[Albion] The Ticket Exchange - what's the point?

[Herr Tubthumper]

I've never heard of it. I doubt any of our other veterans have either or else it would've been mentioned.

I might be wicked this weekend, and just not list my ticket. The club can hardly threaten me to cancel my season ticket when I have already cancelled it.

Okay. I think I might have confused it with Aston Villa. A good friend is a ST there and they have a discount for service men and women.

Were you on the naughty step even though you sold?

I was back in October. The Exchange wasn’t even open.

 

[Bozza]

Exchange now open for West Ham.

2,550 tickets available.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

All clubs have these utilisation rules now . Some (Brentford) give you a "yellow card" if you don't use your ticket. Some say it should be 2pm before the day of the match. Some say if you miss the 2pm but it sells - then that still counts too. ! (not sure the Albion do)

Yes, we all know about it now, but after people started complaining.

 

[Jeremiah]

Exchange now open for West Ham.

Yep - I have one on there but unlikely to sell due to huge amount of vacant seats and pairs and threes available

It’s interesting how they differ slightly club to club. Some (Man City) seem very onerous, some (Arsenal surprisingly) more generous / pragmatic than Albion, some (eg Brentford) - highly detailed terms listing types of illnesses / work situations at length they’d consider a pause in attending valid.
All seem to have this 2pm day before clause.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

There are only 52 regular seats still for sale for Saturday. Do they wait for every single one to sell before the exchange opens?

Think the club are waiting for the “reaction” to be formally released

 

[Stuart Munday]

Exchange now open for West Ham.

2,550 tickets available.

Roughly 10 per cent for a Saturday 3pm kick off, not great and maybe more to come.

 

[Cotton Socks]

After an unexpected bit of cash coming my way, I'm going to the match tomorrow.
Thank you to whoever in N1D put their tickets on the exchange so that I could buy them!

Just in case anyone is interested, due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e. my back has gone) I have two tickets (WSL) and a parking space (the Bridge) up for sale on the exchange if anyone is looking

Something interesting, a while ago I wanted to share my (adult) and sons (child) ST with Albion members for the Chelsea match - not allowed unless they were both Albion+.

Today, I’ve upgraded my sons ticket to a full paying adult ticket and sharing with a non-Albion+ member (he is a member but not Albion+).

It makes no logical sense to me, there were two empty seats for a game that could have had people spending money, tonight which will be pretty empty will have us drinking a few pints.

footballticketnet has loads of tickets for sale for tonights game. Are they legal ??

No! Club always say they are the only legitimate source for tickets.

No, I would expect the Albion's new ticket Tsar to be all over this site

I wonder if they've relaxed the requirement on the basis that it's a low-demand game and no one is going to buy a new Albion+ membership at this stage of the season?

For what it's worth, my ticket on the exchange was sold yesterday, so there is some demand (probably a plastic scouser).

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Doesn't seem to be a huge number of no-shows for tonight according to the North Stand seating plan. Mainly scattered singles

My ticket also sold on the exchange yesterday. Got the email just as I decided to take it off the exchange and go

Nah, it's always been possible to upgrade a ticket. (But the STH takes full responsibility for the ticket holder/non-member.)

I put my tickets on the exchange last week but now want to go tonight, it wont let me recall them even though they are still showing as being available on the website. Has any experienced this before?

EDIT: Rang the club and they did it for me
