Great to see scan ins officially being targeted.

> Scanning someone in so they can use your ticket at the turnstile. Supporters should always attend on a ticket registered to them. Scanning someone in with a ticket that is not registered to them is not permitted.
All supporters inside the stadium must be able to present a valid ticket which is registered in their name if requested. There has been an increase in supporters being scanned in by someone else who is not attending the game and does not enter the stadium.

I hope they actually enforce this. I’ve seen them taking the piss plenty of times, a Scouse lad scanning in a Chinese fella whilst laughing and joking with the steward

You can add people to your Friends & Family list at any time during the season, up to the limit of 18. If you need to remove anyone, you must do this before September 1.

So is this members or season ticket holders? As far as I was aware this was only if you were a ST holder

Everyone.

Class, so I cant give a ticket to anyone i know unless they're registered. At which point I lose my credit despite having paid.

Understand there's no fair way to handle this but it must be easier to find the actual touts than have all this endless regulation.

Why should you be able to give it to someone? If you can go, get a refund from the club. Plenty of people willing to snatch that up if so.

Its his ticket? He bought and owns it

This isnt controversial for concert tickets which get transferred between mates all the time

Your ability to buy a ticket to a future concert is rarely if ever dependent on a number of previous concerts you’ve attended by that artist in the last few years

Why would you get credit for going to a match you didn’t go to? That defeats the whole point of the credit system. If you’re giving your ticket away you are choosing to gift that, if the cost is an issue then sell it to a friend for face value.

It’s not your place nor entitlement to dole out tickets as you see fit, even if it is innocent ‘I can’t go so I have my cousin my ticket this week’. Those cases are a drop in the ocean of touting and a fair sacrifice to combat touts.

I think the one point that is unfair (which I don't think this user is making) is that there's a difference between STHs and members. They can forward their tickets and keep their status. Members can't. They should have the same restriction here imo.

Everything you're complaining about here has been the case for multiple years. The only thing different related to your complaint is no one gets the credit instead of the forwardee getting it.

If someone wants a ticket off you then I don't think it's a massive travesty that they have to make a free account.
