paralytic thistle Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 With you on that CH, me, I'm on tenterhooks, will they be able to issue them in time for Friday the 2nd ? the future is so uncertain, and I'm so anxious, it would be so reassuring if the the club were able to confirm a date when they will be available/distributed.

The nearer it gets, the bigger a Jackie Brambles I can imagine the opening night being - hopefully though, it'll be all right on the night!

To be honest the club should now be saying something either positive or negative regarding the season tickets as to when they will be available on the web site about nowish in my opinion.

Okay fair play to the club we are now getting vouchers for the first home game by post although I don't really understand why showing our Season Ticket would not achieve the same end,it would seem to me that perhaps we don't have the tickets ready either.

little_miss_jag Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 They should save themselves some money and offer season ticket holders the chance to pick the voucher up on Sat. That and I don't trust them that the voucher will actually arrive in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancipital Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) http://ptfc.co.uk/ne..._ticket_holders so we're not going to use the new electronic STs for the arabs game because it's on TV but we're going to do it for the Hearts game... which is on TV. <---- I have no idea what this smiley means but I think it's pretty much my reaction. That's another set of vouchers, hope someone in the office enjoys licking stamps. Edited July 24, 2013 by Ancipital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerryHell Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Tickets for the Limassol and DUFC games in the same envelope. They cant be - website says DU voucher to be with us 'by the early part of next week'. Well okay, they could be, but the Limassol voucher isnt going to be much use by that point.

Norgethistle Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 In other words the new system doesn't work yet, the Royal mails gonna be making a small fortune of us over the next few weeks, vouchers for limassol, DUfC and I'd imagine hearts say 2000 season ticket holders multiply by 3 vouchers by £1 each there's another £6k gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure the club was wise enough and had foresaw the potential financial implications to the club if the card system was not installed, fully tested and ready for a date a couple of weeks prior to seasons start, to allow time for system to be fully tested and any snagging works rectified, ST cards to be made, sent out and received at least a week before season starts, by all ST holders for this coming season..... and thus the club when awarding the contract ensured that such an applicable penalty clause covering late completion and the costs to the club being met by the contractors installing the electronic turnstyle system was in the contract between club and contractor. To think otherwise, and such an eventuality was not considered or covered properly in the contract between club and contractor to protect the club fully, would be foolhardy surely.

Guy Incognito Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Sorry should have explained my last post refers to the first league game not Saturdays game. I know, but it is my understanding that a voucher would be sent for Saturday's game as well. There is still time yet, but I would have hoped that it would have arrived by today.

Lin1876 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I finally went and renewed my season ticket this afternoon as I was in the area, and was given a voucher for Saturday while I was there, so I imagine the rest have been sent out. Considering most of the won't be going far they should surely arrive on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda-jag Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Penalty clauses?? Look to the catering carry on to see how well we tie up our suppliers Yes, but that contract was over two years ago when it was drawn up. They will have learnt their mistakes and shortcomings from way back then by now when it comes to contracts, and ensured no such catastrophic oversights ever occur again in leaving the club open to breaches in contract and not being covered properly to protect the clubs interests and finances accordingly.

Milo Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 What a miserable lot inhabit this thread! Be honest, you are all, secretly, just a wee bit happy that something has gone wrong, because it gives you something else you can moan about. Get out more. Go to the pub and have a pint. It may not do you much good, but it will give your family a well-earned rest from your petty-minded whining! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
