Shame they can't do it with away tickets as well but being a ST holder it gonna be req'd that much by me. Having said that though will try it for Spuds game. I noticed no booking fees for print at home also.

Really good idea for when buying last minute as I have done in the past, but I just love keeping ticket stubs too much.

How about a piece of plastic for all tickets home and away ? You could use it to purchase online, over the phone or call into the ticket office where it would be swiped.  If all clubs used such a system it could be used right up to kick off without queuing at ticket offices, you could purchase a seat outside the turnstile on your phone if necessary.
With technology as it is there should really be no need for clubs wondering whether to take a full or part allocation of away tickets these days either. For example, a club is allowed a 3,000 allocation but as they feel they will only sell 2,000 they have to make a decision. Presently they may take half meaning some of their away fans miss out or they take the lot resulting in a 1,000 empty seats while the rest of the ground is full. If all clubs had a uniform linked system, seats could be sold either side in the last few days thus closing up together until you have the usual gap wherever it stops.

And segregation?

Thats what I am saying. If both clubs are linked into the same system then seats are sold column by column on either side until the segregated area is determined by sales on either side.

I want my £2 back for buying cup tickets when it clearly states:

Booking Fee Information

Rememeber that there will be now be no booking fee applicable for this fixture if purchased online. However, if you purchase tickets for any other fixture/event within the same transaction, the £2 online booking fee WILL be applaicable

Yes those spelling mistakes are there. Anyone else get charged for their online purchase?

Segregation isn't just about seats. It's also turnstiles, toilets, catering and exits. You can't sell blocks of seats to home fans if that means they're impinging into the facilities for away.

They should take away segregation. It would stop the weekend hardmen giving it the big one behind a blole in a yellow jacket.
