Ticketmaster have messed up many EFL clubs ticketing over the summer and they are supposed to be the experts.
We are not alone sadly

Does anyone else reckon that this whole ticketmaster cock up could have come about because the season started in august....
Just at the time there are bloody thousands of events in this country.... Theatre, festivals, gigs you name it, there are literally loads of them....

Its a split blame really, its ticketmasters fault for not getting the tickets out, but I do wonder why Rovers used a company which has such a poor reputation....

Thinking about it I guess most football clubs sort the problems out before August. I assume the market is fairly limited for this type of service.

To save costs From the outside looking in I’m not sure what major costs were being saved? For my ST I just paid my dues each year, kept the same card, and the card just worked at the turnstile. Assume this is true of all other ST holders. Leaving just the “ad-hoc” and new ST holders to be sorted. But happy to be corrected if I am missing something.

I assumed there were costs in house for administering it ,sounds like that was not the case so not sure what the reason was if it wasn't to save costs.

So still no news on how we will get into the ground to watch these fabulous alleged new signings…….maybe we should have a Madness tribute act instead of Queen.
Actually, thinking about it, a Night Boat To Cairo is looking a better prospect……..🛳😜 * off!

The Season Ticket book went, replaced with the card. Early on renewed in the shop, same card, worked fine. Recently renewed on-line, same card, still worked. Now? Hoping Ticketmaster haven't lost me email address so I can print off a bar code to get in. Progress eh?

Go back to the old days.
Sell tickets from the shop add £1 admin fee to cover costs.
Exeter had a mobile shop in the city centre selling tickets and merch. Why can't we do something similar??

Have just emailed TG telling him the club needs to issue a statement now, not in the next few days.

It's like a stranded ship wreck survivor. "Tuesday, still no sign of anyone or anything on the Horizon, I've resigned myself to coconuts and making friends with the resident Emu, whom, to be fair, is far more interesting than watching the Rovers at the moment. Thankfully I've got 5G so can pick up the results. And porn.".
