Stadium Ban

[Balj]

I think the resale platform works well but as its limited to 3 goes it certainly challenges me - not because I can't be bothered going to games but living 50 miles away midweek games are an absolute nightmare. Take into account family holidays/weddings etc you can go over the 3 limit without much difficulty. I've missed a couple of midweeks already (resold on the platform) so statistically I'm likely to go over 3 by the end of the season. The Villa game will be midweek for example.

 

One solution may be to average resales over a longer period say 10 over 2 seasons - appreciate that may be hard to administer but most ST's hold their ST's for more than 2 years.

 

Overall I know the score when I renew so my loss but don't like seeing empty seats.

Say a couple want to take their two U16 kids to a one-off league match for a treat, or to see if they like it enough to go more regularly.  A bog standard Cat B match in the Kop is going to set them back £222 (£126 for tickets and £96 for memberships).  I think that's out of order. 

It's the greed of the modern game. Our club unfortunately and willingly takes part.

Guess the only good thing to come out of this is that people are aware of the consequences of what seems a trivial thing to do. 

That's what i was thinking, i know every fan should know the rules, but, as i've found out in the past there's rules upon rules,  the fact the ticket has been sold here for not a lot of money , leads you to think it's a genuine mistake, i think a slap on the wrist would have been more fitting.

It's hard to put a number on how many matches a STH should be able to sell on the resale platform. You shouldn't be selling more than half of the games back, there are people waiting for ST's who are forking our a lot of money on memberships and matchday tickets. Maybe 5 is more reasonable than 3. I missed 2 home games in October as I was away for half term but I am trying to ensure I don't miss any other home games now (not always easy with family commitments etc.).

 

Some people travel a long way and fixture rescheduling to Mondays or midweek might not be ideal.

 

I would feel uncomfortable selling to a complete stranger on here unless they were a regular poster and had some reviews from other people. Even if you give a ticket to a friend or someone you trust, if they let you down then at the end of today, your name is on that ticket and you are responsible. So it is always a risk and can't blame the club for reacting. Maybe they should be more lenient and listen on a case by case basis if possible.

I would offer a resale section for matches that are moved to different days, so Saturdays for most people should be fine but midweeks, Monday nights, Tuesdays after Bank Holidays etc should be available regardless of the amount of times they occur. 

 

I do think STHs genuinely want to attend every game but with kick off changes most weeks it is getting tougher and I would rather be able to give my seat back when I can't attend. If this is the potential outcome then sadly it will remain empty if I can't go.

memberships aren't really a gamble anymore are they. I got both my kids memberships last year, there wasn't one game i couldn't get tickets for that i wanted. For the bigger games i just made sure i was online at 8am. We've now got enough points this season where even for the bigger games i don't have to log on at 8am anymore to be guaranteed 3 tickets next to each other. Not really arguing the point about memberships being a rip off or whatever, but they're certainly far from a gamble these days

That's exactly where I am with it. Completely agree.

I'm ****ing crushed. Obviously no refund on this seasons ST and I lose the seat permanently now. I've been there a decade. I was just trying to help someone out. Sounds ridiculous but im absolutely broken. Every 2 weeks I get a bit of a break and some escape. That's now gone.

Have you spoken with the club? Or the people mentioned near the beginning of the thread, I think @CosbehFoxlinked someone who might be able to help?

 

I'm so sorry for what's happened.  And no, it doesn't sound ridiculous at all, I think many of us can empathise.

Pretty grim mate, really sorry to hear it. I would definitely put your appeal into the club to explain what’s happened.

Just explain to the club surely they will reverse this?

...he has a point though!!!

The forum could be viewed as abeting, perhaps the mods have already looked into it and have had legal counselling regarding it.

  It should be interesting to hear what the mods have to say in this respect, it does leave them open for punishment and not from the club itself.

A warning or, at worst, a ban until the end of the season would get the message across. The ops side make lots of short sighted decisions - OP will have spent £0000s with the club and there’s a good chance he might not bother again after the ban ends and for what? To uphold some stickler T&Cs?

[PAULCFC]

Sorry to hear this.No fault of your own @sdb,just seems trying to help someone!At the other end of the scale i sold my tickets for Villa on the resale thing as i couldn't go,then it got cancelled and from what i've heared the only way i'm going to that is to pay full price now!

I'm amazed there is no process or scale involved here. A straight up 2 year ban with no warning or strike system seems totally disproportionate.

Agreed, you've signed up and paid for a season ticket then start crying when you don't want to use your season ticket and expect some money back for it from the people who sold you your season ticket lol. Imagine going to my train provider and saying 'i have an annual pass but i didnt use it on wednesday 26th october so i want £7.38 back!! its my right!!' In fact I got fined £238 last year for sharing my annual pass with my wife when the rail provider found out!! Anyway i'll leave railway ranting to another thread

I get why tickes resale laws are in place, but how come Anfield is filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of tourists every week?

 

Never seen so many foreign tourists in a single place before.

 

That can't be above board?

A good number of packages sold by then but yeah there’s a huge black market there. Also common for away ends to have foreigners in at the big grounds because it’s easier to get a ticket that way
 

Liverpool lost a lot of goodwill with a minority of their supporters when the club began to encourage tourism over real fans in the early 90s

[AshbyBlue]

Last year i know a lad st holder who come out the symphony rooms at the Brighton game and had a bit of trouble with some away fan who spat in his face so he banged him out and the police nicked him and got a caution and they reported him to the club and he got a 5match ban.So selling a ticket a 2year ban seams a bit extreme.

Clubs no longer want and even despise your traditional football fan they want the overseas tourist supporter ready to spend a thousand pound on shit merchandise from the club shop.

.. perhaps unlike us, they have a walk up system as their ground is big enough to accommodate such ideas!!!

[Sambiasso]

I've said it a few times over the past few months, LCFC is no longer a family club! All about extracting every last pound from each customer. if they can attract fans from abroad who'll spend that's who they want at the club, not the likes of us who don't buy anything.
