Seasoncard - 2021/22

[cityzen81]

I have a feeling his name came up in investigations following Savile. But l think l might be thinking of a Manchester DJ whose name escapes me.
I am listening on BBC Sounds to several series called 'the Corrupted' from just after WW2 to today which uses music from the 60s and 70s to give historical context to various events surrounding London 'villains' and CID, old politicians, Christine Keeler etc. To my surprise I can remember most of the words of popular songs even by Freddie and the Dreamers. Funny thing memory.

Unless he is giving them away for free they wont get a mention other than maybe they cant wait to welcome the fans back.

If photo ID required then the club are having a laugh, even british governments have known ID cards are not popular

For non drivers who won't be carrying rpund photo ID normally what do they want them to do? Carry their work badge or passport around.


E-tickets I can live with as most stuff is through an app now, photo ID though I think is unecessary.

I was just reading another thread in which stewart was incorrectly used instead of steward and for some reason Ed Stewart came to mind.
A bit worrying.

Hang the DJ hang the Dj

17.00 check. Nah, still nowt. Ah well, the office will be closed now so, apart from listening to the Chairman's report this evening that's it until tomorrow.

I'm feeling let down, I want to renew. However there was one new thing on the website at 17.00 that cheered me up. John Boy doing a City unfiltered report. I think I'll watch that.

See you tomorrow folks unless the Chairman gives us a hint. Enjoy your tea.

The Manchester DJ who was a friend of Jimmy Saville was "Ugli Ray Terret" who passed away recently.
His demise was reported on Bluemoon with much mirth and glee!!!

Not him. I've never heard of him!

I'm all for it to be fair. Would stop the point collectors from pulling further ahead whilst sat at home.

Do you get points for going each game , or are do you get them automatically when you purchase

Sitting at home will make fuck all difference to getting points for a home game if you lend a ticket to a mate for a game you cannot attend.


Also E-ticket can do stop ticket sharing,especially if linked to your account and requies your log in to access.

You are not gonna give your personal passwords and access you information just for 10 points

But would stop the people who share seaoncards being able to share them.

In the late 90s/early 00s me my Dad, my Cousin and her son shared two seasoncards at Maine Road

I know one group of 3 lads who share two seasoncards, and I know a family of 5 brothers (older fellas) and their umpteen sons who share four seasoncards and go sporadically throughout the season between them all.

These people don’t do this to collect points; it’s all about affordability, availability, job/family commitments, some work Saturdays, some work Sundays, some can’t make midweek, some can’t afford a seasoncards on their own, some don’t want to go to every game but like to know those same seats are there for them if they put their hand up any week so they aren’t sat on their own if they do want to go…

I was at uni when I shared our seasoncards with our Cousin, I wasn’t always able to attend so my Dad and Cousin would go instead.

One thing’s for sure, these seats are never empty, as mine weren’t between 1999-2002.

Raised this with the CM rep 2 years ago - they just said it was illegal. If you ask the club for permission they laugh and say you don't need it unless it is for a higher category and then have to get an upgrade.

If you don't enforce a law it ceases to become a law though, and the club profit from allowing flexibility as some would not buy if only they could use it for various valid reasons.

Sharing tickets isn't illegal. Selling them without authority is, technically, illegal. The club is more concerned with ensuring tickets are used, rather than seats being left empty. Digital ticketing will potentially make it easier.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we had an amnesty last year and this year they are potentially using e-tickets.

The club don’t like Seasoncards being shared and would much rather you sold them back to the club so they could re sell. They don’t want empty seats

Call me cynical but I think Covid has given them the excuse to push forward with this

 

[Corky]

The rules on tickets are that they aren't transferable. Not only that but it's a criminal offence to do so unfortunately. If you want to stop people using other people's tickets then ID checks are the answer.

That says sharing is illegal.

I've previously bought and sold e-tickets, do you think you're trying to do away them?

 

[pirate]

I do not want e tickets
how do i get a ticket without a smartphone?

Yep. Weird coincidence that all the "covid" measures lead to maximising profit for City. E-tickets is the next logical step.

Other clubs (Brighton and Spurs for example) legitimise ticket sharing to a group, ie like the family and friends links that City have. City prefer the exchange and maximising the match day income.

You don't need to present photo id these days. They can ask for an image, like a passport photo, that is put electronically on your card and displays on a screen on the stewards side of the turnstile. You see this in commercial buildings now a days on a regular basis. I had to have images lodged with partners in London that were checked on my arrival and photo put on my temporary pass. Didn't get sent once and it took me nearly an hour to get in the building.
