thehurtman Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 My first son was was born Monday night, so first job was to send Grandad for his first season ticket yesterday. I was shocked (but the more I think about it it's typical Latics) to find out the ticket office were too busy and that we should try again in a couple of weeks. Surely this goes against evertything SC is trying to achieve. If only we had two other clubs on our doorstep?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Really? Surely you don't need a season ticket for a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Unbelieveable. Just about the busiest period the club has had in the last 10 years, trying to dole out tickets for these cup games whilst also carrying on with the normal day to day duties leading upto an important home league game on Saturday and someone thinks the clubs priority should be to process a £10 junior season ticket for a new born to cover the next 8 games. Brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 So you wanted priority for an Everton ticket really? Thought so. Give the poor buggers in the ticket office a break. They've worked their knackers off to help us see a bit of fun recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 New borns get in free anyway. Not asif they can walk thru the turnstile themselves is it? You need a birth certificate or passport or something anyway. I know this because at the start of the season, I wanted to buy two so my son could bring a mate with him. But I wasnt allowed.

Brilliant How long would it take to process? My own ticket for Everton is sorted by the way. My mate got one for his baby girl when she was born and as he is now the fourth generation of regular Latics supporters in my family, I don't think it is a massive ask. Especially as he will go even when this "busiest period for 10 years" is long forgotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 How long would it take to process? Did Grandad have said baby's ID with him so soon after the birth? If not it would take as long as it takes you to provide it. Probably the few few days you were asked to wait, during which we would sell a couple of thousand tickets at £20 a pop. Stop pointlessly wasting peoples time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
