It's going to look like comic relief next season with all those red nose club crests.

Email sent to watchdog. It's a very simple form to fill out so please contact them if you feel as strongly as I do using the link provided above.

Ignoring the troll, there is additional information on the Which? website: http://www.which.co.uk/advice/buying-tickets-your-rights/index.jsp If SFC refuse to give you a refund of the ticket tax when tickets do not arrive at your address on time 1. Contact STAR If the ticket seller refuses to give you a refund and you still want to reject the tickets you have several options, depending on the circumstances: If the ticket seller is a member of The Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (STAR), take your complaint there. It can't force members to give your money back, but if a member breaks the code of practice they face warnings, fines or expulsion from STAR. If it is not a member and you paid for tickets worth more than £100 by credit card, you might be able to claim a refund from your credit card company. 2. Contact your local trading standards office If STAR cannot help you, and you didn't pay with a credit card, you could take the ticket agent to the small claims court for breach of contract. I will also be contacting watchdog requesting that they highlight what SFC and other clubs are doing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog/gotastory/

As I mentioned on another thread, and it's very unlike me to repeat myself, with the £3 ticket tax you should expect a premium service. You will have payed well over the odds to receive your tickets through the post so if they're not with you in a couple of days you should complain to the club. Furthermore if your tickets fail to arrive (as happened to me twice last season (had to pick up duplicates at Oldham and MK Dons)) then demand a refund of the ticket tax because the club have not completed their service. If tickets don't arrive for me next season, and if the club don't give me a refund of the ticket tax, I WILL take them to the small claims court.

Out of interest has anyone ever seen a ginger with a tan? I've only even seen pasty white and bright red faced gingers.

Do you think £3 is a reasonable amount to charge for a postal delivery given that most clubs with a ticket tax charge £1?

Wotsit all about?

When my JPT final tickets hadn't arrived weeks after i'd payed for them I rang the ticket office and the girl I spoke to said they'd been inundated with calls enquiring as to why it was taking so long. I asked who had organised the selling arrangements and she said Nicola Cortese had taken personal charge. Based on this and the fact a ticket tax was introduced it's pretty obvious Cortese is behind the recent bad decisions.

Clearly they can, but that doesn't make it an ethical business decision. It's a con.

If you're going to troll please do it in English Dulldayzzz.

I wasn't advocating a boycott per se, but was suggesting that a way of recouping the money you've been ripped off by (either through not being able to pay for a season ticket in installments or from the ticket tax) is to cut back in other areas such as merchandise and programmes. I feel that Cortese has been unethical in what he has done so I have no problem in returning the favour by deliberately economising in other areas. By his actions Cortese has given fans the two fingers so he only has himself to blame.

Are you deliberately being a complete div? I was asking whther you'd be happy paying chelsea ticket prices.

I was asking would you be happy paying Chelsea prices to watch games because that is the bracket Cortese clearly wants us in.

By selling tickets for games. If there's a rip off tax on tickets why not a beer tax because the plastic cups cost money as do the beer - you're not just paying for the beer afterall. The cost of a ticket should be all inclusive the same as the price of your half time pint. I have already said it'd be fair to charge for P+P but £3 is nothing but an unethical rip off. So much for Mr Liebherr and his business ethics - this is Ryanair ethics!

Til death us do part - the funniest comedy ever on tv.

Are you buying a season ticket or are you just trolling on an issue that doesn't affect you?

That's because there's nothing we can do about fuel prices, but the ticket tax is an issue we can do something about by lobbying the club and making Cortese realises how unethical it is.

They don't care - that is the problem. There are loads of fans that travel to numerous away games cheering the team on who don't live locally and can't get to the ticket office easily, but because they support the club on the road give the team more backing which hopefully translates into more points for the club. It's nice to see Cortese thinks we're not valued.

Only?

Would you be happy to pay Chelsea prices in the top flight because that's the territory the club is heading for?

I agree - it won't happen very often! I cannot see how they can justify this figure as the majority of other clubs with a ticket tax charge £1 which although unpalateable is a more realistic price to cover the cost of postage - 39p and the envelope 10p. By booking online it uses less man minutes to process an order than at the window as all the details are on the screen so if they're going to bring out a ticket tax for online/phone sales then you'd have expected a window tax too. This is just the sort of policy which makes many people despise Ryanair.

Am I the only one who saw this thread and thought it was about the spanish waiter - Javi?

You forgot to mention the £3 ticket tax. It is a blatant rip-off. The majority of other clubs with a ticket tax charge £1. How can Saints justify tripling that figure?

In case you hadn't noticed paying with credit card no longer costs more than with a debit card. So now you can pay with your credit card and genuinely benefit.

lol, you really are a mug delldays. If tickets get lost the club issue duplicates.
