Absolutely appalling behaviour. The club need to work hard to bring people back into the fold. I've been harping on about this for 2yrs (only a few months on here right enough) This Super Ayr Dream only comes together when the town(shire) gets right behind the club and attendances flourish.... You're not supporting or building this dream with 2k home support and a minted hospitality) above mentioned behaviour, is exactly where they are falling short! I'm 40 and f**k buying digital tics etc... I've got enough passwords to remember and far to many apps on my phone as is Absolutely mate... Heard it from a mate at work.... I will try and find out this mans name and email the club if I get it and see if they can maybe sort him out a wee free ticket and wee nice letter........ Or something as that made me feel shite just hearing that... Wish had of saw him outside and would of helped him.... There is alot of older people that don't go anymore... My dad for one.... I have to sort out our tickets for most games as all this online shite just puts him off... Only goes when I sort it out.... Needs addressed ASAP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the club needs to have a consistent approach. Until now physical tickets have been available until kick off, and I don't see why that shouldn't continue.. I'm glad they saw sense last night, but they (and every other club) needs to take into account that not everyone has the digital skills, or perhaps in some cases, the literacy to buy online.. And it isn't necessarily convenient to go to the club shop during opening hours. There are also people who decide at just about the last minute to go to match. We can't afford to turn them away. Don't see this so much as a moan, I'm trying to be a critical friend. Edited July 17 by RedEd 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC 1910 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) I don’t understand why a 6 o’clock curfew would be announced / implemented but then change their mind due to people turning up. Why not just make tickets available from the kiosk up until kick off? I don’t see the downside of it? Happy to stand corrected if there is a genuine reason, but to then have a last minute change does seem a bit tinpot. It can sometimes be the little things, the marginal changes that can see us move forward or stand still. We are all basking in the glory of the praise of the big things happening at Somerset and rightly so, but already we have come across as not being able to handle a big crowd, or proper toilets, or food inside the ground (Celtic and Killie games). If we are to try and grow the attendance at Somerset, then surely we need to pull every lever possible to do so - not go in reverse.

You are 100% correct and I believe that steps have been taken to get paper tickets available and looks like it’s going to land very soon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it comes down to communication... after two social media posts stating there would be no ticket sales after 5/6pm, there was infact ticket sales available. I know a few people, who watched the stream for free last night on firesticks, because they don't finish work until round about K.O. and don't know if they'll get finished on time, until finish time. It could very well be true that people turned up for a pre game pint and other fans informed them, that there was NO in person ticket sales after 6pm. Because that's what everyone was told, twice yesterday, over all social media outlets I believe. Anyways... still buzzing after that win last night Edited July 17 by F.T.O.F.1910 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
