Season Ticket Replacement

Albion4Ev3R · Jan 9, 2013

Went up to stadium yesterday to get my season ticket replaced because the little electronic chip had broken some how, so I went to to assuming the replacement would be free of very little money got up there they accused me of breaking it and charged me £25 and they said sorry its not us that sets the rules it's Paul Barber this is a digrace I've been a season ticket holder for 5 years and considering I'm only 17 I can hardly afford it any barber is a joke get him out now!

That was my first impression with the "get Barber out bollox"

Nor do I. And I think this replacement card policy was set up way before Mr Barber arrived.

Wasn't there another poster who the same thing happened to, but had been using his card as a ice scraper, spatular, garden trowel, ninja star, screwdriver.....

Here we go again.

Disgraceful. You should be more careful with it! :jester:

Insist on speaking to Barber (at least on the phone).
Tell him that it's not your fault that the card is useless, it's not fit for purpose (a bit like him) and there's no way that you should pay for it.

But on the off chance you're telling porkies, get a life.

Will the income generated from replacement season tickets go towards the cost of a striker?

i lost mine last year, got a replacement for £10 so i think you've been done. Barber has pocketed the extra £15

Difference is you actually lost yours. He didn't and i presume he handed the old card back.

Surely to lose it is worse that the chip breaking? and to be fair whats the difference its still a replacement and should be charged the same

It is because you can pass the card onto a friend for free travel.You were rightly charged for a replacement in my humble opinion. If you hand back a faulty card i don't think you should be charged. Besides i don't believe the op's story.

I lost mine on saturday, fortunately it was only at the tills at the Amex Shop.

I was in Dicks Bar when I discovered it was missing.

Fortunately the chap on the counter had picked it up and handed it over to the people on the ticket counter, so I got it back - no charge.

Moral - don't lose your card. I keep mine on a lanyard round my neck. Put it in your wallet and if you sit on it ( or bend it ) by mistake, it can break the circuit and antennae inside, so take care of it.

Agreed. I treat mine as if it were a gold bar.

A gold bar is cheaper to replace!
