fifes elite Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 In honesty this isnt a surprise speaking to a couple of people I know who went down who had tickets for the England end, they went up to one of the windows (not sure if it was the SSC or just a main one) and claimed they had been sent out tickets for the wrong end and were handed replacements for the Scotland end. Not sure if these replacements are some they have spare for occurances like this but if they had spares then surley they could have given you one knowing your tickets had been handed out incorrectly. Or even worse they were just handing out the tickets of people who had paid for them and not picked them up yet I also seen guys sneaking into the ground quite easily.

Unlikely. Â Dealing with the general public (particularly if they've been drinking) is a nightmare. Â We seem to feel in the UK that someone serving you is fair game for any old snash. No excuse for giving away someone's ticket and no excuse for abusing people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Andy Mitchell and Rob Shorthouse were on using the Scottish FA account.  Andy Mitchell used to just put out information, Rob Shorthouse while no doubt trying to be helpful for ended up being a bit too smart for his own good.  Given his subsequent employment, that probably wasn't too much of a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only 2 staff dishing out Scotland tickets while a number of Windows remained closed. When she brought my ticket to me she asked my post code but due to a sing song going on I couldn't hear, I said "what?" And the attitude she gave me was horrendous. Customer service isn't their strong piint They charge enough for memberships, they could at least try and show us a bit respect in return Exactly this. The puzzle was why they only had two windows active for what was probably the largest pick-up in years (in terms of numbers) and certainly the most concentrated in terms of time availability. They probably had no choice about the location, but the pick-up point should clearly have been better resourced. The dark haired female who was on the right hand window fell well short in basic human courtesy on the night. Her tone left a lot to be desired. No idea why, it certainly wasn't anything that we said. As you allude to, courtesy and respect should be a given. Patronising customer service, insufficient resources and condescending e-mail communications only serve to undermine what was a very good service up until five or so years ago.   Edited November 15, 2016 by Barney Rubble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocky Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Why have any pick up for this game... Â Surely here wouldnt be harvesters for this Game, this is the game that you would Harvest to get too, if you were a harvester. Â Why would anyone buy an England Ticket and not go, ? so they could get a point to go and see Lithuania Away...... Â Can any harvesters say otherwise?

Â Folk who live abroad always have to collect because they always leave it till the last minute to post them out. Following on from them leaving things till the last after, after I only received my Georgia ticket on the Friday (second last post) while I was flying out on the Monday I have always chosen to collect ever since.

The Laud Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 This is an absolute outrage and the guy had every right to call them for everything after the strict terms the ssc have laid out for any unfortunate picking up.If ihad travelled from Norway and these clowns had given away my ticket i dont think i would be able to contain myself either. As for kicking the guy out the club im speechless.After next year there will be thousands leaving as its not just the team who are a joke.

they've_been_suckered Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Assume this was Anne Marie Bannon we're talking about? I don't condone screaming abuse in a wee Lassy's face but I would be angry in the circumstances. I had an issue regarding tickets at the wales home game a few years ago, I contacted her with a range of supporting evidence for what I was saying. She completely disregarded everything I'd said and left a really sour taste. In summary, she's a waste of time.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever screwed up and gave away your ticket needs to be held accountable but you lose your rag and you lose the argument and any chance of getting it sorted out.  To be honest being polite doesn't make any difference on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
