Ticket office farce

[swindonseagull]

How on earth can the ticket office be closed the day before a home game?

Is buying tickets on line reliable? and can I chose where I want to sit?

I assume I collect the tickets at the ground? or do I print them...

Easter is supposed to be religious holiday.. not business...

Rant over...calmed down.....Must go to church and repent...NOT

Are you working?

I know Ali Jenkins tried to buy tickets last Saturday morning and it took him the best part of half an hour to get through.

I know this because he made me hold his phone for him while he was getting changed for the fans game against Donny.

I can see why some people might just give up...

 

[swindonseagull]

I just called them and the answer phone said closed for Good Friday...not so F@@king good if you need to get a ticket. (or 3)

All they have to do is employ 1 person for the day, sell 6 tickets and hey presto instant profit, after all they don't earn pop star wages in Shops.

Are you working?

yes I'm a priest....actually Im not a priest but I was working until 8am this morning so technically I worked good friday.

Ticket Office will be open tomorrow i.e. day of the match. You can call them up and specify which seats you want, or you can order online, tho not so sure you can specify where you want to sit then. Either way you can pick 'em up at the ground.

Is it not Easter in Swindon then?

I am going to ring them Saturday as I need to check about renewals as Mini is but not Junior so need to swap seats.

Its not always that easy to get through on a Saturday...

...possibly because people are phoning up about renewals etc.

 

[dougdeep]

Don't tell anyone else, but they normally start answering the phones a bit earlier than advertised on Saturdays. Keep it Schtumm.

I've got the hump cos I was told by someone at the club offices that the Club Shop was open today, and I needed to go there.

So I did.

Harumph!

Unable to renew me season ticket online this morning. Will not moan tho cos it's Good Friday

 

[swindonseagull]

No you cant chose where to sit...Just purchased on Line. seemed pretty painless.

Not exactly where I wanted to sit ..but I got the tickets..

I managed to renew ONE season ticket on-line this morning. Five minutes later, when trying to renew a second season ticket, I got the message that service was temporarily unavailable.

It's incredibly FRUSTRATING.

There we are then, no need to moan, was there?

 

[swindonseagull]

Moaning is good for the soul....

I popped up there yesterday and they did seem quite busy.

I’m glad that I went up there rather then phone up as it was probably quicker in the long run.

Away the last of the season ticket renewals have been sent out but they said to me if I don’t receive it after the bank holiday weekend then come up again, as I wanted to get it sorted yesterday but not having the renewal letter I couldn’t do it yesterday.

Leeds tickets have been processed and should be with people during the next week. 700 have been sold so far.

Thats because I was on line purchasing tickets...the office really should upgrade from the Commodore Amiga

The system never seems to put you in H/J blocks though?

 

[swindonseagull]

So just stroll up there anyways. I mean, there's ACRES of spare seats
