    100% this. We see the figures for arrests etc and we're far from the worst club so why do we have to deal with this You can only draw one of two conclusions. Either the relevant authorities are incapable of doing their job properly and identifying, ejecting / arresting and banning the relevant...

    If I was someone involved in the policing of games, ie the police and the SAG, I'd be thoroughly embarrassed to constantly be putting out statements like this. You may as well just say you're totally incompetent and can't cope with a small away following which is a matter of routine at every...

    How the fuck can it be sold out when the club say they are expecting 25K. This stuff really needs sorting out, its embarrassing God nows how many ticket sales we lose when people look, see no tickets available, and don't keep checking to see if they're being drip fed out

    Is this the same every game or another weird decision for tonight to put people off coming?

    What incidents? It's so frustrating how we seem to be the only club in the country that seem to have to deal with this constant shit from the SAG. They need to be called out on it more and made to justify their decisions as at the moment, given there's no less trouble at our games than...

    I'm going to guess the sensors are in the posts for the goal line tech but couldn't they have something like Hawkeye that they use at the tennis?

    Think a lot of these problems, including things like issues upgrading a ticket, are down to the way the ticketmaster system works rather than anything the club are doing and we aren't really a big enough client for Ticketmaster to pay the slightest bit of attention if we want things like that...

    Wonder if we went through this with phones. Today people would think you'd lost the plot if you said you didn't know how to make a phone call. Can't be that far off looking at people who can't do the basics online the same way.

    I'm not great with cars past the basics but DIY is a real no go for me, even the most basic things. Get the same as you, everyone is 'that's easy, just look on YouTube' but I've now reached the point where I know its a lot less stress and cheaper overall to get someone in to do it right first...

    Things that annoy you

    Last.fm used to be great for recommendations but I can't get it to work at all since I've moved from iTunes to Apple Music No idea how that hasn't either be bought by Apple or them being able to implement similar functionality. It seems like such a basic feature to have on a music streaming service

    Don't think anyone is saying there shouldn't be an option for those who genuinely can't buy a ticket any other way, maybe with he caveat that they shouldn't be expecting to be able to walk into the club store at any point and be served immediately. The issue is more around making sure the...

    Do places have ticket offices these days that are open at times when there's not an event on? Just thinking of some local ones, NEC and NIA don't, nor do either the O2 Academy or Institute. It's increasingly rare these days. I suspect the only reason we still have one is because we have a...

    Pretty sure the old system was just running off a PC sat in the ticket office :ROFLMAO: You'd hope that wasn't the case if they decided to have a new system

    Things that annoy you

    While we're talking about personalised product recommendations why is Apple so bad at this? How hard can it be to have a decent recommendation service for music, tv, books etc given I'm 100% locked into the Apple eco system and they know exactly what I'm consuming.

    I think a lot of people have forgotten how often the system pre-ticketmaster used to completely collapse. Its obv possible but does the cost of developing an in house system bring any return for the club? The most obvious options to change to are AXS or, for a more local option, Ticket Factory...

    you can get a bank account with a debit card from the age of 11, you can get a prepaid card from the age of 6. How many under 6s are turning up at the ticket office to buy tickets with cash? if people miss the postal deadline then collect at the ground or e-tickets there should be a very...

    Ticketmaster is part of the same company as Livenation who own or operate venues and are the booking agent for the artist. Their biggest competitor is AXS which is part of AEG who also own or operate venues and are the booking agent for the artist. Years ago Pearl Jam tried to tour without...

    I'd look at it the other way round. What can you do at the ticket office that you can't do online? If there's anything then get that fixed on the online system. Absolutely no reason for people to need to go to the ground to get a ticket these days
