Leave shellfish out of this

I stood next to the guy who got stopped at the turnstile. He asked the turnstile operator why he needed the book and the operator replied, "so we know its your ticket". He them asked the question, "if I brought the book how would you know that I was the person on the front of the book" which is a valid point.

The club are being really petty with this. If you've got a spare ticket you should be able to give it to someone else to use. Its been happening for donkeys years and its never going to change. Its not as if there is a big black market for tickets.

absolute spot on unless they are going to start putting your photo on the s/t if its paid for does it really matter unless its a certain 60 y/old using a wolfpack ticket

Why don't the club get with the times and have cards which you just scan as you go in? We have had them for years. It is meant to be a new stadium. Where are the moderns facilities to make things easier?

Do the club realise that an unpleasant experience for a fan could mean they don't buy a ticket again... that needs sorting.

Very silly.

The club has been clear on this (in a relaxation of the rules after the first game)

Bring your season ticket booklet....rip the voucher out before reaching the turnstile......show your booklet at the turnstile when handing your voucher in.

Is it just me or is that tooooooooooo simple to understand ?

Apparently it is!!!

Agree we need to move with the times. Its okay people saying u know the rules but when they change so often its confusing!

agree, if u cant make the match then give it ur mate and they can go. Whats the harm? But the rumour of a ticket forging scam must be the worry for the club, they must want to avoid another situation like the first game at the hj when hundreds sneaked in over walls and with forged tickets.

Start of season...new rule on tickets
After game 1......problem identified, apology from club, new clarified rule issued
No change since. I'm really worried for you if that's "so often"

As for the whole contractual relationship / using mates ticket etc, this is a problem for all sports clubs. Some have spent thousands of pounds introducing additional technology. Some have actually increased prices (thus reducing the benefit of season tickets) to compensate them for such use.

yep when i was going in (near the rodney end) the stewards were telling people to rip the tickets out the book ready

Utter toss, what does it matter? How about lost revenue from people who may pay to come to a game? Think that's fairly important, don't you?
Quite a lot of people try to get in using junior tickets both home and away, go and blame them, or is that acceptable as its human nature?

We should rent our stadium from a football club, we'd have one then eh? That's the only reason you have one.
