Why? Did we sell out in other parts of the ground?
I know what you mean but a lot of people are on holiday.

Months ago the club said it would start a sell back scheme but nothing has happened on that front which is a shame.

I emailed JJ about it yesterday and he explained situation. The club are still trying to sort it out.

the problem is many seats have never been occupied,it appears that alot of seats are being used as cheap retainners for tickets if they are ever needed,i.e-f.a cup,play offs etc. :ayatollah:

My son & I are both season ticket holders in the family stand but can't often get to evening games as we live 185 miles from Cardiff and work/school usually stops us.
I did get an email from the club last season after we missed two evening games asking why we hadn't been and what could the club do to encourage us to attend more.

Agree. I usually try to upgrade or change tickets if one of mine cannot make it. They even said the overflow area in the Canton was sold out last Weds.I think a sell back system should be in place - maybe go 50/50 with the club selling the ticket for you
