Fairer ticket allocations for football fans going to away games
Sign Now
Each year, football fans pay hundreds of pounds for season tickets, partly for the privilege of applying for away-match tickets.
We believe changes are needed to ensure that they get access to as many away tickets as possible and that the allocation-setting process is much more consistent, fair, open and constructive than it is now.
To achieve this, we ask the Football Licensing Authority (FLA) to make the following changes:
When an authority decides, on safety grounds, it will consider reducing the away teams allocation for a given league or cup match involving professional clubs in England, it must:
- Announce this on the FLA website three months before the fixture, detailing the safety concerns and how the authority proposes to make a decision about the size of the allocation.
- Allow people to have their say by email in a 14-day consultation process so supporters can offer alternatives to cutting allocations.
- Organise a public meeting at which the relevant authority (a local council committee, for example) sets the allocation after considering the consultation submissions and verbal evidence during the meeting.
- Pledge that, if safety concerns are addressed at the fixture, the allocation will be increased the next time the two teams play at that stadium.
- Announce the allocation on the FLA website detailing the reasons for any reduced allocation and detailing, where applicable, who surplus tickets will be sold to.
Sincerely,
