ticket exchange

[adrenachrome]

Bizarre they haven't tied anything up with another ticket supplier yet I must say.

The season is starting, people want to use the service like in previous seasons and nothing.

Perhaps they won't have a resale ticket partner ?

I must admit, when it was first advertised I thought: hold on, they may be looking at the deal purely as a service to season ticket holders who miss a few matches, but what about the the effects of discounts on the buyer side, not to mention charges and commissions involved. Sure enough, before very long everyone and their uncle, including me, were posting on this site that we would not be getting a season tickets as we could attend the the games we chose by using Viagogo and saving a packet. Some devious elements even said you could buy a heavily discounted ticket in the wings of the Upper Triniity, and then pick your seat in the centre at your leisure.

Nonetheless, once the club decided to become involved in the project, they should not withdraw it without an explanation to the fans as to their reasons for so doing.

It doesn't really work for the club does it when on average there are 10,000 empty seats

I would guess they get paid by Viagogo and  there's also a secondary effect that it keeps season ticket sales up.

Maybe the club will just have more special offers of their own to try to sell tickets in the less desirable areas; eg right next to the away fans, upper TR wings, close to the bloody drum, anywhere near Legion etc

In fairness they're doing early bird tickets for all games which is a good idea.

My Dad's over 65 now so his tickets will be around 20 quid for most of the games e.g. Cat B and C.

That was what I purchased for Sunderland game anyway, 27quid for one adult and 21 quid for concession. Not as cheap as Viagogo but not as dear as the regular prices for the game. Not bothering with Man. United.

  as mr woodhall would say why buy tickets for a match you cant attend you must be a plonker like me who is in same position. after all you should have known that avfc would play their first ever friday evening fixture (good friday apart) in 142 years! sarcasm intended

Quite why you should launch into another dig at me when my sole comment on the matter was a perfectly civil one is beyond me. Answer that and I'll give you a list of the Friday night games we've played over the years.

I was at that match, was it The BBCs first live league match ?

Back on topic, my son can't go on Friday & he has a junior season ticket, will I be able to use it ? I've borrowed a pensioners season ticket in the past with no problem.

Iirc we played the Albion on a pre-Christmas Friday night in 1987-88

And West Brom in 1987/88.

West Ham was played on a good friday in the late 90s I think.
