Title: Wrexham tickets
Post by: Hugh on October 04, 2022, 08:51:29 PM
Nice to see that only people who have a printer or smart phone can attend Wrexham (or find someone with one to purchase on their behalf). Then again, I suppose Wrexham can afford to as they will still sell out. As for me, I'd rather go to Maidenhead any day. And no sniping comments, please. Alty for all!

Wrexham tickets are 21 quid. You can buy a printer for 30 quid..

I notice they only give 1200 tickets. Personally, I'd do the same here.

Smart phones and printers sound like something from the 21st century. I'm going to watch Tomorrow's World and see if I can learn anything about them.

There’s also a robot voice you can have in your car that directs you to your destination. Sounds a bit far fetched to me.

We had that in 1971!

Are digital watches still available (just a watch, not those that perform CPR on you or tell you that you need to take a rennie).

For some reason I always wanted a teasmade for Christmas

Quite. Why should I bother with clubs who make life difficult for me, among others (and that includes Halifax!)? It just encourages them.

Don't forget that people for whom this may be an issue are disproportionately from certain groups. I repeat - Alty for all!

Finally managed to get a couple of tickets. Let’s hope that gormless steward isn’t working in the area where we sit this time..

And the 'thanks for being a fan of (enter club name) FC' email. Winds me up.

*checks google* Oh there are places that offer printing in Alty, excellent. No man left behind.

You can probably fax Wrexham a letter of complaint while you are there.

First law of marketing. Make it as easy as possible for the customer to spend their money. Some of us get very, very frustrated at how hard it can be simply to order an item and then pay for it. It is 2022, agreed, so buying something should be straightforward. So often it isn't.

I think in the defence of Wrexham; the only other option would be to sell it via Alty FC, they sell out most weeks and they can't afford home fans getting in an away end.

Thought we weren't going to be in the lower tier after problems on previous visits? Or does separation make that impossible.
I think, as has been said elsewhere, we really should reconsider allowing visiting fans to have some of the pop side. The loss of money can't be that critical?

Thanks for your snipe! :)

The point is, it is extra hassle, even if I do have a printer. Printing stuff off is what people do when they go to work, not for fun.

This sort of thing (plus what happened at Halifax) 100% excludes people, particularly from certain groups. I repeat, Alty for all. And do try and come up with something actually useful, I know you're capable of it.

"Wrexham wreck 'em!"

Headline after Wrexham beat Arsenal in 1992 ("the magic little man").

Incidentally, Wrexham should've gone down the season before.

I think the way their Main Stand is segregated you get either just the bottom tier or both tiers, depending on how many fans you’ll likely bring. Both tiers means 1250 tickets which let’s get honest we’d get nowhere near at the moment. I could see us if doing very well taking ooh 800ish for a daytime kick off but at the moment just the lower tier seems fair.
