Ticket exchange for coming season?

Mon Aug 05, 2013 9:43 am

Does anyone know if a while back someone set up a ticket exchange on twitter or something to that effect?

I know ST holders can sell back their tickets to the club this season but obviously there is the potential to get face value or more for games that can't be attended etc

My personal situation is that there's a couple of games I'd like to get tickets for so that mates from other other cities can attend and visit for the weekend etc

Any feedback welcome, cheers!

Didn't we work out this was a bit of a no go. You'd have to give over your plastic season ticket and then go and get it back. It'll work with paper tickets if your a Gold Member but there would be uproar if Gold members were moving on tickets.

Yeah that's a good point, I respect that. Wasn't strictly speaking of away supporters though. So still curious to know what options there may be for ticket exchange etc

Yesh that's s fair one! Would be do-able but yeah could be a pain in the ass and would have to be someone trustworthy.

I'm sure someone had set something up though somewhere.

Maybe people will have no problem giving out / selling on to people they know. Maybe they will advertsie on the for-sale section on here.

I've started a thread about trying to time the sell back of tickets to the club so fans one here can phone up knowing there are tickets.

I must admit I wouldn't want to take the chance of the club cancelling my ticket if someone was caught using it.

Yeah I have thought of it that way round as well, which could be above board etc

In theory you could sell back your ticket to the club and I guess it could be given a reference number which you could then pass on to a friend etc who had to call up to purchase it within a certain time frame. But then I have no experience of running a ticket office so god knows whether it would be manageable.

I have spoken to the ticket office and tis is what they said:

You can pass on your season ticket for matches you can't make, but the person that uses it has to be in the same bracket as the season ticket holder i.e. in my case I have an adult ST I can only pass my season ticket to someone that would fall into the adult bracket. If you wanted a junior or a senior to use your ticket they will need to be gold members and they will have to pay to upgrade the ticket for the match they are using it.

They will not print out paper tickets for matches you can not make, if someone else is using you ST they have to be in possession of the plastic season ticket card.

But be warned that any misuse of the ticket or any violations to club rules regarding behaviour, abuse etc the owner of the season ticket will be held responsible and possibly have their ticked revoked.
