One of my mates has been to every away game this season but is giving tomorrow a miss, 2 away games in the space of a few days is expensive for a lot of people in the month of December.

And as has been said. The Mags have a process in place where-by you can pass an away ticket on 3 times a season

I’m a c***. You could have passed it on to me on a serious note note I totally get what is happening. Having been a recipient of branch tickets myself in the past, I guess it’s just tough shit. Oh well it was good while it lasted. With regards the id thing, who the hell doesn’t have any form of id with the nowadays?

What form of id you carry ? I have a phone . If that counts

 

[Forrest Gump]

Could be covered by necessary disclosure/legal compliance, but I'm not 100% sure.

You’ve been grassed ! I reckon it’s @Hank Scorpio

What form of id you carry ? I have a phone . If that counts

I heard it’s blood and spunk tests

They are trying to make it so the loyalty system works as intended. If you buy tickets and don't attend games you shouldn't get the point

I get that but then it makes it unfair for those of us who can’t use the loyalty system

 

[Roker-73]

I get that but then it makes it unfair for those of us who can’t use the loyalty system

Why could you not use the loyalty system

 

[spitfire]

What form of id you carry ? I have a phone . If that counts

I have a wallet with a driving licence in it, bank cards etc.

I'm glad it's started but as usual communication from the TO is shocking

It’s a City thing mate. I’m guessing the club had no choice.

Did he buy a ticket then sell it to someone with few loyalty points / who isn't a ST holder?

I get that and have no issues with the checks at all. It's more about what if people have email issues so don't see it and travel without ID etc.

They could have least put a post on the website, across social media etc. At least try and make it as visible and possible and going forward put it on as a note on the away ticket sales page too

Do you not have an account on the ticketing site? Why would you not have loyalty points?

 

[Hawkings Boots]

While I don't think there is any questioning of people's loyalty, used properly the black cats point system rewards the right people and this is another step in ensuring that the tickets end up in the hands of the people who should have them

No SC = no loyalty points.

 

[Jasper]

Well done the club for giving us this thread on a supping night

 

[InsomniacAttack]

No SC = no loyalty points.

I didn't know that.

 

[Hawkings Boots]

I didn't know that.

Yep first criteria for away tickets is having a season ticket

If for example you gave up your ST you would still keep any points (until they fell off via the three year rolling system) and if you picked up a ST within the window then the points would become useful again

No e mail for me - but if my bro (who I'm meeting in Manchester) has had one, he's knackered...He left for the match early pm today as he's at a gig in Holmefirth tonight, then staying overnight at Huddersfield.

Bit of a flawed system like...

 

[SteveB]

I have a wallet with a driving licence in it, bank cards etc.

Is that normal? Just asking.
Nowadays I got nowt but phone.
Previous had cash card .

Never ever been out the house with a driving licence unless needed to hire a car abroad.

 

[TradingPlaces]

Did he buy a ticket then sell it to someone with few loyalty points / who isn't a ST holder?

Yes, he gave it to one of the lads. Ultimately, people who have made it into the phase one bracket due to attending lots of games are not just going to give it up.
