What ticket office staff?
Why would you pay for staff if you've got a company running it with the aim of selling more print at home tickets etc? It is just more belt tightening I think. Shame in many respects for Coventry people to lose jobs mind, despite the criticism they get on here.I was told tonight that redundancies happening with the ticket office staff.
Probably to do with ticket master taking over. But makes you think finances are getting tighter if admin staff are getting struck off.
No it was always staff from city some from the old Highfield Road ticket office.I thought we used butts staff?
OhNo it was always staff from city some from the old Highfield Road ticket office.
Who sells out things like One Direction tours in seconds if kids aren't able to buy them? We're only moving to a system that the vast majority of events now use.I still don't know what they'll do if there is a high demand game, because while most of us don't understand why people don't buy online, they'll always be those that prefer to get them in person - or more specifically pay cash, a lot of young fans don't have debit cards. No ticket office in the week seems odd. Yes cash is available on matchday, but they're stopping pay on the gate too. Seems like a recipe for chaos.
Not everyone has easy access to PC my dad is 67 and is useless on WWW. Having a ticket office makes it easier for people like him and there is plenty like that. We soon have no ticket office and a tiny club shop which boasts very little in terms of merchandise. The standard of this club is falling slowly and with the news about academy. We are heading in the wrong direction.Why would you pay for staff if you've got a company running it with the aim of selling more print at home tickets etc? It is just more belt tightening I think.

Your comparing CCFC to 1D? Leave it out. football fans are football fans. Many old who have no access to Internet who wouldn't know how it works. Many fans like to see someone face 2 face with ticket issues. All this is going. I wonder how many teams in FL72 has no ticket office and a club shop the size of ours?

Sorry to hear that you failed your GCSE English.Just leave me alone, just saying my opinion on stuff, isn't that what this was made for
That's terrible news, how many staff were employed do you know? Thought ticket master is a good idea but when it affects local jobs I'm not so sure...sorry to hear it.I was told tonight that redundancies happening with the ticket office staff.

I was responding to a post saying younger fans wouldn't be able to buy tickets online.Your comparing CCFC to 1D?
I thought all the ticket staff were losing their jobs?
Anderson said the current staff are on one year full time contracts and these are not being renewed - so technically they are not being made redundant. The position at the BPA is part time but I guess legally has to be advertised openly (sure someone with better employment law knowledge than me can look at this) and not just handed to a current staff member or maybe none of them wanted to be part time at the BPA? This is more cost cutting by the club as was the outsourcing of the programme and shop. Times are tight at the club and cloth needs to be cut accordingly - running a tight ship off the pitch is as important as on it as long as it doesn't lower service or affect the SCMP figure
Technically both terminations of contract, little differenceIt's already been posted about, it's just contracts ending not redundancy isn't it
A fair few do it now, lots use ticket master and just sportsPresume TM will now provide staff for BPA now then as away tickets will still have to come from there (since other clubs don't use TM so can be done in the same format?)
Are we the only team who source the shop and ticket sales out? Seems madness when you had long term staff who knew how football ticketing works.
Yes, people complained about phone times, waiting times in person etc, but remember most the time we only had 2 people working to do it all. Atleast they knew what they were doing!
