“Save the Tradition: Paper Tickets for Football Away Games”
Rejected
18 signatures
What the petition asks
I urge the Government to mandate football clubs offer paper tickets for away matches. Paper tickets hold deep sentimental value, preserving cherished memories and traditions. Ensuring fans have this choice respects their connection to the game and safeguards an important part of football culture.
I urgently call on the government to act as digital-only ticketing excludes countless loyal fans and destroys a beloved tradition. Paper tickets are sacred keepsakes fans proudly collect, embodying unforgettable away days, shared passion, and lifelong devotion. Removing them risks severing our deep bond with football’s heritage. Preserving paper tickets is vital to honor supporters’ loyalty, ensure inclusivity, and protect the soul of the game.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
