Live from the ticket office

[Giraffe]

Just phoning to buy my Hartlepool tickets. How long will it take?

 

[Giraffe]

queue position eight.

 

[Giraffe]

queue position seven, quick movement

 

[Giraffe]

queue position six, getting better

 

[Giraffe]

five! They must have more staff on today, thank goodness!!!

I was queue position 5 yesterday and it took about 12-15 minutes.

As an aside, after I completed my booking I was told my tickets would be ready for collection at the ground. Okay fine I said. Lo and behold, they turned up in the post this morning.

All well and good, but say I had been at work, or out of the house all morning and was going straight to football under the impression my tickets would be there. A bit dodgy saying one thing, then doing another IMHO.

four now, moving quickly. What were people moaning about?

 

[Giraffe]

Leapt to two now, they are going at wizard speed!!!!!

Oops just dropped the phone whilst typing. Hasn't cut off though!

I walked down Queens Road this morning to get mine!!!!

Wouldn't bother with that £2 booking fee, UTTERLY DISGUSTING.

I was in there buying my Hartlepool ticket about half ten this morning. About four or five people in front of me in the queue, one person dealing with the personal callers (Scottish bloke who I assume was Paul the manager - top man!) and two people manning the phones. Service was polite and quick

 

[Giraffe]

Still at two, I think they've taken a wee break.

 

[Giraffe]

One, here goes...

Fair point!!!!!

I'm through, its the Scot!

Job done four tickets duly ordered, swift, polite service. 13 minute wait which on a match day is not bad.

Although as others have said the booking fee is scandalous, but then we are not exactly alone in charging this are we? Cartainly when I order tickets for England games the same applies.

I'm in the queue just so I can tell them to shove it when they quote me the booking fee
