I think it's deliberately misleading, as far as I remember it was 14% of kids passes they claimed were being used by adults, which is more like a couple of hundred.

I'd be surprised if it was anywhere near that number, never mind how they could calculate it with any degree of accuracy.
I've seen people claim they scanned the crowd and compared it to ticket sales, which if they're claiming they did the full crowd is firstly bullshit, but also flawed, as they'd have found out if they'd taken the next logical step, and asked the people identified in a random sample..

Good job you don't have to be in the upper levels at Real Mafrid, Barcelona, Valencia, , Milan, Dortmund, Dcalke and numerous other places.
It is a great view from Upper West. Just a pity so few are supporters as opposed to spectators up there.
Great - they've winkled out a few hundred fiddlers.
Unfortunately, they've also priced out a few thousand pass holders.
Utter ****ing madness.

Why's he happy with renewals being "roughly in line with last year" when he then admits many walked away last season because of the price hike. He's basically admitted the scheme hasn't been as well received as they hoped and have failed to boost attendances like the club wanted - and ultimately, without promotion, they're going to be slashed.
It's bollocks anyway, they're a third down on the same point a year ago.
The costs of extra ticket / card inspectors randomly swooping on turnstiles would be worth the club paying as the extra revenue from the deterrent to fraudsters would mean they should pay for themselves many times over.
They don't even need extra staff. The stadium has state of the art CCTV. A few well publicised random scans and checks by nearby stewards would have covered it. Some claim they did the scan anyway, so why not the next step?
Chances are, anyone doing it wouldn't buy a full price ticket anyway, so it's perhaps not exactly a loss, but a child pass gained in some circumstances.
If he moves them upstairs he can charge them all one price.
Downstairs he will have to charge the equivalent zone dependant price as home fans.
Away fans could have 3 different ticket price bands for their current corner.
Unless he makes the lowest match day ticket £30.

I queried that with the league over the north east corner, as it covers three price zones now. They had to do a lot of checking, but ultimately accepted the clubs position. I can't see it would be different for calling them zones.
Exactly.
If word is out there that stewards randomly check tickets, people will stop buying a concession one when they're an adult. It wouldn't be worth the risk of having it confiscated.
People will always take advantage if they can.
If you had a night out around town and was given an extra £20 in on pub how many would hand it back
I've twice found wallets and handed them in without taking a single thing from it. Maybe it's just me being a good egg
Oh defo youd give a wallet back but a tenner on the floor most people would keep.I've twice found wallets and handed them in without taking a single thing from it. Maybe it's just me being a good egg
The issue got worse when turnstile and stewards were told not to check or stop people due to the large numbers of people waiting to get in.
They were also told to overide the large number of problems with the print at home tickets
They then sacked the turnstile staff with 1 days notice and now it's is almost imposible for stewards to do safety checks along with entry checks
They have made there own issues with penny pinching and lost far more in the process

Why was there staff in the turnstiles for the U 21s when it was free to get in?!
