The number of season ticket holders who got turned away then went round to the turnstiles today!! Which halfwit thought of holding the tickets until kick off? Now we have season ticket holders seats empty whilst they occupy another seat and nobody can purchase the empty seat now! Remaining season ticket holders seats should go on general sale well before the match, straight onto the turnstiles. We are either gonna end up with a half empty ground or a massive queue before kick off. Either way, BFC will be the laughing stock! Lets hope the team perform better than the corporate idiots.
"Remaining season ticket holders seats should go on general sale well before the match, straight onto the turnstiles." But they can't do that now because some season ticket holders will be picking up just before kick off. Reckon kick off will be delayed though. It is such an absolute farce that Brian Rix would be impressed!
Yeah, too late now to rectify the mess. But I think the club need to take this on board for the championship playoffs next season!!!! lol.. Felt a bit sorry for the security guys taking the flak.. Not a club official in site.
Yer right ,keeping season ticket holders seats untill kick off is stupid think of all the empty seats they could end up with,
RE: Yer right ,keeping season ticket holders seats untill kick off is stupid a) How many season ticket holders stayed in the queue? b) How many ticked the box on the ST Application? I do not believe that very many season ticket seats will be empty in relation to those issued. As for half empty stadium LOL.
I take your point but... ..there would still have been grumbles if there had been a cut off point from long distance reds who couldn't pick up their tickets UNTIL match night. No telephone/internet booking remember.
You're right on the **** up but ...... .... even if every season ticket holder went through the turnstiles in the Eaststand (which we know they haven't as away tickets are going like mad), then there would only be 6,000 empty seats. Capacity is greater than 12k so pedantically we can say that the ground could still sell out to greater than 50% of capacity. Let's assume that 1/3 of season ticket holders have not taken their own seat and we'll have 2,000 empty seats if every other ticket sells. Do you reckon that we could really sell all of them anyway ? That would mean an attendance >21k on the night. Still an absolutely illogical way of selling the tickets, but since when have BFC had logic ?
