Yeah you could defo change the name if you had the id and proof provided you had 13 league games on the card. The reason my membership was cancelled is because my season ticket is in the same name now my mate used the membership was his card in all but name.

The women i spoke to at the ticket office was sound it sounds like the manager who came back and made final decision to cancel the membership. I did say to them how is it fair that only people with 13+ league games could do the update but the bosses at the club dont seem to care.

My mate has basically owned that card since we were in the europa league playing bum
Teams at a half empty anfield and now the club have binned him off.  Obviously i have technically broken the terms and conditions of the membership but at the time when he started using it  half the ground were using a card im a different name and the club werent arsed its went on for years so we never thought the card would get cancelled.

My point to the club was that you cant cancel my mates membership due to breaking terms and conditions but then let any member with over 13 games change theirs it makes no sense. If my mate was going the league games on it he could have changed name no problem but now all of a sudden the club want to enforce a rule they never usually do.

I wouldnt be shocked if they done a members fan update in a year or two but thats no good on my case because of the order they completed the update my mates lost out.

I suppose the clubs argument is that every member at some point would have had the 1 off chance to transfer names

13+ league had theirs already, rest will come (eventually) - COVID put a spanner in their plans but they will get round to it

My advice for people in that situation going forward would be to wait it out until the 1 off opportunity is given, as I know someone in the exact same position who also lost their membership card last week

Similar situation with me whereby my son has been using my mate's membership for many years and has the aways (league and cups) but the ticket office wouldn't allow a name transfer (come from management). I bought this up in the STH fan update thread couple months back. But they haven't mentioned anything about membership being cancelled, just got told they don't have anything to go on for fan update on those who were not part of 13 home games and told me to hold tight and then contact them again once they have announced fan update for the remaining memberships.

Think mine got cancelled because my dad and me have shared a season ticket for years and hes transferred it into my name because i go the most games each year. The membership was in my name and now the season ticket is but your not allowed to have a membership and a season ticket at the same time apparently

Aways will be interesting; I had 14 away credits from 18/19 ... but I finished on 12 when the season ended (but was due for 16 at the end of the full season).

So for aways it's probably in most peoples interests for it to go on 18/19 based on my situation anyway, because there isn't a bulk sale.

To be honest, I am just desperate to get back to a match, especially an away game.

The credits holiday next year makes total sense tbf. Glad I don't bother with the home leagues, going to be a grim decision made by the club

Shocking they won't let STH also be a member.

I mean STH should be able to buy as many tickets as they like. They are the chosen ones

Is anyone going to bother getting the membership again for this season? Or take a break? I imagine with out it counting for credits and the team doing badly might be good for a few general sales? Or reckon this won’t be the case?

I remember having trouble getting tickets when Hodgson was in charge. I don't think the team doing badly matters too much, there are still thousands wanting tickets for games.

I'll be getting a membership for next season. Not arsed about taking a break or wanting credits, I just want to go to a game.

Most will end up buying a membership then in the bulk sales buying the big games and binning the cat B and C games off when the credit isn't being counted

I'm not going to be buying every game as I'm saving for a house, perfect timing having a credit break

So yeah tickets will be a lot easier to get in general IMO

I don't think they have to be a member to be on your F&F so don't see how they could do that as it couldn't work for all transfers.

If you did take a break and not buy a membership for next season, with there being no credits, would you still keep your credits from 18/19, if you bought a membership for 22/23 season?

I am a 13+ member, but I am not sure i can afford the membership and then all home games next season, as lost my job due to covid. But with all this uncertainty regarding what criteria will be used for tickets in future sales, i am a little worried they'll use it as an excuse to make changes.

Yeah, no credits accrue in this coming season, and the following one as far as I understand will use 18/19

without it counting for credits yeah I expect plenty of games to be accessible enough, especially midweek and early European games (outside UCL) of course, if the ground is allowed fully capacity too it will help

Absolutely, if you can't support them when they lose, don't bother when they are winning and all that.

Members shouldn't be allowed to transfer tickets either, especially not to people who aren't members. That's just encouraging credit hunting and touting. It's one thing ST's being allowed to do it, shouldn't be extended to members as well.

Members have just become another season ticket though.  If you’ve got lots of credits you can buy tickets, if you haven’t, you can’t.

I’m lucky to get a couple a season, when I’d ideally want to go to 10+ home league games a season.

So don't make it easier for people to buy tickets for matches they aren't going to go to. Let members sell the tickets back to the club if they can't go so that they can be sold to other members, don't let them transfer the ticket to anyone with a mobile phone.

What about in circumstances where you have bought a ticket 4 months in advance of a game not knowing exactly when it's going to be played and can't go when it's eventually confirmed for a specific date?

Then it should be returned to the club or transferred to a friend. Losing the credit in the process.
The club could help by not holding sales until after kick offs are confirmed of course.

Returned to the club would be the best option, or if not then transferred to another member.

These bulk sales are a nonsense, just encourage people to buy tickets for games to keep their credits up whether they can go or not.

Most clubs do sales in smaller chunks, 3-5 games at a time

But that'd be a pain in the arse for everyone who does go every game, or near enough

Yeah, I agree on this, a late emergency can always occur. I know there are always people that will take the piss but that's the same with STs as well. They can offer out their ST to friends without the risk of losing it. Shouldn't they be using it or losing it as well?

I am surprised the new F&F thing won't have to be to other members though (for members or STs).

Confirmed theirs no limit on times you can transfer a ticket in the 2021/22 season for both ST holders and Members. Also confirmed they don't have to be members or anything like that

Said they'll review it season after , but basically they need to know who's in each seat. Spurs have been doing the same thing since they introduced the phone system. 
No mention of other comps.
