Dropped my missus off at Huddersfield railway station last week. She had a ticket but I was only dropping her off. They had barriers at the entrance and were checking tickets in and out - this guy let me through even though I didn't have a ticket. Only thing is, train was delayed by 30 mins so we finished up having a coffee. By the time I came to leave the original security guy had gone and the replacement security guy thought I'd just got off a train with no ticket - would not let me through unless I paid an on the spot fine. Eventually I persuaded him to accompany him to my car and show him my timed and dated car park ticket before he believed me. Which reminds me. Why not have a vending machine which accepts notes, like at airports for car parking fees? There are vouchers in your season ticket book with magnetic strips, like the car parking tickets you get when entering a car park. You put the voucher in the machine, stick your 25 quid in and hey presto - out comes your Chelsea ticket. Just a thought. Ah'll get mi coit.
I Know About Those People Well Fare dodgers are still going to pay less anyway if they want to. They buy a ticket for say Lockwood (first stop) and get off at Honley or somewhere.
sheff utd fans have a personal card. if they want a ticket for a game, they ring the box office, including a automated service, switch the £20 or so ticket fee onto the card and hey presto, they turn up at bramall lane, switch there personal card through the turnstile and watch the game. no 5 hour queues, no raffle tickets, no arguments, just good service and a bit of technology
No because I obviously don't know they are doing that. I am just assuming people do, as there's some naughty people around lol.
YOU REALLY CANT GRASP THIS CAN YOU Its not supposed to be easy to get a ticket, why do that , when you can piss thousands of people off . Seriously tho` thats a great idea, but it will never be taken up mate. we will only need to use it when we have a big game, I mean its not as if we are trying to get promoted to the Premiership is it? IS IT?
Blunts used to be as shambolic as us, but hey! They realised there was a problem, took ownership and sorted it out.</p> They've gone from having one of the worst to one of the best ticketing operations in the game within about 12 months.</p> But the difference between them and us is that they acknowledged the problem and wanted to sort it. Our lot won't even accept there is a problem.</p>
