I had my ticket ripped out my book to hand the operator took the book off me and asked me my address ?????

All you need to do is rip the ticket out of the book so that it's ready, but then keep the book in your hand so the operator can see it.

Been doing that since 1993 with no problems.

Stalker Alert...

Is this thread real?

read my second sentence if an adult passes his to a friend to use dont see the problem dont agree adults using kids tickets though

Read my second sentence, then my third.

It depends which way you look at it from a club point of view its lost revenue to the individual its money well saved in these times of financial hardship

And of course the club will be setting the rules from ITS viewpoint. if a season ticket holder cant make the game...tough. If a person was going to the game..and doesn't have access to an unused season ticket then the club gets the money.

OK, so it doesnt stop Fred lending Mick his full season ticket booklet but the club is likely to be working on averages....

If 10 people cant go, on average 3 might not know anybody to lend ticket to. Of the remaining 7, 4 might not be willing to give their mate the whole booklet but would be more than happy to give them the individual voucher.

agree with all that Mike

the sooner ther betr they go on to a credit card type entry where you juss put the card in the machine and it lets you in the better
