How are people doing this safely?
I want to give my wife's Celtic ticket to a close pal with fan id. Club won't allow this. Season ticket or members only.
Could he log in to my wife's app? Is it worth the risk?
Failing that, the club don't want tickets back as not refundable, yet must be a queue of people who want these tickets?
-
I transferred tickets for the Celtic and Bologna games - to Villa fans with IDs BTW. Why won't they re-allocate them?
-
After a long wait I was told they had to be members or season ticket holders.
I do wonder if I spoke to someone else I might get a different answer.
-
We do it quite a lot for various health and age reasons.
You can transfer a ticket as long as the person has a fan ID.
I've also done it for Celtic... so the answer you have been given seems odd.
-
I guess they're on edge because of Celtic fans trying to get tickets in the home end. Try asking on the Twitter/X @AVFCSupport account. DM them, say your wife's ill and can they transfer it to your mate. Provide the new fan ID in your DM.
-
OK, I called again and as the tickets sold out when available to members, thats the criteria for transferring tickets.
So short of my mate using my wifes login which worries me due to hightened security...I might well have 2 tickets for sale.....but they would need to be member or season ticket holder.
-
I'm going to keep quiet about mine then as the fan ID is definitely not a member.
-
This was the response from the twitter account. At least it’s consistent.
Hi. We can confirm that tickets can be transferred if you are no longer able to attend the Celtic match.
Tickets can be transferred by calling the ticket office on 0333 323 1874. Phone lines are open until 5pm.
Please note that the supporter wishing to attend must be eligible in the current sales window, which is members or a season ticket holder.

Managed to log family member in to wife’s app and download the ticket. A little nervous about accessing stadium. My wife isn’t a 6’6 man!!

I bet they see all sorts! You'll be fine.
-
Could you find someone who is a ST holder or member, but not going to the game?
Once tickets are transferred, you seem to be able to forward them to whoever you like.
So maybe you could officially transfer them to someone who qualifies, then unofficially transfer them onwards?
This is how it works when I transfer my season ticket. They send the transferable ticket to me in the name of the person I'm transferring it to, then I send it to the person I'm transferring it to, ((but could actually send it to anyone).
I am not 100% sure it would go the same in a match by match ticket though?

How did this go? I bought 2 tickets for Ipswich. One is on my ID and the other is on my mum’s. But that 2nd ticket is for my 7 year old lad who doesn’t have an ID. It’s his first game and we are driving 3 hours up from Kent. The thought of us not getting in breaks my heart.

Only just realised that trying to sell your ticket on the Villa website doesn’t really work!
Put my Brighton ticket up for resale on the website and thought nothing of it. Then a mate of mine said he would have my ticket and I said it was available for resale on the website. However although showing it for resale on my account it was NOT available to purchase on the website. When I phoned up about this I was informed that all resale tickets are not released for sale until a certain percentage (which she couldn’t/wouldn’t tell me the figure) of available tickets have been sold. Apparently the Brighton game has a load of available tickets so therefore my ticket was never going to be released to be sold!
This explains why I have never before been able to sell my ticket using the Villa website; in the end I just transferred the ticket to my mate.
Fair to say I will never be using the resale facility on the Villa website ever again!
-
Even when it doesn’t for sale it might not get shifted if it’s a single ticket.
Mine didn’t sell for Man City game.
I can’t go to Leeds game but have given it for free to chap who sits next to me and hope he’ll do the same when he can’t go.
There may have been more demand for that because it’s a rare Saturday 3 o clock but it didn’t seem worth the hassle and at least this way I know it will be used,
-
My single ticket has resold ok when I've made it available through the App.
However, it is a seat behind the dugouts, so it's possible that the club GA+ it even if other tix are still available
-
Agree with Achilles, the resale thing is crap. First time I did it, it never sold fair enough. But this season the Everton game, I saw my seat available then unavailable and my Witton Upper muckers confirmed that there was a bloke in my seat. I never saw a penny back.
Anyhoo, I couldn't make the Salzberg game, so found a way to transfer to a mate.
-
My son had a ticket for the Lille home game, he's couldn't attend it he a season ticket holder, could he have transfer it to someone officially who's a member at cost price?,

Yes I think so
-
In fact he could probably transfer to anyone with a Villa account, not even a member.

As long as they have a fan ID you can move it on.

Thanks for the replies
-
Apologies if it seems obvious but I have a couple of questions, as I don't go to matches amy more.
If I have been offered a ticket for Thursday, can I get in without being a member. If so, how do I do it?
Many thanks.

I think you just need a fan ID number i.e. you have previous ticket booking history.
-
And how do I get one now...the last match I went to was Blues, (Alan Hutton game) in the Championship 2018!!
-
What about if I went to Villa park today and purhased a ticket for the next Women's game Would that do it?
-
If the person offering the ticket has it in their Google Wallet then they should be able to just transfer it to you. I would guess it's the same for Apple.
If you're getting a ticket via the Villa app then I'm not sure. You can register for a fan ID here:
https://members.avfc.co.uk/register (https://members.avfc.co.uk/register)
Fan IDs have been around since Ellis so it's possible you already have one.
-
Gat many thanks. Someone showed me at work how to register and get one.

I can’t make the Liverpool game now it’s been moved back to the Friday. How do I send it back to the club for a possible resale?

You need to login and go to your account and then the Tickets section. From there you need to click the "resale tickets" button. However, due to the late change of kick off time this condition will apply to you:
Any fan who purchased a ticket(s) before Friday 8th May and cannot attend the new kick off time is eligible for a refund by contacting the ticket office no later than 72 hours prior to kick off. All tickets purchased after this date and time are Non-Refundable
...if you go the resale option there's a decent chance it won't resell. The above guarantees your refund but it doesn't say how. I interpret that to mean you need to call the ticket office.
