Won't work, you're not allowed to transfer them, full stop. Not for cash, as freebies, for other goods, as raffle prizes, not even in exchange for sex!
You can't if advertising in a public place - that's the point.
Re: Closure of NSC ticket exchange
That assumes those that spend £20 on a ticket on the exchange would otherwise spend £30+ for an inferior ticket through the club which I am not sure is the case.
It will just drive the "unofficial" exchange underground which is a shame.

Given the high replacement fee for replacing lost cards and the potential hassle of sending/returning, you're better off lending only to friends and acquaintances anyway. Even easier if they sit near you at the ground.
Solution is to form private groups - using email lists, Facebook or wherever.
Nothing to stop you advertising the groups on NSC either...

Indeed. They're banking on tickets being resold.
Or perhaps they want empty (but paid for) seats to ease transport issues.
I shan't be lending mine to my sister again then.
If you ran a business such as a football club and you sold most of your seats up front and gave the tickets cheaper to the people who paid for a season ticket. You would be pissed off, that when you try and sell the rest on a match to match, that the people who you gave a good price were selling a part of their ST at face value, which then takes their market away for selling match day tickets.
People who sell their ST are taking the clubs customers, who would have bought a match day ticket at full price. It not always about paying twice for your seat. There are many seats around the ground on match to match games that remained unsold. I do not think the club are bothered if they sell your seat(because they have already to you). It's the other seats they want to fill and if they stop the market for buying STHs tickets, then people will go through the club.
If they expect every one who would buy a ticket at the ST pro rata rate to go and pay their match by match prices then they're in for a shock. Maybe those extra seats are a waste of time after all!
But they won't because it'll an approx increase in price to the buyer of £15, some will pay that, a lot of others won't. So the club lose the food/drink etc money from having someone in that seat
What difference would that make to the club. The Sth is already including in the attendance, so it would make no difference.
People who really wanted to go, would go and of course it also encourages the sell of STs. It will not go underground if the club clamp down on it. Would you risk giving your ticket to someone else for a few games, if the club said anyone caught doing this would lose their ST.

Er I don't think that applies all or even much of the time. Paying 20 quid is one thing and paying £28 or more PLUS booking fee is another. Just look at all the empty seats we have seen regularly and the sales policy of the club which does not make sense and neither does this.
Person a) gets a ticket via NSC - spends 10 quid at the ground on this, that and the other. Person a) may well decide a full priced ticket is too expensive, the club get squat diddly and we have an empty seat.
What I really want to know is where has this emanated from as if it is the club then on top of everything else this is becoming a joke.
The club are already losing, are they not. If say 1000 sold their ST in a month, surely that is already lost revenue. And as for food, people will still eat and drink and people will still go. If we got into the premiership. I doubt the club would have trouble selling tickets for the like of Man U etc

My wife cannot make evening games, which means I normally have a ticket in ESU which will be wasted.

What about the 1901 club as posted last week
1901 Club costs
"Tickets can be given to anyone you choose without having to inform the club, but if you wish to hold onto the SmartCard then an email to the 1901 rep will get you a barcoded email that you can pass onto your guest to gain entry. (Free service)."

Poor form from the club.
Clubs ticket exchange would work if they released cheaper prices first so we may get to sell out . The way blocks are released does nothing for the ticket exchange.
As some have said. Surely we can just have one thread for tickets wanted. People can then post with a mobile number and we can get round it that way. [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]
