Am I being too cynical if I was to say that you'll get back 1/19 of your season ticket but the tickets will then be sold at matchday prices?

That sounds fair enough to me, to be honest.

Any other way and you're making a profit on it.

They could always sell the tickets for what they paid. Anything else and they'll be touting.

I wouldn't say you were being cynical. But I'd definitely say you were being naive to think they'd do anything but!

I’d say you’re spot on but they do need to take a cut for admin etc. Ultimately they’ll probably make a bit on it as well but I wouldn’t have thought it would be massively profitable for them.

Also it does mean the club takes the profit that may have gone to an enterprising fan or tout.

I really don't think this is an issue.

If the club hadn't sold that season ticket they'd be selling the ticket for the same price as all the others.  If a season ticket holder doesn't attend is it any surprise they'd sell the ticket for the same price as all the others?

Put another way, how daft would the club look to have two price categories for seats next to each other, just because one was originally bought by a season ticket holder and the other wasn't?

Why should the club take on the admin of selling an already sold season ticket and then undercut their own prices of available seats in the process?  That would be madness.  I can’t believe people are making an issue of this.

Did you get any goodies or just the card ?

I think that the only Season Ticket freebies that were any use to me was the year that we had vouchers for free pies/drinks

Literally just the card and a covering letter.

I received just the new card and a letter, no other goodies included.

Mine arrived today as well. I quite like the fact it's just a letter and the card.
Feels nicely old-school. It's like scoring a brilliant goal and just shaking hands on the way back to the restart.

So am on the look out for
1) cost of upgrading my Dad’s 65+ ST to adult if he’s not up to making any games
2) any restriction as to how often it’s allowed
3) re-sale process

Will message @AVFCsupport on twitter and share any updates, but curious if anybody had any news, FAQs haven’t been updated but that’s not necessarily indicative it seems...
