SholverBlue Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I am begining to think we should have Season Cards instead of the booklets, I can see plenty off Pros. Pros Fit In Wallet, pocket or bag easier. Looks smart. Saves time getting in. Easy to replace. I of a few people who have washed there STs in the pockets of there coats, this wouldn't happen. You don't lose those pesky little tickets in the booklet. A few clubs have them now, they look something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pros Fit In Wallet, pocket or bag easier. - Season Ticket fits in pocket Looks smart. - Think they booklets look okay Saves time getting in. - Not hard to rip a ticket out is it? Easy to replace. - Would the club replace them? I of a few people who have washed there STs in the pockets of there coats, this wouldn't happen. - Never happened to me, but that is a disadvantage if you do You don't lose those pesky little tickets in the booklet. - Never lost a ticket, pull it out just before i go in A few clubs have them now, they look something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you clarify the options for us, I'll edit them into the poll answers for you. "Yes" - Yes, we should have season cards? "No" - No, we should have booklets?

lookers87 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Should we have season cards (right now) - No - massive unnecessary expense at this present time Is it something the club are well aware of and would like to move to - Yes The only way cards could happen is if every turnstile was fitted with the required technology, plus a sizeable upgrade to the technology within the club. Not a chance of this happening, it is however in the plans for the new ground as I understand it. In fact they have already made part of a move towards it with the Teamcard - other clubs have combined this loyalty card with season ticket in an all-in-one solution.

L1onheart Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 The Brisbane Lions have operated a Season or members card at the Gabba for some years now and it is extremely effective. It isnt a swipe, it is a bar code which is scanned at the turnstile by a permanently affixed scanner. Seat numbers are pre allocated which whilst it doesnt prevent theft, it serves as a massive deterrent; double or over allocation is a thing of the past. What it also allows is exit and antry at any time. Scan out, scan back in etc Should we have season cards (right now) - No - massive unnecessary expense at this present time Is it something the club are well aware of and would like to move to - Yes The only way cards could happen is if every turnstile was fitted with the required technology, plus a sizeable upgrade to the technology within the club.

Simpo Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 The loyalty points-style TeamCard will be used as a season ticket when we move to Failsworth, I believe. Another extra is that you can buy 'tickets' for cup games online, and then simply use your TeamCard as usual rather than picking tickets up at the ground. Great for exiles!

razza699 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Where do you think this is? Tesco's? Why would it be nesisary to swipe them??? How would you know what game it was and who was entering the stadium without swiping it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometownclub Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) ST card would be much more convenient for me as it would just go in my wallet and stay there. A card system would be much better, but is clearly not going to happen due to cost. Edited September 20, 2010 by Hometownclub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 How would you know what game it was and who was entering the stadium without swiping it ? ...to get around that what you could have is a card for every game, and a chap sat at the turnstiles taking the appropriate "Game Card" from your "Season Game Card Book". No need for any new technology at point of entrance, and we're bang up to date in line with our better-off neighbours 'cos we've adopted the swanky new Game Card experience for our fans. So much win.

Matt Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 How about this. Remember those Clipper things that were on the GM buses? 10 games on it pre-pay, pick any games you want. They never bloody worked though, it was always making that buzzing noise - I'd be holding up the bus, and the driver was like and the passengers were like and I'd be getting all flustered...

Matt Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 or photocopying them and giving them to your mates? I know somebody who used to use a season ticket that had expired - not just expired, like 3 or 4 seasons old, and got in every time. I'm going back to 2000/01 around that time - but it just goes to show, if you've got the neck for it you can get away with all sorts.

Don't like the idea of having to get a ticket for cup games in advance. Lost SeasonCards would be happily replaced, as unlike book-style season tickets, a lost Card can be voided, and a new one issued, like a bank card. You could pay on the gate, or get a paper ticket for games as normal if you wanted too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
