It happens every single week. I've had three different lad sat infront of me and they are season ticket holders.

I borrowed mine many times last year as I was so busy with work I couldn't go.

I've had an email from the club, they hope to be able to offer one-off seat upgrades for unused season tickets but at the moment the system doesn't allow it.

So it would seem that it isn't the club being ridiculous. Let's hope they sort it out soon.

I can confirm that tickets were taken by the police as it happened to my sister in law and niece. The sister in law is a season ticket holder in south stand, but niece had been offered two season tickets in west terrace as holders couldn't attend. Sister in law offered to stand with niece and gave her ticket in south to someone else (who got in). Sister in law and niece didn't get in as police took tickets off the owners of them as they were handed over and said "touting is not tolerable" and despite claims that they were ticket owners police didn't want to know. Sister in law and niece didn't get in. I don't know what happened to ticket holders.

When I was going in (good friday), someone got caught and all that happened he was told to pay for an adult one.

I asked one of the guys at the gate about it because I nearly bought a childs ticket off someone and he said all that would happen is you would have to upgrade.

Common sense really.
Why would someone get turned away leaving a free seat?

even as a supposed sell out the stadium looked empty in parts.

As im typing this ive just read about some other people. Discusting if they are turning people away.

Impossible, I tried this for Good Friday as my pensioner parents couldn't make it and I had two non-concession pals who were happy to buy tickets to go.

I went to the ticket office, and my proposal to upgrade (or even pay for two full priced adult tickets for those seats) was not entertained in the slightest. I got the stock answer of "those seats are paid for, it doesn't matter if they're not being used" - yeah, I get that, but I'm offering to pay for them AGAIN - plus the increased revenue at the refreshment kiosks etc. They weren't having it.

So I emailed the club, the Tuesday before Good Friday. Still waiting for a reply...

Bonkers.

At Wigan they cancel the ST card and take it from you and then issue you a paper ticket before posting the ST card back to you after the game.

Makes all kinds of sense.

Soon the penny will drop at Saints too - it's hardly rocket science, is it?
