Ah, so are you expecting non ST holders to be sent a smart card witht their ticket? That would be nice.

Q: Why do I have to give a name for every ticket I purchase?
One major change will be the phasing out of paper tickets and the gradual move to "smart" access control, not just for season ticket holders, but for all our regular supporters.
Eventually each regular supporter will have an access card which will be their own individual card. So when a purchase is made, the ticket for that particular match will be uploaded directly to that card. Only one seat can be uploaded to one card.
The new ticketing system will also allow the club to explore different types of loyalty schemes, enabling supporters to gain priority to particular high profile games along with our season ticket holders.
Q: I want to buy my friend's ticket at the same time as mine online, but the system won't allow me to do it?
You are able to buy tickets online for family and friends, but they must be registered with us first and you will also require their customer number (e.g. 50003997) Once you have logged on you can use the friends and family option on the left hand side of the screen.
Once registered as friends and family you will be able to log on and purchase tickets for anyone who is registered as your friend or family.

It's because you get a smart card issued for each person and each match you go to gets logged onto your card, rather than a paper ticket.....hence every person going needs their own FAN nmber

Fair enough. I like that us filthy non-STH mudbloods will get a shiny smartcard all of our own

Don't put it in your wallet though, as it may get dusty.

Is this 100% official policy? I am not doubting you, I have just not heard of it before. Personally, can't see the logic in turning away a few dozen Barnsley fans who make the long journey when they are hundreds of empty seats in their end! If it is official policy, I hope it is changed and some common sense decisions made for certain fixtures.
What about home fans? Do you know the POTG policy here?

This has been official policy since we moved to Withdean......

On a semi-related note, what do you think the chances of Donny tickets going on general sale next Wednesday, Thursday or Friday are? I'm not working those days so that would be a touch of good fortune

Fully aware of the Withdean policy - We are no longer playing at Withdean. The Withdean policy AFAIK was a condition of getting permission to use the dam venue in the 1st place. Surely these draconian measures will not be carried over to the Amex?

Dam good chance IMO. The rush for Spurs should be over by then. I am trying to work out when Pompey will go on sale, as away soon - really don't want to miss

Exactly the same! However, because of the smart card system you can buy tickets online/over the phone right up until kick off (I believe)

Got myself two tickets for Gillingham, upper west. Since I play football Saturday mornings and live in Bristol my chances to get to the Amex are limited on Saturdays so a great early chance to see the new stadium. Now I just have to wade my way through all the blurb about the best way to get there. Happy days.

To be fair, you could buy them online, right up until kick off at Withdean. You could in theory, turn up without a ticket, go to the Sportman for a beer, buy on your iphone, walk round to the south stand and pick up your tickets on the way.
With a nice big ticket office at Falmer, it would now make sense that you could just go here, pay some cash and walk off with a ticket......

Check your order history. If the game is not listed then you need to try again.

I already have my ticket for Carling Cup match as I'm a STH. However I thought I'd have a quick look on the site this morning, and it was showing Very Good/Good availablity for tickets in pretty much all areas of the ground, including North Stand.
Surely this is Bollocks
?? I would imagine at least a 50% uptake of Cup Tickets by STH?? How can there be good availabilty in all these areas?? Must be a technical glitch somewhere. Either that or the attendance is going to be 40,000 with two bums per seat!!!!!

Today is my only day off until the 30th , so my chances of getting a ticket for the Donny game will be less than scooping the Euromillions.
