Season Tickets

Yes you can. When Ive done this, ive done it via Villa support on Twitter. They're very quick in helping as well, and will email you the pdf

Quick question - due to seriously bad planning, we can't go to the first game . I want to gift my seats to a friend but would prefer not to give them the cards as they dont live especially local to me .........vaguely remember that I can ask for a pdf ticket to pass on - is this still a thing and if so, how do you go about it ?

Cheers

Yes, if you phone the ticket office up they should facilitate this for you.  Your friends will need a fan ID.  If they don't have one you can use someone else's ID (if they are not attending) as the tickets will be e-mailed to both you and them so you should be able to get them to your friends.  If you need any ID's I could help as neither of my kids are going.

** this is how it used to work anyway

Forgive my ignorance, though are you officially allowed to 'gift' your ST for the odd game you cannot make to a friend/relative?

I thought the options were:
1. Give them the ST card in the expectation they won't be asked for id, or
2. Hope the club might sell the seat to anyone and get a refund (that is marginally lower than the cost of the ST divided by the no. of games).

I've renewed our STs again and the letter mentions the ST resale facility and states, "this remains the only authorised way to resell your season ticket." UTV

I have used the facility of phoning up and reassigning the odd game to someone else when I can't attend. Whoever you assign it to will need a client reference setting up if they haven't already so you probably need some basic details (DOB, address etc)

Thanks Bully.

Yes you can, but officially you have to re-assign the ticket to the individual and they have to have a fan id.

How they police this though I'm not sure - can they ask you for ID in the ground to prove the ticket is allocated correctly? Sounds a bit of a dodgy request.."Show me your papers" type thing.

The other difficulty is swapping a concession ticket to a full-price adult one - as you have to pay the difference or gamble on not getting stopped at a turnstile. You can only do this via the phone.

It's not policed.  If you get a paper ticket you can give it to anyone.  If you trust them you can pass your season card to anyone.  It only because a potential problem when you're passing on a concession ticket.

It hasn't been in the past - but they are clamping down on ticket swapping etc... so I just wonder if/how they could manage it.

One thing I'm convinced of is that they're not going to start asking for ID at a turnstile unless a concession issue arises.

a certain % of away tickets you have to collect at venue and show ID. All done randomly by game

Yes, but that's not the same as passing your home ST to a mate.

Will all be fingerprint access soon. Or some other digital crap where they can restrict the less fortunate

If the working class don't have fingers, the only way they'd not have fingerprints, how do they work? Or mash absolute shite into their phones for the rest of us to see?

That’s some fucking moan even for you. You really are a champion for impoverished British working class men and women.
