You don't understand where the club's priorities would lie? You know as well as everyone else the travel club prices are a joke. People who have the most points should be prioritised, that's the purpose of a points system. The Specky Forum Organiser 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough tickets to run a flight or two, they pay Rangers for the partnership, we pay more than travelling independently. Probably with that little incentive that paying that bit more this way, benefitting the club via TC, might give more chance of a ticket. Seems sound business logic and pretty naive to think / want it not to be so. But it shouldn't give you more chance of a ticket, it's not a fair way to do it. I'm not saying this from a selfish point of view either btw, I'm on 4 points so will get one regardless(barring a disaster) but it's nonsense.

But the folk paying those prices, through a club partner, yeah I'd always assumed they'd get a ticket. Rapid prices are far from a joke imo, hence I can afford it. Do I think the club should prioritise someone on x points travelling with the travel club compared to an independent? Yes, I would. Rightly, fairly, or not. It makes business sense to the club. Should I get a travel club ticket with 0 points before someone with 2 or 3 going independently? No I don't think so. But where are the criteria set out, is this the case, are points the main criteria etc? Fuck knows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably worth saying that the Travel Club itself isn't a significant money making exercise for the club but Tam Cook definitely make a decet wedge off the official club flights.

We're not talking about any kind of decent money for the club either. You're comparing points again. As a business partner, that backs the club, I'd expect the club to meet their demands for tickets by and large. Ive already said on a points based argument I don't think it right.

If we didn't, they wouldn't be able to lay on the same package deals which effectively makes the partnership a fuck up. It is what it is. TC I can afford this time, likely won't often again. But I'll still accept if I'm on x points going independent someone on x points going with the travel club is likelier than me to get a ticket. It makes sense.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,277 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Fair dos, decent decision, very welcomed too... ============ Dear Rangers FC supporter, Hope you’re looking forward to the trip in December. Excellent win at the weekend. We have decided to delay the payment process until 1st November 2018. This is to allow supporters a little more time to arrange for money to be in accounts/pay day to come round. On 1st November we will begin taking payments, please remain patient as this can take a few days. Towards the end of November you will receive more information on the flight allocations and timings for the trip. Any questions, please email sport@thomascooksport.com Many thanks, Thomas Cook Sport Thomas Cook Sport is part of the Thomas Cook Group plc McEwan's Lager 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,259 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I’d panicked I didn’t have enough money and didn’t want to stick it on the credit card so had arranged for a change in payment details to another card yesterday. Then they sent that email through ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
