The Mongoose 1,007 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I went to the Legends Game at Fleetwood during the Summer. It was easy to get the tickets and print them out at Home and very little cost. So why can We not have a similar system which would mean not having a £7 delivery fee...or a 1 hour to 2 hour wait for tickets?....Surely it is easy in this day and age?

ElBufalo20 7,826 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Probably costs too much to implement around the stadium. but yeah should be able to print at home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblueoysterbar 19,465 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If people print tickets at home they'd expect to be able to do it for free but to have something like that in place would probably mean the club having to pay someone like Ticketmaster for the system.

K.A.I 36,183 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Maybe I’m stating the obvious but old firm games cunts would just print two tickets off and hope a steward on a turnstile is convinced the barcode won’t scan or something Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Forgery could be an issue especially given some of Scotland's creative criminals. Places such as cinemas do it but then ask for id validation, that would slow the entry process at games. Would also mean little or no control over the hooligan element who invade pitches and are subsequently banned Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangecountry 148 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 ?? I'm sure the idea of printing more than one copy of tickets has been thought of before now. Printing tickets at home is very popular as is having the bar code on your phone scanned. For what it's worth, you can photocopy a ticket's bar code just as easy as you can print 2 copies of tickets off. Same outcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueretro 704 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Why not just give the fans a longer time period to collect the tickets. The tickets should have been available to collect much earlier than 9 days before the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueal 2,117 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Used print at home to tickets for NFL and NBA and it was quick. Same with concerts, hand scanned at the door. Should be used at Ibrox in future. Probably a question of priorities/money Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Would be done in a sandbox environment where you could only print it off once. Would be easily photocopied, but that has already be covered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyc06 6,902 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The only time you ever pay £7 delivery is when the games at Hampden & that's purely because they don't do re-prints, it's not a standard cost for delivery of tickets from Rangers! So even if we did upgrade our system to allow print at home tickets (shite idea btw) you would still get an actual ticket from Hampden for these games, that they still wouldn't do re-prints on & you would still have to pay the £7 delivery fee for!

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,277 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The risk to innocent punters buying sniders is high. The risk of folk with legit tickets not getting in as folk with fakes have would be high. So unless the technology is far better than what we have then original tickets like we have with various security measures currently are the most sensible option. And remember we're discussing other organisations spending money to save fans spending money. Never high on their list of priorities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,259 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 You can print off paper tickets for some stadiums in England. I've used my mobile phone plenty of times too overseas. Much better system - but I would miss collecting ticket stubs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.T.G 10,771 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The problem is the £7. That’s a rip off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wearethepeople72 1,844 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Personally don't think it would work. For all £7 a game is for a maximum of 4 games a season anyway. If folk object to it that much it's easy enough to pickup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
