Well after what was such an amazing day, I still feel really disappointed that it took about half an hour after kick off to get into the ground, and hence missing the first 2 goals. This also resulted in my old man and 2 of his mates missing the first 2 goals due to complaining to the stewards. This was because the bloke going into the ground infront of me was having problems scanning his ticket (and it seemed he wasn't the only one). So he kindly asked if I'd try mine, which I did allowing the gate to open. As it was my ticket I thought well I best follow him in. Without an explaination a steward came straight for me, took my ticket off me and threw me out in a matter of seconds. So after trying everything at the information centre and ticket office they said they would print me a new ticket to get in because of the ridiculous stewarding. But due to the steward not reporting the 'incident', they couldn't print me a new ticket incase I was 'sneaking someone else in'. Luckily, some other bloke was complaining and due to his old man losing his ticket, he offered me his ticket. So I'd like to say how grateful I am to this bloke otherwise I probably would of had to stand outside waiting for my old man and brother. Thanks so much for allowing me to get in, and I hope you managed to see the game yourself. A shitty complaint to the FA will be sent later.

no offence mate but they arent going to let two people in on the same ticket. once your ticket has been scanned thats it. was the person infront trying to scan a cancelled ticket?
next time keep hold of your ticket

That must be one of the weirdest stories I've ever heard. Did you REALLY allow a stranger to use your ticket . . . . REALLY?  |

Let me get this straight .......... you let someone else in on your ticket and then complain that you couldn't get in ?
And then you go and give some other guy a sob story and use his ticket to get in ?
Seriously......wake up.....

Why didn't you just try to scan his ticket so he could get in? I don't really see what the struggle was, it was just scanning a barcode!

So you let someone in on your ticket and it's the FA's fault?

Your going complain because you let someone else in with your ticket, because his would not scan? did you not think of it been a fake? or been reported missing from someone who sold it? and got another in replace of it? then that barcode is invalid ;D
This forum makes me ;D some times.

The scanner wasn't great. The guy in front of me spent at least 5 or 6 minutes getting his ticket to scan because the barcode reader was clearly dicky. I couldn't move back and there was no way I was letting him use mine lol!

But the guy in question had given his legitimate ticket to someone with a dodgy ticket ;D

But the guy in question had given his legitimate ticket to someone with a dodgy ticket ;D Yeah I understand. Very naive thing to do in my opinion. I wouldn't say it was bad stewarding taking, but more just ridiculous that they won't hire people to do the job. There aren't that many turnstiles and I don't think its a massively paid job. The scanner I used wasn't great and although I got in with ample time remaining, I thought for a few minutes the guy in front wouldn't. |
