Received a letter today from Celtic saying that they are writing to all supporters regarding the sharing of season tickets between family and friends. Basically they are wanting a crackdown on people giving others their season card to go to the game.
Bit harsh considering if someone can't make it to a game, then they give that game to a family member/friend who in turn will be putting a bum on a seat and possibly buying drinks/merchandise at the game.
Isn’t it more to do with adults using child cards? Or are you talking about standing section?
Letter reads as follows: ------------------------- Dear Supporter Season Tickets 2017/2018 We are writing to all our season ticket holders to clarify an issue relative to the use of Season Tickets at Celtic Park. This relates to the use of a Season Ticket by someone other than the named Season Ticket Holder and, whilst this may not be applicable to you directly, we hope that by clarifying the Club policy on this matter it may prevent any confusion or issues arising in future. Season Tickets for Celtic Park are for use of the named Season Ticket Holder only and the use by any third parties, including family and friends is not permitted. Further information can be found in our 2017/2018 Season Ticket Terms and Conditions, a copy of which can be found at www.celticfc.net/tickets This policy is in place to ensure supporter safety and security and ensures the Club is compliant with SPFL regulations. In line with the above policy, the Celtic Ticket Office is not obliged to provide information about the named Season Ticket Holder to any third party or facilitate access to the Stadium, for any individual who is not the named Season Ticket Holder. The Celtic Ticket Office will of course always endeavour to assist named Season Ticket Holders, however in all cases relating to use of Season Tickets photo ID is required. I would like to thank you for your co-operation in this matter, Yours sincerely, Angela Forbes Ticket Office Manager ------------------------- Could possibly be about Adults using kids tickets. That could only be the logical reason to send out such a thing. Photo ID? Good luck with that. Drivers license, passport- any other requirements? Couple of bills perhaps to prove were you live. Tough luck for kids that don't have either. Hopefully they'll have a signed letter from their parents, or passport pics signed by a GP, priest etc. You can never be safe enough.
I guess this is to more do with people who are banned etc. coming back in. Who knows by whom this was instigated.

There will be another reason behind it to justify writing the letter. Sounds like back covering somewhere along the line.
Like the ts and cs debacle earlier (no loud clapping etc.) there will be no change to what happens in reality.

Nonsense that is exactly what you sign up to when you buy a season book though. The fact it is ignored by supporters doesn't make it right. Celtic would be daft to take this further though, and it sounds as if they are generalising to target soemthing more specific, like use of Child tickets by Adults.

I'm sure in England (may be Man Utd) have a system where if somebody can't make the game they can add their ticket online and somebody can make use of it.

That could only be the logical reason to send out such a thing. I'd say it's people who are not the ST holder either coming to the TO looking for reprints as they lost/misplaced/forgot the ST they'd be given or folk arriving at the the wrong turnstyle and getting refused and ending up in the TO trying to sort the problem (and TO realising they're not dealing with the ST holder)
I know there was still a huge queue at the TO when the Anderlecht match kicked off and I'd guess a lot was to do with this sort of stuff and the TO are probably trying to limit this stuff going forward.
If the people you give your ST to know where they're going then I don't think you'll have any problems swapping them about in the future.

Aye, presume it's about concession tickets being transferred, particularly with the upcoming Huns game. And if they're going to mention that, might as well do it as part of a reminder on the non-transferability of all STs.

Photo ID required sounds like it's maybe people using a kids ticket.
Anyway, I'd guess not everyone has a passport or a photo driving licence. What would they do in that case?
And what about the people who share a season ticket for affordability reasons and have been doing it with no issue for years, or supporters clubs from various places, say England and Ireland, who buy a certain amount of season books for members to make use of a couple of times a season each?

If an adult is caught using a child ticket, the ticket is confiscated and passed to the ticket office, so I don't see how it can be re that as ID won't matter? Obviously a child can't go in to then deal with it... so they need to deal with an adult anyway - so id isn't going to match.
Unless I am totally misreading letter. Tbf my brain isn't at full pelt this morning. Is it ever?

Must be to do with people going into the standing section.
Stewards have been checking cards more regularly than ever and also coming into rows to check bodies per seat/rail etc

Got the letter this morning and it does, reading between the lines, look like it is targetting something else other than giving your mate your season ticket when you cant make a game. Last night in 404 there were quite a few people looking at the seat details on the back of a season ticket to find the seat rather than just head straight to the seat.
My brother and I sit together and if either of us cant make a game we'll give our season ticket to the other one so one of our mates can take in a game. We dont even ask for any money cos that's the kind of generous pumpkins we are.
On the rare occasion my old dad decides he wants to take in a game we'll buy a ticket as close as possible to us but give my dad one of the season tickets so he is sitting beside one of us.

There’s been trouble at both Bayern and Anderlecht in the ticket office with peoples tickets not working who are using others season books and the ticket office not being able to do anything because they can’t deal with anyone other than the sth. The police were bought down to deal with it at Bayern so I’d guess it was something to do with that

And fwiw I have a season book, I can’t get to every game because of work and travelling, I’ll always let someonebody from the bus use my book as it ensures the book doesn’t go to waste and another seat filled for the bus. I understand the risk if the person who uses it is a zoomer

Absolute kack by Celtic. I purchased a season ticket that rotates around my brothers when I'm e.g. I was at site on Wednesday and couldn't attend the Hamilton game so gave the card to my bro. If they're really gonna crack down the you should have the option on your season ticket profile to list individuals you share the card with.

Wife informs me that 3 letters have arrived for myself and two sons. I suspect as someone mentioned earlier there is going to be a crackdown on adults using child or concessions for that matter, especially with the sevco game coming up. Also I’d imagine there has been a problem identified with someone during a query at the ticket office. It’s a catch all letter so if you’re up to nae good do be moaning like feck when you get caught.
Edit. I noticed someone tweeting JPT yesterday about upgrading his daughters ticket for an adult to use at last nights match. The ticket office replied along the lines “yes and there is a £20 fee”

What's actually happening - is it a film, presentation, discussion?
It's a film/documentary about the legislation and roles certain people have played throughout its tenure. This will be followed by Q&A and discussion with a couple of the most prominent figures behind FAC. A limited amount of tickets will be available on the door tonight now.
