Town looking to modernise ticket issue at BP. Great news and I approve of these changes. I am a bit baffled as to why they seem to need approval from fans for these changes though. Do they have to justify spending the money on it?


I work in the music industry and use virutuly every major  ticketing company. They all charge fees, booking fees, service fees etc that are passed on to the customer. I read this as "would gtfc fans be happy paying a bit more in booking fees etc"   I am sure GTFC have this covered already but if anyone from the club wants any pointers on the best and worst, ones that offers best service and benefits etc, drop me a private message and id be more than happy to pass on advice etc.

What if you haven't got a printer?


Then you can either buy one or go to the ticket office to buy one. I think it it's great the club are looking a modernising ticketing. There have been any occasions tickets have been released in the week before the game, but I've been at work so it's been a game. If you can make it easier for your customers, especially if you are reducing costs then it can only be a good thing.

Most of the e tickets from the decent ticketing company's will scan from your phone to, so no need to print out.

Not at all. Obvs if you have a nokia 3210 it aint gonna work.  but any smartphone, even the basic ones work. I sell hundreds of thousands of tickets a year and encounter very few issues with e tickets.

To clarify, I have no problem modernising the ticketing process just how it's implemented and I'm not quite sure how you can put customer costs up when, essentially, the product hasn't changed.

this depends on which company the club end up using, because some will charge for this. But most of the better ones offer a "collection at box office" option that has no added cost.

Anything that makes it easy to pay in advance and not have to queue up on the day has to be a good idea. As long as supporters who prefer traditional means aren't overlooked.

For something that could save quite a bit of time and work for the admin. department to ask the fans to pay for it is balderdash in my opinion.

Suppose it depends on how much they charge.
