What’s annoying is those who had chances to go when it went to zero points and didn’t bother now it’s the premier league and all of a sudden they want to go. Back of the queue you get.
Obviously not everyone’s the same and situations are different but plenty just couldn’t be arsed in league one days etc.

I text one of the lads who has a season ticket, he puts the feelers out. If there's a ticket they send it via text, or someone else who's coming down brings the physical ticket with them and I pick it up before the match. It's a relatively simple process.
Digital tickets can be added to the wallet on your phone.

I assume you just send the link to anyone
Then if you get pulled for an ID check ticket is cancelled and when you go to away ticket office they have your details to match the ID
I suspect not too far in the future all PL tickets will be delivered via an app with frequently changing QR codes etc then the only way to share is to trust someone with your login details

So if someone has 80 points (earnt from attending games themselves) and cant make a game and they pass their ticket onto a family member they get banned?
Thats absolutely nonsensical (as well as being a disgrace) and would come back to shoot the club in its foot. There would be a decent amount of empty seats every away game. You should absolutely be able to pass on tickets in instances where you are unable to attend last minute. A pragmatic approach is essential. So allow people 1 or 2 games to skip a game and pass onto friend or relative.
So people on 40 points (be even higher for allocations less than 3k) have the same chance of getting an away ticket as those on zero and sacked the club off during league 1 and championship days? Aye that seems really fair that. Again, could shoot the club in the foot as those on 0 wouldn't be bothering should we go down and maybe those on decent points that get forced out may decide not to bother too.20% of ticket allocation to go into a ballot for all season ticket holders has been brought up apparently
Only sensible.

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.

Yeah there has to be some bend in the rules - one or two transfers a season is fine provided the person you are transferring to gets the point instead of you.
Any more than that and suddenly people would be ill/working/have to look after their sisters dog at very short notice every other week

Yeah i agree with that. But it would be nice if the club could say what the position is so everyone is clear. Nobody really has a scooby do what will happen if a one off. I suspect you'd get a snotty message from the club but a bit of clarity would be good.

I don't think they have even said what is acceptable ID for anyone picked for an ID check
I think others have asked the question about returns/transferring tickets and, like you say, got an arsey response from Sandra in the ticket office

Utter rubbish. 70 points is phase 1 for every game this season so how do you work that outWhy would I whinge. I live in London and don’t have a SC so I benefit from the current set up. More ID checks means less ticket availability for me.
I know that it’s a big enough “issue” that obtaining away tickets with zero points is easier than obtaining them with 70.
Keep up.

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.

Relatively easy to pick up a ticket for a London game the day before at face value (or less).
I’m not sure you understand how this works.
when we go to the rugby at twickenham this is what happens with the qr code changing all the time.

Its not easier than buying them yourself in the first place is it? Hyperbolic rubbish, hes spot on.

The PL is working towards dynamic QR codes which are, as you say, standard at other events.
First stage was getting all clubs on digital tickets and I think we’ll see a relatively rapid change over to this system.
It wasn’t a first offence from what I was told.
