Away tickets - Loyalty points . . .

[BarnesPark]

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

To the extent that we don’t have to log on at a specific date/time, wait in a queue etc. then I’d argue it’s easier.

I booked tickets for the West Ham game in the home end as it was kids for a quid and I was taking my 2 boys. If I’d decided to be in the away end, I could have sorted that on the Friday.

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.

good news, how will you get tickets you don't deserve?

The first part doesn't really happen. If you're phase one, you get a day or two to go on and buy it. No queues and can also choose where you want to sit.

You're also only talking about London games. What about the other 13 games?

You’re struggling.

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.

You said easier than being on 70 points. It’s not. Utter waffle.

You clearly don’t understand how it works

when we go to the rugby at twickenham this is what happens with the qr code changing all the time.

Silverstone is the same in the F1. Tbh im surprised the prem isn’t already doing it

 

[BarnesPark]

good news, how will you get tickets you don't deserve?

I’ve said before, I don’t mind sitting in the home end too much as I have friends who support all the London clubs so that’s easy to sort.

The person who “doesn’t deserve” a ticket is the one buying it with no intention of attending a game btw.

Good luck with that at the sol, it's an internet dead zone for the vast majority.

It wasn’t a first offence from what I was told.

If you're daft enough to get caught more than once then you're an idiot to be honest

Which is a very very small number of people

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

No they haven't. It really shouldnt be hard to do so. And tbf there will be people that dont have photo id.

 

[BarnesPark]

You said easier than being on 70 points. It’s not.

OK.

The day before the Arsenal game, you take your 70 points and try to buy a ticket. I don’t think you’ll get one.

Other people can decide last minute to go to a game and get it sorted.

So it’s easier my way, right?

I don't think you need an Internet connection

 

[L18SFC]

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)

It’s the law though so I can understand it. If I get caught doing 90 on the motorway I’m not getting a warning first

 

[BarnesPark]

How many? I hadn’t realised there were any numbers published on that.

….or did you just make that up?

Why the fuck would I be waiting till the day before? That’s last minute and not easier than having it 3 weeks in advance.

So as I already have my Arsenal ticket and you don’t (and have zero guarantee of one) my way is easier

 

[Hawkings Boots]

I suppose (a bit like everything) if the punishments for doing it were well communicated then people might be more reluctant to actually do it

Full dynamic qr codes usually require it. Good news if whatever the PL are looking at does not though.

By the fact I do every game and see the same faces at every game.

I could say you’re making it up that loads do it. Easy this isn’t it?

How will this work out for you for Newcastle away?

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.

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
