Shrewsbury Town trying to cut the queues
Shrewsbury Town chief executive Brian Caldwell believes the new ticket office can help the club deal with supporter congestion.
A number of Salop supporters were stuck in queues to make Sunday's 12.30pm kick-off with Hibernian, but Caldwell is confident the club can improve.
He told the club's website: "We definitely need to make sure we are better organised in the future, if I'm honest.
"Hopefully, the new West Stand ticket office will take 50 per cent of the pressure off the main ticket office.
"One thing we have to remember is that the Hibs game was a non-season ticket holder game and the crowd was bigger than we expected."
The Greenhous Meadow's West Stand office is to be opened on Saturday for the League One opener against Milton Keynes Dons.
Caldwell added: "You always to try and get people to buy in advance and commit to the game as it allows us to prepare for the game better.
"The ease of buying a ticket beside the turnstiles at the West Stand will speed up entry to the stadium and should make the whole process a lot easier for supporters."
"We will have two windows for buying tickets and one for uplifts (collections) in the new ticket office by the West Stand.
"We have found around 50 per cent of supporters who walk up on match-days buy tickets for the West Stand so, hopefully, that will alleviate half of the problem."
