Use the official ticket route first; membership, loyalty, resale and ID rules can change by fixture. General sale is not assumed. Check the live fixture page before promising availability, delivery method or away allocation.

Ticketing rules to show clearly

  • Ballot or priority windows are fixture-dependent.
  • Use the delivery and ID rules shown on the official ticket page for the match.
  • Avoid informal resale. Use official ticketing and current supporter liaison or police guidance for away fixtures.
  • Use official resale or customer-service routes where the club provides them.

QA holds before publishing

  • AI writing pass: page stays answer-first and avoids marketese.
  • Writing-for-the-web pass: short titles, scannable rows, numerals where facts are specific.
  • FanChants voice pass: no AI-isms, no inflated single-best recommendations.
  • Homegrown fact-checker pass: no stadium-recording claim, no absolute clearance claim, no tune/source-work leakage.
  • SIFT/CRAAP pass: stable facts are source-backed; volatile tickets, venues, hotels and routes require live re-check before production.
  • Recommendation QA: food, drink and hotel rows are options with caveats, not rankings.
  • Video QA: fan videos are lead-only until permission/embed/use terms are cleared.
  • Image QA: exact Commons file pages must carry licence, creator and attribution before use.
