Picked up 3 season ticket cards today , amazingly straightforward process , all completed in one visit . Cards printed and activated while you wait .Apologies if already mentioned .
You can't say that. It's a tax on the old and poor.£20 well spent perhaps
Not sure why they are giving the staff shit but totally understand the moaning. This extra charge is just another way of punishing people (myself included) who choose not to use or can’t afford a smart phone.Fans need to lay off staff when picking up their card some dickhead was moaning that Liverpool only pay a fiver for one!
Same happened when my mate picked up 4 the other day staff getting abuse over it.
You can't afford a smart phone don't talk rubbish there as cheap as anything and with contracts as little as £7.50 a month with data.Not sure why they are giving the staff shit but totally understand the moaning.

I wrote to mr Sadler about this but obviously had no reply
As I said or choose not to !You can't afford a smart phone don't talk rubbish there as cheap as anything and with contracts as little as £7.50 a month with data.
You DON'T want to use a smart phone and if your a certain age that's fair enough but unfortunately that's how it's going to be no turning back now especially after the pandemic.
But it does make me chuckle folk moaning about technology on a internet social media site.
Considering that Blackpool is one of the poorest areas in the UK and people are using food banks £7.50 is a lot to some people and nobody should be saying what can or can't be afforded by someone else . Also I let my son sort my ticket out as I don't trust technology or want it . I can't wait to see what happens on matchday if the turnstiles fail to work . At least the people with cards can prove they have a ticket ,because I can't see what they are going to do with the rest of us.You can't afford a smart phone don't talk rubbish there as cheap as anything and with contracts as little as £7.50 a month with data.

If the turnstiles fail they fail and if they let you in showing your ST on your phone or an actual card what's the difference?Considering that Blackpool is one of the poorest areas in the UK and people are using food banks £7.50 is a lot to some people and nobody should be saying what can or can't be afforded by someone else .

With all due respect would you be getting a season ticket if you were using food banks? I don't think you would.Considering that Blackpool is one of the poorest areas in the UK and people are using food banks £7.50 is a lot to some people and nobody should be saying what can or can't be afforded by someone else .

I am not making problems , I am just giving a scenario that may happen . Anyway if you are happy to give your money away for nothing ,it's none of my business.If the turnstiles fail they fail and if they let you in showing your ST on your phone or an actual card what's the difference?
Nothing stop trying to make problems that ain't there.
Just get a card from club shop took a couple of minutes when I was getting three on Friday £20 each last for two seasons no issues.
Just because it has to be used to pay bills ,keep in contact with people and receive info ,does not mean you can like it or trust it. A telephone is technology and I was happy with that at the time.You don't trust technology, or want it, and yet you are posting on an on line message board using the world wide web and using a device full of technology to post your message even though you don't trust any of the aforementioned technology?
And I've give you a scenario which says can you tell me what's the difference between a bit of plastic and ST on your phone?I am not making problems , I am just giving a scenario that may happen . Anyway if you are happy to give your money away for nothing ,it's none of my business.
Yes I noticed that on Saturday and l had problems myself, I’d be very surprised if it all goes smoothly this Saturday but hopefully just a few teething problems.Got my plastic cards. The ticket scanners in the north were absolute shite on Saturday. All those in front of me had to fanny about with their tix to get them to scan. I hope the phone apps are a lot better.
You are probably right in general ,but nurses for example use food banks , yet they may have children or grand children that want to support Blackpool . I may pay in stages ,but I know I would buy one for my child and if I had to take him ,you tend to find the money.With all due respect would you be getting a season ticket if you were using food banks? I don't think you would.
Paper ticketsWas it just tickets yesterday or could you download an e-ticket to your phone?
Why don't you offer to pay the extra for him then ?And I've give you a scenario which says can you tell me what's the difference between a bit of plastic and ST on your phone?
Absolutely sod all.
It's £10 a season FFS I'll spend more than that on Saturday and I'm driving!
Who WOT?Why don't you offer to pay the extra for him then ?
According to Malced, people who use taxis and live in Little Singleton also use food banks.With all due respect would you be getting a season ticket if you were using food banks? I don't think you would.
Surely the definition of someone who is aware about people using foodbanks and nurses is WOKE.Who WOT?
Nah just a typical old moaning git off here who's probably not shy of a poxy £20.
Sick of hearing food banks,nurses, cost of living etc when someone has parted with 350 to go to games yet twenty they can't afford.
#bullshit
HmmmmmNot sure why they are giving the staff shit but totally understand the moaning. This extra charge is just another way of punishing people (myself included) who choose not to use or can’t afford a smart phone.

Think it's more like not sharing a ST . If cards are available more likely to share it .Hmmmmm
Yeah
I wonder if those so “smug” less than 50 years old with digital tickets, will be as smug if the system crashes like it did at Edgebaston first day of the Ashes, or when the Bluetooth crashed at Wembley for the Euro 2020 Final (played 2021 due to Covid) first game of the season.
We all saw the violence at the Euro Final Wembley gates as technology failed miserably.
It is a rip off charging £20 to “Loyal BFC ST Holders” when the cost to the club is “few pence” and doubt even a pound maximum.
