Connacht Season Ticket Delay

leeroybrown

A quick note for any other supporters wondering where their season ticket has ended up (thanks to Ticketmaster) with the first game kicking off this evening. Connacht Branch have finally sent out a notice hidden a the end of a newsletter e-mail. I think the last sentence sums the whole mess up.

Some of you may not have received your season tickets yet. They have been posted out but if you don't get them today/are coming straight from work to the match don't worry. We'll have a list of season ticket holder's names at the gates to get you into the match. We apologise for any incontinence this has caused.

Haha, a list of season ticket holders at the gates?

How many do Connacht get?

Well I still haven't gotten the Leinster season ticket either ... what the hell was the 17quid service charge for ?

Problem is I order a bunch for some friends but I'm going on holifdays next week and they're all due to get posted to me .... I am not going to be popular :eek:

My ticket arrived at lunch time but it's been a bloody farce. The only saving grace is that they've gone back to the credit card style system instead of the book of coded individual tickets.

Are you sure, I thought it was still the book of tickets?

I thought it was going to be a booklet as well ... the credit card thing is a mess if you want to give tickets to friends if you can't attend the matches.

Prefer the booklet to be honest.

It's supposed to be credit card this year. I'd guess that mine is sitting at home with the post but as I'm at work I'll have to take my chances with the list.

That and you've only suffered inconvenience rather than the incontinence that Connacht have advised fans of.

I prefer the credit card. I can just put it in my wallet and not have to worry about forgetting to remember the ticket book and having to sprint home at the last minute after forgetting it. The booklet was just cumbersome.

zAbbo

I'm almost 100% certain it's a book of tickets system.

Mine's at home waiting for me today

Attached.

What I hated most about the book of tickets was having to check whether ticket 13 in magenta was the right one for the game you were going to.

zAbbo

Sorry thought you meant the Leinster tickets.

The card does seem handy enough

I can see how the confusion arose.

The howling wind and driving rain arrived in Galway an hour or so ago so it looks like it's all systems go for the Connacht season to start.

Was just gonna wage in there and say I think you're both talking about the two different season tickets.

I've had both with Leinster, Booklet and credit card and I have to say I prefer the booklet as well. If you lose your wallet with the credit card, game over man. Tickets gone.

Got my tickets yesterday, decent package, a Leinster members scarf, wallet size fixture list, some coupons and a ML Champs 07/08 poster.

That's a mess with the Connacht tickets though, in fairness it shouldn't have been left to the last minute in the first place, especially with a home game up first.
