Gold tickets

A lot of fans are pissed off with various elements of ticketing this season. For me its paying £80 just for me and my son to be in some sort of ticket lottery. The club knows its in a sellers market this year and is making sure they get as much money out of everyone - st holders included with this buyback thing. I just cant be arsed with it and apart from cup games and the friendlys ive watched, just gonna have a tv season this year, then go back to games when the glory hunters are bored and theres more seats so the club cant rip us off

i have a young son who has a season ticket in the Canton, he cannot make midweek games, as he couldnt last year as it is too late for him with school the next day. i have a mate who is a Cardiff fan but also plays football every saturday so hasnt got ST or gold/silver membership himself. I find it harsh that i cannot upgrade and give my sons ticket 2 my mate and instead will have some random sat in the seat I have paid for my son!

you could give the seat to no one though.


But seriously, what does it matter if some random is sat there? your son cant go (and how many midweek games are there really?)

Think what I was trying 2 get at is if it was an adult ST who couldn't make it I could give it 2 my mate 2 use. Even though I would pay 2 upgrade my sons child ST I won't be allowed 2 give it 2 my mate as he's not a gold member.

This is clearly an emotive subject.. but

I invested in 3 Cardiff City Season tickets around 7 years ago (taking my daughter every week when she was 3) and my son when he was 5 - back in the Ninian Park days.

Whenever there are night games (as I live in Chepstow) as its a little late for my daughter (as its takes c1.5 hours to get home sometimes as we park in the club car park) I have always upgraded and taken my nephew or father in law (who has had lung ancer - and so clearly cant have his own season ticket).

So in a way it does slightly peeve me off - that I cannot dictate who uses my tickets - when my daughter cannot go.

I did not see all these people clammering for tickets over the last 7 years...

in my opinion I have paid for the 3 tickets and should be able to use them at my discretion.

I am clearly not going to drive to Cardiff or sit on hold with the ticket office to get £1.25 added back into my account for next season - knowing full well I dont even think they can sell the seat !! (which incidently is between me and my son)!!!

so in theory we could be split up....
