Next Season Ticket Idea

1. Buy a computer system as used in a retail shop or library.
2. Issue plastic card season tickets with a barcode, unique number for each user, instead of season ticket books. Keep people's debit card and address details on system.
3. Fit turnstyles with barcode scanners linked to the box office computers.
4. Scan each card on entry, computer system will keep track of if your ticket is valid for that game and approve entry. System will count number of people in and refuse second entry for same barcode on the same game.
5. Season ticket holders can go on website or call booking line and deal with ticket office staff/automated system to purchase their own seats for cup games. System will prompt for season ticket number along with numbers from postcode and few digits from debit card or date of birth ala mobile phone top ups.
6. Single match day tickets can be sold along phone or internet in same manner by selecting number of seats required together and desired section from list. Speak to person on first call to register address, can use faster automated system subsequent times to have tickets sent to same address. Tickets printed with user barcode to allow entry control again.
7. System will keep track of how many games have been attended and identify if someone stops coming. Easy to implement reduced pricing for frequent customers and automatically apply group preferencing for one off sales e.g number of away games attended in league for away cup games.

With the profits we've made on the cup run this season we could very easily and fairly cheaply give ourselves the best ticketing infrastructure in the league. Gordon?

 

id rather spend the dosh on some new players ta

 

Great idea Ginner

but what would the majority on here have to moan about then

 

At most it would only need about £30,000 of it; peanuts now we're flush with money.

 

30 grand wouldnt even buy 10% of it , and to say were flush with money you obviously havent thought of how much debt we are still in and how much cash we spent in the summer/january on the playing staff.

 

It's no more complex than the system down the local independent petrol station, it would be a lot cheaper than you'd think. If it makes it any easier for us to max out the crowd on the big games then it would quickly pay for itself.

 

save the money and buy luke steel instead quality keeper how many goals as he let in is it two nt
