This will be uploaded to your record and a new season ticket photo card will be issued in time for the start of the 24/25 season.Valid photo ID, along with your recent colour photo can be submitted via [email protected] or alternatively can be handed in to the tickets office (subject to opening hours), or sent via post. Please ensure you list both name and Fan ID when submitting your details.
E mail sent to me after renewing.
We had photos years ago on ST's so it is not new..
But they were not £15Quote:

You have to submit the info as detailed in my post.
Please do not shoot the messenger
Or is you complaint the £15 charge - if so I AGREE!
There is no reason for it.
They do it because they are control freaks and most likely want to tap into the ticket sharing game, so instead of you lending a season ticket to a mate for a match ticket price, or a tenner, or a pint, or because you are just nice, they can probably try and get you to sell it back to the club.
Just unnecessary, like many things like this. Getting food in the ground is now far slower and far more expensive than it used to be. Hardly progress.
I know it's slower because for years I'd get a pint at half time. I very very rarely do now
They would have to 'inspect' every ST to identify ticket sharing. It's complete b******s. I'm frisked every home game but never at an away ground. As you say, control freaks..Quote:

I'm not sure if that reasoning is for the cost, the photo or both but I am glad they didn't say it was for the environment as I could have used my previous one happily.
I've got my son one for this season, he and my dad actually won't have photo id, i'm assuming for them just the photo is acceptable.
Personally I have as little on my phone as possible. Happy to carry on with the physical ST.Quote:
