Remove the ticket yourself when you get to the operator, that's all you have to do. It was the people like you who passed the whole book to the operator who then had to find the correct ticket that caused the delays.

Good point. I've always done it like that. Simply find the right ticket when you are a couple of people away and tear out in front of the operator. Doesn't need to take any longer than not taking your book.

As someone else mentioned the stewards said to those in the queue, do not take the voucher out yourself, let the turnstile operator do it. I presented my book with the voucher sticking out to make it easier for them.

50086_1357229109.jpg [b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

Me too. I do it religously now after the missus and me got our tickets mixed up back in 2003. She went in using mine at the penultimate game. Unfortunately she also ripped out voucher 14 or whatever. Wouldn't be so bad except it was for the last ever (proper) game at Wilderspool. Club sorted it thank god. Saved me about 25 years in prison*
*or whatever you get for murder these days.

But why must the operator see you do this? It doesn't mean it's your ticket. On the many occasions I've given my ticket away when I can't get the game, I give a mate the book and he uses it. So ripping the ticket in front of them out or just handing in a ticket makes no difference.
It says ADULT and JUNIOR on respective tickets, so if they can't distinguish the difference with reading it on the ticket, what difference will showing the book make where it just repeats what the ticket says.
I always rip mine out at the turnstyle, it's just a habit, but don't see the difference one way or the other and can't see the point of creating queues like they did yesterday.

| Ok then, the club has said bring your season tickets. A steward told you not to take it out. People think it would be better to remove the voucher for the turnstile operator but have the booklet there (maybe even have voucher sticking out of the booklet). Rather than complain on here, make the suggestion to the club....add your name to that of those...errrr...the one that has. They aint stupid, they have a reason, if your solution will work in conjunction with clubs aims then everybody is happy.
Re closed turnstiles...I known a couple of the people who normally work turnstiles at the club have been ill recently so maybe they couldnt make it..and the club has been asking for anybody who might be interested in working on the turnstiles to contact them.

Because i believe that some of the season ticket booklets contain identical tickets but the covers are different (for Junior/students/adults).

So you already do what is asked and have done for some time, and you think it's a bad idea for other poeple to do it because it caused a queue?
Interesting logic.
How many of those people who didn't know what to do, will do at the next game to make the queue go faster?

| I've always taken the full book with me since 1993, so no difference for me. I ripped my own ticket out and handed it over, no problems there either.
The season ticket book doesn't say anything about not ripping out your own ticket. It just says about presenting the correct voucher and having the voucher book. So stewards walking up and down the line, you were wrong.
To replace the current turnstiles with credit card style season tickets, bar coded tickets, automatic turnstiles costs around what a Myler or Atkins cost, maybe even more. To recoup the investment would take ages, it might be something they look at if the stadium is ever expanded.

The last paragraph is what I've been saying for ages, maybe some would prefer that.

I agree with you (Looks like we're in the minority though but hey, this is still a free country). The word Petty springs to my mind.
Respect your fans Warrington.

People were not told to do what I did, they were told to leave the ticket/book intact by the stewards going down the line. I never said it was a good or bad idea, I just think it's pointless, especially as people were queing for 20 mins, something I don't remember doing in all the time at the HJ. You either have a junior ticket or an adult ticket, a South stand ticket or one for the other stands. If the operators can't tell what it's supposed to be from the ticket, then the book will be no use either.
