Having previously emailed the club about registering my family members, I went to the ground to do so. I have always bought for family members so they don’t have a purchase history. On arriving I was told that even registering them, they wouldn’t be able to purchase a ticket on Monday, for the game next Friday.
So anyone in the same position as me, and you’ve always bought tickets for family, or someone wanting to go for the first time, I wouldn’t bother. There will be no new fans there then either because of this. And I really can’t see it being a sell out
-
Mmmmm bit of an arse all the ticketing stuff but if you're a regular just register and then you're on the system at least. My 2 lads been on there for years and have never lived in Donny. Buy the odd ticket here and there on their accounts so there's some transactions going through. Its worth 5 minutes for times like these when the seats are on sale on Monday to everyone.
-
Surely a Doncaster postcode should suffice.
The city isn’t overflowing with Crewe Alexandra fans!
-
Surely to god this cannot be right!
-
It is right.
I’m obviously on, been on for years, my daughter had a season ticket at 2 and she’s now 16. But every time we go, I pay for the tickets. Never realised this would happen.
Me and one daughter could go, but don’t want to go without the other 2 and my grandson.
-
So if you have 2 season tickets surely you can get 2 more tickets
-
It's ridiculous tbh, they need to rethink that.
-
No sorry, we don’t have a season ticket this season. 2 of us have previously, and are both on the system, but other relatives who I’ve bought for are not. First match of season I bought 9, and 7 are not on the system.We brought ID for them to register today, but was told that would make no difference for this match. PURCHASE HISTORY ONLY
-
I thought nowadays you had to register a ticket to a person rather than having them on your own account?
Purchase history with the club will cover anyone who's ever bought a ticket since we moved to the Keepmoat so I'd be surprised if there are too many people this impacts but equally the club shouldn't be deterring new fans when it is unlikely Crewe will sell their allocation anyway.
-
Website doesn't say you're limited to 1 ticket per person with purchase history. I've always been able to put 2 or 3 in the basket previously for any chum who wants to come along. Maybe due to high demand this time it might be limited but it doesn't say so
-
If you are on the system, not a STH
but, go to games regularly like myself and my family, you SHOULD get at least a day to get yourselves a ticket before they go out to people wanting to jump on the bandwagon. There should definitely be a points system for that.
-
I haven't been to the KM for a while - my Mum died 18 months back and she was my excuse - Apparently I'm not on the system now. Sad.

Didn’t the club do this for the Everton cup game and then realise their error? Have no lessons been learned?
-
The shadow board need to raise this. Pathetic from the club.
-
I bought 5 tickets for the Barrow game. All on my name, on my phone. My daughter who had taken her ID today checked, and she had no purchase history. Even tho she has been to Cardiff and Wembley and many games since.
But no worries, things like this leave a bad taste.
But as I said previously she did say NO PURCHASE HISTORY NO TICKET. She did say it may be different for Wembley should we get there. I think they must think next Friday will be a sell out.

You definitely need to register people for away ticket purchases - for Wimbledon away I went with 7 or 8 people who’d never been before (or certainly not for years) and we had to register them all. Perhaps it’s different for home games.
-
It is different for home games, I’ve bought loads of tickets for different people for home games this season and they’ve all been in my name. The website hasn’t made me assign them to different names.
So it looks like they’ll be people that have been to games all season that the club will exclude from buying tickets.
-
Surely any tickets not sold after 7 May will be open to anyone with a DN postcode...?
-
I don’t even know why a DN postcode would be needed. Do Man U only sell tickets to people with a Manchester postcode? For a club that never sells out its stadium we seem to be obsessed with trying to put barriers in place to people wanting to come.
-
And the club wonders why we average only 6000 homes at best. We don't deserve more support when the club makes these decisions. But the fan base deserve's way more.
We are playing Crewe Alexandra for goodness sake. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
-
SM can this be looked into please as I’m in the same boat re picking tickets up for others.
How are we expected to sell the place out of this is in place?
If it was a local derby I’d understand but not Crewe

I had nothing since the Crystal Palace fa cup round until my season ticket this season.
On top of that all my history dating back to when the keepmoat opened is still there from when I went all the time.
-
Personally if you yourself have a purchase history where it shows you regularly purchase extra tickets then you should be again allowed to buy that number.
I usually purchase 3, 1 for me and 2 for daughters. So why shouldnt i be allowed to again purchase that amount? It is what i usually do. But luckily i have registered their names before and put tickets in their names so i will be ok on that score, i think.
But it isnt fair on those that have always just buy them in their name only

of all the away games to take newbies lol

My wife has a customer number linked to my account, she’s never watched Rovers in her life but has purchase history for concerts held at the Stadium in the past
-
There definitely gunna be fun and games when the general sale opens up….
-
They should just loosen it a bit. We won't sell out and this is a huge opportunity to get new fans onboard.
-
Buy tickets on the day. Sorted.
-
The shadow board need to raise this. Pathetic from the club.
It’s an operational issue, not really Shadow Board material.

Any idea if ticket office is open on the day for walk ups Martin?
-

What is your problem?
How anyone can be negative about our club at this time is beyond belief.
Mind you, there’s always at least one pathetic individual who comes out of the woodwork.
-

Issue or Decision? because if its a decision, isn't the shadow board there to question decisions made by the football club and hold the club to account.

So it looks like they’ll be people that have been to games all season that the club will exclude from buying tickets.
But aren't you just making an assumption? Why is everyone assuming you won't be able to do the same again and buy X extra tickets this time in the same way you have for other home games. You've got the purchase history, you buy the tickets but it doesn't say you're only limited to one
-
What completely f*cks me off about all of this is.... there will be many genuine Rovers fans who have not purchased season tickets or not had the funds to purchase one who miss out on the game. Same as the away leg and there will be boat loads sat in that stadium who wouldn't give a toss if we get hammered. Many who don't even follow the club until they fancied an excuse to get on the p!ss act like they are part of the occasion. My plee to any season ticket holder would be to not waste the extra ticket and give it to a real supporter who deserves to be sat in the stadium.

And how do you determine what a ‘real’ supporter is?

Well lets put it this way.... if I had the opportunity to buy an extra ticket knowing they are selling fast, I would 100% offer it to somebody that I know has been to a lot of games. Its not rocket science is it!
-
DN postcode would have been fine. In fact they've done this for Leeds which the town is full of, but not for a match against Crewe. Probably worth giving Crewe all the away end now
-
Do they reserve a seat if you have a ten game multi ticket like they do with season tickets?
-
The antics of the last couple of days underline yet again that Rovers desperately, desperately need a new Chief Executive.

Oh it’s that time again

Over the years I have bought tickets and season tickets for relatives and friends in Bradford. For some reason one granddaughter is not on record despite being in Junior Rovers and having at least two season tickets in the past. It does seem a bit strange.

We are playing Crewe Alexandra for goodness sake. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
Whatever ticket issue there is with this play-off game isnt the reason we average 6000.
There hasnt been this issue during the last 2 seasons buying tickets so why has that kept some fans away?
Yes the club want new fans, but they would also not like fans who have been coming throughout the season to also miss out.

Anyone still there after that fourth goal went in away at Morecambe the other year after being three up.
-
If this is true, how’s it different from season ticket holders buying 2 and then giving the spare away to a mate that’s not got a PH? It’s the same principle.
Just buy 4 when they go on general sale in your name. Don’t see the issue

Someone's got a bee in their bonnet this morning.

If that’s aimed at me, fine. I’m just fed up of the utter drivel being spouted since the end of last Saturday. Grown adults whining repeatedly. People need to get a grip

Maybe you need to step away from the Internet for a few days if its bothering you that much.

What a pathetic statement
-

I think it’s bothering you more than me. I just find it all a bit cringe really.

OK Col, what ever.

Not much to have a moan about for the last couple of months, but well done you’ve managed to find something in your desparation

My dad has bought our tickets in person (he's old school :D) for the last few years, but i have a purchase history in my own name dating back to 2006 so anyone who has bought a ticket in that time should be ok.
I'm planning on buying a supporter membership today to ensure I get tickets where I want them, surely that will work?

It did work. Me and my Dad both have purchase history, and to get access to the tickets we want, today, I've signed us both up for Supporter Membership. Also signed my lad up for Young Reds Membership as we've never bothered assigning a ticket to him before so he had no purchase history or membership. Just bought us all a ticket each.

I have to admit that not being in the SS was a right let down. It’s where me and andy always sit and it was like watching a party from across the street.
I am not a ST holder but travel home and away but being an exile is a barrier.
It is what it is I guess.

There is certainly a chance that SS tickets go on sale on Monday. That would kind of cement the point that the system is a bit flawed. I’m sure if you can get hold of the ticket office they could swap your seat but that then brings extra issues for them.
-
What is flawed about the system, because ST seats are held to a certain date after which they go on general sale? Seems sensible enough to me
