Hello Paul
I was a little concerned to see your previous reply below, that 'discussions are ongoing, with the AIM of offering a ticket exchange'.
Whilst its great the discussions are taking place, I do trust the true importance of this is recognised by all concerned. An efficient Exchange is utterly essential to the long term health of the club.
To recap the obvious benefits:
1. It would open up the Amex / Albion to future generations of non STH's who would be all but excluded otherwise.
2. It would be a huge benefit to any STH who for geographical / work reasons, cannot attend every game, thus maximising the percentage of ST renewals.
3. The modest admin fee charged by the club on each re-sale would be an additional source of income.
4. The matchday spend on programs food, etc from the re-sales, is all bonus income, against an empty seat.
5. It would prevent pockets of empty seats, which would be both detrimental to the atmosphere, and hugely frustrating for those denied a seat, for a 'sold out' match.
I'm totally aware than none of this is new, or anything you haven't heard already, both just ask that those 'aiming' to introduce such a scheme, are reminded of its importance.
Thanks
Simon
