Kids move heaven and earth to get fake id to get in pubs, i'm sure they'll be able to get something legit to prove that they are really only kids if they have to.
Best not to get them mixed up though!!!!

I read a story recently about a pensioner in the US who contacted a dept store to admit that when he worked there decades prior, he had nicked some money out of the till; he said it had preyed on his mind ever since, so he wrote to them and returned the money.

Perhaps you should do that, to ameliorate your guilty conscience?

Yeah, my point being that if you don't look like you "fit" the concession (i.e. looking 18 when you are 15), be prepared to prove your eligibility.

They are available, almost without exception, in the con club. A regular source of supply and a regular band of customers waiting for them (not to mention the shirts, if that "scam" is still going on).

Good move, more money in the coffers.

Have seen complimentary tickets being sold before games. Should be clamped down on.

I would assume that most "freebies" are issued by the club in the first instance, if the practice is to cease, the club only need to issue "less".
Never heard or seen the shirt one.

So thats where all the "mediums" went.

tickets are sold to unison members for their own use at a discounted rate as part of the unison sponsorship, are often passed on to the spouses/mates etc of unison members which is taking the pee.

The deal must be known about by the club because Unison offered 3 adult tickets per game at £9 each last season. They have to be paid for so why shouldnt they be allowed to be passed on ? What the point of selling a £9 ticket for a tiny profit, seems like a big waste of time to me.

i don't suspect re-sale at all, as like you say it's not worth the bother.

didn't know about the 3 ticket offer, i only know of people who are not members attending without members in their party. some people are so low that they'd rob the club that they claim to support of a few bob.

there's a guy that stands by me that always has a unison ticket, his mrs is a member, but he isn't.

If she has paid for 3 tickets, she has to give the remaining 2 to someone or what's the point in selling one unison member 3 tickets per game ?

Typical ill informed nonsense. There is no stipulation as to there use by Unison. They offer members up to 4 match tickets per game. Even to you it must be obvious that they don't expect the members family to all be Unison members

So let me explain how it works. Unison sponsor the club and as part of that deal get a number of tickets which as part of the deal they have paid for. They then pass them onto their members at a subsidised rate - following so far?

So Trinity have been paid up front, whatever happens to those tickets the club doesn't lose a penny. It doesn't matter how immoral you think it is (as do I) to re-sell the tickets at an inflated price - the club does not lose. Only if the ticket were sold for more than a full match day ticket could it be argued that the club has lost revenue.

Ditto Unison.

Passing them onto family or mates is totally fine so long as no profit is made. I get four and pay £40. Use one myself, give a ticket to the wife and sell two on at cost price. This is fine because the club still got the full £80. It ALWAYS gets it's money that the beauty of the scheme.

It may not fit in your paranoid world but it's fair enough to most reasonable folk. These tickets are NOT freebies so the club has no say what happens to them other than they can't be sold on Trinity property or a public road or above there face value which is touting.

I'm not in Unison and I don't have any family members in it either. I have been given Unison tickets a few times which I passed on for free - no use to a season ticket holder - but that was my choice.

I wouldn't bother, this bloke is simply agenda driven and a touch bitter. I have had a go at explaining it to him but it will come to nothing.

i have decided to kill myself in a bath of baked beans.

Why waste the baked beans
