Not what I meant - membership is free to get GUEST tickets not the odd pass on of a season ticket. Yes I’m well aware of why it’s cheaper to get a season ticket many thanks - the gap between season ticket price per match and match by match tickets is way too big. And no, I have a season ticket and rarely miss a game myself thanks. You assumed a lot wrong there - the club are allowed to be criticised occasionally…

What law is it please and how many arrests have been made for people attending a football match in someone else’s name? Pls link the law here.

I see they have sold now, which is good, but you could have bought your seats in your friends names on the exchange, asked them for a tenner each, you would have your money back and your friends would have gone to the game.
Surely they would have been happy to pay a tenner for an Albion ticket?

Ah so there you go - it’s only ‘illegal’ if the club don’t agree - which they used to be fine with. Makes it look even worse for the club. And it’s really not a law that is followed either…

Sorry phone playing up! Seen that and replied above. It’s only ‘illegal’ if the club refuse to grant permission. More greed. All clubs the same it’s not just us.
- Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 (CJPOA 1994).
- Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (VCRA 2006).
- Ticket Touting (Designation of Football Matches) Order 2007
"you could have bought your seats in your friends names on the exchange" really ?

Or they could have done it themselves, but yeah. Would just need their fan numbers
Of course yes......Sure all of us know and have read these.
Everything these days seems to be how to make things as complicated as possible.
However admit I`m a technophobe.

This is NOT greed by the club(s). The club have to have measures in place to comply with the 1994 Act.

You don't need to know about or read them. The club put processes in place in order to comply. We then just follow that process.

Of course it is. The ‘act’ that’s from the Man U website I notice, clearly says ‘without authorisation of the club’. So the club could say it’s fine to pass on tickets (like we always did at Withdean, the Amex etc etc for years) and you could. It’s 100% down to the club as it used to be fine to do and not ‘illegal’. People swallow up what the club say in this one waaaaay too easily.
Yep, season tickets are a bargain. *salutes Tony Bloom*

You are forgetting that it's now a requirement that clubs know who is attending. Hence the process that's in place - not just the Albion, but other clubs too.
Anyway, as usual we all just go round and round in circles on this one ... so I'm out.
The club also has to follow Premier League rules. These changed just last summer, apparently.
Gonna take a stab in a dark here and suggest you're not across these.
