ID checks for away tickets

I am all for them tbh but then I don't buy and sell on tickets so it wouldn't affect me.

Rightly or wrongly it is against the ticket terms and conditions to move your ticket on

Wrongly.

Nobody passes on tickets and the club should stop interfering. If people who’ve put in the miles want to sort out a mate or whatever, should be no problem. It’s their ticket so they can do what they want with it.
 
This may end up being a bigger issue than any of us thought. Talking to a West Ham mate who is most definitely in the "know" reckons that 40 West Ham fans have been banned from the next 6 games after getting caught out on the ID front at their recent away match at Man Utd
 
I believe when a branch gets tickets, normal tickets are bunched together as well as the various concession tickets being bunched together. The branch then allocates tickets to individuals so that parent and child are in seats next to each other. How will this work in the future or are the ticket office going to take on the additional work?

It might be their ticket but it’s subject to the terms of sale. Just because you think it’s wrong makes absolutely no difference at all.

I think you’ll find most agree with me. People who’ve put the miles in during the lower league days have earned the right to do whatever they want with their ticket.

Happened to a couple of the skunks I know after our cup game. They’d given tickets to friends etc and got 3/4/5 month bans but allowed to keep tickets for next season. It’s coming in strong for us all, the scum have been ahead of the curve

Judging by the amount of fans I've seen on social media today selling Brighton tickets, the ID checks don't seem to be deterring many people!

The football authorities/clubs are clearly demonstrating that those rights have not been earned no matter how often you say it and no matter how many agree with you. Terms of sale will need to be changed, that’s the campaign needed not just refusal of the facts.

Totally different now. 40 tickets are ringfenced for the branches to go in and purchase them so the branch is sat together. If a ticket is allocated to different to the ticket holder ID and they're subject to an ID check the same regulations apply.

ID checks have not come in, as I mentioned on here at the time, I spoke to a supervisor steward at City and he said it was a "City thing", not to say they wont come in, in time.

However as we stand ID checks for Sunderland away games are only a "Thing" if the home club decide

You don’t appear to have read the thread tbh as that’s exactly what I think should happen. See below.

“It’s their ticket so they can do what they want with it”

“People who’ve put the miles in during the lower league days have earned the right to do whatever they want with their ticket.”


My comments were mainly in response to the above factually incorrect statements. Any campaign would need to be developed with a logical, reasoned proposal why the system should be changed.

I emailed the club to ask and they replied saying they will be doing more checks to ensure people aren’t selling on their tickets and fans should be prepared to carry ID to away games so don’t think it’s a home club thing

As I said it is a home club thing at the minute, Sunderland have communicated nothing about fans needing to carry IDs.
I don't carry ID as it is and won't be starting, so that's easy enough. Ha
