Actually that's not a bad idea. I often watch bbc breakfast and them 'I've nothing better to with my life than complain about the contents of fizzy pop' lot are always on it

Your NOT going on at all
Your post is the very reason why i will NOT step foot in the stadium till concessions are brought back.....even though my pass is cheaper..
To those supporters that are planning on just doing the away games, have any of you considered whether opposing clubs will play the Allam's at their own game and remove any concessions for away supporters? After all I can't see the opposition supporters being overly happy to to pay full price for pensioners and children, and I'm pretty certain that they'll let their feelings known to their club!
Sorry Filey.
Clubs have to charge away fans the same as home fans (up to a £30 limit in the Premier League), so they can't remove concessions just for us. The Football League and Premier League have both been asked for their opinion on the removal of concessions, but haven't responded yet.
There would not be much time to do this, but the Supporters Trust could write to all league clubs with a suggested motion for the upcoming League AGM for a rule change requiring all clubs to offer senior and child concessions of a minimum 20%. The letter would encourage clubs to make sure it appears on the meeting agenda.
Once the letters are in the post, they should find volunteers from those most affected and get in touch with Sky Sports and ITV/BBC National news teams to highlight the letter and the examples. This way the Football League and other clubs will realise the issue needs addressing urgently.It's not a bad idea, I'll suggest it to the Trust.
They will also need to have ready answers to counter club spin of reductions by moving seats.
The only slight drawback is they'd have to wait to see what league we're in before knowing which clubs to write to, little point in getting the wrong league to change the rules and the Premier League clubs are likely to ignore it if we're not a Premier League club.
May be write to both. If for example the PL took this on board because they thought they could easily afford it and it is a positive thing.
Also, it would pressurise the Football League more because they should have concerns about it being cheaper to take kids to a PL match.
I'm guessing that pay on the day will be given a swipe card, which they can then get loaded up on a match by match basis, which would do away with a paper ticket?
That being the case, beyond remembering when you booked it, which I wouldn't do, how would you know which your seat is, and which turnstiles to use, and how would a steward know you're in the right seat if there was a dispute?

As I get tickets on a match by match basis anyway, this has been something I have been wondering about. In fact, how will anyone be able to tell members with swipe cards are in the right seat - isn't this one of the fundamental weaknesses with this zoning business - people will just move to where they want to sit?
For the match by match fans like me, as far as I can tell, I can sign up to be a one stripe member and get the card as you have described. I also got the impression you could remain a non-member and still get paper tickets online or from the machines at the stadium on the day. Surely those options won't disappear? (said in a not very convinced voice)
From what I can gather, you swipe in at the turnstile with the pre-loaded card, but your seat details are on a separate piece of paper, sort of like when you book on line at an airport.
I think group bookings all get their individual cards loaded, but the one making the booking gets the bit of paper with the seat details on.
I don't think it'll affect me, as I can't see me bothering at all.
It seems madness. What happens if somebody turns up with only their card? They get in but will somebody check where they are sitting? If you are getting on a plane you would all turn up together but at a match you might go with other people and sit with the group inside.
