The same problems for my friend, and I can't even log in.
it looks better than the old website but i think it is worse?

I used to have no problem with the old system buying child/OAP tickets.
But, yes it does look a little bit more flash
I haven't tried the new system. Do they still have a child and OAP option? I am guessing you are going fot student or a certain age group?

Yeah, I've been trying to get an OAP ticket for my Dad and I have NO idea how this ticketing system works for concessions. I'm not sure how it works normally? If I'm a registered user on the ticketing site, will my Dad require a membership no. for the site as well or can I just buy one for him? Will we have to go to shop for concessions, if so, does my old man have to be there to prove he's over 65!?

what is the point of a system only half the support can use?

I'm trying to buy an U21 ticket and a child ticket for my brother, but there's no price options. Just quantity, and then a checkout total which are for full price.
Seems ridiculous to me, they have an age group option on season tickets but not on normal tickets? Means I'll have to phone the club shop tomorrow who ALWAYS seem to have a problem with my card for some unknown reason.

They want to make sure that people don't abuse the system by buying cheap tickets online and sneaking through at the gates, but in turn they've made it impossible for half of us to get tickets online. Just get competent people on the turnstiles! :US:

I would imagine thatthey are wary of people buying discounted tickets online as there is no real proof that someone is under-21 or a child. Afterall, we don't have very hi-tech systems and with a limited amount of turnstiles, it would be up to the ticket person to judge and that would be near on impossible with a late rush. ID requests and so on... Something that will, presumably, be eradicated when we have our new ticket system at Falmer.

I don't see how buying them online would be any different to buying them over the phone, or even going to the ticket office? They all come down to handing them over to somebody at the gate anyway.

it is a flawed system as my post here Buying tickets on line - North Stand Chat points out.
I think I will wait for tickets on the ticket exchange. club looses out on a sale but i tried my best.
