Fully understand the sentiment but I don't think if we got relegated last season anyone would be blaming the fact our season tickets weren't solely online.

It's a slippery slope that I hope we don't go down. The latest terminology ive heard regarding event tickets is "fulfilment fees" being charged for digital or print at home tickets. Its just another way to squeeze more money from the customer IMO.

Re: Season ticket collection
I should have frased that better, people constantly challenge any kind of change whether it's selection of clothing, shirts, the outcry when we went cashless, to become sustainable we have to accept that we're a small club and every penny counts if a certain individual left we'd be f*****d so we all have to be realistic!_bluebird_ wrote: ↑Sat Jul 19, 2025 1:23 pmFully understand the sentiment but I don't think if we got relegated last season anyone would be blaming the fact our season tickets weren't solely online.

Re: Season ticket collection
If I'm spending the best part of £800 on season tickets, I want a season ticket in my hand not just a QR code on my phone. Choice for both options should always be available which seems to be the case.

Re: Season ticket collection
The choice is apparently available for season ticket holders at Barrow without cost at present but if you want 'extras', irrespective of the base price, whether at an airline, ice cream parlour or exhibition, then it is at an extra cost to the supplier and has to be paid for, either by spreading that cost or requiring the person choosing the extra to pay a supplement.
(And waffle cones just aren't worth the extra cost.)

Re: Season ticket collection
When did a physical season ticket become an extra? Absolutely standard in my eyes. Only becoming an 'extra' because it's cheaper not to produce one.
Re: Season ticket collection
Each to their own, personally use an apple wallet for my season ticket, much easier scanning my phone rather than carrying more plastic around.

Re: Season ticket collection
So how are the club supposed to know who wants a physical card or who doesn't? I personally want one because there is always a chance you can get trouble with your phone and may not be able to access it. So how do I request this, do I have to go up to the club shop and express this or can I request one via the app?

Re: Season ticket collection
It is in my eyes too. Sadly it will eventually be a thing of the past. The days of collecting and keeping tickets be it season tickets or event tickets of attended events will become no more.

Thanks for the email.
Yes, this is partially true.
As we print them out every season we’ve found more and more people not collecting them and now we have an official fan app for your phone where you can store your Season Ticket.
So we are going to print the cards for those that what one then still what the physical card.

I wasn't given the option of a physical ticket when I ordered mine, just stated it was an E ticket once i purchased.kenny lowe fan club wrote: ↑Sat Jul 19, 2025 5:31 pm So how are the club supposed to know who wants a physical card or who doesn't?

Re: Season ticket collection
That's not really answered my question. So if I go in the club shop this week will they physically print the ticket card while I'm there?blue nige wrote: ↑Sat Jul 19, 2025 5:46 pmHi Tony,kenny lowe fan club wrote: ↑Sat Jul 19, 2025 5:31 pm So how are the club supposed to know who wants a physical card or who doesn't?
