I think that may well be the case..
If you live away from Grimsby, why would you order from GTFC and have to pay postage  (and possibly take a trip to the sorting office to sign for and pick up the tickets) when you could pay face value and collect on the day from the home club?



exactly, god forbid the clubs make it easy for supporters to watch the team

Does Stevenage station have ticket barriers though? If it does I doubt it will accept a Kings Cross ticket to get out and you could end up getting fined. If it has no barriers then you should be fine.

don't think it does and should be fine as you have actually paid for the journey you made , when went to England Scotland last year got tickets to and from York as it was cheaper than getting them from Donny and had no problems at all

Les is right, it's an offence to break your journey short with the advance tickets.

A friend of mine fell foul of this last year. They had tickets to Southampton but alighted at the stop before. They were stopped as the ticket barriers would not let them out and they were charged TWICE the cost of a standard ticket to the station they alighted at.

I have a similar situation when I go up to Scotland. Wierdly the cost of a ticket to the end of the line is half the price of a ticket to the stop I get off at which is 2 stops before the end of the line. However, as the stop I get off at is an unmanned station, I just buy a ticket to the end of the line and alight at the station I want to get off at.

Stevenage station does have barriers and usually a couple of "boarder guards" manning them, they will and often involve BTP with any issues surrounding ticketing.

I seem to recall coming back from Cambridge and changing at Stevenage, I'm sure there were BTP and Railway asset protection working together.

Yup, on and off trains especially at peak times.
