Will they have everyone's from before 2006? When you might have paid yourself, or had someone else pay for you, who may or may not be related to you and may or may not still be alive. And when the payment might have been by cheque, or by a card or bank account that's long since expired? That's all on top of the problems we've seen already where the names on tickets have changed and the like. I expect that the club moved to ticketmaster and got rid entirely of their own ticketing operation and associated data, and even if it is still there piecing it back together might be a lot easier said than done. Unless there's clear and consistently accessible records it's fairer not to use them at all.
Unde the new data protection laws coming in they HAVE to know what records they have for people and the fines for getting it wrong can be huge. Given that, I’m assuming it can’t be as big a mess as is often suggested.
