SaintLouBlue Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Just a public service announcement if you have the season ticket books. I went to tear out some tickets to donate to a charity auction today and found what I think may be a fatal flaw to the tickets (at least the ones in the top row). Unlike in the past, they are actually 2 piece tickets. The scanable part on the bottom tears off. Maybe I'm the only one that will have this issue, but when I was tearing out the tickets, I just went down to the first perforation (as I did in the past) and pulled the ticket out. I could easily see people showing up to the first game without the scanable piece. Might be a bit of a cluster as I'm not sure what they'll do in that instance other than send people to the ticket office. There isn't another area to scan if you don't bring that piece of the ticket.

bonwich Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 None here. But it's only Tuesday before opening Friday. They're within the normal standard deviation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for point this out. You did a real service for all of us. As I was tearing my Game 1 ticket out of the booklet, what you cautioned about started to happen. Be careful guys (and gals) in tearing out your tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Yeah it is actually a little confusing. I would have messed it up if I hadn't read this first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 My wife had already cut the tickets off without the bar code attached. We cut the bar codes off and attached them with scotch tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 -is there a reason for that perforation row above the bar code that i am not able to determine? for the folks that don't read this board I can see chaos at the gate when they arrive without the bar code -seems another miss by the ADept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintLouBlue Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 I sent a note to the ticket office the other day. Essentially they said the scotch tape idea will work as that is what I did. Otherwise they said people will have to go to the ticket office. Sounds like I wasn't the only one that reached out about this and they should be somewhat prepared for the issue.

bonwich Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Well, at least this won't be the year when we have lots of newbies showing up who might be put off by such incompetence. I assume they haven't made the leap to 2008 and the ability to print dupes online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cut the bar codes off and attached them with scotch tape. Must have been fun trying to match the little bar codes with the correct tickets for every single game. I did this for one game before I read the thread and definitely wouldn't have noticed unless I read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Pelican Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I too would like to add my belated thanks to SaintLouBlue who brought this up. I went and looked at my tickets after reading his warning. I likely would have messed up (at least the first one) had he not posted this thread. I swear, it's hard being a Billikens fan.

Billikenbooster Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Quote I asked the ticket taker how many bar codes were missing for last night's game. She rolled her eyes and said MANY! This is really going to slow down entrance into games if we ever get a big crowd. mhg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
