This whole ID thing

[Cadiz Seagull]

It doesn't actually specify photo ID, does it? The only photo ID I have is my passport, and there's no way I'm taking that to football.

Surely bank cards etc are proof enough of ID?

If you're stopped ask the old bill to call me. I'll tell them who you are.

 

[watsongooal]

I am taking my mum. She will confirm that I am indeed who I say I am and then I will leave her to fight the palace outside.

 

[Husty]

Didn't someone on here post that they asked the club who said a LETTERHEAD would suffice, so even MADE UP ID is acceptable.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Photocopy the info/photo page of yr passport? Or take a photo of it on yr phone?

Photos can be manipulated though. I'm sure the plod will want original documents only.

Why not show them your teeth? These are often used to indentify people, I have seen this in the news. You always carry them, unless of course some Palace lads have knocked them out. If the old bill ask who you are show 'em your gnashers. Simples.

I have an identifying boil on my bum. I will show them my arse if they need to know who I am.

My mum would probably say she'd never seen me before.

Very good question by the OP, as the printed conditions received with the ticket did not specify photo ID. Not everyone has a driving licence and taking your passport to a football game is ridiculous, especially when the match ticket has no details of the purchaser on them.

It's got a seat number on it so a quick call giving the seat number will identify who purchased it, simple. Having said that, it's unlikely that they will check unless you cause trouble and then you can expect a ban. Can't see how you can argue with that.

My fan number is registered against a company. My actual name and address aren't associated with my ticket I don't think.

Being realistic. I think this was more a ploy to stop the wallys turning up and causing trouble

That means that the ticket office will have had to sit and individually allocate every single ticket/seat number to its purchaser. I really can't see that happening.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Only taking my season ticket,it really won't be a problem.

Aren't you on the Met database though Sal? They have long memories!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Everyone will have to sit in their allocated seat.

Don't think so. It's stand where you can tonight. No way can they enforce allocated seats tonight.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

The entire ID saga is a JOKE.

They already do that for every away game.

 

[brighton_girl87]

I can't see them checking but if they do I have a variety of cards in my purse - bank card, EHIC card, NI, work ID, young persons rail card, season ticket etc.

I really don't want to take my passport up there!

Hmm I also just realised it's going to be an absolute nightmare if I ever lose my purse!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Just don't give any ID if asked innit and ask if you are being detained.

 

[Safeway]

They already do that for every away game.

Really? Fair enough. What a BORING job.

 

[Nod1986]

I'm going to use my provisional drivers licence for tonight , should be good enough right ?

 

[8ace]

Really? Fair enough. What a BORING job.

And pointless if you are buying more than one ticket - how do you know which is which

 

[marshy68]

i dont what all the fuss is about - just take your passport or Driving license - if you dont have either of those bank cards will have to do. I dont understand why people get so upset about it all.

Because some people NEED something to get upset about.
