What does “Passing Fan ID for a match ticket or concession abuse” and “Fan ID transfer of a season ticket” supposed to mean? Does it simply mean giving another person access to your fan ID to buy tickets and some how circumventing the season ticket waiting list? Surely it doesn’t mean you can’t pass your season ticket to a family or friends if you can’t attend a game?

"Fan ID transfer of a (season) ticket" Does this mean giving your fan id to someone so they get your ticket?

Is a season ticket holder allowed to request a printed ticket so that their brother /friend goes to a game?

Are we still allowed to give our ticket away when we can't attend? I never bother reselling it so that's an empty seat if I can't.
Why don't you resell through the club?  You only have to click one button on the website.

I'd rather just give it to mate, less hassle and I'm doing someone a favour.

They need to amend the wording on those two as it is ambiguous at best. They both refer to the fan ID rather than the physical eTicket or season ticket so it surely can’t mean allowing a family or friend to attend if you can’t make the game. That’s total bullshit if it is and the club needs to change its stance immediately (as an example, what about family or friends that share a season ticket and take it in turns attending games…there must be quite a few that do that already).

It is even more ludicrous during a pandemic when lots of people will be unable to attend at short notice.

The way the club has been run in the last few years has been great and I'm pretty happy with things generally at the moment, but this has properly pissed me off.  I'm a season ticket holder, with wife and daughter on the waiting list.  So far this season we haven't been able to sit together once because the ticket office has been effectively uncontactable, meaning the old process of just asking to swap my seat to wherever we could get 3 together has gone out of the window.

I've now reached the situation where for the Wolves game I have bought a seat on my wife's ID so I can sit next to my daughter, and resold my ticket via the official channel.  Firstly, is that against the rules in the context of this information?  Secondly, how is it fair that I get 80% of 1/19th of the value of my season ticket for doing this, when the club have now put my seat on sale for more than double what they are giving me back?

This is a shit bit of PR on top of the massive price hikes for the Wolves game, and genuinely the first time I think the new owners are getting things wrong.  We might be getting sell-outs now, but if we hit a shit patch like we did last season then people won't necessarily feel inclined to give their money to the club again.

Also, they don't seem to have even bothered sending an email out about this. How many fans don't check the OS or H&V?

wow! I believe its very rare I've actually qualified to go to an away game legitimately, in most cases I've purchased tickets off fans who can't go from facebook or occasionally on here.

I think "Fan ID transfer of a (season) ticket" means if someone in your family or friend group passed away you couldn't just give it to another family member the club sells it to someone on the waiting list.

It does make you wonder whether they think things through properly

I have noticed a slight change in the attitude (for want of a better word) of the club. I was in the 1874 Lounge before the Brentford game (which is normally accessesd by Reward prize winners and still is, if you've had your points back that is) but they announced for others, it will be £50 for the rest of the season, which I suppose is not a lot over the next 16 or so games. Add on the Wolves ticket hike which was far too much and this, then I don't know, there seems to have been a shift of some kind. I can't quite put my finger on it.

I said this on Villa ticket exchange on FB and got shot down about it. Get used to it and we’re not in the championship anymore, pal, were amongst the comments.
It’s the percentage increase that takes the piss. £36 v Toon and Toffees. £49.50 for the same seat v Dingles!.

It looks like they think that attendances and demand aren't going south any time soon so they can start to squeeze a bit harder.

I just gift mine to whoever when I can't go. Don't know where that sits, probably a life ban for aggressive generosity and suspected socialism.

Same. My daughter couldnt go last Saturday, so gave seadon ticket to one of my sons mates, he preferred  having his mate there, the mate was blown  away. everyones a winner. Id best go i to hiding now!!

I've given my ST away numerous times over the years to friends and family if I cannot make it, I just like someone to sit in my seat if I cannot attend!

That’s a weird one because you are allowed to do that, but you are supposed to do it officially by getting the club to cancel your card for that game and send you an e-ticket to pass on. You’re not supposed to lend your actual card.
