    No what has happened is, BCAFC under the clowns running the show have decided that now is a good time to install a new untested ticketing system just prior to season ticket sales. In addition nearly two weeks after it was setup they haven't allocated any City/Loyalty Points to anyone's account which seems to be the reason why an away game less than two week away is still not on sale, when the same away game tickets for Wrexham's visit to Grimsby were on sale a full month before the game.

    If they have an issue with people buying a using junior tickets then that's on the people on the turnstiles who aren't checking on the people coming in.

    I thought Mick was still there. Still if there is a job in the ticket office available I'm sure having experience in collect shopping trollies will probably push you up the list in getting the job. After all Twitter experience gets you the role as CEO.

    Tickets for Grimsby and Salford on sale now.

    Good luck if you want to buy tickets for someone under 13 for Salford or if you want to sit down. Loyalty points appear to be under the trade secrets act these days as they aren't visible to check if you can actually buy tickets.

    There is going to be plenty of headaches over buying tickets together on this....

    Yep, only four age categories showing on eticketing even though the article suggests otherwise

    Do they actually do any testing before going live with stuff?

    No seating tickets at all.

    My daughter is managed by my account yet I can only select 1 ticket to purchase.

    I'm not going anyhow but I was interested to see this shitshow first hand.

    How many people have worked out you have to select each ticket one by one, assign it and go back and add another rather than just selecting 2 or 3 and simply assigning them on the next page.

    In our CEO we trust.

    You are right, but I certainly don't blame the ticket office for the situation; I've always found them very helpful.

    From my brief conversation this morning, it sounds like they are having to deal with plenty of issues arising from the new system (which they have probably had no or very little say in).

    £1.50 booking fee per ticket and £1.50 postage fee per ticket.

    And yes, you would have thought they could be posted together but, with Ticketmaster, it's probably a Bantams Thing.

    Tranaction fee to cover banking costs
    facility fee covers web site cost
    service charge is the cost of the ticketing company

    at a guess. probably seperated as each bit will go to a seperate company, possibly owned by same company.

    Even though I am not renewing the family season tickets as it stands, I logged onto the new City Ticketmaster today.

    Logging in easy, finding the other family accounts easy. Three members of the family didn’t get an email asking for permission for me to manage their accounts, one did. There one that did got an email to herself from herself, not from me!
    I guess the others didn’t have the right email addresses associated but i should be able to fix that.

    I'm sure Sparks today will be bunkered down in his office with his phone on do not disturb hoping for a flash in the pan win next weekend so the gormless can come out and say "for the doubters".

    In reality he should be in a teams meeting with Rupp, and updating his CV whilst they agree to part ways. That isn't going to happen however even though now he has lost the support of those at the top end of the loyalty points ladder who were the only ones who could aquire tickets to Harrogate, which kind of rips in two the it's only the vocal minority who don't attend games who are giving Sparks a hard time.

    I understand there are still a few who clap along regardless. You can't change stupid, but at this stage they are a very minority voice.

    I've already mentioned it earlier in the thread but people are confusing Ticketmaster that deal with concerts etc and Ticketmaster Sport which deal with sport. They are rapidly growing in football, I would say they are at around 40% of the 92 clubs and they can only do this as they have a good product that has a good reputation within football. If they had a bad reputation like some other suppliers do then clubs wouldn't touch them. Whenever you introduce a new system there will be little issues for both the club and the fans as they get used to the new system.

    You are right, the official app still links to the old ticketing site.

    Another fail.

    My total City points have appeared on the new system.

    There is also an 'Account History' section where you can see your purchases and points awarded for each match.
