Supporters are reminded of the rules regarding the distribution of away match tickets.
Tickets that supporters purchase for away matches are for the sole use of the assigned owner – only assigned 1901 member owners may, without charge, transfer away tickets, although they remain responsible for their guests.
It has come to our attention this season that away tickets are increasingly being passed on to other supporters who are ineligible to purchase. This results in supporters who are not attending games gaining loyalty points and legitimate attendees being blocked from buying.
There have been a number of arrests and ejections of supporters whose details do not match the ticket owner’s details.
We are therefore advising all supporters that in line with our terms and conditions that there will be ad-hoc ID checks.
Starting with our away game against Brentford in October, away tickets will have names and fan numbers written on them and some tickets will at random be retained and held for collection at away grounds with matching photo ID required for entry.
Any supporter found to be passing on away tickets will be subject to a ten-home match ban, during that time the excluded supporter will not be able to purchase away tickets and a 50-point loyalty point deduction will be made.
