Anyone have a spare for Chelsea away? Can return favour later in the season on my two Execs
Bumping this. Desperately looking for a Chelsea away, can sort you with a spare in return later in the season on Exec applications.

Saw the ticket checks at West Ham Away first hand yesterday, plenty of pics of the pair conducting it doing the rounds on social media.

There is no law or obligation to talk to these men, if they ask to see your ticket ignore them or go to another turnstile.
Be careful. I gave mine away, they got in and I’ve just had a letter through with a three year ban. No idea how they would know.

Whoever you gave it to must have talked. Hard to see how they could prove anything otherwise.

Was it an away game? And people you gave it to have been checked?

feck lad! The fella who had your ticket must have talked. Only way club will know. Regulars who go say they just ignore those ticket checkers, as mentioned here they have no power. I know they are also handing out “survey” forms at home asking match goers how they got the ticket - an Irish ticket Facebook group got caught (rightfully imo as not face value)

Got Chelsea and City away. Gave Chelsea away as flight was moved forward (back from honeymoon day before) - I done the ticket exchange though as thought I’d have to ring TO and ask for a mate I’m giving it to pick it up at Stamford Bridge, but then ticket arrived in post the day I left so was able to pass on - fecking typical!!

The weird thing is they got in the game; surely if they talked they would have been refused entry?

No they just take the details and leave them in. Is the ban away only or did they also take your season ticket!? Either way you can appeal.

No man, they still let the person with the ticket in. They just punish the original owner of the ticket.

Nope. That round of sales sold out a couple of days back.

Heap... keep an eye on the website from about two weeks before the game, they’ll no doubt have another batch of returns on sale then.
Maxed out the tickets on my membership mate. Gave the fam ST's away and now my Dad can make it - so we are two short.

Alright everyone, it’s my 28th birthday on October 28th and I figure that it’s the best sign to finally come over and catch a match. I’m flying from NYC and any info on tickets for the Everton match would assure you a beer or 7 anytime you’re in NYC! It would mean the world to me to be able to go to a match.

Feel free to PM and we can discuss via WhatsApp or here.

I kno h club has corporate hospitality but I have zero interest in sitting with that crowd and would love to stand / sing most of the match.
Any one who could help out with this? Last thing I need sorted for the trip!

Looking for two vs Everton on the 28th for my 28th birthday :)

ID checks on the gates, if you’re not the original ticket holder then they are fecked quite simply.

Club now expect any aways only to be officially transfered to another season ticket holder that was unsuccessful in the ballot.
ID checks ? What the feck ! Then away games are fecked for non ST holders.

I’ve seen clipboards and conversations, but have never seen an ID check. The club do not formally ask away ticket holders to carry ID, as far as I know anyway.

They are stopping fans and asking for names/ID... now the person going to the game has no obligation to answer their questions or show them anything. They can still go to the match. Some fans don't know any better though and give their names/ID etc. If that happens, the person who passed on the ticket has their ST taken off them and they get a lengthy ban. It's really not worth the risk passing on a ticket unless it's someone you know very well and trust 100% as the punishment is so severe (not that I condone it anyway).

And I totally agree with it. It's ridiculous that non ST holders get away tickets cos they are either prepared to pay silly money or because of who they know.
Fully agreed. Tbh, the main issue is the Exec members who pass on the multiple tickets they receive in the applications, so not sure how this can be resolved, short of them restricting their ability to apply for multis.

Was this online? I’ve been keeping an eye out but haven’t seen them go on sale online. Need a couple for friends
Loads went on sale, I managed to get two in section W207 right in the back row.

They had plenty in tier 3 as well.

Used to be the case but not any more. It's the same rules for Execs as well now. Only allowed to go to eligible ST holders

Does anybody ever have any luck calling the ticket office and asking if they have any returns for an away match?

Whenever I try, they just fob me off and say they outbound only for returns... but I've spoken to other fans who say they have been sold them before by calling the ticket office?

Got a call back for juventus away after ringing them 3 times before they rang , not sure was it just pot luck or were they just sick of me.

I was very lucky as well. I'm not a big fan of the day trip; overpriced and I'd rather spend at least a couple of days there, have the opportunity to bring back a load of cheap cigarettes and not leave/get back at ridiculous o' clock in the morning. I have been keeping an eye on Valencia away, which is still available through Thomas Cook, stewing over whether to go in order to build up my credits as they've changed the system this season.

However on Tuesday I just happened to notice there was availability for Juventus. Booked it immediately, must have only been one because as soon as I added to basket it was saying sold out again. Had it all confirmed Wednesday.

So for Europe, just keep an eye on Thomas Cook.
