    Paul Barber - ID checks of fans at away games?

    Because I buy a ticket for a season, regardless of the division we are playing in. The corollary of your comment is that fans who support teams who are relegated from the Premier League should expect their season tickets to rise in price by 20% as they get the chance of seeing them host...

    Indeed, and remember if we were talking about Norwich, the uncle and father in law are likely to be the same person.

    As much as I loathe Manchester United, they could easily increase ticket prices, and/or sell a lot more tickets to football tourists who are far more likely to waste money in the Megastore, stadium tour etc. However they don't do that, ticket prices have been frozen for five or six years. The...

    I had a Russian girlfriend who gave me that.

    I'm sure the club is looking at a variety of LP access points for next season, but clearly publicly they don't want to come across as the Albion being already promoted. Once the initial brouhaha has calmed down I am sure things will return to normality. Remember we didn't manage to sell out...

    If on general sale, I suspect not, as the implication was to stop it happening when demand>supply. If on general sale that hasn't been the case for anyone with loyalty points thresholds.

    PB has given permission to publish the communication between the two of us. Don't read any of this if you have anything to do for the next hour or so, it does go on a bit. First one from me and his subsequent response. There has been further communication, but I am sure many of you have...

    If that is the case then I'm fine about it. For the sake of transparency Bozza and I went for a curry post Rotherham, and his comments on NSC were consistent with the discussion we had that evening (great curry house by the way) The comment on the club website is however different, and refers...

    As you are probably aware, there has been substantial correspondence between Mod Towers and PB about this issue over the last few hours. Unfortunately, during that correspondence, Bozza let slip that he sold me a spare ticket for Brentford away last month, and the attached photograph shows...

    The BURNING question is...Would it happen in Germany?

    I suspect that current rules will continue to apply. If they are suspicious of a fan using a ticket of a child without upgrading, for example, then likely to take action.

    Paul Barber - ID checks of fans at away games?

    I'm not here to praise or bury PB but I don't think that is his desire on this one. I suspect the club has received a number or calls/visits/emails from people who haven't got a ticket for Forest/Brentford/QPR etc along the lines of "I've got xxxx loyalty points and I've heard that someone...

    I've received an email from Paul Barber, (I don't know if other fans have received similar) and he has kindly agreed for it to be shown in the public domain, so here it is in full.

    You shouldn't do it, no one is condoning or encouraging such behaviour. If someone knowingly proivides a ticket for another individual who is subject to a banning order then throw the book at them.

    You could buy a ticket at the office at Rotherham last night and have a banning order too. It doesn't have to come from a mate.

    Surely the mate who is supplying the ticket must have earned the points in the first place though by attending sufficient away games. I cannot see situations where someone who has attended every away match doesn't get to see the Albion because they are in a relatively small pool of fans and so...

    I've read PB's epistle and this does raise a number of points. Some of which are within the remit of the club and others not. 1: It reinforces that football fans are viewed by the authorities as second class citizens. You can buy and transfer tickets for other sporting events, and secondary...

    Currently singing at Rotherham "We've got no ID, we've got no ID, we're Brighton & Hove Albion, we've got no ID".

    It's a poor decision and is part of the sanitisation and gentrification of the game. We already have to get to the Amex earlier and leave later due to transport shortcomings and now the same will apply at away games as the checking will take considerable time. What happens if someone buys a...
