    Went down to collect our Season tickets today.

    Paid for 4, only 3 there!

    This was in the ‘Hub’ rather than the ticket office.

    I noticed that they had them stored alphabetically rather than in seat number/row/block.

    As there were three different surnames it was more confusing.

    Although the woman wrote the details down, I was concerned that someone else could have got the missing ticket and the club then said it had been collected.

    E-mailed Mick Lamb later, but have not heard anything.

    Thankfully it is not needed for Saturday as my friend is away.

    I noticed that another person was having a similar experience, although I think his were eventually located.

    Well, your residence in Lancashire must be having an effect. No Yorkshire person would be happy paying a few quid for nothing! On a serious point, I am happy to pay the asking price for the season ticket. As a matter of principle the club shouldn't be adding money on for a service not provided, even if it is incompetence rather than deliberate. The variety of different charges applied to just a handful of us suggests the software on the ticket system had or has some issues.

    Was it a junior ticket that was missing? They claimed my nephews ticket wasn’t there but were looking in the wrong pile even though my dad kept telling them it should be in the other pile

    It was a concession. They looked through all three categories. They told me the first names of other people with the same surname, but clearly it was not the relevant ticket. My worry is that they have given the ticket out to someone else, perhaps by mistake, but with a similar sounding first name. If they had them sorted by Stand/Block/Row/Seat number, perhaps there would be less confusion.

    Ours was for the suites upstairs. Apparently juniors were all together no matter which stand they were for, except the suites which had all the ticket together.

    Utter shambles

    20 years of Season Ticket holding and never experienced anything quite like it!

    I collected 5 last week, 3 different surnames and it took an age to find them. Never seen it as disorganised in all the years I've had a ticket.

    ..and you would think that the reduced take up this season would have eased things!

    No issues with mine. Two minutes to find and in a nice box. Happy days.

    But they have already seen how we intend to rectify. The squad has had a complete overhaul this summer with some poorly performing players leaving and some quality acquisitions arriving.

    If that doesn’t entice fans back, then leave them to wallow. They can always come back next season or bite the bullet now and pay keeper re for the ST or match day tickets

    Went twice in the first week to collect them but was faced with big queues, having read about the issues some were having i decided to leave it until a couple of days to go in the hope that the less season tickets to search through the easier it would be.. Im off tomorrow morning and expecting carnage still, reading this.
    I wonder what saturday will be like with people turning at kick off time to collect them

    In the past I when you bought your Season Tickets I use to have an actual Card ticket with all the details of the Season Tickets, which you handed in.

    This time it was turn up with your receipt, however I also brought last years Season Ticket with me.

    I think they use to have an envelope with all the tickets you had bought and just gave that to you.

    On this occasion they had several boxes and apparently the cards had been stored alphabetically and in different groupings.

    But would anyone buy? It would have to be attractive or fans simply wouldn’t buy.

    Last season you could buy 23 games for £149. You’re suggesting selling 12 games for £150. Makes little sense and fans simply wouldn’t buy. I expect the majority of those not renewing may attend 2-3 games only next season, so the ‘enticement’ has to be exactly that

    Went down this morning, no queue. Went to collect my season ticket which I purchased about 4 weeks ago and was told to go the ticket office to get a ticket for the Barnsley game as it was unlikely that my season ticket would arrive in time. So off I went to the ticket office only to be told that my season ticket should arrive by Friday and could collect it up to 3.00pm on Saturday. So if your in the same boat leave it until Friday or Saturday.

    Went down yesterday around 4:30. Took minutes to find my ST Card and then checked me off for the Parader membership. Came back out and ended up buying a home shirt and a £20 gift ‘card’. I got the 10% off my full purchase.

    Not sure why that was, but what is to stop people buying a £40 gift card (paying £36 for it) and then going back in to buy a replica shirt at £45 (getting 10% knocked off) and only having to pay an extra 50p? A replica shirt then costs just £36.50 instead of £45.
