you.

but 'not having internet access' isnt an excuse, internet cafes will do the trick.

Only fair. I have surplus cheese in my fridge and hope to pay using this method.

They only accept Wensleydale and Stinking Bishop.

Or for free at most libraries.

But then the club would have to make a decision on just how much livestock a ticket is worth; the arguments would be horrendous, people would be stood outside furiously debating the quality of their cattleat and, as day turned to night, the temperature would steadily drop leaving everyone would end up friesian to death.

All in all, probably easier to only take cards...

Certainly. It's about 4.5 million times easier. Done.

I lost my wallet at the weekend and cancelled all my cards - the replacements won't arrive till the end of the week so I can't buy my season ticket reserved seat. So, the lack of a cash option is a real pain right now. I had to ring up a friend and get him to send his credit card details so I can buy my tickets - I do think the OP has a valid point: you can have a job and Internet access and still be without a card, as I know all too well.
