Oakwell ticket office has just *REFUSED* my money!!!

Point missed. He offered to change the 2p's for a fiver so the rest of the the denominations of coins were within the legal amount shops can accept, yet they still said no.

 

I agree, we aren't awash with customers and the club should be bending over backwards to help out customers. So I propose they start accepting bottle tops from Wychwood beers, after all Wychwood take them in exchange for a t-shirt.
Perhaps they should also allow us to exchange 2 previous replica shirts for a new one.
We could have a barter system, I could bake a nice cake in exchange for a match ticket.

I have 30 US dollars, they should take that as well, they can change it at the bank rather than me doing it.

 

Yes. Chances are that if I asked him to coem back with a note he wouldn't bother or he'd go elsewhere. The customer would have to accept that they need to wait.

 

If ever we go into admin again don't bother bucket collecting again as the club won't want all the change collected.

 

They would probably refuse. And I can see why it would be a nightmare if everyone did it. But in an isolated case it can only improve the club's image to make an exception and use some common sense, perhaps explaining politely that next time it would be better to visit a bank first.

Once again, if you want to sell things to people, don't make it difficult for them to pay you. If you do, some of them won't, and you'll have less money.

 

Difference between donating money and exchanging it for goods.

Would you throw money in a bucket if you had to stand there and wait for it to be counted?

 

What an over reaction.


Common sense by the customer on this occassion was cleared left at the box office door.

 

Yes, that is exactly what people are saying, FFS.

I'm Pre-angry now.

 

I have just been down to the box office for a ticket for the Blackpool game.


I have a kiss-me-quick hat,half a stick of rock and some out of date tokens for the Pleasure Beach.

Again the Barstards behind the counter wouldn't relent.

 

Properly laughing.

It's good to see that policies and procedures are vital to most.

As long as they aren't bothered by them. Chelsea tickets.

 

Fair point. I'm probably the wrong person to ask as for the last 18 months I have counted so many buckets of money from fund raising for my god daughter who has a brain tumour. with things like that you learn the value of money and realise every penny counts. I think the club should have the every penny counts attitude

 

They have no legal obligation to accept this, and to be honest I would have asked you to go to the bank and change it too. Unless they spent time counting it out themselves they wouldn't know if it was the correct amount.

 

.

 

Point not missed, if he only has £20 to his name in small change he should have changed it into a £20 note before he got to the ticket office, honestly, any excuse to slag the club off, if I'd have been behind him in the queue, and he made me late for work while they fecked about with his loose change, I would have thrown him and his change out of the fecking ticket office, never mind them

 

Some people will take any opportunity to have a go at the club. Some of the responses I've read to this post are bordering on ridiculous.

 

I agree, they could've done something to maybe help him out but very few shops would have.

 

I personally think the box office were right in this instance.

But I'm not having a go at you mate. You've every right to post your experience on here. This is exactly what the BBS is for. You had an issue with the club and you've put it up on here for debate. Some people will agree with you, some won't.

 

Turn up at the turnstiles tonight with your change and see if they refuse you entry and send you around to the box office to purchase a ticket.


Fu.cking joke that club a car boot is ran better

 

I've got a feeling this Sooty character is reading this and laughing his socks off!

Tell you what though, not even Post Offices like changing it up now and do refuse. You have to bank it through your account to be safe.

 

No, get angry and post some wild analogy that is a million miles away from the original point to bolster your argument.
