With the continuing Covid problems and the Club making ticket sharing much harder I can see large numbers of empty seats at home games. Season before last our tickets were often used by friends or family who were not Club members now nigh on impossible and I def feel some reluctance to go to full stadium in the near future with covid cases on the rise again. 86 fatalities from covid reported in last 24 hour period. Do you feel I`m right or are you more optimistic ??

It will certainly be more difficult to pass on tickets to family and friends, a lot more empty seats unfortunately.
It is the Pingdemic now...

Negligible difference, if anything.

Indeed, cannot wait to get back, but in situations where, in the past I’d give my ticket to my Brother or a mate, I will not be doing this now, the pretendance announcement will be chuckled at even more now..

Oh good, yet another thread for people to moan about the 25 quid charge. Cunningly disguised as a Covid thread though.

I'm sure plans are afoot amongst the creative heads across the region; loopholes and dodges are specialities on here.
Whether you agree or not people are only stating an opinion. Because of the £25 charge there will be a lot more empty seats. Among our group several times unable to sell tickets on club exchange and ended up giving ( persuading ) a friend to take ticket. It is a fact these seats will now remain empty

Is the £25 charge per game or does the ticket holder pay per season?

Nothing to do with £25 charge. You think thread was cunningly disguised as covid thread ??
The inability to pass ticket to friend family or work colleague is my problem as well as the ongoing covid situation which will lead to more empty seats..
Thanks. If only you’d mentioned this before.
Per season.

I might or might not have slipped a mate my ST card in the past so they can use my seat when I couldn't make it.
Lot of faff to do it now even after paying the extra 25 quid. So can see many more empty seats as a result

I thought the season ticket exchange is now open every game albeit they are top prices per game

Cheers, not so bad then.
Would love to know how many will go games despite having told their boss they 'have' to isolate

There could be a few empty seats. Live with it. There have been a few empty seats every home game.
Why is everyone so paranoid about reselling their seat.

Looking at the instructions, once you're set up (add them as F&F, which is simple) there's virtually no faff at all - simply log on and 'forward' the ticket to the recipient.

The £25 is charged to non season ticket holders to become members for the season (£15 for junior members). Season ticket holders pay £20 to upgrade their ticket to a sharing one. At the moment according to this (https://tickets.brightonandhovealbi...ntent/documents/html/seasonticketsharing.html ) it’s only for the 21/22 season but if the scheme works I would imagine it would become a permanent way of sharing tickets.
