Unbelievable the amount of regulations in the above link. No mention of printing tickets at home. It says digital only. So now you need a working smartphone to obtain entry to a football match
And as for "designated singing areas" Well f*** my old boots.
I'm reminded of this old Donovan number. Like many good songs it's open to interpretation, but I hear a song about excessive regulation and control. :
I had to have a digital ticket to the Sussex Senior Cup Final last night. Had to load Google Wallet and then worked well. No need for WFI, just have NFC turned on on your phone (had to ask my nephew about that).
They had print off at home option, but there was an extra £2.50 charge for this, even though you were using your own paper, ink and printer!!. You could also pay on the day, but again £2.50 more expensive and £1.50 booking fee for dealing with a human+
Tickets for big events must be collectors items. I would love to have a ticket from the 1966 World Cup final. Something to pass down to the grandchildren.

I never had one of those, but for many years I had a ticket for a pre-World Cup friendly. England v Yugoslavia, May 4th 1966. A bit of a booby prize but has some history to it. The opponent's country no longer exists and Jimmy Greaves scored both goals in a 2-0 win. Rattles and rosettes. Look up in the dark and see red pinpoints of light all around the stadium as people lit cigarettes. My first ever "big" game.

I have collected Old Crawley Programmes & Tickets for over 20 years, also England stuff aswell.
The 1966 World Cup Final Ticket is Worth £150 in vgc, The 1966 World Cup Final Programme is Worth £80 in vgc. The ticket Paul mentioned above england v jugoslavia 1966 is worth £2 only. All 3 are readily available each month on ebay.
Or a Private Executive Box Package for £349 with all the Trimmings if you could pre organise 20 people in the Box. Otherwise £479 EACH if paying for less than 6 people.
Thanks for posting- looks complicated! Anybody have a clue how season ticket holders will be identified by online booking system - ticket master?
There is no way of the system identifying you as a STH that can only be done by phone and in person (because as a club we have no digital data system that identifies STHs). I therefore suggest the club holds back some different category priced sections for STH and they have 2-3 days priority before these are released to general sale. The aforementioned STH seats can ONLY be obtained in person or by phone. These are also only 1 ticket per STH. So effectively every STH will be guaranteed a seat. At the same time general sale to anyone (nothing stopping STH joining this general sale) opens up for everyone with a limit of 4 tickets per transaction. Most ppl I suggest will opt for the online sales and I've not heard of the Wembley site crashing upon demand so it should actually be a lot easier than joining a long queue or struggling to get through on the phone. I also suggest the majority of STH will use the online system because of its convenience.

We could have a Forum users box, only how would we recognise you Mr Invisible? Are you going to Wembley if we get there and make it 58 away games, or will that be 59 because you are going to Milton Keynes?

My Option is the £299 ''Club Wembley'' Package. The Executive Box Package is a bit Uppity! I was going to Pay when I called them Tuesday, but they informed me there will be plenty of Club Wembley Allocation LEFT next Monday.

So many acronyms these days: WFI, NFC. More like WTF and IDK.
I don't keep up with things so well these days and I'm still a few years shy of 70.

.I'll wait and see if we get through obviously but does not look like we will have an easy way to handle it in time frames that we will have
