Without wishing to hijack the thread, I had a similar problem at the SHuddersfield away game. As some of you may know they were doing a special deal for "the emergency services". The ad was offering tickets at £10 adults and £5 concessions, so I phoned them up and asked how many tickets I could legitimately purchase, and was initially told that it only applied to the emergency service member, however when I asked why they were advertising tickets for concessions too, the "youth" in question checked the ad, and then told me that there was nothing to say I couldn't purchase more than one ticket, so then agreed that I could purchase 4 adults and 2 kids tickets, and that there was no need to pre-order them and that I could collect them on match day.
I duly phoned my brother in Knaresboro' and told him that I was able to purchase 4 discounted tickets, so they then agreed to come down as they weren't initially going to bother due to the cost involved.
On match day I went to the ticket office, and asked to purchase the agreed 6 tickets, only to be told that I could only purchase 1.
I again pointed out to the young lady on the desk the advert, and mentioned my phone call the day before, at which point she went away to seek clarification. She duly returned and confirmed that I could only purchase 1 ticket. I then asked why the ad included concessions, only to be told that it could apply to someone who is 60. I asked her how many 60 year old firefighters/ambulance drivers/police officers she knew, but she couldn't answer. Suffice to say that my brother and his family had to fork out money which they could not really afford, having been promised discounted tickets.
I have e-mailed SHudds, but have basically been called a liar, as "my version of events differs from the office staff" and they have since refused to answer my valid query to explain the situation !!

Didn't know that one - just as well I didn't bank on one of those tickets from you myself then!

Shut up thats a disgrace what they did to him. 50% refund is pathetic just shows we have no bloody money.

Shame really given the size of our 'core' support. You would expect a full refund upon producing the season ticket.

Still better than a few years ago when someone forgot their ticket for the second or third game of the season went to the shop and rather than take down any details just gave him another full season ticket no questions asked!

Thought I had mentioned it to you...obviously not, but have posted the thread on the Hudds forum too (can't call them SHUDDS as someone on there found it offensive



), and there have been some interesting responses (albeit from fans rather than the club !!)

Just to add some fuel to your fire, I rang and ordered 2 of these tickets for me and my dh (we do both work for the emergency services) I paid in advance and collected on the day. I/we were not asked for any Id or our passes! if they do the offer again, make sure you buy them in advance to save this problem !

oh your soooooooooooooo starting to bore me!

would you like me to purchase you a season ticket for another club under the strict understanding you bog off to their boards?

rose tinted specs.....next

Club cant afford to lose hardcore fans, and ive never read any interesting post from the 'chapster'. How many posts that create debate have you made?

you and ngb4c need a room!

and please god dont let that video get leaked on to the net.

See you've come crawling back to the 'losers' since they won a couple of games. Do you count yourself as one of the hard core?

Yes, next question

what you insinuating?

I have a season ticket and I couldn't get to the Cas game as I was on holiday - I still have my ticket so can I get half / all my money back if I pretend I went and paid to get in ?

yeah your right ........i suggested you and ngb4c were total berks.......no debate at all.

the debate on this thred was about bad consumer management, you learned friend ngbfc came in with the oh thats cos we are short of cash bit, i offered to find him another club and "Quelle surprise" your online and rufling his pillows!

do not disturb sign on door boys!

although obviously trying to wind everybody up.....it's a perfectly good point.

you can exchange it for an extra ticket at another game, never had problem in shop always been accomodating. Suppose im a hardcore fan tho so they know me.

Maybe one day they will see you as an important fan like me.

your not important.....your special, and we like you, and wont let you get hurt, by hard metal things or pointy things.

and thats a lovely drawing of your friend....whats his name???

errm how do I get to be a hardcore fan? Do I have to supply photos?

It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

just turn up every week

sorry im not sure what your insinuating?

and more importantly you cant remember when you have posted this before!
its so sad when memory loss take over isnt it?

ask nurse if it time for snuggles? eh? you know its best. ngbfc isnt showing off is he?

I don't think this thread is going anywhere nice.

Say bye bye!
