Rotherham (H)

[Milton Keynes Bee]

Apparently South West Railway are planning industrial action on Saturday August 4th. Anybody know yet how services from Clapham Junction to Brentford might be affected?

No trains?

Nothing new there then! :very angry: :very angry: :very angry: :very angry: :very angry:

It doesn’t matter, no one can buy tickets for the game anyway.

 

[Ashford Bees]

This is getting beyond a joke. Football shirts that nobody wants to buy, and no tickets for matches. WTF.

 

[daddybee]

I'm after 2 tickets in the New Rd Dress Circle if the box office ever opens

It does if you have ST

 

[ruislip bee]

Card! Come on get with the jargon for this performance of Brentford v Rotherham.

 

[Kettering Bee]

I wonder if they are going to use the ‘legendary’ reveal tease approach to marketing tickets? ???

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

I don’t get it and the title of this thread

Yes, a strange choice of title considering the content.

Where’s a mod when you need one ? Tea break probably !

 

[Houghton Bee]

See one of the ticketing threads in General Bees Discussion, the club were referring to the matches as 'performances' for some bizarre reason.

You would’ve needed to have seen the Brentford ticket website.

As a st holder, my ST card allows me to view 23 performances. Performances?! I kid you not.

 

[Bill Benn]

I take it there will be no trains from Reading then.

 

[westendbee]

If recent experience is anything to go by, a strike on South Western Railway means a revised timetable rather than no trains at all.

 

[Bizzy Bee]

What times the Matinee on the 4th of August?

 

[PhilE]

What times the Matinee on the 4th of August?

Its a 3pm curtain up with an interval at 3:45.

 

[ruislip bee]

I hear an understudy is on standby in case Mepham can't make curtain up.

Ok thanks

 

[Vid]

As DS sends the players out with "Go break a leg".

 

[Holysmit]

Just checked the official site nothing listed as performances. Please tell me this means they havent been labelled as such as if they have its time the marketing guy got kicked out the door. Then brought back into be kicked out again for being such a pretenious hipster ****er.

It’s been changed to matches now...... but it did say 23 performances........

 

[Holysmit]

This is up there with marketing Preston at home as a traditional 3pm kick off. These guys are ****ing clueless. The Brentford nights campaign was cringeworthy.

Good football and victories brings more faces in not b***ocks like that.

I really wish sporting institutions would stop employing people to do marketing who have no idea about sport. Its great that you have this marketing experience on your cv but if you dont understand the game whats the ****ing point.

Whoever put performances should walk now for being totally unable to understand the most basic part of the club they are representing.

 

[daddybee]

Indeed. It ruined the whole customer experience for me

It would've been the default text the ticket software provider uses rather than a conscious BFC marketing decision. Still daft, mind.

It would be good if you could prepay for your half-time beers and have them ready to collect though!

This has been discussed in the LR Consultation, using the Old Vic App as an example.

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Still can't buy tickets for the Rotherham game... with two weeks to go...

 

[Ashford Bees]

Whilst our DOF’s are excelling, others in the club are taking their eye off the ball and undoing all the good transfer business being done by scoring too many commercial / marketing own goals. Ridiculous. Old Brentford rearing it’s ugly head again in the back of house.

 

[cheshirebee]

Apologies if already covered but re. season tix , am I right that yo just use last seasons card if you have renewed ?

 

[TeeJayBee]

Yes, provided you haven't changed age band (e.g."young person" to adult)

 

[ruislip bee]

Yes, provided you haven't changed age band, seat or sex(e.g."young person" to adult)

Just expanded that a little for you.

 

[JBN]

Perhaps we have signed the acting football duo, Pepe and Neymar.

 

[Jezybee]

It would be good if you could prepay for your half-time beers and have them ready to collect though!

Indeed. How is it possible in this day and age that one cannot order one’s pre-curtain franchiacorta with sour cream, salmon and caviar blini and interval G&T accompanied by Serrano ham and manchego to one’s seat?

Club run by luddites

A little slip of paper with your name on it next to your round would work perfectly I reckon!!!

Sh1te is that correct, I need to find where I put last years then!

 

[JANORAK]

I take it there will be no trains from Reading then.

Try GWR to Ealing Bdy?

 

[Bill Benn]

Try GWR to Ealing Bdy?

Cheers,I’ll go straight through to Paddington from Cheltenham and then back to Ealing Broadway

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Well i cant make this but ive passed the ST onto a mate who cant buy a ticket yet.. Im doing my bit, any danger of the club doing their bit and letting people buy tickets with two weeks to go?????

Less then 8000 i reckon.

 

[cheshirebee]

Yes, provided you haven't changed age band (e.g."young person" to adult)

Thanks.
Also, have bought a first time ST for my daughter. Not received it yet. Presumably I am not the only one ?

Not got mine either.
Think they are being sent out at the end of July.

With a complimentary replica away shirt as believe they have surplus

 

[theraaaven]

wow as season ticket holder i am inelgible to buy a ticket for rotherham for a mate.........................great new ticket system

 

[Judio1999]

wow as season ticket holder i am inelgible to buy a ticket for rotherham for a mate.........................great new ticket system

That was the case last season

Day 1 Members only one ticket
Day 2 ST holders can buy for their mates
Day 3 Either Restricted to prior purchase or
Day 4 General Sale

 

[Banana]

I don't have a problem with this. If your mate wants a ticket then let him become a member and then add him to your F&F.

 

[Griffingreen]

Still can't buy tickets for the Rotherham game... with two weeks to go...

There'll be a picture of the ticket taken in a semi darkened room soon, followed by another and another slowly revealing the ticket, the suspense will have gotten to all of us by then and we'll buy them in a frenzy. Bit like the 2nd strip promotion.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Madness, get it on general sale asap or at least enable members and ST holders to buy as many as they want. What are the club expecting? 12,000? with 2000 Rotherham?
