Are they still available? Asking for a friend....
Have you tried looking on the ticketing website?
Yes, there's nothing on there apart from Membership. The deadline for early bird was 12th August but there's no info whether they are available past that date?
Once again the mind boggles on this one.
Take fans money when they want to spend it.
Just offer a pro rata season ticket until half way and the half season tickets go on sale. It wouldn't take too much head work from the club.
Bristol City and Membership is it as far as the ticket page offerings are concerned at the moment. No mention of upcoming away games and if you want to plan to go to a home game past the next one then you'll have to wait. Laughable from the club.
dml and the like will excuse it though. He'll probably say they've sold them all like he did with the threadbare clubshop.
In a shock move the ticket office emailed me back and apparently they're selling them over the phone - lines are open between 10 and 4 everyday. Who knew?!?

Just had a thought, how do you pick a seat, over the phone, without seeing a plan of the stadium ?
Have the club laid off staff?Quote:

Makes no sense. That's why i asked if they were under staffed.Quote:

We were supposed to get the bar codes again today.

So the club replied to your email and gave you a way of buying them and the times when that would be possible? Those assholesQuote:

So you call up, pick a seat from any seating plan you can find yourself and ask if it is taken.
Like an expensive and slightly frustrating version of Battleship.
Are they advertising for staff down the City.
Something weird seems to be happening.
What club has season tickets on sale but you've got to call them to find out if they are actually on sale and how to buy them? 😄
Not saying they’re assholes but no information other than via a singular emailed response to potential fan base of 30k+ isn’t quite right don’t you think?Quote:

If they actually got their $hit together and got every possible revenue stream for fans working to its full potential we might not be in the financial state we're in as a club. You only make money in a few ways as a football club and the way they take potential money from fans is nothing short of amateur.
Get the club shop stocked with a range of things for fans to buy. Get more than one home game tickets on sale along with season tickets.
The app that they ask you download to link you to all the potential revenue streams is nothing short of crap.
How hard can it be ffs?
So says somebody who isn't a season ticket holder, doesnt use the online ticketing system or app or even go to games. All guesswork and supposition…..again…. based on heresay.Quote:

Season tickets are not available online. Fact.
The club offer a discount with a membership on matchday tickets. Well they do unless you want to buy online. No point calling as the call costs more than the discount. Fact.
The club have a grand total of one home game on sale. Fact.
The club shop is threadbare and regardless of doughnuts like you saying it's because we've sold so much it is another indication of an area of the club being run badly. Another fact.
The app is poor by any measure. Just take a look at the reviews of it on any app store. It doesn't work for many for things they've paid for like commentary and the like and closes when it likes.
Say it is guesswork and hearsay all you like.
All of what I have posted above are facts.
At any time, but especially in the current climate, a club needs to be taking any cash the fans are willing to spend.
It isn't difficult.
Just get a stocked club shop so fans can buy things.
Get a working ticket page with more than one home fixture on sale.
Lastly, an app that works (team news crashes the app when you click on the notification is another glitch off the top of my head).
The absolute minimum a club should be doing to give itself a fighting chance is accepting money that fans are willing to spend.
If you're failing at that then changes are needed.
On the club ap, we’re still down to play Forest on the Saturday :facepalm:
It was more the fact that you put a negative slant on the club doing what you wanted them to and emailing you back with the information you neededQuote:

This applies to the telephone systems too which, according to many regulations, are not fit for purpose regarding accessibility. However, I know this is recognised by the club and they will be improving it because as it stands, it sucks.
Many older people, disabled people and people living farther away from CCS require the website and telephone service to be functioning efficiently. If the Ticket Office was open (and I've made my view on this very clear) then this would free up the telephone services for those who really need them. There shouldn't be any conflict over this stuff between any us. Nobody has the right to assume that their situation and ability applies to everyone else. How difficult is it to think of others?
I don't know why it's so difficult for some to recognise that supporting Cardiff City FC is not reliant on accepting corporate mismanagement, inaccessibility to basic services, the inability to be able to offer a fan-friendly experience all the while making it incredibly difficult for all people (able-bodied and disabled) to purchase goods and services i.e.spend their money.
This is totally separate to supporting the team. I don't buy a season ticket to go down to CCS and cheer our great board leaders and executives. This is not a cult, it's a club. And as fans, stop treating us just as cash cows.

While other companies and clubs are doing their best to get up and running City are arguably the worst they've been in quite some time in this area and it shows.
People are castigating the club based on the experience of some individuals, whereas for the vast majority there have been no serious issues and they have been able to get tickets and gain access to the ground easily. No one is saying that the system is totally without flaws - the club have obviously had problems with getting the season ticket cards through from the manufacturers and been affected, like most other businesses at the moment, by Covid and Brexit staffing and supply of product issues. However to continually criticise them when they are obviously working extremely hard to get it all sorted is very unfair. In blue lewjs case it is only one of a long line of complaints in his ‘master plan’ to discredit everything the club does.
Yeah, they're doing great dml. Absolutely outstanding.Quote:

You care far too much about how many Cardiff City tshirts and keyrings are in a shop, it's weirdQuote:

You just talk about it a lot that's all. But to be fair it's actually none of my business so carry on, I'm gonna eat before heading to the game. I'll stick my head into the shop and update you if I have timeQuote:
