Too long a slog for me that. I’ll stick to the London games.

So its not easier to buy from others than have 70 points is it?

You've realised the original point you made was absolute nonsense and are moving the goalposts.

Maybe the art dealer fellas you pretend to be security for can get you in.

Yeah that will need sorting out for a load of grounds tbh because if you do need an Internet connection you are out of luck as a lot of grounds are Internet dead zones as the masts simply cannot cope with the crowds at PL matches

My phone is a new high end Sony Xperia on Vodafone and is basically bricked as soon as near or inside the sol.

Public one has. Theres loads of others thats password protected. Have a look next time you're there, ones for 'media', 'away team' 'hospitality' etc.

Oh aye no doubt, but I am unlikely to be told the password to any of them. Spoken with Chris Waters a few times but that's the limit of my insider connections.

I just don’t like to plan that far ahead. The Emirates is only 40 minutes for me so no massive planning is required.

Each to their own I guess.

So not easier. Excellent.

See how you get on with your tactic for Mags away and let me know if it was easier than me buying my ticket a month before the game from the comfort of my own living room. Good luck 👍🏻

How will this work out for you for Newcastle away?

Easier though. Apparently

I haven’t realised anything mate. I just prefer to go to games locally this season now that the BCB is £300 a seat and the novelty of the new grounds etc.

All I did was point out that getting tickets off the black market means you can decide last minute to get to a game down here rather than planning 3 weeks in advance.

As I said, that works for me so I’m unsure why you’re being so aggressive.

Fuck around and find out I suppose

That level of punishment for a first offence is a bit harsh like imo (as much as I hate the selling on of tickets) - I reckon a warning for a first offence is enough and points wipe for second offence and then punishment they have had for a third offence is fine if you are stupid enough to get caught three times (assuming you could get a chance to actually buy a ticket with zero points)

At an average of 30-60 checks per game it’ll take years to catch people 3 times imo.

As I said, that works for you.

We don’t all live a life like that where we like all our plans for the next month set in stone and I prefer the flexibility of deciding what I’m doing last minute.

As I’ve said several times, each to their own. Not sure why you’re desperate to convince me that your way of living is better than mine.

Not so astounding really.

People are far more likely to buy tickets to sell on to maintain points while we are in the Premier league for a number of reasons.

1. The demand for tickets is much higher in the premier league so there is less risk of being unable to “move tickets on” while not attending.

2. Tickets for premier league games can be sold on at a premium compared to tickets for games in league 1.

3. Tickets in the premier league are capped at £30 so “buying” a BCP for £30 is more appealing. Attend half the games- pay £60 per game- gain 19 points.

It really is not astounding.

Unlike you to have an opposing view to me.

Either way, people crying like bairns now have sweet FA sympathy from me.
You think all these people with high points were selling tickets for the past three season

Paper tickets delivered the day before or pick up at ground and you need to login on your SAFC page to show who you are (some would still be able to if seller give them details which would stop strangers) or give the QR out the day or day before the match to try and stop people sending it on and the buyer will be a bit more wary to buy.

Christ, it’s football not a ticket to the Kings speech, enjoy your day out with the lads have a few beers, nah we are safc and we want you to make it as unenjoyable as possible.

‘Way of living’ 🤣

Buying tickets to away games legitimately rather than on the black market is easier. Fact

Also when you initially raised it, it was nothing to do with your ‘way of living’ you were arguing it was just easier. And you also started with the passive aggressiveness (‘keep up’) so don’t twist things now
