Cardiff City FA Cup Final Ticket Shambles
What a complete and utter farce the latest city scheme for tickets. The club have initially decided that they will be accepting postal applications only for a while before people are allowed to go down to Ninian Park in person to by tickets (on a stand by stand basis). So later today along with probably at least 10,000 other people my full name, address, date of birth and full credit card details will be in the post hopefully on its way to the city ticket office.
If i was less than honest person working somewhere I would be rubbing my hands at this opportunity, if someone wants to dip there hands into a few envelopes out of 10,000 odd then they have access to £1,000 of pounds plus my full identity.
Why can we not have a secure online ordering service which would also automatically distinguish between ambassadors, season ticket holders etc. Pop my fan number in, address and hey presto the system knows I am an ambassador, job done. ok, ok such a system would discriminate against people with no internet access but hey this is the modern world!
As it stands if my application does get though and is not intercepted then the ticket office staff have an administrative nightmare.
A few applications will have multiple applicants as well possibly with varying membership types, eg ambassadors, season ticket holders for next season etc. The staff have to sift through these as well.
Here is hoping that:
- My application is not intercepted
- The office staff can work out what the hell is going on
- Its not yet another Cardiff City Cock Up
