Probably going to pull the trigger on a ST thi syear, but as I dont live in mainland UK, its just not possible to attend every match.

On that basis, is it possible to share with somebody who can attend, and whatsthe process?

Thanks

If you're sharing with someone in Coventry, just give them the card and pick it up every time you come. How many times are you planning on going this season?

Should be fine.

My missus has one but with a kid already and twins on the way she doesn’t come to many games anymore so my mate uses it.

As long as it is the right category ie adult using adult etc you’ll be fine. They will need your card though.

If you splash out on Corporate, they'll provide a paper ticket for your "guest" (for a small fee) if you can't be there or get the card to them.

If you ever can't swap the card, the other person could pick up a paper replacement from the ticket office on the day of the game. They started charging £5 last season and obviously it's intended for if you forget/lose the card. I've been asked for any combination of my name, email address, postcode, first line of address, exact seat block/row/number in the past. As long as the other person knows this info you should be fine.

They did ask me for photo ID once but I'd forgotten my wallet (hence I didn't have my ST) and was still able to get one.

thanks for all replies, probably 6-8, but i wouldnt really want to keep leaving an empty seat so the plan would be to find someone who was happy to fill in the gaps.

There are guidelines on the season ticket section. It is well worth a read.

You can share with me if you want, I already have my season ticket but will be missing multiple Saturdays this season.

I'm looking to get one, but don't live in the UK either. Just considering my options at the moment, as I won't be able to attend every game myself. This just feels all to good to miss out on...

Any reason in particular? Will upu know in advance which games? We have 3 for me, my daughter and dad. Sometimes my wife likes to go but can only do Saturdays duecto work commitments and even then not always. I did ask the club on the off-chance but they wanted full price. Could be interested in 50/50 share if you can decide games well in advance and pay you 50% of your cost back. Be great as most people are can't attend midweek rather than weekends. DM me if you have a list of games and price, thanks.

Hey.

Mainly because I have commitments every Saturday at 6, so it's nice to have the day free more than once every couple of weeks so I can relax and spend time with wife. I'm almost certainly going to attend mid week games, I'm easy on
which Saturdays unless I have to miss because am away. Will probably miss 6-8 games this year. I have been chatting to skyblueiom about him using it occasionally when they can get over, so have to see what he wants to do. Wouldn't the seat not being next to you guys be a problem?

If you have other options no worries and we'll just buy the odd game here and there when she can come. The plan is to get the nearest to us, but in games where its not a sell out all 4 of us likely will move together once in and perhaps sit eg behind the goal.

I know a couple of people who have bought season tickets for the points mainly, but can only do 5 or 6 games, so they will sell it at pro-rata face value for the other games amongst friends and family.

Club should be mindful of this when setting matchday prices, set them too high and it will encourage season ticket sharing and reselling.

Yeah, I'm happy to share with you guys, but I'll wait to see what skyblueiom wants to do first. I could easily move the seat if you have a spare next to you. What block are you in?

Oh you should be fine for free seats near you. I was behind the goal last season but realised I can't deal with the sun in my eyes. Block 1 this year.

I’m moving down London way in September so midweek home games may not be possible. If someone is skint and needs a ticket, feel free to message me.

On the next point, my brother is playing rugby most Saturdays and has a concession ST. Both of us would prefer the ST to be used for both games - how feasible is it to lend that spare out?

I presume very reasonable if you can get the card to the person using it, and they are also in concession bracket.

I’ve paid as a fully paying adult despite technically qualifying as a student. Are students still classed as concessions?

I’m going to try and advertise my brothers’ and my own spare tickets where possible.

Yes students are concessions this year. To be honest, my wife's a student so I wouldn't mind paying you for it on the occasional Saturday. Won't be many mind.

In Aus they do match packages for certain sports. You can buy a 3, 5, 10 match package. Can be any game you just have to go online and enter your code and pick your seat and it just reduces off your total tally you have which is pretty good and at least that way Club still get good revenue and people buying in bulk, sometimes don’t even attend be full amount of games they bought

Only problem with the packages is you’re not guaranteed a ticket.

If we do have a good season there will be several sell outs. Even with the match packages you’d still be scrambling for a ticket

Don’t worry, the trains to/from London are very reliable and you’ll usually be home by 1am

It was meant to be a play on somebody's username on here (SHUNT31) but I shouldn't have bothered. Even SHUNT31 didn't pick it up LOL.
