Who said they threatened NSC and who said they are the law. As far as I am aware they asked for the facility to be removed. And one point which I again make. THEY are not legally bound to let you enter the ground even if you have a ticket.buying a ticket does not give you any right to entry. I really can not see what the fuss is about, they have not said to me or to anyone else on here, that you can not give or sale your ticket to anyone else. Has anybody been told that, please say if you have. All people have to do is wait for someone to ask for a ticket, or use a network of friends.

Really agree with this. I'm no revolutionary, a mild mannerred conservative leaning civil servant but it really pisses me off when companies abuse the power they have.

If I was looking for 3 tickets for Watford, is the Seagulls website my only option in getting tickets?
Re: Closure of NSC ticket exchange
If you were looking for two in WSU I may know an alternative.

This wouldn't be a problem for me if they didn't make the official ticket exchange so intentionally useless.

So if my friend was sniffing around for a spare for tomorrow, preferably but not necessarily in the WSU, how would my friend best go about that? Obviously this friend is a very bad criminal in the first place for even contemplating helping out a fellow Brighton fan with a spare.
So finally an answer from the club ( sadly not from [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] ) - I get some of the points but it still feels somewhat "like it or lump it" rather than true fan engagement ( despite what Insider - or should that be Paul Barber - says ). So I'd still urge people to break the law !!!!!

Unfortunately this only reinforces my believe that bozza has rolled over on this. "Un-supportive" is a long way from seeking to shut down.
It's a great pity that bozza won't comment on this issue.
Having links with the club can be good for NSC but is this a case of NSC becoming too close.

Indeed, you'd struggle to separate them on this issue.
Disagree, if you were threatened with a banning order I bet you would have done the same.
NSC is unique in the sense that we do allow the club to comment on issues via ATC, and we all know that Insider reads the board and occasionally posts on the main board too.
At the same time NSC is 100% independent of the club, and will never roll over. At times you have to pick your battles, and legal threats are those where it is best to back down.
You will notice that the Ticket Exchange forum still exists, but has had to be changed to keep within the law, or face legal sanctions. It is disappointing that the club has taken such a bullying approach IMO, when a more informal one would have resolved the issue and left a less bad taste in the mouth.
I would have thought anyone could challenge this if they wanted to, I do not think anyone has rolled over. I would rather be a fan inside the ground and lobbying for change. Rather then a banned one. I believe that only 20/30 people used this most weeks out of 24,000 odd STH, so not really worth losing your ST over. I sometimes think people have to pick and choose battles or what you wish for. The club will want to make the most revenue. They could except that this happens, therefore they may increase the cost of a ST to make it not worthwhile, or they may clamp down on everyone else who share their STs, which I would think is a lot higher then the 20 odd who use this forum

Well this is annoying. As a consequence, I'll most likely not be renewing my season ticket unless work commitments change, and I doubt I'll buy many single tickets at £30+ for poor seats.
My season ticket for the rest of the season is also now for sale. PM if interested.

Re: Closure of NSC ticket exchange
Is that a confirmation that the club threatened to ban bozza unless he closed or modified the exchange?
