Tricky thing is with a ticket collection is that really it only needs to be enforced for two games a season, there's no point doing a ticket collection for Brighton or Wolves away. Maybe for a Boxing Day game or a small allocation but generally people are only arsed about United and Liverpool away. And if I was that way inclined and I was going to make £500 for a ticket to Anfield at the end of the month I'd drive to Liverpool, pick it up that morning and give it to this tourist - probably worth the £20 in petrol.There are some good suggestions. I think random ticket collection isn't a bad thing in small numbers. However, the club should need to inform the purchaser at least 7 days in advance so that they can plan and change their plans accordingly. And there should possibly be the option to return the ticket without punishment after the they've been informed too. If there was to be any punishment for the wrong person collecting a ticket or a no show, it should only be done if the buyer has had an option to return it and ignored or turned it down to chance their arm.
Once baldy and the big fella fuck off and we go back to being also-rans it will be easier for people to get tickets to Everton, Villa, West Ham, Newcastle etc. and this will be less of an issue overall.
