    Hows about printing tickets for every seat in the ground, having the full turnstile staff in and to get a ticket for the game you go to the turnstile where you usually enter the ground and collect your ticket from there.

    Get portable units in for credit cards and the turnstile operator only gives you the ticket that matches your season ticket when you produce that him.

    More time delays in terms of the operator locating the correct ticket but have them properly sorted into rows and numbers and you should be alreyt.

    or how about this?

    If like the club say, your season ticket seat will not go on general sale regardless of whether you intend to use it or not then why are we actually selling them in advance?</p>

    I have got special match voucher A in the back of my season ticket book, and so does everybody else. The club could easily have said that season ticket holders should just go through their normal turnstyle on the night of the game and pay cash only while handing in special match voucher A.</p>

    Jobs a good un, no queuing for season ticket holders. The only people queuing at oakwell now would be those wanting away tickets.</p>

    Credit cards are a red herring here anyway

    Insist on Cash only for everyone and as has been posted elsewhere you can go to an ATM before you get there.

    I am sure everyone would prefer that to queueing for 3 to 4 hours

    And...

    If any ST holder couldn't go they could pass the voucher on and let someone else go, meaning hopefully no empty seats :)

    if they arent happy with that then how about a slight alternative

    A company in tarn (cant remember its name but there'll be more than one) could have created a stamp for the club on monday if they had been asked to. This stamp could have been given to a bloke (or 2) on the turnstyles today and could have said something like &quot;play off semi final V huddersfield. Thuursday 11th May 7:45pm&quot;.</p>

    You turn up at the turnstyle today cash and special match voucher in hand and get the voucher stamped. Gobs a good un</p>

    RE: or how about this?

    Crackin idea, you should have been in Shepherd's "How best to sell Playoff Tickets" brainstorming meeting that he didn't have last week.
