Ticketing modernisation

Quoted from pen penfras

At the end of the day, it's a free ticket, if you don't like the club's terms then you can always buy one.

Spoken like a true accountant 🙄

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I think you already know who it is.

Shut up!

Quoted from pen penfras

No, I just try to look at things from both sides and since there's enough negativity on here, I post the other side. I try to view things in life from both points of view, whereas a few on here just moan about everything without even thinking about why it is that way. Sure, it could be better and hopefully awareness of these issues will result in changes in policy for the better.

Sums it all up really. Absolutely zero instinct in what a football club needs to be progressive or engaging with the fanbase. Also a club employee approaches about 20 regular posters on the GTFC hashtag re digital ticketing. 20, and why did he have to? Where is the courage of conviction, nous and decisiveness for the greater good of the football club? And the Ancient Mariner debacle. It's insanity that the people who run our football club run our football club. And it's insanity that they get all indignant and huffy because they think they're doing a great job. Absolute fooking denial while the remains of our loyal supporter's hearts bleed for our club, seethe to the point of their heads nearly exploding or quietly comtemplate walking away like thousands of others have done before them.

Pen Penfras, there isn't a positive side to put forward re the past twenty years. How the hell can't you see it? It'll be another season of nothingness off the pitch and probably similar on the pitch too and we'll be here this time next year with our board still failing to look past their over-inflated egos to see the damage they are doing. We've turned into a proper Barnstoneworth tinpot club run by a bunch of unqualified muppets..

Shut up!

Don’t you know who I am!

I think the worst thing about this is that GTFC can't (won't) guarantee that the old fella can sit next to his lad and that he has to leg it to BP every time not knowing where he will be sitting.

No one disputes that a free ticket for every home game is a great offer rightly given to senior supporters in recognition for their years of support and quite a surprise frankly for GTFC to give anything away.

It just seems sad that the old fella may not take them up on their kind gesture as two major obstacles appear to be in place.

A cynic might suspect that the club to not want to allocate the particular seat (like a ST) for every game in case the old chap can't attend them all through health, age or whatever and they hope to actually sell a ST for that seat at full price to someone

Look, this is typical GTFC. Turn something positive into a negative by not thinking things through.

Giving a free season ticket to the over 85s is a really nice idea. But why make it so fricking difficult? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

It sounds like the club wants to make it difficult and make people suffer for the privilege. The average 85 year old in the Grimsby area has probably given so much to the club, the town and the businesses within it, they should be shown more respect.

And there you have it. ...why don't just tell us to "shut up" and not point out the obvious flaws that run right through our club, mainly being driven by those up top...

its a nice gesture already from the club....does anybody know how many other clubs offer a free ticket for over 85's ?

while this is only one instance of complaint about how it fits with one person the club shouldnt ignore it ...the club now need to cherish the complaint because its an opportunity to improve its customer service.

do they look at making an exception in this case ?  do they review the scheme ?  do they stick to the party line as there is an opportunity for abuse ? do they seize the opportunity to turn it into PR exercise and make the fella a guest of honour one game ...or have an ancient mariners section in the programme featuring a different person each week ? First game, best memory etc...

As the club appear to be currently reviewing the ticket booking system then surely an ancient mariners members scheme or photo id card could be arranged as part of it ?
