On Wednesday I was contacted by GTFC to tell me that my lost season ticket had been found in the Upper Findus - the only thing wrong was that I hadn't lost it. My name, season ticket no and seat no. were identical  in other words it had been cloned. The young lady from GTFC couldn't believe it and was going to investigate. I later sent an Email to GTFC asking if I should not say anything but have had no reply.  It would seem a coincidence that the only one forged was then lost - there must be loads of forged tickets out there ( 50 means a loss to the club of £1000 every home game ) I have noticed this season that quite a few people have been sat in other peoples seats and have moved without saying a word when the seat holder arrives.  My season ticket was printed in the office in front of me so how were these forgeries printed ?  Mhmmm ?                 I suspect arrests are imminent !!!

Did anyone check JF’s 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Interesting, not saying that you did yourself but I do remember at least a few people sharing pics of their shiny new season pass on social media, including the side with all the personal details on. Silly people...

In all innocence, I photographed my own season ticket and asked the turnstile operator if they could try and scan it, it worked.

My reasoning was in case I ever forgot to take it to the game with me but at the same time, I did think it could easily be used by unscrupulous individuals.

Having read the above, I suspect some people have taken a photo of the tickets on FB and produced it at the turnstile to gain entry.

QR codes that are used on the ticketing system are easily copied and then used to gain entry.

The solution to stop it is to reissue the season tickets but without any personal details on them. On entry the turnstile operator could then ask for your name or seat number and check it on his screen when they have scanned it. That way the QR code on it's own wouldn't be enough to gain entry.

Isn't this pretty much what happened at the Healing festival this year where people were giving there QR codes to friends to get in..

You have to be soo careful what you share online..

The QR code normally is used once, the system remembers it has been scanned and will not let anybody else in. Otherwise they would sell one ticket and copy it thousand of times for everyone to use.

It’s gotta be difficult to find somewhere to sit with the current number of sales
