a way for STH 'spares' to be sold..

reading about the Forest ticket fever (sorry, in training for the works newsletter..),

i thought of an easier(?) way for people to get a ticket for a game, by bidding for unwanted STH seats..

eg- say a week before any given match, any STH's who cant make it to a game, let the club (or NSC?) know, and pre-registered bidders get a text/email, with sumamry of tix available.

anyone wanting a spare seat in stand F day, sends a text BID A 15 (amount in pounds) to xxxx. highest bid gets a message toi show a the BHA shop, and pckup/pay for the tix,,

or setup a direct debit, costs getstaken from bank a/c, and thn pickup at the match, or go thru a 'winners' turnstile where ID and winners text is checked agaisnt the ctual bid made (to stop fakers)

This kinda already happens to some extent
If a season ticket holder knows they arent going to make the game in advance, they sometimes ring the ticket office, and that seat goes up for general sale

I've manage to benefit from this sort of thing for the palace home game when we thrashed them 0-0 at home, when i got a ticket for a friend when it was sold out

Whenever Ned's shifts clash with a game I let Nsc know and someone usually takes it. I used to be able to sell them but have given them away free recently.

Once the bid goes over the face value ( which for certain games it inevitably will) it becomes touting, nice idea in principle though.

Can't he switch from delivering the Argus to a morning paper?

Lil coach's season ticket will be unused this week, cos he's sitting in the family stand with all his footie club friends - but it's a kids ticket unfortunately.

You can upgrade them to an adult one. Or just take a chance that you won't get stopped at the turnstile.

meant to add that I would think most people would be bidding less than the normal 'face' value for any given stand..

though times must be hard if any touts are dealing in BHA tix!
