Will be interesting to see if this moving of platform to Ticketmaster creates the usual shitshow we've been treated to in the past.
Migration is in progress but as it stands all sale history and loyalty points are not showing. Tickets are only available for Tuesday nights game as it stands.
You'd have thought mid season wasn't the best time to push a new system out there but we seem to have a CEO who knows what he is doing.....

Shifting the 'atmosphere section' to the lower Kop is bringing out all kinds of Nimbys... 'we want atmosphere, but not if I can hear it...'
Even if it's a hand holding of a sort, it's a good decision by the club. Having the section as far away from the pitch and away fans has never worked.
Someone has just been complaining on twitter about trying to find 6 seats together because of it. Yes, in a stadium that's sold out once in 25 years I'm sure you'll struggle to find seats.

I've just looked and you can buy six seats together right now in every single block of the kop. There will be even more available after the early bird renewal period ends so they can transfer to probably anywhere they want. What this proves is for so many of our fans, actually watching the match/willing us to win and be successful really isn't a priority. Coming to football is a comfort blanket to them, and sitting near the folk they've always sat near is such a big deal that they won't renew because of it. Football is about ritual and habit, but fuck me thats mental.

'It's mine, it's always been mine, don't you dare take it away from me'... then react like a child with extreme autism. Ever see the original Dawn of the Dead? There was one part where the zombies are wandering around the mall, and one survivor says: "They're after us. They know we're still in here." The other replies: "They're after the place. They don't know why; they just remember. Remember that they want to be in here." Like our fanbase.

I'm sure our CEO had the A & B Block bantams covered. I'm sure he personally e-mailed, wrote, spoke, made aware of everyone in that block that they could move without charge and gave them say a £20 voucher for the club shop to keep them sweet.
I mean our CEO wouldn't just drop this on them unannounced without warning and just hoped it would sort itself out....

You mean a politely worded letter/ email to effected seat holders stating the club’s plans, that unfortunately some fans may be asked relocate elsewhere in the ground if they choose not to remain in the ‘atmosphere’ section, in which case the club will do all it can to assist them and find alternative seating. Get out of here. Now just watch the club cave in to the myopic facebook fannies and morality police, and be forced into another embarrassing climbdown.

Not that it will be difficult to obtain tickets as no bugger wants to go these days but here we are, 10/11 days or so since the new ticketing system went live. You can't buy a ticket for Good Friday's game, no details of tickets for Grimsby are available with two weeks to the game and any loyalty points issued have disappeared into thin air.
Aren't you happy we have a CEO that really has their finger on the button and everything working as intended.

The gift that keeps on giving Is that because the system is broken or is that because the only people who’d pay good money to see us get dry-bummed at Grimsby really belong in Lynfield Mount?

Another Sparks Masterclass in running a football club. Untried and tested system put out there turns into a shitshow on the back of his decision and his photoshoot oportunity. Meanwhile the ticket office take all the slack for something they had no input in. Still in the current climate it's not like they are busy deadling with Season ticket sales so every cloud.... I see people are kicking off regarding the atmosphere stand, it seems no one in Block B has had any communication from the club regarding that area becoming the atmosphere stand and it also appears the NW corner stand is actually closing for next season meaning everyone else there is being kicked out too. Go Communication!!

Its broken. I don't have anywhere near 2100 points but it let me put tickets for Grimsby in my basket. I didn't buy them obviously, I'm not a complete idiot.

Go Communication!! Yeah saw Dave Pendleton saying his brother has been in B Block in the same seat since the Kop opened, has emailed the club but not had any response. Imagine what its like working at the club, young lads and lasses on minimum wage with no one to guide them or make decisions. Even if they wanted to provide a good service they can't because there is clearly zero leadership at any level in the organisation.

Even if they wanted to provide a good service they can't because there is clearly zero leadership at any level in the organisation. Sparks is running away from everything. Ostrich syndrome, Hitler in the bunker, whatever you want to call it. Just avoid things and hope they sorts itself or goes away on their own. Or hope another partnership opportunity comes to gloss over what's happeneing in another department. Not that every request literally goes to Sparks, but it's symptomatic of the whole communication, leadership and management going on at the club. Ever since his ITV and Radio Leeds interviews, he's gone completely cold. 'Stay in the league and don't go bust' was the catalyst, the complete lack of empathy in light of the price increase for ST and season falling apart has made it worse. At a time when good communication and leadership is needed more than ever, the CEO - who doesn't seem to want or thinks he needs any help - just vanishes. As an employee you need management to be visible and available, but you see how they treat the fans and media, so can probably assume how they treat staff isn't much better. I bet it's a truly awful place to work, probably worse than when Rahic was micromanaging everyone.

The top boss hiding away and people down the food chain getting it in the neck is not a good thing. So glad I no longer work in such an environment.
