I'm at a wedding on Saturday, so have forwarded my ticket to a friend. It took me a while to get my head around it, but now I've got it sorted, I thought it might be helpful to write down how I did it:
1. Whoever you are giving your ticket to needs to be on your Friends & Family list. If they're not there already, you can add them like this:
a) Sign into the AVFC app
b) Go the the tickets section, click the profile option in the top right (a silhouette), then 'Edit Profile', then 'Ticketing', then your initials in the top right, and then you should see a 'Friends & Family' option. From there you can click add - you'll need a Fan ID and postcode/surname for the person you are adding. [this is way too many clicks to get to this section of the app, but it's the only way I know how to do it]
2. Head to the Home screen again, and hit 'Tickets' at the bottom. You should see the Newcastle game there (if it has been sent out).
3. From there you should see the 'Forward Ticket' option. This wasn't there when I looked yesterday, but it was this morning. All I had to do then was select the person from my list that I wanted to forward it to. I've since had a message from my mate to say he's received it.
It's actually a much easier process than last season - but only once it's all set up, and once again, the lack of communication from the club is pretty amateur in all honesty. This has taken me five minutes to write, and could save them an awful lot of time fielding questions from people (let alone provide customers with a much better service, which is admittedly not something they tend to think about).
