I cannot answer your question but someone naming himself/herself Grumpy Old Shark posted the following at 11.27 yesterday - [iI also experienced a problem with ticketing ~ I wanted to get a couple of extra tickets for my daughter and a friend so tried to purchase them on-line on Thursday evening but the site was not working despite numerous attempts, so I went to SCS on Friday morning and was rather suprprised to be charged a booking fee even though I was there in person paying with cash??? - if the actual price is £22 please dont say it's £20 then charge a £2 additional fee ~ it annoys customers![/i

The Sale fans do seem to have embraced the change of venue with the best of intentions;some travel some distance for their home games and there is a distinct lack of vitriol for those who keep the club solvent despite being uprooted and their lack of success on the field more recently.

Makes a refreshing change - as a television advert for a cider drink once said.

Have Sale now switched to your ticket sale provider?? Their e-ticketing link no longer seems to work.

I believe ticketline charge 10% handling fee. The club basically has to choose either to absorb that and lose 10%, or pass that on to the fans.

It does seem odd that a Sale fan claimed to have to pay a booking fee in person. Maybe that's a leftover from them using a system other than the stadium's ticketline based one.

Leinster was sold through e-ticketing they've now switch to ticketline for their Aviva premiership games.

the game was a pre-season friendly albeit v the reigning European champions

also they are called Sale Sharks RUFC - not Sale RUFC.
There is a Sale FC (1861) in Sale

Many forum contributors have a series of alternative names for Sale rugby club.

Real Ale 4 pints for £10 at Sale on Saturday. Will this offer be on at the Salford game the previous night?

well the last home game it was £2.00 a pint and then for the two hours before kick off £2.50 which is £10.00 for 4 pints for people who have trouble with their maths, you know who you are. Plus that was for all types of ale.

There was only John Smiths though wasn't there? And I wouldn't really class that as a real ale. It'd be great if the club could get a local brewer in, i.e. Holts - can't see it happening though.

There has been no ale on sale for Salford games, just some poor excuse for "beer".

According to the Stadium Company, the reason why there's real ale on sale for the Sale game when it hasn't been on sale at our games is that Sale simply asked for it...

As someone who is privvy to what has gone on at Stockport County, the renaming of the stands, blocking out of your badge etc is the start of things to come.

I really really didn't want Sale in an RL ground, Brian Kennedy is a piece of work. He doesn't show his face at all in Stockport and it got to the stage where he was getting threats off Stockport fans (not that I condone this)

From another point of view, Sale got a pretty average attendance for their first game, when they play on a Friday night the train is out of the question-and a lot of them use it, I work at Stockport station.

Hopefully the Salford venture won't work for them and another plan of action for them returning to their own town sooner rather than later will come about, stop them going round wrecking other sports clubs.

You wouldn't believe the difference in enthusiasm at Stockport County now that they have hope to move up again.

Hope it works out for you lot, I feel for you.

For people who have trouble with their types of ale, John Smiths and Fosters aren't real ales.
