Literally couldn't have made it any easier for them. An open goal if you like. A tap in. A 2 minute check would have confirmed this acvount needed investigating. To get a reply back saying they wouldn't be taking any further action was astonishing and proved what I suspected all along.

Did you contact the box office or supporter services? If it was the box office, I’d try supporter services instead (if you’re not sick by now).

I fell for it also @Wallsendmag was only way and now I feel dirty

End of the day mate it was the only way I was getting in to support my team that night. Failed ballot, failed members sale, nowt on resale, exhausted all my other contacts. Was mission impossible unless going down this route. Was literally the first time in my life I'd genuinely been locked out of a home match!

 

One saving grace was that I was always going to report the account and get the supporter number cancelled so I was really disappointed when they said they'd take no action.

The club could save themselves a huge amount of admin and explanation and just buy the tickets on resale to find out seat numbers etc. and then cancel the season ticket.

 

In fact, they'd make their money back by selling the ticket twice. 

 

As long as we have unlimited, unverified, low cost (to a tout) memberships then they'd just sign back up again straight away and sell on a different platform

 

The entire process needs an overhaul to make it harder for fake accounts to buy tickets

Or we go back to paper tickets issued a few days before the game (yes, yes, I know we won't) because that would stop the majority of touting dead in its tracks

True, need a 1 per person policy, verified with ID that matches the name.

And give verified members the facility to transfer their ticket to another verified member via the club system, the same way ST's can be resold or shared

 

So people still have some flexibility if they buy a ticket to give to someone else, or have a ticket but can't make the game etc.

 

If the only way to share a digital ticket is via the club and it can only be done at no cost or face value, then the touts will move on as there's no money to be made

And if someone is sharing all of their tickets, then they're almost certainly touting

Could Hopkins not introduce DNA sampling, Blood, sweat or spit or something? add to Biometric eye recognition at turnstile, no ones getting through that level of security imo 

 

Should be required to piss on the reader and if the DNA doesn't match, back to Stack you go.

Oh great, so now we're excluding fans with stage fright?
