ID checks for away tickets

[Hank Scorpio]

We sold out regularly and it isn’t the club

So it’s a City thing?

It's been on the website a few months now

You must be logged on to see external links

Club should be putting information on SAFC.com (the proper site) not burying it on AskSAFC which is a waste of time.

What if there's a family emergency or you're ill just before the game?

There has to be a way to pass on the ticket in case of illness / emergency etc - and the club can monitor to make sure it's not regular. If someone gets 19 loyalty points but only goes to 6 away games all season then that's not really fair and it's what the club are trying to stamp out, which is fair enough.

Wow. Never thought about it but realistically thats a very sensible idea as I'm sure they're after the touts/regular offenders. If only i could spell legitimate

Whey Shearer ain't legitimate mate..... Ha

Surely the branch application tickets should still bd liable to a check . Or will they get a blind eye turned as they need tickets to fill their bus no matter who uses it..some branches are the biggest culprits of the lot

The friends and family of players getting tickets in the away end is puzzling to me

SAFC will get a number of tickets for people like KLD, Speakmann, and other club officials. Would make more sense for them to also get tickets in the main stand / corporate area for friends and family of players rather than use the 3,000 that should go to fans

As a fan I’d like to think that every other person in the away end is a die hard SAFC fan

I've had no email but I might take my passport down to Manchester just in case. The days of deciding on a Friday night if you were going to the away game the following day have long gone. Sadly !

@Grumpy Old Man got one mate

Well he deserves it

Have started.

Similar kind of things have been going on a long time now. The last time we were in the premier, Chelsea away, a lad I was with was turned away.
He could not prove his age, and that was with a paper ticket.
The ticket was confiscated but I don't know if any action was taken.

Tbf, you couldn’t sell in your ticket for £400 in league one.

This step is absolutely reasonable and overdue and we should question the motives of anyone who objects to it.

I’ve no problems with them doing this. What I do have a problem with is doing it with no prior announcement that it might even happen.

There could be fans in Manchester now, who’ve gone down for the weekend, with no ID and therefore can’t access their own ticket.

 

[Rip Van Fish]

I wonder if this is a City thing? If it was club thing, you’d imagine they’d have made a statement etc


Mate, you will be fine. I very much doubt you are on any naughty list with the club

He is now

 

[Barney Mackem 13]

If you're going why does it matter to you

It doesn't matter a bit, see you on the train from Darlo at 7-30am

I dare say they will accept a bank card or something the first time

But the timing is bollocks

 

[Rip Van Fish]

He's never met the Lad at the Forest ticket booth

R Hood like?

We didn’t sell out every game.

And do you honestly reckon we’d of sold out every game without exiles picking up tickets second hand and the branches?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

He is now

You aren't helping my paranoia here mate

You won't mate, I'm not going, when I was 18 to 30 I can count on 1 hand how many away games I missed a season but growing up and having a family means it's harder to get to them now.

Well done for being me 20 years ago

Bring back 3 points.

Can I just ask what your opposition to digital tickets is?

Not saying you're wrong by the way, or saying I think that digital should be a requirement. I'm just curious because as somebody who has my phone on me whenever I'm not in the house I prefer digital tickets for everything! One less piece of paper to lose.

I’ve got a shoe box full of tickets from 25 years of away games and it’s quite sad not to have that permanent reminder to where I’ve been over the years.
