Last night against Huddersfield the season ticket ripping the ticket out of book fiasco struck again!

Going into the South Stand a guy and his kid got stopped because they had a ticket but didnt bring their season ticket booklet!

I thought the club had relaxed this rule???

But it seems to have come back! Anyway a near riot erupted after the stewards rushed in and tried to evict the lad and his Dad and a massive queue of people started shouting to get in the ground! But some clam thinking by my mate Army Man clamed the situation down and people without ticket books were allowed in....

Maybe it was because the South Stand was full already and the stewards didnt want extra people coming in (like Game 1 at the HJ!)?


Are the club gonna address this before we cause a proper full out riot?

Leave shellfish out of this

I stood next to the guy who got stopped at the turnstile. He asked the turnstile operator why he needed the book and the operator replied, "so we know its your ticket". He them asked the question, "if I brought the book how would you know that I was the person on the front of the book" which is a valid point.

The club are being really petty with this. If you've got a spare ticket you should be able to give it to someone else to use. Its been happening for donkeys years and its never going to change. Its not as if there is a big black market for tickets.

absolute spot on unless they are going to start putting your photo on the s/t if its paid for does it really matter unless its a certain 60 y/old using a wolfpack ticket

Why don't the club get with the times and have cards which you just scan as you go in? We have had them for years. It is meant to be a new stadium. Where are the moderns facilities to make things easier?

Do the club realise that an unpleasant experience for a fan could mean they don't buy a ticket again... that needs sorting.

Very silly.

The club has been clear on this (in a relaxation of the rules after the first game)

Bring your season ticket booklet....rip the voucher out before reaching the turnstile......show your booklet at the turnstile when handing your voucher in.

Is it just me or is that tooooooooooo simple to understand ?

Agree we need to move with the times. Its okay people saying u know the rules but when they change so often its confusing!

Re: Tension at the Turnstiles 8 July : Sun Jul 10, 2011 7:33 am  

agree, if u cant make the match then give it ur mate and they can go. Whats the harm? But the rumour of a ticket forging scam must be the worry for the club, they must want to avoid another situation like the first game at the hj when hundreds sneaked in over walls and with forged tickets.
