But if the collection is at the ground and you’re obviously going to the ground, why’s it such an inconvenience? Especially if it’s only a select few. 

Just one example above. You are being forced to arrive at the ground early. What if you hit traffic on the way and are touch and go to get there for KO? By having to collect you will likely miss the majority of the first half.

 

Even at home games I have seen plenty of occasions where people had to go to the ticket office as their tickets didn't work, they turn up around 25/30 mins into the game.

 

The main point is the fact it is unnecessary and the club are making up non-existent excuses to do it. Again, as above and something I have mentioned a few times, fix the away ticket sales process/priority system first.

For example if you are with your mates at the pub. You will have to leave early just to get a ticket. The lines are always long. Just annoying for whoever is going kinda kills the match experience if you have to leave the pub early or head to the ground early enough and miss out etc. And also the fact about how the priority system needs sorting out too. 

It is an unnecessary procedure yes, that is the main point.

 

But I do find the inconveniencing points very weak. It is a tiny proportion of tickets being collected, you can rock up to the ground at the usual time and be sure you'll get your tickets. if you're leaving the pub early to collect match tickets you need to chill out and stop being so anxious. I cannot be the only one who has bought away tickets and had to collect on the day, it's never a problem. I've also seen many posters saying away tickets should be pay at the gate and general sale, which it used to be and was largely never a problem in my experience.

‘Best run club in England’ 

‘Best owners in football’

 

Definitely got to the staffs head. 
 

Just remember this is employees of LCFC making these decisions. Their job is to serve stakeholders, amongst who is the fans. They do whatever they can to alienate the fans

The thing is these things very quickly become the norm, remember how digital tickets was a choice? Now they plan to go all digital only a couple of years later.

True. I think I am the wrong person to speak to about these things as I am so happy with NFC tickets and really do not want it to change. Plus I have a hard time listening to instructions without trying to find loopholes.

Utterly disgusting 

 

Stick your doughnuts in the bin and start treating the supporters like people, not customers

Club is rotten

[Fox92]

But we shouldn’t moan because we get a free doughnut!

[westernpark]

There used to be unchallenged praise for the supporter liaison officer. 

[Leicester_Loyal]

End result is the right one but ffs. 
 

This club makes me sick. They can all get ****ed. 

[Foxes1]

So how did this Id system go then did anyone who had to collect say anything to the ones handing out the tickets 

[Bayfox]

Just come back from the FCC

 

the club confirmed 100 tickets were held back. And 45 went uncollected. So in their eyes a high percentage.

 

Another 10 people were found to be carrying other people's tickets in checks at the ground and refused entry.

 

This 'trial' is likely to remain in place for the rest of the season.  It seems a 1st offence may only result in a slap on the wrists. As you can blame anything from covid, train strikes, death in the family etc.

 

However there is definitely a close to zero policy on collection. Although it was mentioned ID ing a kid is a bit harder.

 

However repeat offenders. Could see some or all away points removed.

 

Also seems they are moving towards NFC although not 100% for season tickets next year. But they are looking at adding photo ID to anyone requesting a physical card. And they may well also charge extra for the privilege to try push you towards NFC

A grey area (as the big man would say).

 

Or in other words, suck it up or go away.

Not related to away tickets, but at the game yesterday a Chelsea fan was sitting next to me and kept celebrating when they scored. Others had a pop at him. When asked where did he get his ticket, he replied his mate worked at the club…shocking 

[lcfcjosh]

I’ve got a question, if someone has physical away tickets does this mean no id check?

If it's true what he said, contact the club tell them the seat no. they should be able to see who the ticket was allocated to and do something about it, they probably won't but it's worth a try.

How many have been asked to collect their ticket from the ground? (For Brentford)

[lcfcfem]

Had to collect mine from Brentford today. Only hassle was buses were late and then I had to leg it half way round the ground to get the ticket (easy enough) and leg it back to the away end. A group of lads couldn’t get in due to having company/corporate tickets and they said only the guy booking them could have his. Loads of empty seats near me then at half time they filled up with relatives and friends of Soumare!!!  

[kilburnfox]

3 of us went to Brentford on Saturday, 2 with tickets 1 without. Lad without a ticket came to the ground with us and asked the LCFC staff at the ticket collection (loudly) if there was any chance of getting a ticket. Got laughed at obviously. Walked away and was followed by a tout who sorted him a ticket in the Leicester end. As he walked away he asked him out of interest how he got hold of the ticket. 

"One of the players"

Think the club need to look a bit closer to home to solve their tickets falling into the wrong hands problem.

Wonder what the stats are from Saturday.
 

To my naked eye I could see patches of spare seats dotted around.

I was actually surprised how many empty seats were around us in our block.. be interesting to know how many didn’t collect tickets and how many arrests there were from our anti social away end 🙄

It was very empty around us towards the back, just like where I was at Southampton too.

 

The club will see tickets not being collected as vindication for what they're doing, but the reality is that many simply aren't bothering to travel when it comes to matchday.

 

And I get it.

It was sold out. Are you saying people are buying tickets then not bothering to go when it comes to the day? I find that crazy

I noticed that at Southampton.  Near the back behind the goal, almost a completely empty row (even though the web site had shown all tickets sold in that area).
