As far as I'm aware last season, all Yeovil Town games, you had to purchase tickets in advance, there was no POTG.
As for staffing, this is just my guess, we would need 2 full time staff, plus 3 part time, full time would work out at approx 12k each per annum and the part time would be that on pro rata, so there 42 grand already.
Then the ticketing machine, which has to be of good quality, that can do the job, but I have no idea how much they cost. Add on the materials that go with printing tickets.
Yes before when we have bought tickets there has been no charge added on, this is because it is done in person, and as previously said, if you buy tickets in person then you wouldn't be charged. If, people buy over the internet or over the phone, then someone has to process this, which takes longer than if you buy in person. Therefore costs need to be covered.
At present we don't know how many teams in League 1 will be sending tickets for us to sell in advance, but this is part of the job that will also have to be dealt with, so it's not a case of 6 big games a year and in fact if it does get brought back in house, then people will be able to buy tickets in advance.
As much as everyone was excited when the fixture list came out, IMO it was possibly the worst thing for the club, as it meant 4 big games in less than 2 week, so gives them no time to sort out any teething problems.
TZ is not the easiest thing and there are certain things that need to be sorted out, but it is how it's being dealt with for now. If you're a ST holder then the only games you have to worry about are cup games, and if last years anything to go by, then that's 3 games.
I'm not sticking up for the club, but as someone who goes and helps out, and has dealt with tickets, it's the best option we have in the short term of things.
Alot of you have stood by City, when things weren't going to plan on the pitch, and now you are reaping the rewards for that, so can we please be patient with things off the pitch, as I'm sure they will improve, it just take time
