TAYL-F39 Response Historic AI-assessed

Clubs maintain computer records of ticket purchasers' names and addresses

Recommendation

Clubs should consider maintaining a record on computer of ticket sales before the day of the match, for season tickets and tickets for all-ticket matches for seated areas, containing the names and addresses of those purchasing tickets.

Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
According to the available evidence, while clubs routinely maintain records of ticket sales for security, marketing, and operational purposes, and are subject to the Data Protection Act 2018, a universal mandate for all clubs to record names and addresses for *all* pre-match sales for *all-ticket matches for seated areas* is not explicitly detailed in public legislation or the SGSA Green Guide as a blanket requirement. Clubs generally implement such measures based on risk assessment and specific match designations. According to the available evidence, no further specific public evidence has been identified since the inquiry.
