Mantis Toboggan Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Sorry to be a pain, but for my honours project I'm developing a system where lower league clubs in Scotland can purchase tickets online for games instead of paying at the gate. I've done a survey which would be a massive help if you could fill out, it won't take long to do. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/KT7DH55 There's a description of how it would work in the survey, but it would essentially work by paying online, getting an eticket emailed which would have a QR code. Thanks for filling it out if you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtgilphead Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 My immediate reaction would be against this proposal. My 2 main reasons were: 1) Expense of installing readers 2) Tickets should only be required for 'all-ticket' games. In those situations, most clubs offer priority schemes. How would this proposal address this matter? In addition, what safeguards would be in place to stop touts making bulk purchases of tickets for desirable matches?

itzdrk Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I would love to just buy tickets for the month's games when I get paid, but don't think it would be helpful to clubs, just as is with added costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely sure there's many touts targetting Scottish lower league football tbh. Even the most desirable of desirable matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Exactly. So wtf do we need to even think about instigating a ticketing system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipsy Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 What happens if you are out of town and decide at lunchtime that you want to go and see the local team? Would you still be able to pay at the gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Carton Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Done. This practice is standard at most events I attend, from concerts to lectures, and there's no reason why Scottish football should remain stuck with paper and coins. At the moment I'm not sure it's even possible to pay at the gate at Airdrie with a card, I've never seen anyone do it. And try telling a millenial "sorry, we only accept cash". As a benefit, it would reduce the amount of change float that clubs need to carry, as few charge a round 15 or 20 quid. Especially with few banks open on a Saturday to collect the float or deposit takings. Just another step to becoming a 21st century sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victormeldrew Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 This idea seems to be an unnecessary faf. Having at least one gate accepting contactless card payments might be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
