If you have to make a video on how to use your ticketing website, then I would suggest that the website might need a tweak or two... put your customers first!
Trent Bridge Ticketing video Sometimes technology isn't always people friendly.
It's a shame that they didn't make a video in 2021 with those social distancing ticket purchase rules - there were more flaws in the process than in the Burj Khalifa.

Help Shape the Future of Cricket
Northamptonshire have recently circulated this survey, as sponsored by the ECB. The questions seem very familiar and "loaded", so are likely to have been the basis of the Trent Bridge flawed survey which gave some people the ammunition to suggest that The H*ndred is wholeheartedly welcomed by everyone, that members prefer to watch championship cricket in February and that Wednesday August 21st 2026 is the best day to stage the whole of a streamlined/reduced Metro Bank Cup competition. In other words they were able to bend the results to fit their agenda.
It has been suggested that we might fill in his survey with the knowledge of how members have been treated at Trent Bridge, answering accordingly...
We are dedicated to ensuring that the Memberships we offer at Northamptonshire County Cricket Club meet your expectations, are accessible and crucially enable us to grow and diversify over time.
We’re currently taking part in a gamewide review of the membership offering in England & Wales with the ECB, and want to ensure that everything we do aligns with our goal of growth whilst making cricket the most accessible sport in England & Wales. As such we need your help!
We would really appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to complete the short survey below. Your thoughts and opinions will help shape the future of our game and ensure we’re creating an experience that welcomes all fans.
All responses will be aggregated and so we will not be able to identify you from your answers unless you give us permission to contact you.

Pravda sent this out to members yesterday as they are looking to flog International tickets next month...
Nottinghamshire memberships for the 2026 season will go on sale on at 10am on Tuesday 26 August, with another splendid cricketing summer in store.
Prices for all membership types have been frozen for the second year in a row, with our memberships remaining one of the best value offerings in the land.
Those who secure membership for 2026 will also be able to enjoy first access to international tickets at our home, with tickets going on sale to 2026 members at 10am on Tuesday 2 September....
How many duoes will there be in the Blast fixtures 2026 - will you be duped?
Or using another metaphor,

Simply don't renew
ReplyDeleteThat's one answer anonymous, but that solves nothing more than saving a bob or two for the individual. Look at Lancashire, they've been
Deletehaemorrhaging members over a number of seasons, but their leadership don't appear to care about that. It only bites when executives are held to account for their decisions - that's why it's important that all Notts members participate in the current EGM votes. If you weren't a member anonymous, you wouldn't have a vote.
You make good sense. As usual I might add.
DeleteBut with no pavilion. Less games - which they voted for. It would have been a gesture to slightly reduce membership fees for next season.
The extra cash from the hundred would hardly be dented.
Arguably those running the club need to offer some good will to existing members - what price do you put on that anonymous? Is this an opportunity missed or are price hikes for on the day ticket purchasers on the cards for 2026 (again)?
DeleteWith potentially 1 four Day game and a T20 gone for home revenue. Yes Match Day prices will possibly rise. Which will lower attendance specially at the T20. Those fans may then put that money into a trent Rockets ticket. Regarding membership reduction maybe the price of a T20 game for members renewing?
DeleteOn the day tickets are sold to purchasers mainly from in or around NG2 (for T20) whereas TR tickets are bought in advance by folk that are largely not locals or even Midlanders (if we can even identify as that being a thing). A price reduction for renewing members would have been a goodwill gesture - an opportunity missed, as prices are now set.

ReplyDeleteI reckon 2026 Membership fees have been frozen for one main reason . It’s quite possible the “ new” pavilion will not be finished in time for the 2026 season . Does anyone know the projected finishing time scale -? Allowing for a mild winter and a following wind .
The one all important target for the remainder of this season is to try and win the County Championship . It looks a little unlikely but the weather may intervene . Come late September with fading light etc you just never know.
Before the first sledge hammer was swung, Members were told that the project would take 15 months. Until only very recently, the meticulous taking down of the old had still been taking place. Where that 15 months starts may not have been at the beginning of the process back in February because I'd be astonished if it's even weather tight in eight months time, let alone completed, fitted out with all of those lord knows whats.
DeleteIf the weather has gone into Autumn mode, then points in the bag become more important. Surrey have the advantage, winning games with the Kookaburra has swung it their way. We shouldn't be downhearted: 1/ when we beat Surrey at at he Oval, it'll all look different 2/at least we're not looking over our shoulder everytime another county registers a point.
82 NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteAlthough we are not now part of the Blast and Metro Cup stages at least the season is not “ dead” . There is still everything to play for Championship wise . Notts are 7/1 to win the title and I think that’s well worth a £5 investment .
Ref the Pavilion development . It seems a far bigger project now than it seemed at the turn of the year . There seems to be an awful lot to do in the space of not many months. I wonder if the work carried out so far is on the planned timescale of the re build ?

ReplyDeleteI RECKON even Albert Einstein would struggle to understand all the various Somerset memberships and their benefits on an escalating financial basis . Interestingly they offer LIFE MEMBERSHIP quite freely .
Notts used to do this a good few years ago but I have not seen them offering life memberships recently . Are they still available. At 82 would it be worth me getting one . ? Might be a good deal for Notts but not for me ?
