Anyone got their season ticket?

Wa hey!!!

Just got my three in the post this morning. Roll on August 7th!

Didn't see who delivered mine, neighbour said it was Cory Gibbs

Mine just came through the door, must say they look smart

so can u just use these to get into an away match without paying?

It's black :-O

Just home from work. Half day. No sign of mine. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Mine and the other half's arrived this morning, noticed it cost 50p postage each package, so 8000 odd season tickets = £4000 !!
Can't think of anyway they could save this money each season.
Anyone got any ideas ??

When we send the forms out (through a mailing house) we are charged less to send one out to each applicant than if we get them to match people who live in the same house. This is due to the additional time (and therefore cost) involved. They are the professionals at it and that is their cost structure. The club doesn't use the mailing house to send out the season tickets, but we do bring in casual staff to do it so there is still a direct correlation between cost and time.

Before the delayed delivery the intention was to send the books second class and this would have saved approximately £800, but in view of the proximity of the season and the potential for confusion and chaos if books were arriving in the run-up to the opening match - itself a cost to resolve and potential handicap to match sales on the opening day - we decided to send them first class as a precaution.

It would have been better if the whole exercise had been done earlier but for various reasons that wasn't possible either.

I understand that some people prefer to believe that such decisions are taken because everyone at the club is a bit thick, but staff do at least have the advantage of experience of what they are doing and an understanding of the associated risks and constraints on which to base their decisions.

We struggle to deal with ticket collections and the sale of a couple of thousand home tickets on a matchday because we don't have the physical capacity, i.e. ticket windows and staff. No matter how you set up a ST collection operation - and I accept that some people would be able to collect them in advance of a matchday and that people could even be given the option on the form - you would inevitably be left with hundreds to add to the matchday operation. In addition, any queries arising from these late collections would have to be processed on the matchday.

It is much more efficient for the club to put them all in the post and deal with any issues out of the pressurised matchday situation and you could easily lose that £4k postage - which should have been £3.2k - in walk-up revenue that you couldn't process in the ensuing chaos.
