"Your tickets are secure, are you f**king sure"
Despite Manchester United’s assurances that digital NFC tickets are fully secure, a major flaw in the @SeatGeek ticketing platform leaves supporters highly vulnerable to unauthorised access. By knowing a fan's Supporter ID and just their surname or postcode, anyone can unauthorisedly view, download, and use their tickets without the owners knowledge.
This has already resulted in legitimate ticket holders being turned away at both home and away matches because their tickets had already been scanned.
The issue was deliberately kept quiet during the season to minimise disruption, but with the Premier League aiming for fully digital tickets next season, it must be prioritised over the summer. The risk is exacerbated by a club culture where fans have widely shared their Supporter IDs for ticket-forwarding purposes, and instances where Manchester United emails have inadvertently exposed this information. The author urges @SeatGeek and the club to implement a secure, user-led authorizlsation process rather than relying on flawed off-the-shelf solutions.

Please repost, this is important for all clubs now digital ticket is the future, not just #MUFC
@AndyMitten Don’t be fooled by this Trojan horse!! Fans in this section will be accused of not collecting their ticket, not being in the ground, not spending money on the concourse or not being the person their illegally searched phone by stewards say they are an promptly banned by the club
@gonzlez_marcelo@torres96_joel@MUnitedEs These are the “second class fans” the ones that go once in a lifetime and just sit their with their bags bulging of megastore merchandise that don’t look at you funny when you are trying to chant songs that have been sung for over 50 years to encourage the team
@gonzlez_marcelo@torres96_joel@MUnitedEs Not to sit there and expect to be entertained and moan when the team does not play well. We have a long and famous history of making old Trafford and intimidating place and were a global attraction long before international travel was so readily available
@gonzlez_marcelo@torres96_joel@MUnitedEs Fans are people that care about the club top to bottom. How the team play how the club is run, investment in infrastructure, how we handle the press everything. More importantly when you pay your money to enter the stadium you do everything you can to support the team to win
@FrankyMacAnthon@UTD_Louie@MarcusKnowsBall Any proper red could give a flying fuck what any other fans think. “Protect the image of the club” what utter bollocks!! We (at least used to) have standards and hold ourselves higher than others. Imagine getting upset because this clown is shown up for being exactly that
