    Even I'm going to Bury (ta for the tenner train ticket tip), and I haven't been to an away match since Sheffield Wednesday two years ago.

    Plastic :smiley:
    Fantastic, of course. Have ditched the ST so looking forward to a few away days.

    Anyone have any idea how much match tickets are.

    Im led to believe it's £22.
    £18 according to cafc ticket news on twitter
    Even better. I might buy a house in bury with the £4 I'll be saving!
    Ah, but that only gives you a flat.

    Aren't you confusing Bury with Scouse land, EA ?

    "There is an administration charge of £2.50 per transaction for purchases made over the phone or in person"

    Admin charge creeping up. Taking the pee charging you in person!

    yeah paid online £18.00 plus a £1.00 postage fee, i think that's reasonable enough on bury's part, no reason why any league 1 match should be anymore than £20.00

    I will go down there in person tomorrow. Am I to understand there is an extra charge for people who schlepp to the actual Valley and buy at the ticket office window?

    Credit where it's due the online booking system worked very well for me, (although I did set up a new account as I haven't renewed) 2 family tickets purchased online for a reasonable price, well done Bury, really looking forward to this now

    "There is an administration charge of £2.50 per transaction for purchases made over the phone or in person."

    So the club expect me to pay £2.50 extra to buy a match ticket from a ticket desk 10 minutes' walk from my house, so they can faff around posting it to me instead (charging me an extra £1 anyway)?

    It's more convenient to buy in person if you live around the corner. It also avoided the surcharge from booking online.

    Have to say and I know this has been done to death, but the ticketing website really is a pile of shite. Tried 3 different browsers and 2 payment cards and everytme it went to take the payment it just said "error occurred" and logged me out. I ended up with a text from Barclays saying they were going to block my card as they suspected fraudulent activity!

    My aim was to buy Bury and 4 tickets for each of the home friendlies. Once you put one set of tickets in the basket, the continue shopping button fails - you just get an Apache Error saying the page doesn't exist! When you then try and get back to your basket it has been bloody emptied!!!

    Of course the NHS have taken over for the afternoon so I can't phone them either!

    Absolute shower of shite.

    Just bought 2 tickets online no problems at all. Signed up a new account though as whenever I used my old one I always got error messages

    "There should always be an option to buy tickets at face value without paying extra service charges."

    Looks like the regime might be breaking consumer law by charging for in-person sales.

    I had no end of problems with that ticket site, so just phoned them! Paid the lumpy telephone call cost and the bonus £2.50.

    I could hear in the back ground people pitching for season tickets. The lady on the phone said "season ticket sales had been disappointing, but they are not as bad as people are thinking". I asked "what are they?" and she said "sorry I don't know". I then asked "how do you know they are not as bad as people are thinking?" ...she was stumped! In the words of David Brent "Phase them"

    Bought ours Friday, dropped on the mat Saturday, train involves a tram apparently, has all the makings of a fun day, if we can even win.

    Going on the tram we can pretend we're going in to Croydon, that will be nice.

    If any spare tickets for trains pop then drop @Carter a note.

    Prices seemed to have increased.

    I think there is a site called ticket splitter.

    From what I can gather it works like this.

    Buy a return Euston to Crewe, then Crewe to Manchester return.

    For further clarification can Clive, my fellow train travel co-ordinator, confirm this.

    You can save quite a lot by booking advance singles to Crewe & back & then advance singles between Crewe & Manchester,but the cheapest trains can take a lot longer.
    I have messaged @Carter .
