Brighton ticket wrong person

Got a bit of an issue. Bought 2 Brighton tickets thinking nothing of it on 2 season tickets but one of the tickets is my Aunts and going to my best mate.

Just seen on Croydon Advertiser that there will be strict security in place not letting you in if the ticket doesn’t match the ID.

I’ve often gone to away games with friends booked on other tickets with no bother but is this likely to be stringently upheld?

Needless to say both me and my friend aren’t hooligans with any history of violence and just want to enjoy the game but I assume the Security won’t see it that way.

Did you need the section on our website about the tickets then? It was very clear about ID. I could have bought one on my wife's ticket for a mate, as she's in Crete, but when I read it decided it was no go.

Unfortunately not. I actually completely forgot the tickets went on sale and missed out. I asked to be put on the waiting list for returns and was fortunate enough to get 2. Upto this point everything has been done by phone with the Box Office.

At no point, other than minutes before posting this thread, had I seen anything about it and that was just perusing the Croydon Advertiser website.

Had I not seen it, we’d of turned up with a couple of paper tickets and I wouldn’t even have my season ticket with me.

Does your mate have any women's clothes he can wear? Charity shops?

Kick him in the balls before ID checks and he should bend over double and get through.

Sorry to hear that, would think you will have to give the ticket back then.

Just read the info on the Palace website. So it seems they are only saying season ticket and paper ticket have to match. No photo ID is required.

Obviously he's welcome to my Aunts season ticket but surely, even if they match, the word 'Mrs' will prevent him getting in.

Maybe I could try the trans-identity fad that's going around.

In all seriousness though, if he has a matching season ticket with paper ticket, do you see this being a problem?

I def read somewhere that photo ID could be requested as well.

Kermie.....

With the greatest respect mate, what you do in your private life has NO bearing on this topic....& besides 'Cucking' has a better way.

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

There was nothing on the official site about a separate ID being needed. As long as the name on the ticket matches the name on the season ticket then that is what matters.

 

leejaneagles Flag 22 Nov 17 9.00pm

This is so frustrating. Their stupid rule doesn’t stop someone going in with a different name. If this was my Uncle instead of my Aunt then he’d be going in with matching tickets that both say ‘Mr’. Seems we literally won’t get in because of the ‘Mrs’ which is a stupid way to punish fans that would never cause trouble in the first place.

If we did cause trouble and start a riot, they can trace it back to my Aunt anyway and ban her for life the feisty cow.

Oh well, I guess take a punt is the only way but would hate to lose 60 quid.

I'd give it a go if I was you. They probably won't check that closely

 

cryrst Flag The garden of England 22 Nov 17 9.26pm

After this advert I reckon they will be checking now.
Especially Mr and Mrs tickets.
Reckon you should have just tried it without highlighting it.
Then tell us after if it worked.
Only got 2 k to check remember.

I doubt you get many Nora Batty drag acts. Actually looking at the name again, maybe they do.

It's a bit of a long shot, but could you not say that you and your aunt share a season ticket.

If you take her season ticket with you, technically you have a season ticket and match ticket with matching names.

I don't think it's a long shot at all. It's what I would do.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
