Because the club cannot officially condone something that is apparently illegal.

Yet the op may have been naive, but it doesn't seem to me that he was trying to abuse any system or take advantage of the Albion. He was just trying to give out some helpful information.

Thank you for making that clear.

And that is probably why Giraffe is right, the club should perhaps make a clearer statement, and this thread should die.

Yep, I don't care about the money. I already stated that earlier in the thread.

Good point! :dunce:

Well, not so much now as they've grown up a bit, but they used to be a mare at the matches on occasion. I'm thinking more of younger kids where an adult is needed. It really is not a bad idea, but sometimes people are VERY funny about a simple thing like swapping seats.

Brilliant story!

Not too keen as my kids and I sit with my brother in the family stand. They would have a stranger between them and my brother if I was unable to go. Of course, it's easy to ask someone to swap seats but not everyone is reasonable.

I agree. One of the funniest and most inventive remarks I've seen on here for a long time!

I just read the beginning of the thread until insiders post. I do not believe anyone was advocating any bad practise. There were many posts which said that cards need upgrading if they are concessionary. There were others who postulated about touts abusing the system and said the club should...

In which case insider did not state what the policy is for the case where a ticket holder can't make it for various reasons and wants a friend or family member to have the seat for a match as in the op.

OK mate, that's good advice.

It seems bonkers to me as well. I was injured recently and had a few weeks off work, I missed the Preston and wolves matches but gave, at no price, my tickets to friends who both enjoyed the matches, gave vocal support to the players and bought food and drink from the kiosk. If I was going...

I agree, I think that clause refers to completely giving up your ticket and someone else taking possession.

Thanks. This info is useful to me as I was recently unwell and twice passed my ticket onto a friend.

Someone on this thread doesn't think it's true: http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?t=344626 'According to Paul Barber this is illegal, and anybody found doing so will receive a lifetime stadium ban, and potential legal charges.'

That's very useful to know! Thanks. Can you make that request by email? Sometimes the wait on the phone is long and that will probably more than double the £1.50 as their phone line is premium.
