Due to the farcical TicketMaster System taking off sales 4 days before a game and Bradford not allowing pay on the day despite only 400 tickets being sold out of 1200, I am unable to purchase any tickets for Bradford away. Does anybody have any spare or has been through similar situation and know what is best to do?

Oh, is this true? I assumed I could buy e-tickets up until Friday. If so, that’s
3 who can’t go now.

Even though I can’t make it Saturday myself, disappointing for others who can’t attend because tickets have been taken offline early. just wondering if it’s worth contacting Bradford & see if you can purchase away tickets directly from them & pick them up at their ticket office Saturday. |

Shame isn't it. I looked into this and they do not sell because we use Ticketmaster! |

Probably a silly question, but why do Ticketmaster stop sales so early? I thought it was all about convenience, print your own tickets, e-tickets on your mobile etc?

Another silly question, who's bright idea was it to even go close to Ticketmaster? A complete and utter sh1tfest of a Company and someone needs beating for our switch to them. |

Stupid. It’s a great stadium and you’d expect us to take 600-700. Guess there will be a fair few Gasheads sitting on their hands in the home areas then.

Gorringe I’d guess ? 🤷♂️ |

Ticketmaster are a rip off and a shambles, the person at our club who made the decision to use them is incompetent and negligent

I may be wrong but I assume our allocation is for Rovers to deal with and not Bradfords issue. If this is the way forward they may lose a fair few who cannot make commitments until closer to the date of the fixture if stopping sales 4 days early is the Ticketmaster way. There is nothing on the Rovers website saying there was a closing time for sales.
Wonder how many of our travelling support will be lost due to our contract with a company that raised a few eyebrows before the Season Ticket fiasco

Ticketmaster just isn’t suited for a lower league club like ourselves. It’s ok if I’m booking tickets to a big event weeks/months in advance but not as a primary source of purchasing tickets to a 4th division football match for the following week.

I thought you'd maybe made a mistake and I checked. Sad to say it's true. My apologies for doubting you. Surely it's a cockup? Can't think of any reason to stop sales. I seem to remember some entertainjng posts about the legendary curries up there, worthy of inclusion in "What's For Dinner?". |

There are many things at our club that Tom Gorringe has been negligent with. It seems to ma that there is little effort put in to make it easy to follow the Gas. It really is a shambles.

Really hacked off with this - another 3 lost ticket sales. Planned to meet up with my son who is studying near by. Confirmed things with him and my brother last night. Booked the hotel today - fortunately with free cancellation. Went to the club at lunchtime to buy tickets. Told that now they are only sold on-line. Went on-line this afternoon - match not available. Maybe our fault for leaving it late, but the Wednesday before the match is hardly leaving it to the last minute. Really, really, annoyed

Ticketmaster certainly is a shambles. I bought tickets for Oldham (home) and Bradford (away) with no problems. Went to get Harrogate (away) tickets and the transaction was declined multiple times with the message my debit/credit cards weren't registered to my Ticketmaster account name despite using the same debit/credit cards for the previous purchases. I eventually got the tickets by calling Claire at the Club ticket office.
