Be careful giving tickets to your mates.

Dan Whittaker is a loyal LFC supporter. He has spent thousands of pound following them all over the world,Through good time and bad he has continued to go to games when many have stopped due to recent form and results !!!! Dan Had purchased tickets to see the Man City game on the 21st of November 2009. Due to his Mother having an operation he was unable to attend the game and rather than let the ticket go to waste Dan gave his Ticket to a friend. Given what Dan thought to be the opportunity for his friend to enjoy the experience that is Anfield. Stewards took Dan's fan club card off Dan's friends and replaced them with a paper ticket! Liverpool football club then sent a letter to Dan informing him he was banned from buying tickets, as they claim he had sold the tickets for profit!!!!!!

This is a lad who goes around Europe to watch us and is a massive red according to my mate. Be on your guard.

I heard something about this last year on RAWK, if the story is a clear cut as you say then it is a shame.

This happened last week. The lad spends an absolute fortune following us around and then gets this done to him by the club. It's disgraceful.

[Lefti]

Ouch, unlucky Dan. How did they find out that it was Dan and also what proof did they have that he sold it or at a profit at all?

And yet there are fellas still walking around the ground with batches of them, wonder if they will ban that Thomas cook fella?

[Carra_is_legend]

The more fan card holders they ban, the more new fan cards they sell for £29.

I meant 'something like this', it isn't the first time there have been stories like this.

[PaulMcC]

I got tickets off someone who always sorts people out for tickets and he phoned me the next day to make sure there was no problems cos the stewards were meant to be going about checking people's fancards matched their ticket.

Just say you didn't bring your fancard.

There has to be more to this story, otherwise he could sue them. The club allow you to give tickets to others as long as you tell them in advance.

[Woo]

I tried shouting Dan to warn him about this;

He probably just didn't tell them in advance.

[jon lad]

I suspect at least of half the people inside anfield are not the person named on their ticket for the game, whether it is pts, st, paper or whatever else the club offer. If they refused entry to everyone whose name didn't match the one on the card they would immediately have an impromptu stay away protest. If this ever happened to me (and it could every week as i use members card of many of my mates) I would go absolutely mental

But they still can't prove it wasn't sold for face value. I think the story is Chinese whispers to some extent.

Season ticket rule 3.2:

You may only resell or transfer the Season Ticket to a Guest with the express written consent of the Club given at the Club’s absolute discretion. No such resale or transfer will be permitted except where the same takes place in respect of an individual match and in consideration of no payment or benefit in excess of the face value of a ticket to that Match and such transfer does not take place during the course of any business or for the purpose of facilitating any third party’s business. Such resale or transfer to any Guest is hereby provided be subject to the Terms and Conditions of Entry which will (save for any rights to transfer under this clause) apply to that Guest as if he/she was the original purchaser of the Season Ticket (and you must inform the Guest of this).

[Unrighteous]

That's kind of crazy, but its in the rules and had to happen eventually.

I don't agree with it, mind, but maybe those touts outside the ground will get done finally.

[Lucky Pierre]

According to his season ticket, my Dad's been a married woman for 3 years.

He can get it transferred to his name.

How? That would be a lot easier, but I thought the club wouldn't let you do that?

[PaulMcC]

The season ticket i use isn't in my name either.

I think they shouldn't be able to do anything unless they prove you paid over face value for it.

[JohnnyH]

The season ticket in the Upper Cent I used over the last few years before I gave it back was a womens name. Now I do have moobs, but no way could i be confused for a women.

EDIT - having said that, I just press the thing up to the wee screen and wander in, so no one would ever check anyway.

So what did the club give as their proof of his profiteering?

[Hermes]

You just tell them the ticket is being transferred and the name and address of the new owner, providing ID and proof of address. Obviously the person named on the ticket has to to initiate this.

But he robbed it.


Only joking obviously, it'd get cancelled if it was stolen.
Johnny's point's a good'un though. Why didn't the fella just put the card up to the reader? I've used loads of season tickets and nobody's ever checked if it was mine or not.

[PaulMcC]

I didn't think you could transfer season tickets.
