NB: For people picking up Wasps tickets for other people

[quote="Grumpy Old Man"]Collected tickets for four people at lunchtime, no problems. They had two people on, it was well orgainsed and moved quickly (with the exception of those who wait until they are collecting tickets to write the cheque

)[/quot

Guilty as charged your honour....

You're kidding me! Anyone who can access the website now can get tickets. We went to the hassle of collecting everyone's ticket for the guy who was collecting them.

Not that I am affected but Donny is surely right. Every tom, dick and harriet (provided he/she is a STH him/herself) with access to the LR site can roll up and claim to be collecting tickets for other STHs. Having gone to all the trouble of putting "foolproof" arrangements in place, it is ridiculous if LR is not taking basic precautions against such acts.

The email that I telling me that I'd won said nothing about having to bring along my season ticket.

For what is is worth I was not criticizing Aine.
The Guy had his own season ticket and a list of names and season ticket numbers. Also all the season ticket numbers were written on the back on the cheque, so it would be possible to figure out if somebody collected tickets that they should not have.

Only if they could also guess the names. If it's like the 6N tickets they'll have names and numbers on envelopes. In this case I'd give Aine the benefit of the doubt - she was just trying not to be a jobsworth.

Limey, I think the email did not mention the need to bring the swipe card, but the web-site did. May also explain why Aine was being so accommodating.

Maybe I was too quick to judge

. The Branch have generally distinguished themselves with their handling of the ticket distribution for this match for which there are numerous plaudits on this site. I too wrote to Aine to thank her and LR for the way they treated Exiles likew me who were successful in the draw.

Well you would not be the first on this site!

And don't mind me - I'm just keeping Aine sweet as I haven't picked up my tickets yet.

apparently it was very efficient. Sorry, my collector was one of the ones writing cheques. My Dad didn't believe they wouldn't take a card so waited 'til he got there to write the chicken. He was very impressed with the whole set-up.

So he didn't have a card with him and he was able to collect your tickets? Something like that could very well be needed by my good self tomorrow.

I meant a bank card not the season ticket which he did have with him.

Ok, just picked up Wasps tickets and my cards were not even asked for, which is probably just as well as I'd left them at home.

Not that I'm picking them up, but I spoke to Aine on the phone on Monday, and I've just got my ticket in the post this morning.

Am a very happy girly

Typical Tara. Not interested in details.

Just back from picking them up - in and out in about one minute. Wasn't even asked for the cards either....
