Agree we need to move with the times. Its okay people saying u know the rules but when they change so often its confusing!

Start of season...new rule on tickets
After game 1......problem identified, apology from club, new clarified rule issued
No change since. I'm really worried for you if that's "so often"

As for the whole contractual relationship / using mates ticket etc, this is a problem for all sports clubs. Some have spent thousands of pounds introducing additional technology. Some have actually increased prices (thus reducing the benefit of season tickets) to compensate them for such use.

absolute spot on unless they are going to start putting your photo on the s/t if its paid for does it really matter unless its a certain 60 y/old using a wolfpack ticket

Utter toss, what does it matter? How about lost revenue from people who may pay to come to a game? Think that's fairly important, don't you?
Quite a lot of people try to get in using junior tickets both home and away, go and blame them, or is that acceptable as its human nature?

Why don't the club get with the times and have cards which you just scan as you go in? We have had them for years. It is meant to be a new stadium. Where are the moderns facilities to make things easier?

We should rent our stadium from a football club, we'd have one then eh? That's the only reason you have one.

You never cease to miss the point, it's really quite amazing.

I had my ticket ripped out my book to hand the operator took the book off me and asked me my address ?????

All you need to do is rip the ticket out of the book so that it's ready, but then keep the book in your hand so the operator can see it.

Been doing that since 1993 with no problems.
