My family got some jovial banter from those who sit near us to say that for the Arsenal game (when we were away) all 5 tickets were taken by away fans. Would have been bought by a season ticket holder for guests I suspect
To enable me to continue to treat people over the years that would only want to sit with us I now a few times a season buy on exchange tickets in my group when they dont attend. They all do the same. Nobody wants payment so Involves 3 bank transfers to get same result but club gains by £10/20. Certainly better than having to paying for membership for every person we invite.

Thanks for reminding me..
Just listed our 2 tickets in E3C for both Chelsea and Man Utd games..........it appears the exchange is already open for UTD

Each STH could only buy 1 guest ticket

Did I hear right that they have removed the bar code on the e ticket so you can’t copy it and send it to a mate.
not that I have done it as I put mine in the ticket exchange

The amount of arsenal fans coming from the uni car parks at that game it doesn’t surprise me. I thought only members could by parking tickets

The way football has gone ,Brighton can afford to do this as their riding hire at the moment demand is hire .
You might think the ticket price is 'scandalous' but this is neither a scam nor a scandal - it is just the official ticket policy.

I used the print at home yesterday and it cost £2.50. This is because I upgraded my son's ticket to an over 65 and was arriving at different time to my old man who doesn't have a mobile phone (or not one he switches on since he opined the ring tone upset the cat). My dad never worked out how to work the video so it's too late now to teach him new tricks. Even with the paper copy last night he thought he was part of Oceans 11 under the scanner (as it turned out I went in with him, money well spent)
Charging 2.50 for something that costs nowt and I've printed out really is a bit of a piss take IMHO.

Pointing out the obvious I know, but the club don’t force anyone to go so how can it be a scandal? Everyone has the freedom to walk away, and really football clubs today are doing everything possible to destroy loyalty so why not pick and choose according to success?!

Cost of each ticket. 1/19th of £880 season ticket , so cost £46 + £60 to buy back £106, less £41 returned so £65. So club gains £38 for the two tickets we had already paid for !!!
However seems I`m in the minority for considering this to be a bit of a scam.
