Guess it'd depend on if that email is to the ticket forwarder or forwardee, it's the former who's broken the rules.

Very good point. I'd hope more has gone to the original purchaser.
I'd expect that email has gone to the person where the ticket currently sits.

I'm just happy they're doing something about the issue. They deffo read these threads, so hello and thank you

Me too! Really hope this is the start of something 'big'. All this credit hunting / farming / abuse needs to be stopped.

Glad to see the Ticket Office being tough, hopefully will make touts think twice about doing it in the future.

Great to see, just seen on twitter the TO at the ground said 4 accounts routed 680 tickets between those 4 accounts alone  needed to be done

I didn't even know that you were able to purchase a cup ticket, forward it on and then purchase another one etc etc. Complete open goal for the touts

It's the scale of these things once it comes out that always shocks me - proper industrial scale touting that!

And whilst better late than never, presumably the TO have been able to see this for years and never bothered tackling it...

Ticket office should be fun tonight!

I'm worried the turnstiles are gonna be an arse as well if people's tickets have been cancelled and they don't necessarily know.

someone on twitter saying the TO said four cards were used to forward 680 tickets!? lol, surely not?

but in any case, i do feel like there's some possibility some genuine people have been messed over here too (not people paying touts, people with tickets in their name and who are going)

edit: from a browse of twitter there's definitely a few touts impacted, but also a few regular younger people who (naively) probably have arranged some sort of swap for a pair of tickets or whatever

Agreed. Pleased to see the TO taking some steps after what feels like a long time of people "knowing" it's happening. The first step to making it fairer (although like tax changes, no one likes the bit that impacts them)!.
