Fair enough, it's just that Shovlar has got it wrong on more than one occasion lately and I just wanted to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Brown Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Talking to someone on Monday who called Poole to book a table in the restaurant for the meeting next week. Six of them wanted to book at the quoted price of £44. They were told that they would have to book through the Bournemouth International Centre. So they called the BIC and were told that indeed the tickets were £44 PLUS £4 PER TICKET booking fee PLUS a one off admin fee of £2.50 So on top of 6 tickets, £26.50 on rip off admin. Just what the hell does anybody do to justify £26.50 to put 6 tickets in a bleedin envelope ??? Now I have no idea who gets this money but that is truly awful The 6 of them decided on that basis not to bothwe with the meeting at all Fans being ripped off me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Fans being ripped off me thinks Where have you been Chris? We were told weeks ago when we made that observation that we were trolling.........when will you learn that Poole are beyond critisisim? But to be fair, it's not only the biggest prize in speedway (for a few months anyway), but also the biggest rip-off too!!! For the record, I don't hope the meeting is rained off or spoilt in any way, but I really do hope the Poole promotion learn that speedway fans won't be ripped off for a meaningless meeting!!! Expecting, and prepared for the backlash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj350z Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Agree. Hancock was always doubtful and was making pretty feeble excuses for the last month. No loss as he has had his day and his career is almost over. Rather see Sheilds who puts British speedway first and was in the original lineup. Sounds very strange to invite him, in the first place, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max the rebel Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 if this meeting Is off on Sunday is it wright that its on Monday night is this right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Expecting, and prepared for the backlash. Not at all Kev. It's all been argued, debated since the event was announced and as far as I'm concerned at least, people have their own opinions and it's only going over old arguments. Those booking in advance are getting a £6 programme each so it depends on your point of view - if you're part of a party all wanting a programme you're actually a few quid in hand to pay the booking fee. Personally, I prefer now to concentrate on the actual day itself, which as a Poole fan I'm looking forward to big time and more than any other individual meeting in a long time; and despite the best efforts of a few to belittle, or poo-poo the event I refuse at this point to be swayed from that as weather permitting it is lining up to be a great day with a huge crowd.

Expecting, and prepared for the backlash. Sorry Kev, its been the winter and I forget about the Poole thing !! Where I am struggling is why they have to outsource to BIC anyway. One reason and one reason only because BOTH parties can cream more money off the fans. I really don't accept the fact that other sports do it. That is not an excuse and not a reason to do it in our sport Lets hope its not the sign of things to come. We all expect to be ripped off by BSI or whatever they are called now but not be our clubs. Haven't been reading much here for a few weeks so missed the earlier debate about it, apologies for dragging up old ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Personally I think selling tickets through BIC gives a certain amount of status and may also make it noticed by people on the BIC website. I don't see why every attempt by speedway clubs to do anything positive is always seen as ripping people off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a sign of the times i think,it saves the promotion having to employ staff to sell tickets for a one off meeting and fans can but tickets 24/7, unfortunately it comes with a price as all company's need to make profits to stay in bussiness.

Saint Charlie Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I've got my ticket and am looking forward to it. If you don't want to pay the money for a top event then don't. But don't moan about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
