So I have to get four tickets for Bury. How do I get them at face value?
I think the £3 hike before kick off is not actually true. It would mean that a purchase in person about 1.30 on a matchdays will be £5.50 more expensive.
That can't possibly be the situation.2 -
Football for £7.50 doesn't have quite the same ring to it does it? Market you're way out of this one, morons.7

Have they released the matchday prices yet?

But you can't buy coach tickets online. So if you need to get a coach you are forced to phone them, or go down there, and therefore forced to pay the booking fee.WSS said:
That option is buying them online and printing them off yourself.InspectorSands said:Already stuck this on the Bury thread, but this may break consumer law:

Another "unique" experience being offered up by KM & Co0

Desperate to force fans to buy season tickets, well having given mine up (until this scum have sold up) it probably means that I won't even bother attending the occasional match. After attending for 50 years never thought I'd feel like this but I'm not even bothered now.12

Maybe they made a mistake, and they mean £2.50 in person rising to £3 in person two hours before kick off.WSS said:

But the fans are boycotting the club shop are they not?InspectorSands said:The whole phasing-out-the-ticket-office thing's idiotic. For most people who live near the club, the ticket office is their first point of contact - asking them to go home and book online just puts a barrier up, which for a "community club of the year" is pretty daft. It's not like, say, closing a Tube ticket office, because people need public transport and will go along with alternative arrangements. Nobody needs to go to a football match, and faced with a barrier to leap over, they might find something else to do with their afternoon and disposable income.
And it simply doesn't work for away matches, and probably breaks consumer law in that regard.
It also kills sales at the club shop - how many of us have bought tickets at The Valley and then walked out having bought something at the shop?0 -
They can go fuck themselves quite frankly.42

So what happens when they have so few windows open that you can't actually buy 2 hours before...and you're stuck in the queue...where is the cut off point!?shirty5 said:Matchday ticket terms and conditions
Adults, over-65 and under-21 ticket prices will increase by £3 two hours before kick-Off.

Am I correct in thinking that buying an away ticket at the window incurs a £2.50 transaction fee?
If so, I assume one transaction buying 2 tickets is £2.50 not a fiver ?0 -

It will kill of any repeat casual walk-up. You will stomach it first time because you have made the journey but it will rankle and you will be much less inclined next time. MI wonder which Numpty came up with this idea? The next laugh will be the actual match-day ticket prices - surely they have to keep these under a score - maybe £19? Presumably all Bronze matches in Division 3?5

Do any other football clubs run with a modicum of competence do this?
Or is this just another facet to the matchday experience?0 -
@MartinCAFC
Out of interest mate (and in terms of openness and accountability)
1. Were these Target20k proposals you put to the club, or Club proposals?
2. If the later, what was the provided response to the Club?
3. When were the group made aware of this was going to be applied?
Thanks mate2 - Sponsored links:

It is weird (meaning Unique) that anyone would think this doesn't add to the match day experience in a positive way!1

Yet bizarrely, the more they attempt to treat their supporters like shit, the more some of them supporters are likely to buy a season ticket. Bonkers
Well they can poke it24 -
A timely reminder that this regime are fucking useless.
Laughably incompetent.
Please, please, please fuck off out of our club. Please.8 -
Why oh why people want to hand over these incompetent bastards. It's one thing after another.1

@InspectorSands is having a chat on Twitter with the ticket office.
They are basically saying that if you go down to the ticket office to buy Bury tickets you'll pay the £2.50 but if you buy the tickets online then walk down to collect them then you won't pay that fee.
Shambles.22 -

The gift that keeps on giving.
Apart from that gift is a massive dog shit.5 -

This might encourage more to actually *save* money as apparently it's very easy to buy a £5 kids print-at-home ticket online for any seat, any stand for any game. Just scan it and job's a good'un.
Not that I'd ever advocate swindling Roland out of money in such a way, of course.3 -
Can't wait to see how this works for the handful of away games that will go on restricted sale - Millwall, Gillingham, Wimbledon.1
