Good idea, also much greener than by post I suspect, but not as green as loading them on to the cards electronically?

 

[Ned]

so why do they still charge for adding matches to your season ticket smart card when that is all done electronically?

 

[Gritt23]

Be nice if someone would get back to me about charging me £5 over the face value for my QPR Ticket. If I did that I'd be nicked for touting.

After reading the announcement I assumed that adding matches to your season ticket smart card would not incur a fee anymore. The fee is only for those picking tickets up at the Amex or by post. Have I got it wrong?

Its so quick and easy to by match by match tickets now great work by the club.

 

[Country Seagull]

Sounds like a step in the right direction

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Booking fees are a rip off regardless !!!!!

Cup games are added to your smart card, not printed off via a pdf.

So if you have a cup tie added to your smart card, you still pay? I'll buy the seat next to mine instead, and print the paper ticket for free, then.

True, but I still don't think that there will be a booking fee for adding tickets to your smart card. The last line of the announcement says that the £1 fee is only for those getting tickets for collection or postage. Adding to a smart card is neither.

I'm fairly sure I paid a booking fee for the Newport game. Then again, I've slept since then.

It only applies to tickets purchased from today.

How do these print at home jobbies work? Just bought some tickets for the Blackburn game and not had the usual email conformation. Is a PDF attached to said email? Are they sent out at point of sale or nearer the time?

 

[Brovion]

Good. A step in the right direction. Even Barber apparently got sick of trying to justify the unjustifiable. Well done to all those who complained.

I've had a look back and Newport tickets weren't added to smart cards as only the lower tiers were open.

This makes alot of sense, good move by the club.

 

[ali jenkins]

I still can't believe that I got charged £1.50 for someone to open a drawer and place a ticket on the counter last week.

 

[Easy 10]

Nice that they've made it sound like a FAVOUR not to charge for emailing us a ticket.

Gee, thanks BHA.

I would have thought with "print at home tickets" you should bill them £1.50 booking fee
