I wonder if the 100 are all 'genuine' fans who go to games regularly? Or are they just 'touts' setting up accounts with lots of clubs to try and get tickets for big games they know they can sell on at a profit. Genuine fans doing this thinking they can get away with it must be a bit thick!!100 just in February according to this Argus article

Not quite the same. These were touts buying tickets for home games, not Brighton fans being banned from away games.
I have no idea to be honest as I've only ever used my North stand season ticket in my own name to get away tickets.

Well , in reply to that the wording within the letter i have seen would be considered ambiguous , FACT
I wonder if the wording on the letters we have seen is the same ?
would you be so kind to PM the one you have if possible ?

The club is culpable for allowing non registered guests...

I'm still able to travel to Wembley today and was going to enquire about buying one of these guest tickets off a S T H (for no more than face value). This thread has put me right off, and no doubt there will be hundreds of empty seats in our part of the stadium meaning thousands pounds lost by STHs, while I sit at home forced to only watch on TV. Only winners are the Club, the FA and the taxman (VAT not refundable).
No sign of any ticket / ID checks.

Yeah and I was shocked that bottles were in with BOTTLE TOPS! And guess what, no-one was killed or hurt.
More seriously, my mate who often goes to Wembley, had his sandwiches confiscated which are always allowed, but was allowed in with his drink which isn't. The organisation was shambolic.
Ha, my bottle top got taken from me. So clearly some inconsistency.

I wil admit to sneaking in a Pork Pie yesterday.
Not even searched on the way in or any ID check.

well there couldn’t be given the allowing of guests, with the ST/1901 member name on.
I took both in. Security guy asked 'what's in your pockets?' - I said 'wallet, keys, sandwich'. Didn't bother telling him about the bottle as that was in my hand. However the staff / security on the concourse had no idea where the cold water taps were.

I had all our tickets on my phone, six in all. They were shown as 1 x Adult and 5 x 65+/U21. I asked the steward how to go about getting us all in. I was first and luckily my ticket came up first on the wallet. Then he said don't worry about the order just all come through on any ticket. There was no check as to ages at all. Then, as the 'guests' had seats away from the STH's I'd given them a piece of paper with their seat numbers on. A steward asked to see their seat ticket and they showed the peice of paper and were directed to the seats!
But in all honesty, when we first arrived I had to take junior up to see the pitch and a kind steward took photos for us, something I find a lot in London.

All the can`t transfer tickets thing is bollocks. If you bought a ticket then as you were allowed, bought two GUEST tickets. It`s obvious you cant use three yourself. I bought two guest tickets and my guests downloaded them onto their own phones. I`m OAP and haven`t got smart phone so had a print out ticket.
I did think Wembley service was pretty good considering there were nearly three times as many people there than at the Amex. Poor old Solly he`s been having a great season but will be remembered for eternity for his miss !!
