Last week i bought a Barnsley (A) ticket via phone. I was advised that if i lost the ticket they would not be able to issue a duplicate – which was fine. The ticket however has never arrived. I phoned the ticket office today to inform them of this and was told that somehow it is my fault is has never been received???, i can’t have a refund AND will have to buy another ticket.
I told them this is illegal (which it is) they told me my complaint lies with Barnsley – which of course it doesn’t as i made a contract with the Latics ticket office to purchase a ticket from them for the sum i paid. Anyway, i will now have to pursue a refund through the small claims court for the ticket that never arrived and buy another on the day (i don’t live in Wigan).
Just a word of warning as I was informed apparently this will happen a lot this season due to away clubs ticketing policies.
Also, is it possible to buy one on the day?
