SAFC - Fan Ban & Ticket Cancellations

[Eric gates hair]

Danny DeVito plays them in the movie

Tom cruise is the judge.

That facebook page might have sorted out regular fans, but there are plenty who have been getting tickets for high demand games who have very little points, if any.

Yep. Luton away in play-offs. Lads there who don’t even have season tickets.

 

[Roker Scoreboard]

Few genuine fans of those 65 tickets have had their tickets taken away. Bit shit like on them.

Are those 65 not fans who's number has just been used to get a ticket with a view to passing on?

That will be what the club are assuming because it's not an official branch.

 

[Roker Scoreboard]

Not a reseller.

For eg - I buy mine and my mates ticket and we go to every game. I buy both so we can sit together and I can get on at 12 each time they go on sale. It’s akin to me doing something wrong in the clubs eyes and not just cancelling my ticket they cancel his as well despite him doing nowt wrong. That’s what’s happened here just scaled up

Yeah but it's more like someone getting bulk tickets with most of them having no intention of going, rather than you and your mate which is completely legitimate

 

[bunnyrabbit]

There's a lad has his ticket taken off him who hasn't missed a game for a few years home or away.

So what's he done wrong ? Not disbelieving you just wondering how this can happen.

I'm going out on a limb to assume because it's not an official branch that's why the club have gone in hard. I don't think i'd personally ever allow my ticket to be bought in with an unoffocial branch but if they've been doing it for so long without issue then I don't know. Anyone know why they haven't applied to be an official branch?

The club were the ones who made it a branch

Eh? I thought it had been established they are not an official branch?

No

I don’t know all the ins and outs but I’m pretty sure it is a branch. As such they had access to 40 ring fenced tickets in Phase 1 like the rest of them

So what's the accusation from the club? Because what you do is exactly what I do, I'm always responsible for buying. Is it because they've caught the lead booker passing his ticket on, they have gone after the full group of people who he usually buys for?

 

[safc_1973]

any way most important question how many points is it at 12?

 

[L18SFC]

I think it gets called an ‘unofficial’ branch as it has no base and doesn’t use a coach to go to games. Other than that I think it’s a proper branch

 

[Disco_Pants93]

No

I don’t know all the ins and outs but I’m pretty sure it is a branch. As such they had access to 40 ring fenced tickets in Phase 1 like the rest of them

But I could theoretically say me and my pals are in a branch and buy 15 tickets for an away game using their numbers. It doesn't make us an offical branch with the club where names and numbers of how many tickets you'd want to request are sent to the club before purchasing. I'm assuming that's the club saying well we don't know where these tickets are going

 

[jarrowdiamond]

They have, loads of them have who have had them taken away. Club didn't listen one bit

Doesn't surprise me with out ticketing team

 

[rubberface]

No. Lad who hasnt missed a game home or away has had his ticket taken just because the fella gets his ticket in a batch with other fans so they are all together.

So what's the accusation from the club? Because what you do is exactly what I do, I'm always responsible for buying. Is it because they've caught the lead booker passing his ticket on, they have gone after the full group of people who he usually buys for?

Exactly what has happened...genuine fans had tickets confiscated. Disgrace.

Have you had your ticket cancelled mate?

Exactly what has hapoened...genuine fans had tickets confiscated. Disgrace.

So how is that against the rules, they can't justify cancelling tickets because a mate got everyone's tickets.

Yea but you don’t get the link in Phase 1 for the ring fenced tickets. Thats what makes it an official branch

...well, they have mate.

 

[L18SFC]

Have you had your ticket cancelled mate?

No I have and always will buy my own and my mates
