Season Tickets - 2025/26 | Changes to ticket transfer this season (p101)

It’s just one shit stunt after another with our wonderful club over the last few years
Who comes up with this ?
Some dickhead grad trying to make a name for themself?

Dread to think what next will they think of ?
 
Can you have 2 tickets on one phone?

So if a friend can’t go, they transfer their ticket to a new supporter number (I’ll oversee this account) for another friend, then I download that ticket on top of my own season ticket?
 
I'm told this latest lot of crap is in order to meet PL Rule R.16 which requires clubs to know who is in the stadium for any game. The requirement involves having name and contact details for anyone it sells a ticket to, and not to permit the sale of home or away tickets to anyone it doesn't have registered.

I think the club have been over-zealous in their approach to meeting this requirement though. There is no reason to restrict people transferring tickets to registered individuals with various levels of membership or even a supporter number. It will be interesting to see what approach other clubs take.

They’ve already thought of it. Facial recognition software at the turnstiles. The club is waging war on season ticket holders, bit by snidey bit

If that’s the case let’s see how many Madrid/Feyenoord/etc fans still manage to sneak in in mass hidden in clear sight then re assess this latest fuck up

No coincidence we have recruited a ‘ticket compliance officer’ then because they will still shift tickets to agencies, I’m sure they will be arsed who they sell to
 
Ive tried to add 3 non members but it wont allow me. They have supporter numbers but are not season ticket holders. Oh well. If this continues I will be another one who will probs jack it after this year.

Exactly. What about viagogo, or companies like Etihad or Puma with hospitality suites? Or, as you say, the agencies they sell tickets to. Are the PL going to take the register before games?
 
I’ve just tried to add a non member but tells me they have to be under 13!? Eh. It’s an adult season ticket.
Burning my head this.
Am I doing something wrong here!?

If someone is under 13 they don't have their own email address and use the adults, so you are probably asking to do the wrong thing or it isn't working.

On my Season ticket account I go to account, tickets, then it says download season ticket

Same here, so I press download and it says I have already done it (which I had).

The web site is utter shite, I have tried everything and can not find a way to add anybody to my friends & family. I have two people in there already and am at a loss to know how I got them there in the first place.

The whole thing is a complete ballache.
 
Football used to be a fun hobby. You could, on a whim, just decide to go to a game. Jump on a bus or train, queue up, pay the entrance fee and watch the game. It was relatively cheap, even kids could afford it with their pocket money, often supplemented with a paper round or similar. If you were in a different part of the country it was the same. You could take in any game and as long as you went in the home end and kept your head down you were generally okay.
Now it's becoming a chore. More and more restrictions. If you're visiting another city you can't just go to a game without having a membership or a previous purchase history. Once upon a time clubs valued season ticket holders, they were a guaranteed paid up front income,now they are an inconvenience for successful clubs. They're not wanted, they want tourists paying top money and purchasing souvenirs. They make it more difficult to retain that season ticket, like our clubs "You must personally attend ten games or else" policy. They know full well tv schedules moving fixtures around will make that more difficult. Now retired I like to take more holidays, going to a football match isn't my whole existence. If I missed games before I always put them on the seat exchange. As a foc, the club gave me £20 back and probably resold my ticket for at least £60. So they gained on me missing a game. Now I'm having to plan my winter breaks around the fixture list so I can guarantee the ten game allowance criteria. It's a fucking nonsense and there are enough hoops we have to jump through in everyday life without adding going to a football game to the list. I hate being dictated to and I am.on the verge of fucking it all off, which of course is exactly what they want me to do. Sad after fifty seven years of supporting them, but at least I've seen us win everything there is after thinking I'd die without seeing us even win a league cup again. That's modern football and life for you I guess.
