Season Tickets

I thought you were allowed to sell your home seat if you could not attend - obviously via AVFC where they take a commission. Is this still available ?

I did this a few times last season when my son couldn’t make it for the midweek matches, single seat in the lower Doug Ellis and I think it sold every time and it easy to do online. Upgrading the ticket to an adult is a ballache as you have to call up and it takes ages to get through.

so is the sale process the same again this year. Mine went unused last year when i didn't go but now its like £45 a game i can't afford to not resell it

AFAIK the sale process is the same.
I am hopeful that there will be more sellouts this season as they won’t resell your ticket until it is a sell out.
I believe you can also pass your tickets on if you notify the club. For example, if you go with a friend/family member & they can’t go one week, you can nominate another person to go with you as long as you’re not selling it. You can actually do this online and send an e-ticket to the other person.

I have asked how easy it is easy to transfer a ticket to a friend. This was the reply:

There will be an opportunity where you will be able to officially transfer over a ticket to another supporter if you are unable to attend a match.

Once a fixture becomes available for season ticket holders to purchase additional tickets, you will need to call the ticket office on 0333 323 1874 with your Fan ID and the supporter you wish to give your ticket to, Fan ID. We can then transfer over this ticket and an e-ticket for the supporter to use for that one match will be emailed over to you.

I wonder if that is the bit they will be clamping down on.  I hope not as it's better to pass the game on to someone you know rather than resell for a reduced price thorough the club. (I didn't know you cud do it on line I thought you had to phone up and ask for an e-ticket)

What I would say with the club resale is it's always worked very well when I've used it.  It's as simple as clicking button. I've never understood why people leave tickets unused when the club resale is so easy.

One of my nephews shares a ticket with his mate as both have young families and therefore other calls on their time and money. This worked without a hitch last season so I’m hoping they don’t get problems in future.

Or, I just give my season ticket to my mate

As long as there's no facial recognition I don't see how this could ever be a problem.

So you can't transfer your ticket to just anybody , they have to have a fan ID already?

Indeed, everything else is "going on a list" and nobody wants to be on a list.

[Exeter 77]

Do we know when season ticket packs are being sent out yet?

i guess if someone sits near you who is after your seat for a friend / family member they can grass you up to the club ??

How would they know that you hadn't gone through the official channels?

Anyone can have a fan ID. If you want to transfer your ticket to someone who hasn’t got one yet, you could set one up for them in the same call. You’ll need their address & dob I think though.
