They're paying £500 for a single match?!The club have to be seen to do something officially I guess but I would never use it
I am away for two and a bit weeks soon and missing WBA and Charlton games, I am lucky enough to know a few people I am happy to charge a little under Face Value for when I am not here - That will be a thing of the past if we move to digital tickets though
I think the voucher should be allowed to be used anywhere, from reading the club's article it is now only valid at food & drink outlets in the ground.
I think we should have the option to use the voucher in the club shop or for f&bWhat, you want an Amazon voucher or something?
Just wondering if the Club’s ticket exchange scheme is the worst in the country. Surely Doug King needs to do something about it, or am I just a naive season ticket holder who needs to get real?
A lot of clubs operate a scheme whereby the ticket holder is reimbursed the true price they paid for it or get an equivalent discount from the next seasons ticket.I think the voucher should be allowed to be used anywhere, from reading the club's article it is now only valid at food & drink outlets in the ground.

Really! You prefer to short-changed.Most give a small refund or gift.
We shouldn't be reimbursed the entire ticket price because it would lead to people deciding to stay at home when it's a bit cold or they've had too many pints the night before.

Never?????It's just been introduced this season, it may get tweaked but right now it's fine. I managed to get a free pie and pint at the Watford game. Happy man.
Well, if I'm being honest, I think it was 2 pies, a beer and a tea. The guy serving messed up the till.
Leaving aside the reimbursement amount for a moment, can I just point out that having a ticket provides the right to attend, not the obligation to do so.
If people decide to stay at home for the odd game, surely that's their business. Christ knows there's plenty of games I've been to in the past where the club should've paid me.
If I'm obliged to attend then I'd at least want minimum wage, and more if they want me to sing as well.
Are you suggesting we should follow utd's model of operation, really?From the club’s perspective, they want a full stadium and if the demand is there, the club ought to incentivise STHs to put the ticket up on the Exchange. Particularly now there’s a waiting list for STs, the club should ensure fans are actually attending games.
At Man U, if you miss 3 games and don’t put the ST on the exchange, you lose your ST. That’s harsh but considering that club’s context, somewhat reasonable.
No, but what King has introduced for the FZ should probably be stadium wide.Are you suggesting we should follow utd's model of operation, really?

Not really if it's your st We're talking about in reality but I do get what you're saying.You’re lucky to have such friends. Any of mine expect the ST for free and wouldn’t pay £20 for it nevermind a little under face value.
The £10 voucher is fucking stingy. For a match ticket that there going to sell for £37-45, a tenner voucher is tight - especially compared to other clubs.
It won’t be. It will be an 18-21 ticket, so still be a concession.On this subject, I wanted to upgrade my daughter's U18 season ticket to an adult one. Reason being is that she's 17, started a new job and can't make every home game now. I asked if I could pay the difference and move it from U18 to adult and they said no. Their only advice was to cancel the ST for each game and buy a new adult ticket for that seat. Why would I go to the bother of doing that. I'd just buy another seat if that was the case (unless completely sold out of course).
It's going to be an adult ticket next season anyway, so unless they start doing facial recognition then I'll be doing it. Odd they turned down an extra few hundred for nothing though.
Ahh ok, fair enough on your first line. Didn't realise the next bracket was 18-21.It won’t be. It will be an 18-21 ticket, so still be a concession.
Thats the reason they went to the trouble of getting every season ticket holders birth date a few years ago.
They will only sell season tickets for age group you fall into.
I have a senior ticket,I tried to change to an adult ticket a few seasons ago. They refused, they said to stop me lending my ticket to friends.
The seat is not yours if you are not using it for any game, it is the club’s to do as they wish with.

Went in the Balcony Bar, got a voucher through the post, free hotdog and coke next game. Seemed alright to me. Last season I got FA.
The T's and C's are what makes clubs able to make you sell your ticket back to them. If it is in the T's and C's and you agree then it is fair game. Always read them folksI believe in the T&C's, the ST remains property of the club. They get to decide what to do with it.
It's not fair, I agree. Although I also want seats full. I think it's unfair people leave their seat empty when they could be filled. £10 is a nice incentive.
If you're upgrading your ticket, it would be nice if they knocked off £20 or so for the upgrade. Leaves the club £15 quid or so to make. That would surely cover all costs?
