Ticketing rules to show clearly

  • No universal ballot is assumed for every match; high-demand fixtures can use priority windows or special rules.
  • Use the ticket delivery and ID/payment rules shown by the club for the specific fixture.
  • Avoid informal resale and fixture-day social posts; use official ticketing and current away-club guidance.
  • Use official resale, exchange or customer-service routes where the club provides them.
