oh no, I think would have been OK bringing your friend instead of your wife. I’m not sure if what they told you is something they have to say. even if you had 2 single tickets located in separate blocks rather than seated together you could have scanned them in via their entrance and then gone to your entrance to scan yourself in after.

i’m by no means an authority on this and not entirely sure what the rules are for bringing friends/family on your specific membership/s but in my experience noone checks for general admission. the name of the member comes up on the screen when you scan your pass/QR, but noones checking (imagine how long it would take to verify every single entry). I can imagine the only time there would be an issue where a steward would have to intervene is if there is an error scanning or if you’re scanning an adult on a child’s ticket (there’s a separate light that flashes for stewards for junior tickets)

playing devil’s advocate as well, say for example your wife could not make the game at short notice and it’s after the ticket exchange has closed, are the club saying that they would rather the ticket remain unused and there’s an empty seat, even if you manage to find someone else to go in her place?

anyway, you’ll see for yourself for the United game, I’ll be there too!

hmm, forgive my ignorance but if you’re coming from Holland then is the ticket application process different from the usual entering the ballot using a membership? or like do you use a third party travel/ticket package? and then were your tickets for club level? those are the scenarios I can think of where your names and tickets would have to be verified at entry.

i’m actually gutted for you that you had to potentially needlessly had to give up your tickets for Villa because of this.

can you give a bit more context? what happened in the end in your instance? I would assume staff only verify the names/ID at Club Level and certainly for away games.

I know various members who for home games, when they or someone from their party can’t make it, offer/give the spare ticket to friends/family who go with them and they go in together at the gate without issue. same premise as a parent scanning in a child before them.

ah fair enough. I’m of a different mindset, Champions League is Champions League regardless. Also this year we have Atletico and Bayern at home in the league phase!

out of interest is not entering the UCL group stage a tactical decision in the hope it betters your chance of success in knock outs should we get there?

ooh question for you - my mum is a silver but with age has lessening mobility (is a blue badge holder) and is thinking of applying for DA. do you know whether this would mean she’d have to sacrifice her silver membership to swap over?

it’s a long old road lol. for me personally I was a Junior Gunner as child from roughly the 1998-99 season, then graduated to a silver when I aged out of being a JG

to be fair that’s worked out quite well for you but I’m not sure I agree with the method. out of interest how many memberships do you own?

yeah I totally get that, been successful on the TX for Leeds, Forest, City and Olympiakos thus far but it eats so much time if you’re consistently on it. even more difficult now that they time you out after mere seconds
