[Albion] FA Cup 4th round ticket sales

[Neville's Breakfast]

There is...

"and suspended more than 100 online accounts."​

​

...so those 100 people won't be buying tickets again.

I interpreted that sentence as about the ticket purchasers. It’s not clear that it refers to the people who sold on their tickets but if that’s the case then great.

Split of STH and members would be interesting

Sure there will be a few sob stories on Twitter and Facebook despite being told repeatedly

And there will be support for that crying on here from a hard core of posters who think they can do whatever they want with their ticket once purchased.

Good - there was some pathetic mud slinging at the club over this, like they had any control in the first place so good to see they’ve clamped down on it

Agreed. Perhaps there'll be a lot less of that on here and also the tired false equivalence trotted out again and again from some that the club want to make away fans life a misery to ensure fans don't abuse the loyalty scheme but as for home fans - then its fill your boots. They just don't care about touting at the Amex or scousers or gooners sitting in the North Stand etc. Clearly they do.

What other accounts does then club have the power to suspend? It will be the accounts of those that originally bought the tickets from the club and sold them on.

Yes, you’re right.

The touts could have set up multiple accounts as well to try and harvest tickets up for high profile games.

High profile games require purchase history. This is Albion fans selling to touts and now paying the price.

The article mentions other games with away fans in the home end. It’s entirely possible some of those accounts banned belonged to touts and have been used undetected for a number of seasons.

I'm sure they announced it as 29k something over the tannoy, was surprised as i thought it was a sell out.

Yeah it is now but certainly wasn’t for a long while after the game.

Going back to Sunday. My £25 ticket would not download into my google wallet. For two days I tried multiple times but to no affect. In the end I had to go to the ticket office and eventually pay an extra £2.50 for a paper ticket.
The girl said all of the advice that was given on here about scanning or handing a phone over the turnstile would not work or be allowed.
In the end a small price to pay for a brilliant result.

Curious about what advice she said wouldn’t work?

My son @Wrong-Direction had my ticket on his phone which wouldn't download into my wallet.
I was able to get it on my computer and tablet obviously a bit big to take!
I took a decent picture of the ticket and code on my phone.
We discussed both going to the turnstile and if I wasn't able to gain entry with the photographed ticket he would give me his phone after he had gained entry.
She said this wasn't allowed.
I didn't understand why but I wasn't going to argue as I wanted to get in Dicks so I paid the £2.50
Looking back it didn't make sense as all my details were on the ticket.
Oh well UTA !

Sorry meant to reply to you.

You can definitely have more than one ticket in a single wallet on the same phone and hand it over, I've done it a few times.

I heard that too.

Same here, they watched me do it on Saturday as i sent my daughter in first, then followed her in.

It wasnt the QR code mind, used the NFC for both,
