    I'm sure once upon a time years ago each 'taken' seat had a sticker on it with 'season ticket holder' or summat like..

    Only for FA Cup games and then you usually don’t get a ticket when paying at the turnstiles.

    I have paid at away grounds and usually not received a ticket either.

    What if 3 non- season ticket holders join the queue and all get given a ticket on w different row? You seriously think they would just sit in the seats designated on their tickets?

    Not that this is any different from not buying a ticket to those that get one but sit elsewhere

    Does this help?

    Bradford City Home Match Ticket Information - 2018/2019

    The main two ways to purchase home match tickets for City's Sky Bet League One fixtures at the Northern Commercials Stadium throughout the 2018/2019 season are:

    • ONLINE - PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE CLUB'S OFFICIAL TICKETING WEBSITE
    • In person from the Ticket Office at the Northern Commercials Stadium.
    The Ticket Office number at the Northern Commercials Stadium is: 01274 770012

    We are no longer able to take card bookings over the telephone due to impending PCI legislation which governs how we store card details.

    The Ticket Office Hours of Business are:

    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 9.00am - 5.00pm
    Sunday:     Closed
    Saturday (non-matchdays): 9:00am - 12noon Saturday (matchdays):     9.00am - 3.00pm


    https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/tickets/home-tickets/

    It is not difficult to find. No deep Hercule Poirot skills required.

    Perhaps it needs a specific link embedded in each matchday Ticket announcement? Not sure if @Fools Gold@Fools Gold or @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler could make a suggestion to the ticket office/webmaster?

    Glenn tks for replying on behalf of the club.
    Im sure you recognize shortcomings in text on line which is really not very helpful as far as the uncommitted and irregular customer is concerned.
    I want to make it crystal clear to the new or returning customer that he is welcome and it is easy to buy tickets .
    I need to see more promotion on the website which points this uncommitted customer to either the ticket office or the website.
    Make it sound easy to get the correct info to enable him make a positive decision to buy a ticket for the next game or even the next but one game.
    As I have said before every empty seat at every home match is a missed revenue opportunity

    It’s very rare to see cash turnstiles in operation in higher divisions, I’m not sure why it’s such a surprise to the OP especially when such a high proportion of our home capacity is taken up by ST holders.

    If we go back a decade when we only had 5,000 season ticket holders it’s perfectly reasonable to offer cash turnstiles when such a large percentage of the stadium is empty.

    I don't think the OP is saying there should be a cash turnstyles. I think he is saying it isn't immediately clear from the website what you should do instead. From Glenn's post above I believe this has now been addressed. Hopefully we can now expect an extra couple of thousand walk-ups next home game :)

    The club haven't managed to introduce turnstiles that will scan season tickets yet, even though it has been discussed for the past ten years and now you are suggesting online ticket sales that produce a QR code that can be scanned at the turnstile. May as well just go the whole hog and go for a Champions League final win

    I don’t tend to look for info on the city website but this info should be on there to find. If it isn’t it should be rectified. A simple phone call would have prevented a five page thread mind.

    The info was available, however in a general section about Home tickets, rather than one specific to the individual game. Not very hard to find!

    The club have picked up on the suggestion.

    There is a cash turnstile for away fans. This discussion is for home fans. No cash turnstiles in the home end

    We haven't had them for a few years. You just have to go to the ticket office and get a ticket before going to the turnstile
