"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.

@TraMufc Away tickets and why the same old faces get them every week despite it being a ‘random’ ballot. I go to home games on a minibus of 20 people. 2 get tickets every other game. I’m currently on a run of 40chubbs in the last 42. They are season ticket holders just like me
