It means they're available at concession prices i.e. they were a concession ticket originally

Don't get me wrong, I think it's what the game needs. Less TV and more exclusivity to those paying to watch at the ground. You can then see the highlights on MOTD.
However, there is a reason the Prem is called the promised land...££££££
Without TV money, Bournemouth, Fulham, Brentford, Palace, us, and others wouldn't be able to compete at all. Your Leeds, Sheff Wed, Sunderlands and other clubs with traditionally larger fanbases I suspect would take our place (like in the past) and we'd be relegation fodder without a chance.

Traffic not helping & I guess some fans think it’s unlikely we will qualify for Europe. I think we have a chance but probably need 7 points.

Couldn't go yesterday due to the game being moved from Saturday to Sunday.
I put my ST on the exchange for the second time this season. For the second time it didn't sell.
I haven't made my mind up yet if I'll go to the Liverpool game. Flying early the following day.
If I don't, I won't post my ticket for resale. If ever a game was made for a futile protest against Sky's shan kick off times, the utterly inadequate and hopeless midweek transport at the Amex and the complete indifference of the club to same, it's this one. I guess one transgression won't put me on the naughty step.

I've had to miss two home games this season, and my ticket failed to sell both times on the exchange - the first time(s) that has happened.

I agree with the first point but the second is what the club are already doing anyway, there is no discount.
If I’m reading 2) correctly I’m understanding you recommend that the club should discount unsold tickets on the day of the match. This would just stop people buying tickets in advance and then not bothering on match day.
There’s various issues with your sugggestion but there has to be a better way. That said, the club have got their money so I’m not sure there’s any will to completely fill the ground.

The problem with selling a lot of exchange tickets at a concession price is that they have to refund the season ticket holder based on it not being a concession so would be losing money.
I guess they could change their money back scheme to allow for this and only give you a concession price back if that’s what it sold for but how many would be happy with that?

Five times in a row now either my son's ticket or mine (or both) have failed to sell on the exchange – (since Barber's email and the very noticeable drop in attendances recently). All previous seasons we sold these WSL seats almost guaranteed every time.
Shit travel situation
Shit membership/ticket sharing etc situation - (some will disagree on this, that's fine - many other clubs are better on this IMO).
Was always going to happen. Think the club may regret being quite so hard on season ticket holders when we next have get relegated/have a significant poor patch on the pitch.

seems to be an expectation that tickets will sell when they are put on the Exchange and the club should make every effort to sell them, even at a loss to the club.
Surely the club is right to have an expectation that STH want to go to every home match and will only drop out in exceptional circumstances. Not fancying a match doesn’t count!
Some are claiming that their ticket always sold on the Exchange (before it even came into operation?)

Not possible.
According to the BBC the match was a near sell out with 31580 attending. Lol

Does the club wait to the last 'club' ticket is sold before putting up the exchange tickets, if so there must be a lot of lost opportunities there i.e. where a couple want to go but don't because seats are individual or in the worst possible places e.g. top row WSU.

I actually don't think they are not selling because of travel/membership situation, we are just reaching that point 8 seasons into the premier league, where for some people they are losing the appetite. My mum didn't go Sunday, usually I can find a MyAlbion+ to shift it to with ease, Saturday nobody was interested.

no, they seem to wait until there are around 100 ish left and when most 'pairs' are gone
