foreverarover Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Rovers director has just informed the club's fan through the club's fantalk forum that all Ticketed matches require fans to provide name and address. Are they trying to drive us away from football altogether. I would only assume you would require photographic identification or really what is the point. How would this work with online or phone sales. Any thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly seems strange something like this would be put in place now and not last year with games v Sevco. Or maybe it's to identify those exuberant Hibs fans intent on goading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam_barnett Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Ludicrous, if we're being completely strict about it, will we have to provide details to get into St Mirren away or QOS away as technically speaking they are all-ticket games even if we just turn up & get one outside the ground? same could be said about Easter Road but in Rovers' case we normally sell tickets in advance for that one anyway.

Broken Algorithms Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Having games like Rovers vs the Pars as an all ticket game is absolutely bollocks anyway? Police Scotland are a total joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans had to give the same details for tickets bought ahead of our cup tie at Ibrox. It is being driven by the Scottish Government. It only applies at the moment to advance purchases not matchday purchases. It is acknowledged that it isn't practical with pre match purchases. It is also acknowledged that not every person buys their own ticket. The onus is on the purchaser effectively to be responsible for the behaviour of the user of the ticket they bought. So it doesnt impact on phone or online purchases, the responsibility is still with the purchaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrWeGo Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hooligan element of p&b coming through here, if you behave properly at the football, why object to something trying to increase your safety? Think of the children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 This has been done in the past for our games against Dunfermline. Apart from matches vs Hibs (and play-offs), the reality is none of our games are going to be 'all-ticket' affairs. No great issue with it but seems a tad over the top IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of our matches are technically all ticket (nor should they be with 3800 seats for away fans, and 4500 for home) but Police Scotland insist on Hibs/Dunfermline matches being "all ticket" before letting the club announce on Friday evening that you can pay at the gate. By which time people have decided not to bother. A totally pointless exercise but the only people who get hurt are the clubs, right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
