Season Tickets

[dalians umbrella]

Leeds are introducing a new policy where they won't invite ST holders to renew if they don't come to 80% of matches or more;

"United consistently register sell-outs at home and have a season-ticket waiting list in excess of 20,000 for their 36,000-capacity stadium."

"Despite the overwhelming demand for tickets, season-ticket holders not attending matches at Elland Road is still a problem as it detracts from our legendary atmosphere that is vital to the teams’ performance..."

"Season-ticket holders must attend 80 per cent of the home league games at Elland Road or they will not be invited to renew for the following season."

My dad has had to re-sell his season ticket seat for most of this season due to being unable to attend due to cancer and I have sold mine for quite a few games to watch games with him on TV.  I am already expecting renewal  issues because our seats are in a "prime position" to be turned into padded or corporate seats but if this happened too,  I will be absolutely spitting blood having had those exact seats since 2011 and being season ticket holders for years before that.

Now having actually  read the article, it says "Individual matches will count towards the 80 per cent cut-off if holders attend in person, use the club’s ticket-forwarding scheme to allow friends of family to take their seat or put their ticket up for resale via Leeds’ ticket exchange." so I'm spitting less blood now and maybe I should have read it before posting.

Of that ticket forwarding thing for friends and family sounds a good idea.

I’ve never considered the resale option. It always goes to a friend or a friend of a friend.

Just had email from AVFC about downloading my digital season ticket to apple wallet, an attempt by Heck to stop those who cannot attend some matches giving their ticket to mates?

I've had the same. While I'm all for new tech in general, my phone is over six years old and the battery seems to be less robust than before. So it's a no from me.

I’ll download it as back up to my actual card, in case I lose it or leave it at home, but to be fair, regardless of battery life, I do usually have plenty of battery left at the point in the day when I’m going into Villa Park.
