Who Was To Blame For The Turnstile Fiasco At St Mary's ! 23rd Aug 2021 14:56
There is no doubt that there has been a major problem with the new ticketing system at St Mary's , but where does the blame lie and what could have and should have been avoided in the whole sorry affair. 22

Thing is, it was clear with a week to go, that tickets were late.
So there was plenty of time to formulate plans.
It does seem the club ignored all the indicators and just hoped for best.

according to the steward supervisors at the Kingsland gate the fault lay with the fans who turned up with QR codes on their mobiles.

Should the Ticketing Website not have carried a warning that QR codes were unlikely to work and the evanescent physical season ticket option should have been chosen

Lets face it QR codes a a very new technology

Well, I say let's get out there and tw@t it!

Does anyone have any faith at all left in the club's board? Every summer it's like they all go on holiday and leave some office junior to sort out the ticketing, sponsorship and new kits, etc. Amateurish is an understatement.

Saints are not the only club with the issue, Liverpool have too, and had same issue at pre-season friendlies yet they still had issues again yesterday, so it seems the system is not up to scratch. Didn’t realise Dido Harding was involved with the supply of this equipment

It's not just the issue, it's again the response to it. Just put stewards on the turnstiles and check tickets like the good old days. Not sure what the response was at Anfield, but yesterday stewards just stood there without any direction. Add to this the season ticket fiasco, it's just all totally avoidable. The club can't help the system breaking down. They can help not having a leader to just authorise manual checking of the tickets.

For me i was screwed as i could not make it to town Saturday and was not prepared to get to St. Marys 2 hours pre kick off Sunday.

Lo and behold my ST arrived this afternoon. What is potentially going to 'grate' is the fact that those fans who watched the full 90 minutes (albeit with issues as well) are gonna receive (i suspect) the exact same refund as i and dozens of others who didn't.

Anyway, no point getting wound up about it anymore, i expect nothing less.

Totally agree, just pointing out we’re not the only ones with this problem, and I think the Liverpool situation is worse as this has happened to them on three separate occasions now
