Re-direct your post via Post Office - not sure if you can do it at short notice online? I haven't done it for years

Or go and talk nicely to whoever lives there now??

I just bought a £9 ticket with a member that i had 2 years ago. From the email that they sent me I've just realize that it still got my old address. I can't even change my address on line. Any idea what can i do? My new address is still in the Liverpool area

Turn up on the day with proof of identity and ask for duplicates, claiming they never arrived, you have lost them, dog ate them ........whatever!

how can this be proved unless they start checking everybody when they go in the ground, alot of people saying its being abused, but not many actual testimonies of people actually seeing it. theres a ticket exchange on here, people can trade tickets to anybody. i feel that so many people are complaing its being abused people are thinking its a much bigger problem than it is. me and my mates have sat in u1 every game, the least amount of tickets we've been able to get is 4. just because the person next to me doesnt speak english doesn't mean they've not got an l post code. anyway, i really hope they dont scrap teh scheme because going this season, always being sat next to me mates has been great

It does fucking wind me up though. I live closer to Anfield than Dingle, Aigburth, Sefton Park, Knotty Ash, Hutton, Kirkby... I could go on. My postcode used to be an L, but the post office decided to switch our mail sorting to Chester, and LFC think this is a valid reason to exclude us from this sale even though we pay the same membership as the L postcodes. If you want local support, call it a 10 mile radius of the stadium and be done. It is just stupid to let Ormskirk in and rule Birkenhead out.

It'd be a joke if they stopped this next season. Liverpools a multicultural city how do we really know if the person sitting next to us doesn't live in Liverpool!?

There's plenty of people scamming the system in other parts of the ground. It's only a few hundred tickets and the majority from when I've been in there are defo from Liverpool...what's the big deal!

I kind of agree but a line has to be drawn somewhere I suppose. The 0151 phone number might be a better criteria, but it probably just increases the number of people eligible which is another problem.

Of course the line has to be drawn somewhere, but it is clearly in the wrong place when supporters who live a couple of miles from the stadium and can even see it from their house are being ruled out. The only even handed way of doing it is to draw a big circle around the stadium on a map.

Will be a shame for locals especially when tickets I believe are priced at a meager £9 each; though Bundesliga clubs price all tickets at £15-£20 each.

of course people might change their address to their mates in liverpool, somebody who lives in southampton could just register their card at a mates or a parents in liverpool, theres ways around it, but if they're a fan im not really arsed. we'd all do the same. the club do something decent and people just moan about the negatives when iMO they should be applauded because the quality of the seat compared to the vale is on a different level (for the £9 tickets)

andy07 · « **Reply #414 on:** November 18, 2016, 01:20:48 am »

They could make all £9 tickets collection on the day with proof of ID and recent proof of address. There are only 500 up for grabs so as long as they had a dedicated window open from a couple of hours before kick off there wouldn't be a problem. Gives less time for the touts to move their tickets on.

Or, window sales, and you need ID and proof of address.

mattyyt · « **Reply #418 on:** November 18, 2016, 09:52:03 am »

It'll be a real shame if they scrap this scheme. £9 tickets are the only way some of us can afford to get in.

Seems a bit lazy just to stop selling the tickets rather than deal with the problem. Just have a separate turnstile for people who bought these tickets, and have one or two people checking ID before they let you in. Your name is written on the paper ticket so it's not like they need any fancy tech for it.

It was me who said it on the other thread but I'm just going by what Graham Smith was posting on RAOTL.

All I know about it is what he posted. In a nutshell, too many tickets are not staying in local hands (either from touting or blag addresses). Things are going to be trialled until the end of the season (e.g. collection from ticket office for Leeds match) but if it doesn't improve by the end of the season the £9 tickets are most likely to be sold via local schools and colleges.

It was a good point that somebody raised above about how they know they're being touted. The only example Graham Smith gave was that some tickets had been bought from Bank of Ireland accounts. Don't know any more than that.

AA3JM21 · « **Reply #426 on:** November 18, 2016, 02:27:41 pm »

Not sure what else they could do apart from collection from the ticket office (like they've done for Leeds)

They could let us know why they're not arsed about the other 52,500 tickets being touted, passed on or not being registered at the correct address.

True, I meant like how could they ensure that only locals are buying the local tickets - probably the only way to do so is making sure people collect from the TO with name & address ID
