Is there the facility to share a season ticket, either officially through the club or by posting the card between the sharers.
I'd be interested in splitting one.  I live in London so cannot practically get to the midweek/monday matches and the 12.45 sundays are a bit of a ball ache.  Take those out and I reckon the value for money aspect is lost. 

What's stopping you?  I know loads of people who've shared season tickets for loads of different clubs for years.

I didn't renew this season, but in previous years when my match-attending friend has been unable to attend, i have had friends use her card with no problems at all.

I was a bit worried re the fact that she's a woman and my friends were not and that the name might flash up on entering the ground or something and trigger some "non transferable" grief with the bloke sat at the turnstile, but it was fine.

I vaguely remember asking General Krulak what the policy was re using someone else's card. Unfortunately, my memory of the answer is even vaguer. To the point that I can't remember.

Anyway, as Adam said, there won't be any problem sharing.

Mine was used by a motley collection of nephews and girlfriends and both adults and children while I was unable to go last year without a problem.

The only reason the turnstyle operators are there is to check that adults aren't using some form of concession season ticket and once the correct colour light appears they just stand on the turnstyle release.  They don't know or care whether you have the same name as that printed on the season ticket you're using.

If anything, our club should understand sharing season tickets more than most given Randy's involvement.  It's common practice for all sports in the US as the prices are so outrageously high.

Nope, no post or email or phone calls or texts.

If it wasn't for someone posting a link on this site, I wouldn't have known that the ST's were available to renew yet.

I'm guessing they won't push it until they know if we are safe or not...it's going to be a different advertising message if we are playing Ipswich compared to Manu in August.

Ok thanks I've had nothing either but my postman is useless and I'm sure he bins most of his round.
Any idea when the deadline is for renewing for existing ST's ?

Yes. We have had our letter and I renewed on Monday. Got the letter today to sign for the 9 months interest free credit. Can't say fairer than that. Away Scheme and Cup Scheme also sorted. Takes the hassle out of getting tickets apart from away cup matches.

Hmmm we've had nothing , will have to call the office tomorrow as our postman isn't so reliable so our info could well be lying in a gully somewhere .

Probably a blue nose. Mind you, so is ours.

You may not be far wide of the mark. Especially as the villa post is clearly labelled with the club badge etc. I'm going to call them tomorrow as we are keen to renew .

£490 if I get mine before June and for the first time ever I've actually saved up the money.

Does anyone know how long you get to renew your existing seat, before they open it up to everyone?
