URSC Ticket Draw
Posted: Fri Mar 03, 2006 2:56 pm
I was speaking to a supporters club member today (he was a bit behind the times to think I was still involved) and he mentioned that he won 2 tickets to the Ireland v Wales game last Sunday.
He'd been contacted by UR on the Tuesday and advised that he could collect his tickets anytime up until Friday lunch time.
Happy to have won and after making arrangements to get to Dublin he then went to Ravenhill on the Friday morning to collect his prize (the right to buy 2 tickets) only to be informed that they had sold the tickets elsewhere the day before.
Gutted after having made arrangements he was extremely disappointed with the supporters club. I was despite what others might think able to convince him that the problem was not of the supporters club making as it was UR responsible for selling the tickets.
This of course raises other questions which I have mentioned elsewhere as to how many of the tickets won by members actually reach them and if they do not want them do they revert to other members or not.
Publishing a list of the club's winners would serve two purposes one it would let members see the benefit and two it would be good PR.
