Can ANYONE explain the removal of PRINT AT HOME option...

How many bronze members are there? I also assume that there's a requirement for Young Seagulls Plus members to be accompanied by adults so not sure how they can purchase anyway.
Just trying to gauge what the demand will really be from tomorrow until Monday.

How much does Barber get a year?

Not enough

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Surely 'booking fees' are only there to cover the actual cost of physically printing and posting out tickets?

No, booking fee is a charge to add straight to the bottom line.

Just your last few words made me think, I do hope those cards can still be used vs Arsenal for buying pies etc otherwise the catering will be carnage. Just means I have to take my paper ticket and my ST card which is even more frustrating.

No, you've highlighted a massive fail on your part. See website. For pies you need a 3D printer, you print you're pie, subject to availability, and bring it with you. You must also 3D print your seat, unless you are in 1901, in which case the club will supply 3D printers but you must bring your own ink.

I'm also using the iPiss app on my phone should I need to relieve myself after I've mixed all the components I need to bring from home to create a Summery drink!

I got a nice email from the club today called "PRINT AT HOME TICKET GUIDE"

Looks like the club are expecting problems at the turnstiles on matchday!

Same.

Email comes with a link to a handy video guide...

Not that the link works, mind. 'This web page is not available'

It's all a load of bollocks. A ticket purchase is logged in a database. It shouldn't matter what you do with it.

Print at home, load to your season ticket card, turn up with a purchase number. Whatever.

Transaction number x was for Mr. X in Seat X.

Simples.

I reckon it must be something to do with the creation of the pdfs/mailouts instead.

I need to see the video.

There seems to be some ambiguity about colour printing. They say it has to be "black ink" but is that just the barcode?

Advising us to get there early. Do they know something?

Surely that is on there to recover the cost to the club of credit card fees for collecting the money via a card?

It's much higher than the actual % cost would be.

My printer is out of action and knew I wouldn't have the chance to replace it when I bought my ticket. Reading this, I reckon the £1.50 for the proper ticket that is already in my wallet was very well spent.

 

[Chinman3000]

I have printed out my ticket just in case but I am going to try zooming in on the barcode on my iPhone and putting that under the scanner. This is more common for cinemas ect now so I see no reason why it should'nt work.

I will confirm after.

Likewise, I waited till Monday, phoned for tickets and they arrived the next day.

Although I'm sure all will be fine at the turnstiles, it's just a ruse to get people in earlier and spend more cash.

[Moshe Gariani]

Thanks. They seem to have sorted out the dodgy link. Seems that colour printing is fine provided the barcode is done in black ink (which it will be assuming the printer is functioning properly).

I have another beef. Details of my wife's disability "didn't carry over" from last time, although all her other details did. So, no disabled parking space and no ticket for her carer.

I've successfully printed at home loads of times since it started. The immediate problem is the printer is out of one of the colours, so it won't print. There are other factors in this story, just details which can be overcome before tomorrow night, so no worries about the ticket.
I have a question of scanner experts on here. I have taken a photo of my ticket PDF bar-code, if they would allow you to scan it at the gate, would it work? It's very clear and obviously you can alter the size to suit, the gap under the scanner head is certainly big enough to get the phone under, so I tend to think it would work fine. Thoughts?

I do this all the time at plenty of other venues without a hitch. Unless someone has sold the club the worst functioning barcode scanners in the history of barcode scanners it'll be fine.

I suspected that's why the gap at the scan head is much larger than it needs to be for a sheet of paper, to accommodate phones.

Occasionally you may need to turn the brightness of your phone screen up to get it to read properly.
