    It still is not available online to get a season ticket for people who weren't pass holders last season, only over the phone which fits in with the article

    First thing any new owner needs to do is bring back concessions for kids and pensioners

    With no cash been taken yet there should be away they can do that for the coming season.

    The persistance of this in the face of a potential ownership change concerns me. Whilst not irreversable, to go back to season tickets, concessions and people sat where they were will be an administrative nightmare, and the closer to the season start it gets the harder it becomes to reverse these ****e decisions.

    Nope, that's what I'm getting too.

    I did the maths last night - assuming each caller takes 10 minutes per call, and each call is for a pair of season tickets oops memberships, then with a bit of rounding the staff could process a maximum of 100 memberships each per 8 hour shift. Anyone know how many operators they have answering the lines because they ain't going to be selling a huge number this way.

    Why on earth couldn't they get it set up to do online like most 21st Century ticketing...

    got through on the line for existing holders, 594550, took a while to get onto someone (maybe about 45mins) however it didnt matter for the non-existing holders I booked for and she it was all fine, so try that one?

    I hope the new owners sort the phone lines out, Fourth time I've been listening to Meyler & others telling me when they're open for longer than 15 minutes.

    ****s, the owners, not the new ones or the players.

    I have been a season ticket holder before, and couldn't buy online. It took over an hour of waiting but managed to get through. If you have been a season ticket holder before, you don't have to pay the joining fee.

    must be the only team in the League who make it as difficult as possible to buy a ticket - 45 minute wait on the phone - cannot book a seat online unless you've been before - no ticket office

    If buying a match day ticket makes you a member. What about hanging fire, and saving a few months fee, buying a match day ticket, and then getting the 'pass' the following day with no joining fee.

    Clearly you can't, because we have different size members.

    Got through eventually on 594550, very helpful lady, got seats we wanted in East Stand. Took about an hour in total.

    Was a debate on principles vs supporting the team, the team won but doesn't mean we won't join in any future protests in support of restoring proper concessions.

    this is stupid, they've cut the costs in the ticket office so to encourage us to buy online or buy these ticket machines. So on the day of general sale they remove the option to buy online meaning you have to phone the ticket office with no staff.
    Tomorrows HDM headline: "Ticket office phone line meltdown as record numbers try to buy passes" whilst failing to tell us its because we couldnt buy online

    Whats worse is im not even suprised by this debacle, i can see Ehab and mooney sat rocking back and forth in their chairs throwing maltesers at each other whilst giggling "another few thousand pissed off today Mr Allam"
    "well done mooney, good job and they've all swallowed this takeover bollox to "
