Photo ID now required to purchase tickets

As I say, just don't do it, and don't go to the matches then.  It really is no skin off my nose.

It's fine if it's a way of getting fans back more quickly. If it's an ongoing requirement then that's a huge issue as far as I'm concerned.

However, it does still suggest that football fans can't be trusted. If tickets have to be bought online say, or via telephone, then bank details (or card details) have to be provided to make payment then asking for an address  at the same time should be enough. As it would be when booking a ticket for the theatre, or going to the pub.

It's not a massive inconvenience, but a concerning one.

You quoted me and I replied, no need to go all sulky drawers.

Yeah I used to sit by a lady and one of her two sons, as the the two boys would take it in turns as one worked weekends the other worked nights. It worked well for them to share a ticket. This would stop some arrangement like that.

They are causing inconvenience to lots of fans for no benefit that I can see. Did they even consult with the Trust before coming out with these ideas?

BUT IT'S FOR COVID WHEN CAPACITY IS GOING TO BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED, NOT FOR THE SCENARIO YOU'VE JUST DESCRIBED!!!111

And why on earth would they consult with the Trust?

If boy A's name and photo was on the ST and was pulled out of the ballot but it wasnt his turn to go, Boy B could no longer attend.

I think the club has confirmed that U14 do not need a photo.

To clarify, the "boys" in question were both in their 20s/30s.

They can have a nude if they want, as long as they let me in.

It must only be me that sends their kids on night shift...apologies re-read thread! Maybe  half and half id card should be introduced akin to the scarves...

[cdbearsfan]

Maybe a hologrammatic photo so it looks like one brother from a certain angle but the other if you tilt it? I'll phone the club to suggest.

They may want proof at the turnstile that it's you!

Seriously, if the club having a photo of you on record upsets you so much you can't have that many things to worry about in real life.  It's almost like some people like to find things to moan about.

I understand the transferring of tickets argument at some point in the future, but you can already get a prtint out ticket to pass on so I'm not sure why people are panicking even if (and it's a big IF) the club did decide to roll this out long term.

I take it that you won't mind being reminded of this every time you complain about anything at the Villa again, ever?

I reckon the half'n'half scarf sellers won't be best pleased about this.
