You can give the ticket to a family member or friend, but no money should change hands, whether at face value or even just a tenner.

I suspect you already know the answer, and detect a withering ennui
Nobody has ever been caught passing on a ticket to a mate (unless the mate has been banned and is spotted on the way in. In which case it is the presence and identification of the 'fan' rather than the passing on of the ticket that is caught). After being frisked, we put our tickets in the ticket reader. Nobody looks at the ticket (I am talking about STs here - albeit I have had a print at home and that is also machine read at the turnstyle too).
So, as noted by 99.9% of those posting on this thread, the 0.1% who continue to be broflake outraged that nobody told them they can't sell their ticket to 'headhunter88' on Gumtree really need to give their head a good old wobble, and give the rest of us the wonderful gift of their silence.

I would sugget this is covered by the same rules the club has for those STH’s who exercise their right to buy an additional ticket for a game...... You are responsible for the person who is in that seat.
I think it would be fool hardy to push PB or the club on this matter as I have a feeling if a definative answer in writing was sought, it may not be the answer most want to read.

strong and stable with me, or...
Completely agree, a tiny toys out of the pram from a few end up worsening the rules for the many. We've already had upgrades for kids tickets limited to 6 because of a minority abusing the system.

The club wields a mighty sledgehammer.

Some clubs have the pro rata ticket price, minus a 10% admin fee. Some don’t charge a fee but you cover the resellers fee (like Everton). Some don’t do cash but give you a credit off next year’s seaon ticket.
Either way, I reckon it would be close to the values offered as a voucher now, except not as a voucher.
Personally, I favour the Arsenal model of money off next years season ticket.
Exactly what I meant.......it's pretty simple really. Still not any evidence that anyone doing this has been sanctioned.

Fair play to PB for replying and i look forward to a fully functioning cash back ticket exchange system , now the thing about that is will it be kicking in as each block sells out or will every seat in the stadium have to sell before it kicks in ? , the reason why there's been very few times as stated , the current neolithic ticket exchange system kicks in is that the club waits until the last possible moment to start it up because there's been a few disabled seats left ect , thus people just don't bother with it , thus people still passing tickets to mates , and i don't blame them , so will the new system be a block by block or as it is now ? if it is the same as now then nothing will change because very few games at home sell out completely apparently .

What a nice straightforward fan-friendly solution
'We all know that even the most die-hard Season Ticket holder can’t make it to every match; life just gets in the way sometimes.'
If it's good enough for Everton, it's good enough for the Albion.
Stubhub is a rip-off. Something like 30% mark-up for gig tickets. Assume it's same for football.
Albion should look at Twickets (just a few quid mark-up) as used by Arsenal, Palace, QPR etc etc.
Not seen Twickets before... it looks very good to me. Hope it really catches on.
Sorry, how much is that? I've no idea!
My take is that the Club are content to let STH give ticket to mate when they can`t go. Whether money changes hand is not known. It is right that STH is responsible for anyone they give ticket to. My family have three tickets and probably about 50% of the games this season have we all gone.However I think only one game have we had one empty seat. Always taking either family member/close friend or work colleague. I do think the "problem" is being blown up .Yes Ticket touts and STH trying to profit from sale of tickets need to be drummed out. I guess there are a miniscule no of STH who are causing a problem and it is disappointing to still see tickets on agencies websites.

Thanks but £30 for each of us on top of the ticket price is too much.
I might do it next season though.The £30 for Bronze is for the season and not for a year so only valid for 4 home games one of which is sold out. One may be moved so cannot book a flight for that until the cup game is done.

It’s £25 for an adult which but less for concessions.
If you are in an expensive area like he centre blocks of the WSL I would agree that’s scant compensation, but for a north stand ticket, pro rata, it not so bad.

Splitting hairs over a few quid in my opinion there. There would be a mathmatical way of working out % difference of price category's and how many games in each category but tbh anyone doing that needs to get out more. I meant the easiest way is just % by 19 or 23 etc.
