    Our current contract with the current provider was expiring at the end of the season anyway but they decided to pull out of sport at the start of the season, they would honour contracts if clubs wanted to and continue to provide support but clubs were free to leave anytime so probably best to get it started now rather than in the summer with the Forest Green game a perfect game to launch the system.

    You can imagine it now if it's anything like how Ticketmaster sell tickets at major music events ..

    Step 1 Log on to Ticketmaster moments after the season tickets have gone on sale

    Step 2 Wait a few minutes whilst accessing the City ST section

    Step 3 Find my seats and click on Buy

    Step 4 Advised by TM that "Due to unexpected huge demand my seats are no longer available"

    Step 5 "Don't worry" say TM "We will now transfer you to our sister company where the tickets may be available"

    Step 6 Transferred to WearenotTMResellers.com to find my seats at twice the original price.

    Step 7 Begrudginly accept it!

    Many will now say there is no way there will be a huge demand for our STs and that will probably be correct. TM will simply find another way to extract more money from our pockets!

    Hmmm, I don’t think I’d be alone in kicking the doors down at the ticket office. Trust me there wouldn’t be any comedy.

    We all know this won't go smoothly good job there's other distractions like the atmosphere section and general team selection coupled with poor performances to deflect the heat off the pending ticket gate wouldn't have it any other way that's how it rolls at BD8.
    Sorry I forgot to mention the ongoing weight debate regarding star striker Andy Cook.

    It looks like it's only the template website at the moment set up by Ticketmaster so probably our details won't be registered on the server yet. Looking at the links at the bottom are generic text so that's all still to be filled out like the page for the fees still has £x.xx https://www.eticketing.co.uk/bradfordcityafc/Common/CustomerNotice/TicketingInformationAndFees

    I'm not activating anything knowing our lot I might launch a nuke if I press a button.
    I'll await clear and precise instructions before taking the plunge.

    wow! i knew our fans liked a moan, but this is amazing, Not even started yet and people are whingeing.
    If the old provider has packed in with sport, then surely it makes sense to go with the largest provider to sports clubs.
    And surely a good idea to try it now, before the sale of season tickets.
    Like all things, i will reserve judgement until i see it in action.

    Andy my comments are very much tongue in cheek I've had years and years of practice with everything from tickets going missing in the post to been sold a seat in the Midland Road covered with a segregation sheet ,the latest fiasco being sold a ticket in the TL Dallas stand only to find out the stand wasn't open against Doncaster on the night.
    I'm living proof things needed to change believe me.

    Well hopefully this is a change for better, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating, as the saying goes.

    I think some of the concerns come from that we've been with the current provider for a long time so people don't necessarily understand how a switch in provider would work. The bigger misunderstanding will be that people have seen Ticketmaster and naturally think of when they've got concert tickets through Ticketmaster rather than what this is which is their Sport section of the company which are specialists in working with sports clubs. In terms of the process getting a ticket it will be basically the same rather than going through Ticketmaster which some thought we might, also their fees for sports clubs are much lower than for concerts. If Ticketmaster Sport was as bad as people feared then they wouldn't have the number of clubs that they do. Most, if not all, of that should be cleared up when the website is officially launched.

    My moan is based on previous experience with Ticketmaster, if the sporting arm is better and there’s no detriment to the fans then all good with me!

    I reckon a 5quid a ticket fee. Per ticket, not transaction. Could get interesting.

    Does anyone know which other EFL clubs use Ticketmaster and what transaction fee gets added to tickets?

    I actually like the idea of having the tickets on my phone in my Apple Wallet which seems to be a possibility judging by the article. Now if we can scan our own QR codes upon entry into VP then even better. In the 21st century at last.
