Halifax away Tickets

Quoted from Poojah

Seriously, what’s the point of scheduling these ‘local’ festive double headers (which are presumably designed to maximise attendances) if you’re then going to prevent thousands who want to attend from doing so as a direct result? The kick-off has already been moved to 12:30 ffs.

It’s totally counter-intuitive and discriminative of regular, match going fans. If pockets of individuals intend to travel with the intent of causing disorder then deal with them and ban them accordingly - don’t assume I want to neck 16 pints and start windmilling anyone with a Yorkshire accent just because I support Grimsby Town.

One of the reasons I’ve always bought a season ticket, even when things have been really shít, is access to away tickets. 1,200 means that about 60% of season ticket holders will miss out on our closest away game of the season, and our only one within 90 miles. And that’s before we consider anyone else who might legitimately want to go.

This is a grossly unfair, highly prejudiced and ultimately nonsensical decision. Leeds and Manchester United have also have their fair share of banning orders and arrests under their belts. Will West Yorkshire police be restricting United to 1,200 tickets when they play there in February, I wonder? I’d like to see them try.

Honestly, I’ve had enough of this now. I don’t see this routinely happening to other clubs in other divisions, and whilst I obviously haven’t been privy to the conversation between the club and the police, I’d really like to see our representatives do more to challenge this and at the very least seek a detailed explanation and rationale (so we can all see for ourselves what a fair and reasonable decision it is after all).

Sick to the fùcking back teeth of shít like this. Absolute shysters.

Would advise anyone looking to buy home tickets online to do so under a new email address, or definitely one you haven’t used with GTFC before.

Our ticket office share previous sales history with opposition clubs, so you’ll probably get your order cancelled like loads did for Scunny.

Has our club got any right to share personal details with 3rd parties ?

Quoted from grimps

Our SLO has said on Twitter that she had no involvement yet we’d already agreed to rearrange the game for another date and another time so we must have been involved somewhere , like I said in another post we should tell them it’s all or nothing now , either give us the full allocation or we don’t want any tickets.
If the police and the club can’t hold a crowd  that would still be under half the capacity they shouldn’t be in their jobs

Quoted from BeijingMariner

Two of my grown up kids who I havent seen since 2019 might be able to get to that game, they were both born in Halifax but are massive Town fans. We were all going as the first partial family event since covid started and now WYCP and Halifax Town have put paid to that. Even as a season ticket holder I won't be able to get tickets simply because of this pathetic stance. I am actually angry. 14000 capacity, 3334 at the last game. What is happening to this country? F*ckin stupid beyond belief.

Quoted from ska face

I asked the question when Scunny took my tickets back
& refunded my order. Can’t remember the response but think there’s something in the Ts & Cs about data sharing, think it also covers them sharing info with the police.

Probably someone with some knowledge on data protection should have a look into it.
