I would hope people aren't getting a refund and then claiming a free ticket from Bradford but i'm sure they will be a couple that will.

They shouldn't be allowed to, though. Why give a freebie to a person you know is entitled to a refund? I don't get it.

Absolutely, but I would hope they would honour the price of kids tickets as they have gone up substantially to the point that this Co. will be more expensive for the family in total than last Co. meaning the budget ain't there and one kids gonna lose out....'Who want's to go get Daddy a beer kids?!?!?!?!'



RickyF1 - My 45 days isn't up until 24th Feb, the Halifax put a credit on my card 45 Days ago but only received the money back on the 9th Jan. I am going to gamble and go buy my new set of STs today.

I'm the same as you, i am going to go tomorrow and get mine as well as the KR tickets

They don't know that though. These are separate banks with their own rules about what the criteria are[seemingly. Even when the money is given back it is still subject to being re-taken for two months afterwords. It's a fair amount of money and I'm concerned that if I don't get it back [or it's re-called I'll be left high and dry.

Not sure what to do to be honest and I may as well take it as a good reason to give this year a miss - paying C£400 to see us get stuffed every match isn't really an offer that's not to be missed. I'll possibly change my mind, but people who make statements about "[iall[/i season ticket holders" and then renege on it with less than a week before the season starts aren't people I'm totally happy doing business with.

I got mine today. I mentioned re-paying and they were reluctant to take any money. So upshot is once I know I have the money back permanently I'm letting them know and I can look at sponsoring something like a door handle for the amount I'd spend. Or I could wait until 24th when I know I am safe and put it into the RAB player sponsor pot.

Something to think about if we are serious about putting the money back in?

Oh, and Gled was there telling anyone that would listen how much Fev were p1ssed off at Leeds giving us loans.... Must've been on the trail of the latest scoop!

We got our replacement tickets yesterday, is appears there is now a policy to honor these if specifically asked. We always intended to repay the cost of the new tickets out the Bank refunds when/if they come. Quite a few people we know, or have contacted us, are like minded.
The last thing we wanted to do is shortchange our beloved Bulls.

Management might/should be looking at a mechanism to receive these monies in a way that benefits them as VAT and Tax free income. Donations etc.

Well said. I am with you on this which is why I raised the possibility of donating.

I have made a claim to CC coy for 7 tickets which is pending. I have received from the Club some replacement tickets, 5 actually of which 4 were cheaper and one dearer than originally paid.There is no equivalent of the other two tickets which were Flexis for 2 Grandchildren at Uni.

My claim to CC coy may succeed. If it does, I intend to donate the face value of the 5 tickets to my new Bradford Bulls Club to ensure they are not out of pocket.

If my claim is unsuccessful then I am out of pocket. Hope FA doesnt get too upset about supporters trying to do the right thing.

Top man. It would be nice to think anyone getting a freebie AND a refund would do the same. FWIW I reckon pretty much all on here would, but I suspect there's many that wouldn't.


Don't get that, when have I ever spoken against supporters trying to do the right thing?

Latest news I have on this is that, according to my bank [Yorkshire bank, some customers are saying they received an actual physical ticket FROM THE OLD CLUB, and if I have one it should be taken back to the club. The club say that THE NEW CLUB have promised to honour the season ticket part of the old membership. This doesn't tally with my experience as, when I handed in the old receipt with the seat number on it, they simply charged me for the ticket.

QUESTION: [iDoes anyone know if any tickets were ever sent out from the old club[/i? I told the bank that I think this is impossible as they went bust before they could be issued, but they insist they were sent out, and have been [itold so by customers[/i. Anyone on here know someone who received a ticket?

Suspect people saying they received a physical ticket are talking about the receipt, that's usually printed on a ticket blank, that would have been exchanged for the plastic card at collection event which never happened.

This is what i have got and it actually say's on it, RECEIPT ONLY, NOT A VALID SEASON TICKET

That is what I had. I took it with me just to show my seat number, though, for some reason they didn't give me it back. I guess it just binned but I wish I'd got it back now.8

Interesting side issue - just checking my card account on-line and I notice the new season ticket I bought on Wednesday was bought from therfl.co.uk according to the bank? I assume the club is using their account.

That's what I thought. Got mine yesterday and paid via card to a chap sat next to the shop counter using a PC for the transaction. A bit out of the ordinary really. Seems the new owners have more trust in the RFL than me, or maybe not since they have my card details.

Noticed they weren't using chip and pin machines and were putting card details in via laptop presumably same way as if you make a phone purchase. Guess it's a temporary measure while there getting card machines setup. Seem to remember there was a two or three week period delay getting card machines installed under green when they fell out with provider over charges and changed mid season.

Think it takes longer than normal with any new business, which is what they are, of course.

Can now buy tickets on Bulls website, when you click on the ticket you want it takes you to the RFL site

None of this is going to help us escape the idea, perpetuated by fans of some other clubs, that we are the RFLs 'pets'

Still, better than buying a season ticket and finding it was charged to Omar Khan's hotel...

Or the conspiracy theories along the lines of the RFL actually owning the Bulls until proper buyers are found, with ChaLow running the show for them.

Can't see this.

Sod Hall not competent enough and unlike the NRL are not awash with cash to do it

surcharge off before handing the money over. Maybe even adding .5% on for their 'handling charge'?

Why not? It's the RFL. Nothing is impossible. They are paying the wages of players at other clubs aren't they? They do what they like.
