Burton match is a tenner...

Personally think it's wrong to make it cheaper for those paying online.

It's hard to believe but there's plenty of folk who don't use computers or are too old to use them.

I've no problem with the prices been increased for people paying on the day but it should also be £10 for those buying from the shop in advance.

 

There's plenty of those on here though. All those questions asked on this forum about subjects that would take about three seconds to research themselves really amuse me. I'm convinced a large number of forum users ONLY use this forum. They either don't know where anything else is or can't be bothered to look it up for themselves. Example: "What times box office open" etc etc.

Searching for information is as simple as writing your question, or even just the name of something, in the url line at the top of the page, hitting enter and then selecting from the dozens of alternative means of answers to your question. You don't even have to "find" Google or Yahoo - it's all done for you.

Asking for personal opinions and recommendations is a different matter altogether, but asking someone to open the book for you and read out the answer is just plain ignorance (and lazy).

 

Absolutely ridiculous. Not you PoR, the club.

What about the people who don't have access to t'internet?!

 

Agreed. My printer's knackered so do I have to pay the full price as I can't print the ticket out?

 

Then they won't know about the offer so won't feel bad when they pay the extra fiver on the day. Just needs everybody to keep quiet about it

 

Interesting point, but at some point the people without t'internet are gonna ring t'club up to buy tickets & surely they will tell them they can get them cheaper online, won't they? So everyone will know sooner or later. Still a bit unfair on people who can't get them online, imho.

 

I thought you could get it put on your season card?

 

I have to say 10 quid for all advanced purchase tickets would have been a better option and we do seem to actively try to discourage the casual fan.

 

mmmmm, don't know. Obviously there is no information on this on the club website, so we've got to ring them up anyway....

 

They probably assume that everybody is either on the net or knows someone who is and can therefore get them a ticket.

It's going to take a massive shift of behaviour to get this working properly but it could happen one day. In the meantime the match will attract less than 6,000 I reckon. Not because of the price of tickets, but simply through lack of interest. UNLESS of course we really hammer the Blades on Saturday which will stimulate the interest of maybe......oooh, 500 more?

 

There's normally an option to pick it up at the box office for free on the day, that's what I usually do. Don't turn up at 3:01pm though whatever you do!

 

I'm not bothered about a fiver I'll just pay the fithteen quid and go to box office for it

 

That`ll do nicely.

First time we`ve ever played em in a competitive match innit?

 

I'm not worrying about it, just saying it;s a bit daft having two different prices for people with and without internet. If you don't, like my Mum and Dad (and there must be hundreds of others), they have to prat about getting hold of someone with internet to get the tickets sorted for them. Absolutely effing stupid idea. If the price is a tenner, it's an effing tenner, I wish the club would stop effing about.

 

Isnt it much cheaper for the club if you do it yourself at home? No wages needed, no heating bills no electric bills no office space needed etc. It makes sense to pass that saving on to those who are creating those savings.

 

I look at it this way when Microsoft, Sony, Apple, & Pay pal, struggle to keep your bank details safe, them dumplings down oakwell are getting nowhere near my bank details, and I'll happily pay a extra fiver to keep them from getting hold of them

 

That's right, blame the companies that get hacked and having to pay out millions to customers in compensation, not the hackers that took them. Also it's not through BFC directly, it's a 3rd party system iirc. If the company uses SSL, which you can see through the URL bar turning green or having a little padlock on it with the companies name, it's essentially as secure as any other site. Smaller sites are actually (for the most part, and considering they hash properly) more secure due to lack of people actually wanting to hack them.

For the record people, if you click the "Forgot Password" button on a site and they email you the password in plain text, change your password for that site to something you don't use anywhere else, that means that they are either storing your password in plain text (so anyone that looks at the database can see it...) or they are encrypting as opposed to hashing, which means that it's reversible, again a no-no.

(going on a tangent here) If anyone's interested, the proper way to store passwords is to hash them, which means its irreversible, and they when the customer inputs their password again, the website hashes again using the same algorithm, and checks if the hashes are the same. Just thought I'd share some knowledge on the matter
