Ticket office W**kers let me tell you a story

[Guest red vespa]

Last week i was talking to a mate on sunday night about everton tickets and told him there were some left on the P T S so he spent 4and3/4hrs on the phone on monday but as most of you already know who buy tickets his call never got answered (typical) so on monday night i told him i would meet him at the ground on tuesday morning as i had a few things to clear up with the ticket office my self

Tuesday morning we arrive at the window here is the conversation

MATE: got any tickets for everton left love

Stupid Twat at counter:yes quite a few

M: can i have one im on the P T S

ST: NO they are only on sale by phone

M: but i phoned for 4 3/4 hrs yesterday and you lot never answered

ST: you couldnt have but anyway i cant sell you one only if you phone up

M: its a joke this !!

Then he takes out his mobile phone and rings the office number guess wot ?the phone beside ST rings

M:hi ya its me at the window can i have an everton please

ST:yes sir wots your priorty number

M: here (and holds his card up to the window for her to see)

ST: how will you be paying sir

M: credit card

ST:wots your number

M: here (holds that card up to the window)

all this time im stood watching this in disbelif

ST: ok sir your tickets will be in the post

M:cant you just give me them here to save on the postage

ST: no sir im not allowed to do that

and then she put the phone down and smiled at him

Guess wot his tickets arrived next morning !!!

God help us if we ever get sucessfull again HOW ON EARTH WILL ANYONE EVER GET A TICKET

I don't know whether to laugh at this or cry about it.

[Mav]

I laughed outloud at this. It's like a Monty Python sketch and then you realise - it's your life in their hands time.

 

Nothing surprises me about the TO anymore.

 

Dave PLEASE put this in the next mag. It needs a much wider audience.

[Guest david w]

laugh - its funny

Read my article about "The Road to Paris" in the latest TLW issue. That was when they were really efficient.

Shameless article plug number 1 - let the battle commence...;)

What complete wankers we have working the ticket orifice

[Agent Smith]

I don't know whether to laugh at this or cry about it.

That's exactly how I feel. :D..... :whoops: ...... :angry:

Being a Cockney Wanker, if I put my Leeds home ticket together with my away Fulham one, do I get a robot?

[Truered]

No thankfully or a derby one mate!:whistle:

[Guest Simon1973]

Sounds like a right bunch of idiots working in the ticket office.

 

IMO - it seems they could'nt care less about the fans and that is out of order. It's the fans who pay their f--king wages and maybe its about time they started to show a bit more respect the cocky ignorant tossers.

Boxing Day, Drive 240 miles from Norwich for the match get to Anfield.

 

ME: Hello Mr Haycock here I've got 2 tickets for todays game

T/O: Just Sign here Mr Haycock

ME: Sorry you have given me tickets for Aston Villa

T/O: Well that's what you must of booked

ME: Can you check again cos' I deffo' booked for todays game

T/O: (has a look through tickets) NO, you must of booked for the Villa game, you ought to check the fixture list more carefully next time

Me: (Pissed off) How many tickets did I buy for the villa game?

T/O: (Looking puzzled) You bought 2 with your C/C

Me: Well why have you given me 4 tickets for Villa (holding up 4 tickets)

T/O: OH, Errrm Ahhh, You'll have to give me the tickets back.

Me: Am I going to get two tickets for todays game, I have just drove like 240 miles.

T/O: I've told you you booked for the wrong game, now give me the two extra tickets.

Me: For the last time of asking will you give me two tickets for todays game like I asked? you've already given me 4 tickets when I only paid for two for the wrong match.

T/O: No It's your mistake, now give us back the tickets for Villa

ME: Get fucked (walk off into sunset, with 4 tickets for villa)

[Guest Original202]

Some of the girls on the windows are ok and seem to care, but others are just rude and don't seem to have a clue about anything.

 

ME:"Can I get a Wolves Away ticket please"

T.O:"Where would you like it?"

ME: "Er, quite high up if possible, get a better view"

T.O: "Did you say Kop? I don't think there's many left in there"

ME: "Er no, Wolves AWAY"

T.O: "Oh, they're not on sale yet"

ME: "Of course they are! There's a big pile of them next to your computer!"

T.O: *Looks around* "Oh yes, how many do you want?"

 

They're bloody useless. Went to hand in my application for Ljubljana Away:

 

ME: "I can come back and collect them"

T.O "It's ok, you can get one now, they're on general sale"

ME: "It's an application for the Away game love. You usually ring us to let us know we've got tickets"

T.O: "The away game? I thought you wanted tickets for the home leg?"

 

Daft bint hadn't noticed the bit of paper I just handed her! Hadn;t in an application for Dortmund Away in the Champions League: "What do I do with this?" was the reply I got.

 

I don't trust anyone in there. They've fucked up countless times. I don;t know many people who had their fan card data correct. My mate went to two games but in his season ticket book they've put down that he went to 12!

[fivetimes]

we have problems with the euro away forms as well, they invariably get "lost"?!?!

 

its a shambles.

 

then again, some of the time, they are only doing what they are told to do by the boss of the ticket system/office. Now THAT is the wanker.

[Nunavut Patrick]

I don't think you should be too hard on them as they are under alot of pressure with having to learn to speak Mandarin and Japanese to serve the real supporters of LFC:sick: :sick: :sick:

Has Houllier taken over the TO as well???

" Liverpool Ticket Office calling International Rescue ! "

 

Thunderbirds are go......

The story would be funny but for spending 4 3/4 hours on the phone. That isn't funny - that's a piss take. There may indeed be a Chief Wanker but some of the staff sound dense.

[Steve]

Fourtimes - They don't 'lose' letters from Milton Keynes and Essex asking nicely if there's any chance of a ticket do they?

[Rushian]

Steve - they're generally appalling wherever you live in the country. If people keep perpetuating the myth of preference to OOTs for postals/cc line then a few Reds will get a bashing from fellow Reds sooner or later down the line.

[Guest podge]

 

EXPLAIN THIS!

[Rushian]

podge - the atmosphere netween "locals" and "oots" has been simmering for a while and will spill over soon seeing some Reds batter other Reds - perpetuating myths that it's easier to ring the cc from outside Liverpool isn't helping but then neither is having the most uncooperative and incommunicado ticket office and club in the league.

[fivetimes]

it has seem to have got a little bit more "tense" over the last few years definitely.

[Guest podge]

Beating the crap out of someone from thailand is

not gonna solve anything. Its the clubs fault.

I understand where your coming from.

There should be more tickets available for local support

but has been said many times on this & other forums,

the people who come from afar will spend more money,

& thats all the Club is interested in.

[Guest podge]

It would be terrible if something like that happened.
