Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Any season ticket holders received their text / email link for their Barnsley ticket yet?
-
Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Nothing yet.
Not sure why they choose to leave it so late?

A supporter should be able able to go and buy a ticket, with cash, if they want, and the club, being a business, should welcome that.
It's immoral that after the catastrophic economic downturn the country has seen, that they're not laying out the red carpet to fans as well as being responsible and compassionate to the grassroots staff of their football club.
As Blue_Tit has correctly pointed out on a number of occasions, other businesses are open.
You can go into Argos and buy a sofa with cash. But you can't go down to CCS and buy a bloody ticket.
There's absolutely no defence or excuse for that - only feeble ones.

I don't think I called you a liar. I am saying their story is false as anyone who has travelled in London will know.

Of course they are skint. What makes you think that Cardiff City is closed for business? I am sure that plenty of people here have tickets for Saturday, and there were fans at recent home friendlies.
How do you think fans that live away from Cardiff get tickets? Do you go to a cinema a week before watching a movie to get a ticket, then go back a week later to watch the movie?
Plenty of people here say the club is offering to print tickets.
The problem here isn't the club, it's a handful of fans who want a team of staff sat around waiting for them to call in. That is not feasible for a club that has lost its main income stream for the last year. Nothing feeble about what the club are doing in my opinion.

BTW, you don't tell the driver where you are going. Once you swipe your card, you are charged a fixed price. I think it's about £1.50. If you don't have an Oyster card, you can use your bank card or credit card. You don't even have to get on at the front of the bus, the card readers are also in the middle and the back of the bus. No conductors. :hehe:

Either they are lying, or they are so clueless about travelling in London they thought that what they were saying was true. It isn't.

People will be able to turn up on the day and pay cash for a ticket, either in the ticket office or one of the outside booths.

They could have walked on and sang the chorus of Dancing Queen if they wanted. What is stopping them? They can say what they like.
If they are not from London then getting on a bus and trying to do what busses do back home, pay the driver and tell him where you're going, it isn't that far fetched is it?

That's great news but what's your source? How do fans know this? The official line on the club website is 'Due to circumstances arising from the pandemic, the Ticket Office is currently closed to the public'.

Send them the link so they know how the 21st century works. If they are concerned, then, honestly, they could ask any one of the millions of other tourists how it works and get an answer.

All I am saying is that you are relaying their story and trying to prove a point about technology not ever working so it may not be an accurate recollection of events (seeing as you were neither the man nor, I suspect, the wife).

bank cards and bus fares are not a laughing matter.
Taking your bank card everywhere is old news anyway, we all pay with our watches and phones now. Keep up! :hehe:

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Well, I've just downloaded my Barnsley ticket. Have to say it wasn't the easiest task in the world.
Once you know the route, it's simple enough to do, but finding that 'way in' is the hard part.
I don't understand why the club doesn't publish clear and concise instructions.

Exactly. But I genuinely don't believe they can without the input of EFL Digital. A FAQs is essential and an idiot's guide to getting this stuff done. It's the reason they take forever to update the site or fix problems.
