stripeyfox Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Some facts for you. .average queue time at the stadium is 6 hours plus, when I arrived at 1pm I was told I wouldn't be served, a barrier was then put out behind me cutting off about 100 or so behind, the majority of which left their names on a form, those handful that queued despite being told they were unlikely to be served, we're in fact served, as we're those who turned up later. They had just 7 staff serving, the guys n gals serving look knackered. No one in the queue managed to get through on the phone or Web to my knowledge. I've spent 3 hours online, 6.5 hours in a stadium queue. And there's hardly anything left in family stand, sk2/3. Oh and we're officially tinpot when it comes to retail. I reckon you were next to me. Were you the guy from Atherstone with your mrs?
Lichfieldfox. Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Help....now on website again, season ticket options are more info (click and nothing happens) or select button which is greyed out and does not show hand tool:
bart Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 I was also told that they reckoned they'd shifted around 3,000 new applications today 3000! someone laughed when I said they'd shift 2000. So 7000 might be gone by Thursday if the demand keeps up.....
Dr The Singh Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Help....now on website again, season ticket options are more info (click and nothing happens) or select button which is greyed out and does not show hand tool: Your fooked, that happened to me earlier today!!!
foreverfan Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 hi does anyone know if u can do the pay monthly over the phone or on line or do u have to go to the ground many thanks Yes you can do DD on the phone at least. I got through about 4pm and waited about 30 mins in the queue. Was thinking would have to go tomorrow after work but now we're sorted out.
Lichfieldfox. Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Giving up for today :-( If I ran my organisation like this I'd lose my job.
sdb Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Yes if they turn up between 9am and midday can go to the front of the queue. Sadly my name is on the clipboard - but I'm working all day every this week, only had this afternoon to go. I told the man with the clipboard this and that I'm a teacher and the guy (apparently Scott Paul, head of ticketing - doing a very bad job) said he will call me personally tomorrow. Anyone reckon he actually will?! not if he reads that!!
Guest LCFC_World Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Once you have ordered when does the money come out of your bank account?
steveherbe Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 That's absolutely disgraceful.Shocking from the club. I'Ll wave to you next season from t'internet. Save me a fortune next year, I'll be able to buy that ferrari I've always wanted
stripeyfox Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 3000! someone laughed when I said they'd shift 2000. So 7000 might be gone by Thursday if the demand keeps up..... I don't know how accurate the 3,000 as it certainly wasn't an "official" number. I have no idea how many were in the queue and how many each person was buying. But I would expect them to go this week. My only chance was today so I had to go. My legs hurt like a bastard
Illusion35 Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 not if he reads that!! He was perfectly pleasant to me, seemed genuine enough, but now seems he didn't tell the truth about the situation. Sent me away even though he knew I can't come back tomorrow and then allowed others to join the queue again later on after I went home. I said I was happy to wait as long as necessary.
stripeyfox Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Right I'm actually angry now! I was told at 2.45pm that absolutely no one who wasn't in the queue ahead of me at that point would be served today and the ticket office was closing at 6pm. Fecking liars! I would have waited! Everyone sent home would have waited! I got there at 1300 and they security guy closed the queue just after me. People behind were told that they wouldn't be served but stayed anyway with the proviso that they might be served "if possible" but there was no guarantee.
Buzzell Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 hi does anyone know if u can do the pay monthly over the phone or on line or do u have to go to the ground many thanks You can definitely do it over the phone. I did it earlier. I'm sure you would be able to do it over the web also.
Gary Eatfood Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 3000! someone laughed when I said they'd shift 2000. So 7000 might be gone by Thursday if the demand keeps up..... No way have they sold that many. Only 2 people managed to buy online before the website crashed.
S1DDO Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 I've never been for Six hours with ought having a piss before - until today
Itsthejoeker Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 You can definitely do it over the phone. I did it earlier. I'm sure you would be able to do it over the web also. I genuinely don't get three words through your posts until i get distracted. Top notch my friend. :knock:
Guest LCFC_World Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 I managed to purchase a season ticket early this morning online but the money is yet to be taken out my bank , is this a problem? It's making me think I entered the wrong details and the order has not gone through even though I have conformation! Thanks!
promised land Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Just got back from the ticket office after a 6 1/2 hour queue to get my season tickets. To be honest when I realised how long it would take I wasn't going to bother but I'd promised my son and today was my only chance to get down there. Once I was there, I may as well stick with it. The queue got "closed" just after I joined it at 1.00pm. Stuff I learned in the queue/ticket office The club has a strange approach to putting out safety barriers. At least three stewards need a long discussion before one barrier should be placed Standing up for 6 hours hurts your legs (a lot) The guy who runs the ticket office is a nice bloke with good people skills I got a free capri sun which was so cold it must have been stored in liquid nitrogen The girl who served me (Anna) was very lovely despite being tired and annoyed at morons shouting and complaining at her The club shop sells a lot of shite at very high prices The ticket office would have preferred to commence sales tomorrow or thursday to give them more time to prepare I was also told that they reckoned they'd shifted around 3,000 new applications today Family Stand all sold out (apart from odd tickets here and there) JTT corners also "limited availability" A few things about this post but I can't be arsed to argue online but why oh why did you post the 3K sold today, this will only panick the people reading this. Think I'll wait to June to renew.
Soup Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 I'Ll wave to you next season from t'internet. Save me a fortune next year, I'll be able to buy that ferrari I've always wantedNever seen a blue and white Ferrari, go for it.

If you have confirmation the money will be out of your bank account before long.
Guest LCFC_World Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 If you have confirmation the money will be out of your bank account before long. Thanks mate, I'm just a bit of a worrier that's all!
Gary Eatfood Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Thanks mate, I'm just a bit of a worrier that's all! Haha... would never have guessed.
Guest LCFC_World Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 No, I just wondered why none of the money has been taken yet, I thought they did it more or less straight away!
Illusion35 Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 I'm now worried that I've mentioned someone by name who might read my posts! Didn't enter my head that he might! So if you do come across this Mr Paul ignore my raging and please do call me as promised
