West Ham "ticket forwarding"

[half time scores]

Hanged means you end up dead. Hung drawn and quartered is correct as the second part is pretty pointless if you've been hanged.

They were not hung until death, after hanging, they were placed on a table, revived and then had their meat and two veg removed along with the intestines sometimes inviscerated, then came death.

Well maybe, but at least it would formalise a process which at the moment seems a bit too informal. The clubs stance is completely different to what is happening in reality and that doesn't make sense. £5 may be too steep, but something like that would be welcome I feel.

The process sounds excellent, I agree.

Would not work at the Amex imagine these random west ham fans popping up and causing trouble at the amex! A crazy idea!

 

[Brovion]

Given we run our 'ticket exchange' from Survey Monkey I think this idea might be a little be too progressive for some within the club.

I know, that really surprised me when I saw it, we'd be better off having real monkeys running the system.

Well done WHU. So, just to be clear tickets CAN be used by people other than the original purchaser and this does not in fact break any regulation regarding 'Football Fans the Ticketing thereof' - despite what we've been told to the contrary.

Apparently not allowed if shared without going through a club organised scheme.

Of course, lots of people at every club share ST's with family or friends, and have done for years, but it now appears our club are going to take "strong action" against any of our ST holders caught sharing.

Are they ?

in the last 12 months there has been a
a) Warning to Adult fans about using u18 or u21 tickets to gain entry - fair enough
b) warning to Adult fans about using loyalty points to purchase Away tickets for friends without loyalty points - due to fan complaints
c) A few reminders to fans about the upgrade policy (6 times a season) for ST holders to upgrade u10s/u18s/u21s etc to Adults for Sky/evening matches etc. - a policy, the club say, is more flexible than most other clubs. I've used it a lot personally this season as i have 3 sons, Mrs CJ (and me) who all like football but only 3 tickets and they are teenagers with other commitments sometimes. I appreciate the ability to share things around.

but perplexed about this perceived "strong action" and crackdown on the far more common Adult gives S Tickets to other Adult if they can't make a match. That one must have passed me by. Because i also use that a few times a season too and if they did it would be stupid.

Indeed, are they or aren't they. Suppose we'll have to wait and see.

And if they do take "strong action", what form will that action take?

hang on a minute. You said they were - now its "wait and see" .
Its wait and see because they're not. and they won't. Its stupid, virtually impossible to enforce, and is very low risk compared to the other issues.

This is sounding a bit like the Blackadder 'Scarlet Pimpernel cyanide pill' sketch.......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqq8fG5l4Kg

I didn't say they were, I said it "appears [they are]" because that's what the statement says.

I'm basically asking the question as to whether they will or not, hence my second post.

I think you've misunderstood the statement. The bit about reallocation of STs means that if you don't want to renew, for whatever reason, then it just goes to someone on the waiting list and you can't pass the seat on to a family member or friend.

I'm sure that the club will continue to turn a blind eye to the casual sharing of a ticket between mates, provided it's not an adult using a concession ticket.

Out of touch with the core supporters and PB has no reality of this.

I suppose not being a lifelong fan he wouldn't.


Two ears and one mouth, it's good to listen to your customers.

 

[amexer]

Fully justified in stopping adults using junior tickets although would help in saying you can upgrade for all evening games. Can understand if complaints received concern about away tickets. Just badly dealt with. Only needed some discreet spot checks instead of winding so many people up. However not been able to pass season ticket on is mad. There must be so many pairs go. If there spouse, partner, friend,or relative is unable to renew or dies it is unreasonable to tell these people sorry you now have to go on your own. I do know if I had to go on my own I wouldnt enjoy it so much and am sure some would stop going. I am sure club will review this

Like the lifelong fan who owns the club and sanctions what the CEO does or the fans who complained that people were abusing the loyalty points system or do they not count. ?

 

[bravohotelalpha]

They need to fill their stadium whereas we don't when getting full houses at moment. But it does seem a better system all be it TicketMaster taking a cut

But don't we employ an external agency for our match ticket sales ?

 

[The Wizard]

Ticketmaster scum! For that reason I'm out.

Of course TB has to let PB do his job but at the end of the day the customer is always right and PB is not one of us and only knows of our history, he hasn't gone through the tough years, fans and club a like he will not have the same empathy and understanding us common-or--garden fans have.
Perhaps he is just getting us 'Chinese ready'.

Hey Jem, are you new to the club or do you just work for them

I was new to the club once when i rocked up in 1973 and saw us lose to Chelsea 2-0 in the FA Cup. Quite an intro to the Albion. I've been a few times since then on and off - now very much on. Although whether you've supported the club for 40 odd years or 4 months or not at all then i'm not sure why it doesn't mean you can't express a view about whether PB or TB have fans interests in mind when they make decisions OR if you tend to agree with them from time to time then you simply must have a financial stake or ulterior motive for doing so... BOO TO YOU MOULDY. (PS: my real name and real job is in my bio - i'm guessing yours isn't)

 

[Creaky]

There have been far too many occasions, (due to illness), over the last 12 months when I haven't been able to go to matches - I have tried to make sure that my season ticket has been used and have never taken a penny in exchange - I'm sure I won't be alone in this.

A simple scheme like WH's whereby I could let the club know I can't use my seat for a particular match which would then allow them to pass this on to someone who in normal circumstances couldn't afford to go strikes me as an excellent idea.

I don't understand all the posts saying "well WH can afford to do so", (or similar). Where is the cost to the club for such a scheme?

Hey Jem, you can have an opinion.

I just believe that some time people take their 'eye off the ball' about real life.

Look at the recent Tory gaff, PB can do a u turn as well, not that i think he will, power is very important to some people. I would see it as a strength.

I don't hide from anyone Jem, i have always posted under the same profile, many on here know me including the club and not all agree with me. One thing i will say i am consistently straight and will admit when i am wrong.

When the initial dull and boring footie was being served up by Hughton , with one up front at home and it was dire i told the club when i didn't renew my ST, how many other fans would bother with there true feedback

Isn't it great that NSC have so many different opinions.
