Disaster Averted! (1 Viewer)

[shmmeee]

Just went to look for my ticket. Can't remember where I put it. Spend a good half hour turning the house upside down, then my 4 year old says "What are you looking for Daddy?" "my football ticket lovely, it was here but now it's not". "oh, mummy took a big bag of rubbish out of there today".

Leg it outside, dig through bin, find crumpled ticket at the bottom of one of the bags!

Phew. Scariest hour of my life. Appreciate managing to get a ticket even more now.

Jesus, Shmmeee. That must have been a nightmare. Similar things have happened to me in the past. The problem is I always look for stuff at the last minute.

Just as my daughter piped up I was about to post a "can I get my ticket reprinted" thread, but I knew the answer was no

you could get it reprinted, which of course leaves the horrible exploit of people selling their tickets then getting them reprinted, I really hope it hasn't happened to much or its going to be choas tonight. I'm sure some of the people who have received other peoples tickets will have sold them.

I was going to say if it was a goner you could go up with your confirmation number, but I remembered that's people who haven't had theirs sent out.

On the plus side, this is you:

Could the club not make the original ticket void so it doesn't work if people request reprints?

Sounds like the time I got some cash out to pay for a new boiler, about 3k and had it in my wallet. Came down and saw the dog lying there like a pimp surrounded in it and shredded wallet Only 2 x £20's were unusable thankfully.

It is making me paranoid I don't know where mine are (at home) while Im at work though!

not sure how it works, quite possibly, that wouldn't stop choas though, there will just be very upset people who have brought tickets from fans and cant get in.

I doubt it. The tickets I got yesterday had no barcode on them for scanning, so looks like it back to the old style, rip off the stub. Would be impossible to detect duplicates at the gate.

Cash? Sounds like you weren't paying VAT on the work!

Friday is bin collection day for me, if my kids had told me their mum had put it out with the rubbish, well I don't care to think what might have happened. Is it all women that can't just leave things where they are, forever moving things from the place you leave them and then not remembering where they put them, and when she tells me to pray to St Anthony arrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhh
