ID checks for away tickets


i do agree but this 'last minute' thing seems to be a bit overegged imo.

what i'm saying is that i don't abuse the system. if you think it's fine then crack on.
It could be abused for sure but that's why a 3 times per season limit seems sensible, but in a crowd of 3000 theres always going to be a few who just cannot make it because something has happened in the last 24 hours. Hopefully nobody gets banned but those who abuse the current system will think twice and hence the checks will have the desired effect. It'll take a couple of seasons before guys with lower points will feel the benefit but it's a start. I only hope that they're doing the same with the Corporate/staff tickets etc
 
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.
Class that mate. I'm sure whoever got that ticket deserves to go more than someone with loyalty points who attends every home game.
 
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...
Thing is it isn't even clear what is classed as ID

For example is a bank card enough with the name on etc?

Imo

First strike - warning, second strike - points wiped

I know there will always be instances of people being ill etc but unfortunately in those circumstances people are just going to have to let the ticket go unused.

I'm not sure going unused will help. They'll consider that as youve passed it on and the buyer has been told to not turn up.
Just asking. I carry nowt. Never have. Just whatever needed to get money out / pay for stuff.
In the olden days that's what a wallet was for ;-)

Which is why I've gone so far as to submit an AskSAFC ticket this afternoon stating I'm ill and won't be going. Has to cancel all arrangements yesterday.
 


Same thing happening for City fans travelling for the New Year’s Day game.
 
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?
Id think hardly anyone takes id out tbh !.I only ever take my phone.

Thing is there has to be some sort of system as unused ticket doesn't automatically equal passed on

What if you break down on way there/there's an accident and stuck in traffic etc

Looks like you've probs summed your actually self up in 3 words.

"Who the hell doesn't have any form of ID"

Me. Im down City tomorrow and wont have any ID on me.
Nor will i carry any as I dont need too.

End of
 
With out going through the full thread what about the branches? I very rarely get the seat that’s on my account, tbh I don’t think Iv ever got it 🤦😂
 
I get that but then it makes it unfair for those of us who can’t use the loyalty system
Unfortunately when you've got sold out stadiums and sold out season tickets, they aren't going to award high demand away tickets to a non season ticket holder who can't attend regularly.

Thats not fair either.
