The football club HJK changes the Veikkausliiga season tickets and individual tickets to personal ones, which means that the holder’s name will be added to them.
Identity can be checked at the gate, and entry will be denied if the name does not match the ticket.
The reason behind the reform is to improve the security of match events and identify disruptive behavior, says HJK ticket sales customer manager Vertti Karjalainen.
“There they obviously want the rest of the spectators out of the stands as well.”
“I am returning the Klubien Klubi kauser.”
“I bought an extra jumper myself, so that sometimes I can take my son and sometimes friends to the games. I will definitely not buy another one in the future. Incomprehensible fooling around.”
“Great decision, I support it.”
The above comments can be found on Facebook. There are several similar ones out there and, for example, even more on the Futisforum discussion board.
It’s about the first reactions to HJK’s season ticket and individual ticket reform, according to which every HJK Veikkausliiga season ticket and individual ticket will be personal next season, that is, they must be named for a single person.
You must arrive at HJK matches with an ID card with a photo, as the spectator’s identity can be checked upon entry. If you cannot prove your identity or the name on the ticket does not match the ID, you may be denied entry.
Reform applies to all season tickets and tickets of HJK’s Veikkausliiga team, also company tickets and season tickets and Klubien klubi season tickets, which are valid for three years and whose validity began in the already ended season.
There will be a change in the contract terms for Klubien klubi season tickets and other previously redeemed season tickets. If the new conditions are not accepted, the season ticket contract can be terminated and a refund of the unused value can be requested.
“As a result of the change, there have been a few cancellations of season tickets”, reports HJK’s ticket sales customer manager Vertti Karjalainen.
Reformation according to HJK, the background is to improve the security of match events. HJK promised to take measures regarding the issue at a press conference held on November 11, where it was announced that Klubipäädy would be closed for the first five Veikkausliiga home matches next spring.
“Personal tickets and season tickets are an example of a security measure for identifying and monitoring disruptive behavior,” Karjalainen informs.
“HJK needs to know who attends its matches. In the current situation, most of the troublemakers use a season ticket or a ticket named for someone else.”
HJK announced about the season ticket and ticket reform last Thursday, i.e. the day before the sale of new season tickets began.
“Not all open questions have answers yet,” Karjalainen states.
With this, Karjalainen refers, among other things, to the fact that, for example, you can still borrow HJK season tickets from libraries, and company season tickets will continue to be used.
“We are trying to create a solution with which season ticket holders can pass on their season tickets, but the technical implementation is not ready yet.”
Another Veikkausliiga team from Helsinki, Gnistan, is also renewing its season tickets and giving season ticket holders the opportunity to resell their seats if they cannot make it to the game.
