How about Hospitality packages.
Some businesses buy season tickets at Saints for Customers and give them to different people each week and never have a problem.

I can confirm that tickets were taken by the police as it happened to my sister in law and niece. The sister in law is a season ticket holder in south stand, but niece had been offered two season tickets in west terrace as holders couldn't attend. Sister in law offered to stand with niece and gave her ticket in south to someone else (who got in). Sister in law and niece didn't get in as police took tickets off the owners of them as they were handed over and said "touting is not tolerable" and despite claims that they were ticket owners police didn't want to know. Sister in law and niece didn't get in. I don't know what happened to ticket holders.

When I was going in (good friday), someone got caught and all that happened he was told to pay for an adult one.

I asked one of the guys at the gate about it because I nearly bought a childs ticket off someone and he said all that would happen is you would have to upgrade.

Common sense really.
Why would someone get turned away leaving a free seat?

even as a supposed sell out the stadium looked empty in parts.

As im typing this ive just read about some other people. Discusting if they are turning people away.

At Wigan they cancel the ST card and take it from you and then issue you a paper ticket before posting the ST card back to you after the game.

Makes all kinds of sense.

Soon the penny will drop at Saints too - it's hardly rocket science, is it?

Aye, but i doubt it was all rosey in the first season at the DW either
