[Albion] ST revoked for touting Arsenal game? Now with PB response (post #306)

That IS shocking.
Assuming your mate is an Albion fan, and not a dick who attracts attention/trouble, no-one is ever gonna know....
Blokes (usual STHs) that sit behind us challenged the group that were sat next to them in WSL - not aggressively but just asked how they (including obvious, but fairly quiet TBF, Arsenal supporters) got tickets - they said their group was a mix of Albion and Arsenal, but all had purchase history so wasn't difficult to get them - they weren't in STH seats though. Nothing much we can do about this apart from telling them to STFU during the game I guess but have seen this happen elsewhere including at friendly old Fulham once in the home end where a couple of scousers were very swiftly ejected when Gerrard scored and they couldn't contain themselves. No-one should give their ST to away fans.....and any STH that has actually sold their ticket to any Arsenal (directly or on the open market) deserve a ban and STH cancellation IMO.
If so then I am guilty as well.

I’m wondering if there are any who got caught who did what a reasonable fan would think was an ok transaction. Like you, I doubt we’ll see any saying “yeah, I sold my ticket to a tout at the game and got half of next season’s ST price for it”, but maybe there are a few whose story would cause us to go “hmm, seems ok to me”...
There’s also the issue of what exactly constituted the ticket. I can’t see any STH giving their card to a tout or a stranger, so presumably they got the club to issue a paper ticket first? If so, that takes the transaction into a whole new area of tackiness.
Not sure if there are other ways that a ticket can be produced to tout?

Lucky to get away with a suspension until the end of the season, but assume first offence with stern warning of if lesson not learnt full time ST ban follows

where do you sit.?
Clever by the club. Season Tickets paid via DD are now paid up so little recourse on it

Silly old bat
A spokesman said: "In addition to blocking a number of tickets touted, we have also taken strong action against a number of club members for touting our match tickets.
"Fans whose tickets were sold on have had their season tickets revoked until the end of the season. Touts were reported to police and tickets blocked."
Some aren't getting away with just a sunspension.
That would be funny.

You know someone who has been banned from renewing for next season...?

It would. It would also be the obvious way of being absolutely certain that you'd nicked the culprit. They wouldn't have to buy at very many games and ban the seller to send a very powerful message...
Finger wagging? Ok, I don't approve of getting them banned for a first offence, but how about a warning? 'If you sell/give your tickets to a non Brighton fan again, I'm telling on you!' Letting Brighton mates, or even selling to a fellow Brighton fan is a different matter, but not the opposition.

Bloke heading in to the WSU before me got stopped and was asked 'Are you under ten sir?'
Was quite funny.

Seems like quite a mild slap on the wrist. Doesn't mention anything about next season, mind.
Can you share where they have gone on record? I'm away for a few games over the winter and give my ST to my neighbour in return for him checking our house weekly, forwarding mail etc.
No money changes hands but I'm beginning to get a bit worried about some of this stuff
Goals? I thought we won?
I'd have struggled not to complain to a steward. While that seems pathetic when sitting here with 3 points in the bag, I wasn't feeling so charitable when Arsenal scored.
We're too nice...the Fulham (vs Liverpool) incident I saw resulted in some old codgers a few rows going batshit mental and screaming for the scousers to be ejected. Shouting/abuse didn't stop until they were taken out.

Can't remember the last time I was out of the country and didn't give my ST to a trusted mate to give to their trusted mate. If the club consider that a crime and take any action against me, then so be it. I'll go and watch Lewes instead
