Ticket office sort it out

Tue Jan 18, 2011 10:58 am

Considering we are playing Stoke at home in the FA cup you would think that the ticket office would be open for business especially as many late tickets will be sold today. I have tried ringing them from 10.30 onwards and have failed to get through for the past 20 mins. The line rings and is not answered. Us fans surely deserve a better service.

Probably very busy answering people like yourself - keep trying. Or if your near enough go down. You wont have any problem getting a walk up ticket tonight anyway. Just get there a little earlier than you normally would.

Thats good advice but my point is that on days when we have important games and need to sell the tickets you would think that the ticket office would be adequately staffed.I am just wondering how many fans have rang several times this morning and have just given up in frustration.This service is clearley in need of improvement.

Nothing wrong with my phone. I have finally got through on the 22nd attempt and 35 minutes. Although previous good advice suggested to go to the ground early and sort it out, my point is that we shouldn't have too because we have the technology to charge up our season tickets and stadium cards to avoid the hassle. I just hate to think that we may be losing out on potential ticket sales because we can't be bothered to adequately staff the ticket office.

Not sure how to do it but when booking something as important as tickets, I like to actually talk to someone just to make sure. Although your suggestion might be a good alternative, It still doesn't make up for the fact that our ticket office telephone system should be improved.

The online ticket site is

https://www.eticketing.co.uk/cardiffcity/default.aspx

Create an account, if you're a ST holder it gets automatically added. Used it a few times, never had any problems as yet, touch wood.
