Southern won't even open a station for a gig at the Amex, do you really believe they are going to operate the 3 barriers there, with 1000s of people getting off a train at a time. Pull the other one.

see posts #20 and #21 , they have the inside knowledge.
I agree ... I don't get any benefit from it as, I'm sure, a substantial proportion don't.
But, it would be impractical to administer without a big technology cost. How would someone show they were in vs out? The swiping of tickets and added time getting on/off buses and trains would create chaos. Think it's here to stay

When every penny they collect is theirs ? If you have a ticket then nobody has anything to worry about

You would rather risk a £50 fine than pay £1........Christmas has finished Scrooge

Very easily, the club give a one week window where it is your responsibility to go to them and prove you do not need it, not hard, was suggested to them and rejected as could not be bothered.

So they won't have any problem checking that everyone has a valid ticket then. Likewise,the bus drivers won't be letting anyone on without paying. I guess there will be no dramas, though maybe a few toys chucked out of prams, and a few fines dished out.

If you have a London bound season ticket, its free to Brighton anyway as its deemed a reasonable route (checked with at least three guards/staff this is OK and the ticket opens the barriers at Brighton).
and after the game going West they will be checking every ticket will they? They can't even count through and fill every carriage properly after all this time, how are they going to co-ordinate that.

If everyone who is going buys their travel ticket as they've been told to do then where is the problem ? Those that take a chance and want to jib will be the first on here crying about what it has cost. Remember that is most cases they can get reported for it and have a day in court for their troubles. Doesn't bother me in the slightest what people do as long as they don't moan afterwards.

We had an opting in system in the first season and too many people abused it and used the trains without paying which ended up costing the club a fortune.

The big hard ones dodging the fares won't be afraid of a day in court now will they? And the money they thought they had saved can be put towards paying thir fines.
I'm not sure how you prove it? I could say I get a lift with mates, or walk or cycle and then just hop a bus/train. If you said that wasn't evidence enough then it would seem mightily unfair to those that actually did get lifts, cycle or walk
In my case I have Uni parking but sometimes take the train if I'm having a drink before/after
Unfortunately, I don't think relying on peoples honesty is commercially sensible

Can't you just show your ST when asked and then claim ignorance when they tell you travel levy isn't included for this one game, seems like an honest mistake?
