Season ticket confiscated

[jevs]

I sometimes give my season ticket to my brother in law when i can't go to the games. On saturday, after the game, he was asked for ID and for the season ticket by the police in a pub (don't know which one). As they didn't match up, the police confiscated the ST.

Now im sure giving/lending/selling season tickets happens all the time when people can't go to games.

Any idea what i should do or if im going to get it confiscated permanantly ?

Thanks

First thing is get the truth from your brother-in-law.

Officially they're non transferable right? Un-officially the club said they would turn a blind eye, as im sure plenty of people doing it!
Seems odd the police were asking for it anyway.... are you sure he wasn't being a naughty boy?

Best bet is just to call the club.

If your brother-in-law can lie that well, why not just tell the police in the pub he doesn't have a season ticket or didn't even go to the game!? What a ridiculous story!

I think someone is being economical with the truth here

 

[blockhseagull]

He told you that story and you believed him ?

I've done it right at the gate before with no issues..

There is no need to boast

Got no reason not to believe him on this...especially as i'll find out sooner or later what happened. He just said that the OB asked for ID and this didn't match the season ticket name. It was after the match.

Trouble is, he does like a beer after the game and he's a bloody liability when pissed so christ knows what happened. He's not a trouble maker but will go if provoked.

Ill give the club a bell tomorrow.

The police were doing the same type of checking at the Railway Bell before the game and Ben had a problem getting out of the pub as they wouldn't let him and my eldest, his uncle, leave until they had shown their identity. The problem was that all though Ben is anti alcohol and just went to meet his uncle he is under 18. They overlooked the fact of his age as they both re=assured the police that he doesn't drink and after showing identity and season ticket allowed both to leave.

Why would the police confiscate his season ticket or even ask to look at it, unless there was something untoward ?

Took Mrs Eggmundo to the Cardiff game on a mates season ticket, she swiped the wrong turnstyle and wondered why it wouldn't let her through. Steward looked at it saw she obviously wasn't a MR but let her through without comment.

Think you will find that ST will be passed round John Street for the rest of the season.

Can I just remind you all that the O/P is Jevs. A West Ham supporter, who managed to obtain tickets for the Spurs.v Brighton FA Cup tie a couple of years ago, when proper Brighton supporters couldn't get tickets. A complete and utter tosser......who incidentally lives in Lewes. Enough said.

Tell the club that some scrote nicked your ticket on the way to the ground and has anyone tried to use it?

Why would a policeman ask to see a season ticket in a pub

Naah not avin that, the steward thought she was a bloke it was probably the five oclock shadow

Are we talking about a season ticket for the Boleyn Ground here or what?
