ID checks for away tickets


Is this to stop people collecting loyalty points by giving their season ticket to someone else??
Of course!
Shouldnt be an issue as id think most adults will have a driving license in their wallet/purse.
A lot of folks (like me) don't carry a wallet. And even if I did my pink, paper, photo-less, driving licence wouldn't fit in it...🙄

Putting this out the night before stinks.

Our lass hasn’t. If it was communicated properly she’d have her passport on her right now.

She tends not to need her passport to attend an away game.

Vile. We found out at wetherby service on the way over here. Thankfully no email, but honestly they’re thoughtless

Aye they should be plenty of notice, and maybe a photo of the original document would suffice.
 
i always thought that once the tickets are on sale the date can't be changed, only the time. i stand to be corrected mind.

You could be right, but people can fall ill, have their rotas changed at work, can’t afford it at the time, etc, there’s plenty of reasons you can miss a match.

Your logic is banning someone for passing a ticket on.

i would if it's not passed on to someone who has the relevant number of points and has missed out. just about every away game this season has seen a few tickets appear late on which i'm assuming will be returns and will be correctly allocated, not given to a 'mate' it's no different to these facebook pages touting numbers and whatnot.

My uncle was due to go to Anfield on Wednesday, he fell ill, he has poor health. His ticket was passed on to another branch member who had his name down on a reserve list, this was done last minute, just before the supporters bus left.

Do you think my uncle should be banned?
 
So can you not screenshot these tickets, and scan in with them?

One of the lads son is in a different tier to him. But has downloaded it to his phone.
 
Don't really mind this.

Away tickets are on lockout for the foreseeable future.

If the same 3k people are going to get the tickets with no one else having a chance, it's only fair to try to ensure those are the people actually attending the game.

Suggestions like having a small percentage of tickets held back for a ballot etc are mer with even more scorn, I feel for young lads just coming of age now who won't have the chance to experience away games with their mates.

I'm sure back in the day you used to be able to apply for tickets, they'd dish them out based on loyalty points, but you'd still get a point for applying. They should think about something like that because in a few years time they are going to have 3k people on 60 points and everyone else on zero.

yes, he should've handed it back to the club. what's this 'reserve list'? that's laughable. no wonder they're doing id checks when the branches are less than trustworthy.
hope your uncle is on the mend by the way.

Is there a process for giving your ticket back ?

If my car brakes down today, is there some way I can officially give my ticket back to the club to sell on ?

Because if I was to forward it on to someone who is in Manchester without a ticket who is looking for a ticket , I could get my season ticket banned .. I'm not sure the punishment fits the crime
 
Sure the mags when they started this just had staff check on approach to turnstiles, raking seconds, rather than forcing folk to ticket office.

Slight concern as bar old trafford where i get freebies im unlikely to qualify for away tickets again so need second hand ones.

Slap on the wrist probably fine unless it becomes a regular thing.
