Whilst I and others on here have benefitted from tickets passed around, on balance I think I'd prefer them to rigidly enforce (like the European games) as it's fair and would be a net benefit to everyone (me included).
Even the Villa Europe away game they checked photo id in the turnstile queue.
I totally agree, but their current 'enforcement' system is going to catch what? A handful of people per season?
I guess it might act as a deterrent which should make some difference.
I get that people will always hand tickets on to mates etc, a bit unfair but that’s life.
But what pisses me off is the cunts who buy tickets to keep up their loyalty points and have no intention of going or finding anyone that wants to go. I guess that’s a big problem of the £30 price cap.
The new guidance should stop that at least. If your ticket isn't scanned at the away entrance, you don't get the points.
I don't know there was a lot of that as most ends seemed full.
But I have sat (stood) next to people who had bought tickets off (of) 'mates' in the '400 club' for £100 each. Don't agree with that.
Maybe it wasn’t too often but Man City midweek was one, Brighton on a Sunday another.
And touting like that that is very low and deserved of a ban for me.
Didn’t the club clamp down on people buying tickets but not turning up a few years ago? Chelsea away the season before last (I think), we bought tickets but ended up not being able to go at the last minute, and we got an email saying that our tickets hadn’t been scanned and we’d be in the shit if it happened again.
