I'm guessing I can't actually buy one. (adult, not senior) Family Area so can't buy one unless you have a junior ticket alongside it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Just now, Sifu said: Family Area so can't buy one unless you have a junior ticket alongside it I managed to get one in my basket but I can't buy as I need a junior ticket. But it's a lone seat - so it has to be an unaccompanied child? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t buy 2 adult tickets and 1 child ticket in the Gallowgate on the same transaction. System is wildly restrictive.

Think it can go a Youth as a single ticket, not sure of the logic up in the Family Area apart from you can't buy a single adult up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 The club should just buy all of those, match the seat numbers and ban anyone who put one up for sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you report these to the club they'll say that the tickets don't actually exist. And in other news an ostrich was found with its head buried in the sand.

It’s not really. They’d just create new accounts with new memberships if need be whilst receiving money from the club. Going back to physical tickets and posting out days prior to fixture would be the better option in my opinion. Touts would have to risk meeting staff and authorities face to face then… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not had a membership the last couple of years for fear I'll not get in, I'd have to buy 2 memberships and apply for 2 seats which means I'm even less likely to win. I apply for two, myself and my son. We are only ever successful in the family section. Edited October 7 by JEToon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I'm sure their are technical solutions to this issue. I'm sure when I went to Man City game the QR code changed every hour or so on your phone, so you couldn't send the ticket to anyone else.

Agreed, more advanced tech is surely the answer. There’s one of the new stadiums in Turkey (forget which one) that has face recognition at the turnstile, so your face has to match with the account that bought the ticket. It was brought in to combat hooliganism, and I think they only use it for ‘high-risk’ games, but that kind of thing is the future. *god knows how big the East Stand queues would be then like… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think the line about “a lot of these tickets not being genuine” was an answer in response to a question from the Trust.

Howay. 1984-tastic. I understand the way the world is moving with technology but e-tickets have got to be one of the most pointless changes in football. AFAIC, all they have brought in is all negative; incredibly easy to tout and ridiculous queues at the ground. And that's not just for us either.

JEToon Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) Would have thought more could be done upon entry to validate membership and ticket being used together, align membership with the ticket on the app on the phone so they are being "scanned" together.

It's a weird one because every match is full, so either there aren't that many tickets for sale or the touts take them down and do something else if they don't sell for the exorbitant price. I've never looked, say, on Live Football Tickets a few hours before the match kicks off. Are they all sold by then?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 They should definitely have limited membership sales to a fixed time period. You could still buy 100 memberships in a month I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stricter the conditions to get in, the harder it becomes to tout. The lesser the conditions the easier to tout. I’m not saying you need to go full blown either way, but there has to be a realisation that we can’t have it both ways. Undoubtedly, it should be something that’s under constant review by the club though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper tickets and a restriction on when memberships are sold, say June-July are when they are on sale, no limit to them but once the window is shut it's shut, would reduce it massively imo. Touting was never the issue it was now post-takeover and pre–e-ticket/ballot/changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
