I don’t have a problem with the direction the club took with tickets this season but it’s off to an awful start. The online system sounds great but all I’ve seen is people having problems with getting their QR codes sorted. Add to that the people who won’t/can’t buy online or in advance and the club need to have their shit together on match days. It will hopefully get better but don’t pretend today wasn’t a bit of a farce. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Just now, Robbo63 said: What else could the club have done ? It was repeated numerous times on website and in local press especially in last 2 weeks That doesn't get away from the fact that a lot of fans wouldn't have known, now that more know, it will be interesting to see if it puts any off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly for one did not state it went well , I stated that everyone had learned a lesson today and that work needs to be done both by club and spectators to make next week more successful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 14th May official club website Twitter and Facebook , information that ayr United will be a ticket only entry system for season 2019/20 , also in local press , what other way could we have informed our support ? This was repeated a number of times since then also What more can the club do? We are all adults who can surely buy a ticket online, pop into the club shop at some point during the week or turn up in good time to buy a ticket before the game starts, hats off to the club staff if there was only a 10 min delay to kick off if that many people turned up without a ticket, the club acknowledged yesterday that their would most likely be teething issues and lessons would be learned from the first game, in a few weeks no one will be giving a care about tickets we will all be used to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you be shocked, everyone is not on social media, I only knew the Livi game was a ticket match due to P&B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay21 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I think the ticket issue is something that lessons have been learned and we need park it and concentrate on the football A good win today in end up , Falkirk are carrying a championship squad and at times looked dangerous , we competed well and deserved the win in the end up , not sure how it would have gone if they kept 11 on the pitch though , Doohan to thank for the penalty save and commanding box in last 5 mins when they played high crosses into box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont care now im just replying to folk who were saying i shouldve bought a ticket in advance when i didnt know if i would be able to get there to the last minute. I rush down to ayr and then find ive got to queue for 25 mins to get into a game with 1600 folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No queues no fuckups.Absolutely this. Those pretending that this is somehow a sensible plan are not thinking straight. We've made it harder for people to turn up and pay to watch the football. Literally nothing else needs to be said. (Although someone earlier compared it to going to an airport - genius - let's get folk to take their shoes and belts off as well)They better learn the lessons - as this was the most predictable thing in the fucking world. A queue snaking into the club shop and one desk? f**k sake. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly can't be fucked with it and Livi just confirmed that I'll not be breaking my neck to go to games, better things to do with my time than f**k about queuing or looking for codes on my phone or laptop.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Reckon Berwick just need a striker and they'd be fine, one that could score 7 or 8 goals a game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
