Putting aside the COVID proof of being double-jabbed, or having a negative LFT though - if your e-ticket on your phone does not correspond with your photo ID, then you're not even getting to the turnstile. You won't get past the perimeter checks set up around the outdoor concourse of the stadium.
I think the overriding point is that the vast (VAST) majority of people attending aren't going to be there jibbing the system. Is it still possible ? Yes. Nothing is entirely foolproof.
If you are not a dickhead though, then you can return to the Amex without any of the ADDITIONAL tricky hoops...
Why are people constantly looking at ways of jibbing the system ? By correlating your ticket details with photo ID it proves you are the actual ticketholder.
If you are a covid-riddled MESS then there's probably a way of screen-grabbing an NHS barcode that isn't yours, or falsifying an LFT...
When it comes to the current Prime Minister, if he gave me a weather report I'd stick my hand out the window. I can think of few people more deserving of an intimate cavity search by a former GB shot-putter in a basement office at Luton Airport.
As an aside, I've got a mate (British) who...
Your choice of course, but that seems a rather unnecessary...complication.
My son has two middle names, but got absolutely SPANNERED last year as he only put one of them on his employee ID. He works at Shoreham Port, so when the Border Control did a random spot check on his employee ID and his...
I suspect its to implement an added level to make it basically impossible for season tickets to get shared around. The club have previously turned a blind eye, but it seems to have become 'an issue' now.
Its a pity, as it can only lead to empty seats as people simply can't be arsed to jump...
I agree its OTT, but if the Govt are going to insist on covid checks/double-vaxers rules for large crowds, then the club simply has to have an ID process in place to work with that.
Its not fake news.
I went to the club shop last week, and there were signs up around the stadium giving the 3 steps for entry. Something like 'download ticket, have the barcode ready on the screen, have ID ready'.
Whether everyone's ID actually gets checked remains to be seen. More likely to...
