It is a £5 admin charge. Don't forget to have all details with him, like fan number, address etc.

Can't you transfer it on E-cash site for nothing via email or is that 1901 only?

you can ring the ticket office and get them to do it beforehand for a £5 charge, then you can collect it rather than waiting for them to do it before the game

6.12 Issue of Replacement Cards
Lost or stolen cards may be replaced at a charge of £25. On the day of a match, a duplicate ticket may be issued at the Club’s discretion for misplaced tickets/cards. The ticket/card will subsequently be cancelled for that match only. The duplicate ticket, if issued, will always take precedence. An initial non-refundable charge of £5 will be payable, with subsequent requests charged at £10.

It is a pity that there can't be a way of dealing with this sort of situation which would involve, for a small fee, the STH being sent a print-at-home one-match ticket, which he could forward at his own risk to his friend.
The club must do everything it can to deal with the large and increasing proportion of match day no-shows.

I'm sure barber knows more than you.
I suspect there's a difficult balance to find. Make it too easy and/or inexpensive and then it becomes far easier for season ticket holders to sell on tickets game by game. The grey market in tickets would then surely thrive and, with it, less match tickets would be bought from the club itself.

Will the club happily provide a replacement ticket for use by someone else - I've lent my ticket but always just handed over the card.

If they provide an e-ticket or a paper replacement does that constitute written consent, assuming you've told them that it's to transfer it to someone else?

I guess it would - but that's why I sked if they will provide a paper ticket if they know it's for someone else.

I would just make the point that either those T&Cs have changed since the stadium opened, OR the ticket manager himself and possibly others were saying the complete opposite when they were trying to get people to shell out for a ST at show-rounds.
I specifically went with the intention of asking that question and the Ticket Manager himself said that fans were at liberty to allow their cards to be used by friends/family at this stage, and that this would not change until such time as photo ID was brought in at the earliest (which it hasn't yet).
There is no doubt he said that, there were other witnesses, and it appears to be at odds with above rules.
Whether it is or it isn't the club would be stupid out of sheer greed for a few extra quid to start making a big fuss on this one and enforcing it, it would alienate a lot of fans for no good reason. For Christ's sake, they already have the ST money.
Mind you it wouldn't be the first time. They rolled over like puppies over the controlled zone parking issue instead of sticking up for proper Brighton fans, hoping to fill the car park at £15 a pop.

Isn't passing it on to a friend just the same as upgrading a child ticket to adult? I have to do this for most evening games and never have a problem, they obviously know it's for someone else. So why would it matter when switching tickets between adults?

Buy a ticket & sit in the 'wrong' seat, as a non ST holder he should not be able to gain access via a discounted ST rate, the club should get the £30 not the sick note
The club are well aware that people will, from time to time, give their season ticket to a friend of family member and they have no issue with this, despite what the Ts&Cs may indicate. Indeed, there are numerous people who have a 'season ticket share' which, technically, would not be permissible.
What the club do have an issue with is people buying a season ticket and then actively seeking to regularly sell on the ticket for games, taking advantage of the discount inherent with a season ticket purchase to under-cut the club's own official price for a one-off ticket.

Indeed. And then not only that but using their time and admin to print out the ticket
The T&Cs are there for a reason - doesn't mean the club have to enforce them all the time but means they have the option to if they think someone is abusing it. I've also upgraded my son's ticket to an adult ticket a few times - the uploading of the 'adult' ticket to the card plus the confirming email I get (and payment of the extra £20 of course) would probably count as 'express consent' as far as the T&C are concerned.
