Why oh why does everything always have to be such a shambles?
I take it that you pose a rhetorical question ? ... I remember the farce, last season at Plough Lane.. Fans had to form different queues to collect tickets - which Peter LLoyd had to take to the ground - because of maladministration by the club - giving no chance for postage or personal collection at Priestfield... The scene outside their new stadium was chaotic..... what's the betting for much the same next week...I can't wait!
At the beginning of last week, I phoned the Club to ascertain that the ticket office would be open on the day of the Portsmouth friendly........ I also made a 'casual' enquiry regarding the despatch of season ticket cards.. I was told that they were being placed in the post (( 11 days ago. )) Needless to say, I'm still waiting......
perhaps I can practise being a pain-in-the-arse (again), on 6th August [[ first home game.]]....
A few years ago, at the opening Home game 0f that season, I attempted to use my complemetary voucher for 2 additional tickets for guests... I had already phoned ahead to ensure that I would be able to use the voucher.... I spoke to the CEO - who stated ''no problem.'' -- but-- in the ticket office, I was told otherwise. - I was told that the game was Category A ( or X !! )... I wasn't going to tolerate this excuse.. I told the poor chap in the ticket office that ;
1. There was
no advertisement regarding the category status.
2. The season ticket T&Cs did
not state that I could not use my voucher for the game.
3. I stated that the CEO had confirmed approval of my voucher use...............
I got my complementary tickets ( and they didn't take my voucher ! )....
.........
so- you'll not be surprised with my contingency plan
I have received my email confirmation of purchase of my (2) season tickets.... Naturally (( cynically )), I have not deleted the email !!! If I haven't received my season tickets by 6th August, I shall be kicking up a stink at the ticket office on the day of the Rochdale game.
