[Football] Season ticket sharing

[Deleted member 37369]

I may be talking absolute crap but unless the club has integrated its ticketing system into the National test and trace system, then how will the club even know that a fan has subsequently tested positive?

I don't know how this might work - but a mate who tested positive a couple of months back had to go through a process of identifying people he'd been in contact with ... where he'd been etc ... for track and trace. So maybe if someone who has been to a game tests positive - the T&T process might pick it up via the club and identify who might have been sat near them ... so those people can then get tested themselves. I'm guessing here ... but surely there must be some sort of process like that.

Not sure it works that way. The season ticket on my phone automagically updates for each game and even if I were to lend my phone to someone else they'd still have to show photo ID at the turnstiles. So unless you've got a twin brother ...

My photo ID was not even given a 2nd glance at the Getafe match even though i had my friends ticket and his Covid pass. They seemed to be in such a hurry to get people moving, and that was only with 7000.

When the stadium is full I expect people will be largely waved through if past experience is anything to go by. And I include my experience at Wembley at the Euro's in this. Never once had my ID checked in 3 visits. I was just waved through.

Simply put, if you want to pass on a ticket to a trusted friend if you can't go, I'm pretty sure you'll have no problem and it won't cost you anything extra (as long as your friend is trust worthy). As long as you have been double jabbed yourself it seems a simple solution. Seems too many people worrying about very little, unless you don't have a trust worthy friend.

Interesting comparison to what they do at Spurs! Cheapest adult season ticket is £807!!!

Even that is a bit of a PR stunt as it’s a tiny number……most are over £1,000 and a lot well over that.

But then no other club has to pay for travel to and from the stadium for all home and away supporters that use it for the past 10 years either and into the foreseeable future too. There is a limit to what the club can keep paying for in the face of multi-million pound loses plus supporters demanding a PL quality squad.

Anyone would think this charge is compulsory. It's optional. If I want to go and see Spurs on a borrowed ST, I look forward to Daniel Levy paying for my travel costs around London.

I don’t use the travel - but don’t think we’ll agree on this one…!

My ID was checked quite closely to my Covid pass at the Getafe game.

Mine too. Was there quite early - so no queues - but he pointed at the name on my covid pass and then my driving licence to check they matched.

Can’t see the club letting [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] have something like that on here……would be potentially taking revenue from the club

What if it were a Facebook group? There's already a reselling page for selling BHA merch? In theory it would encourage more people to sign up as members/pay the £20 to resell their ticket so the club would gain revenue that way?

On a different theme, I see from the on sale dates that Season ticket holders do still get a guest ticket as a 'perk'. Presumably they can only buy for members or is that not the case?

I strongly suspect a few groups might pop up, but one on here would be good if it was ‘acceptable’……. [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] ?

You can get a STH guest ticket for anyone

Agreed.

Can you definitely buy a guest for non members - I don't know where to look to find out?

No need to look….if you’re on the ticketing website you can just buy additional matchday tickets in your own name.

Nice. Can't grumble at that, cheers.

DO fans receive a notification when alternative season tickets are sent out?

According to the club help page about season ticket sharing the alternative ticket is sent to the season ticket holder to pass on so yes they will receive a notification.

They are leaving it a bit late.

I read the link as saying that it is up to you to transfer your ticket online

They have already sent a detailed email to anyone who has signed up for sharing their ST that includes a link to the full instructions. Not sure what else they need to do ?

To avoid me waiting on the phone for another hour with supporter services can anyone tell me how I add ticket sharing to an existing season ticket? I’m probably missing it but cannot see how to do that online?
