Close the door on your way out
Providing there is still a way for season ticket holders to pass on tickets for little more than admin costs, I think this is a fantastic result. The ripping off of fans, especially often long term members, was intolerable. Skipped games rather than be ripped off and now I feel my sacrifice was worth it.
Do not think there was much option. As most matches will go to General sale the choice for non season ticket supporters will be buying direct or from a season ticket holder. The general sale tickets will be in the less popular part of the ground and thus cheaper and if season ticket holder prices are too high they will not be sold. Agree good news and hopefully will be carried on when back at WHL. Season ticket holders will not be able to make a profit on their seats but can recoup funds if they cannot go.
I read it as the seller will get back 1/19th of the ST price and the buyer will pay category price plus £7.50, presumably to cover costs for running the system.
Maybe they're worried about empty seats at Wembley? Would rather someone re-sell than just not show up if they can't make it?
Sounds like a much fairer system
Firstly, I've gotta say really well done to THST on this, as I'm sure without their pressure on the club regarding Stubhub they would never have abandoned them.
Secondly, I'll be interested to see how this works in practice. If, as was the case with Stubhub, seats can only be listed for resale once the stadium has already sold out then we might only see the system come into play for category A matches...

The way I understand it it, is you're free to list your ticket for sale for any game, regardless of take up, but you only get your 1/19th back if it sells? I.e, doesn't have to be a sell out before you can put it up for sale?
Yeah, but you've seen the match?
Given the period of "transition" of moving to Wembley, I think it's a nice gesture of the club to "reward" fans who have decided to purchase/renew their ST and deal with being buggered about.
But maybe that's just me.
But will you actually get a ticket to tout?
I assumed we'd be issued with some sort of access card, which we'd use throughout the season as per what happened at WHL?
Also, if you're only buying a ST to sell them, you've got a ST for the wrong reasons tbh.
I understand it to mean you can list your ticket even if the game isn't sold out. Although a buyer will have to pay the £7.50 fee, as mentioned above, many will be happy to pay it to sit in a more sought after area.
An additional point because ST holders don't get loyalty points for home league games (till now, it seems). We just got the lump of 35 points or whatever upon renewal.
Sammy?
Ha ha. I wish. I'd want my multi to be more intelligent and less sensationalist. If people can't tell the difference then I am personally offended!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:avbshock:
Still, nothing that a few Arcy neg reps can't cure...
Patience. The club will announce ticket exchange plans in due course...or did you not read the linked statement?
