    Disabled supporters can only get tickets if they can show they're in receipt of benefit.

    If they're say working full time and not getting/applying for any benefit Ticketmaster wont sell them a ticket for a seat in the area for disabled supporters.

    So disabled supporters not on benefit can't go to Wembley.

    Doesn't that break the law?

    I haven't got a clue how the law works but surely you have to be able to prove you're disabled in order to be allowed to buy essentially half price tickets?

    Not read either, but I'm guessing you just have to prove you're disabled. Whatever that means.

    Yes but being in receipt of a particular benefit whilst being an indicator of disability is not the only indicator. Unless they include some sort of codecil regarding how they define disability.

    You seem extremely determined to get offended on behalf of our disabled supporters.

    The disabled used to register and they got a green card. It became obsolete when the DDA came in though.
