j1mgg 3,766 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Just to let people know that they are wanting to charge £7 for your ticket to be sent out by special delivery, if you want to collect from ticket office you need to send an email Unfortunately, due to SFA rules prohibiting match ticket reprinting for games at Hampden Park, all tickets for the above game will either be mailed out using Special Delivery or held for collection at Rangers Ticket Centre. This action is to ensure all supporters receive the ticket they have been allocated and paid for. Payment for tickets will be taken on Friday 1st April with tickets available for collection from Friday 8th April. Ticket prices are as follows: North & South stands adults £28 and concessions £12, West stand adults are priced at £18 and concession £7. Please note that concessionary prices apply to under 16yrs and over 65yrs of age. Should you wish your ticket to be held for collection please do not respond to this email, please email ccardmandate@rangers.co.uk before close of business on Wednesday 29 March; thereafter all tickets will be posted out by Special Delivery at a cost of £7.00. Should you choose to collect your ticket please bring your smartcard(s) as proof of ID Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacStoner_96Bear_ST 27 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 The £7 is for special delivery, if you go to the post office and ask to send anything that method that costs more than a couple of quid. its not a rip-off mate. That sounds like you are slating the club for doing their duty. If you want to wait in a massive collection que at a match and probably miss the start, or if you want to take time out when it's not a matchday to visit the ticket centre then choose collection.

So why charge £14 for 2 or £21 for 3? Cant they put more than one season ticket application who are at the same address in the same envelope? The club should make sure that more than one season ticket holder at the same address gets charge £7 and not £7 per ticket Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSM 20,892 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 What's wrong with First Class Signed For service costing £1.73? Why does anyone need Special Delivery when the game is 3 weeks away? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 There are other options available. Main one as posted above, why do tickets need to be sent individually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulboy 2,521 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 There used to be a cheaper option which you still had to sign for can't remember what it was called now but used to be about 65p extra which covered goods up to £30 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is other compannies out there as well who do signed for delivery at half the price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club will be getting a favourable discount on the Special Delivery service (£6.45 for you or I posting a single letter, but cheaper rates if you are posting in bulk). It's a rip-off, plain and simple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't need to be delivered before 1200 tomorrow and the value isn't any where near £500. However, if the tickets aren't going to be reprinted, then SD seems the only option as they can find the ticket/s if lost, as 1st class don't record where the package is, just that its been signed for when delivered. Looks from the prices though that someone is trying to make a couple of quid per ticket. Not best practice but its generally the done thing now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieCooperMemorial 33 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If you have 3 season books in your own name, then the tickets will be sent in one envelope. if the season books are in different names then the tickets will be sent to the individual holders Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your ticket gets lost and the last tracking point was the mail depot, Royal Mail won't bust a gut to find it for you. The chances are you're still going to be left with no ticket and just a refund from Royal Mail. The club probably pay a few quid at most for their special delivery fee per envelope, and although I realise they have to cover costs it's still a rip-off.

JCDBigBear 10,865 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I have 3 STs but in 3 names. I will be collecting mine at the Ticket Office.
