This has really pisssssssssssed me off. There have been empty seats around me every week and I know people who wanted tickets.......We need a ticket exhange system.

People I know would have paid £30 - £50 for a ticket today......

If people you know were prepared to pay £50 then surely they would have to buy one of a tout.

The issue is more no exchange system, as soon as that is up and running then those that have to miss a game can sell their ticket on in a controlled manor as opposed to hand over their smart card which I guess they do not want to do.

I agree,even without a ticket exchange STH`s can lend there cards to family and friends when they cannot attend a game, as those around me in the N stand seem to be doing, as the faces are not the same week in week out

Are season ticket holders that dont show included in the attendence,if they are not then that would cause confusion and upset for fans wanting tickets.So far not a home sell out,or has there been, very confusing.

Posted before, posting again. Reckon STH should start the season with a full season's loyalty points. Then lose loyalty points for every game the seat stands empty. It's the only way they'll learn...

This happens at Chelsea,friend of mine lent his season ticket to family when he went away for xmas,they didn't bother to go and he lost loyalty points and couldn't go to away/european games.I think we should perhaps reward people that turn up week in week out.

Holidays, illnesses? Loads of reasons.

Agree-perhaps when the Holidays are over the number of no shows will drop,that said calls for an exchange system does carry some weight.

Agreed , although I'm abit surprised that there were apparently 2,000 empty seats in our bit - ok I could only see and judge the east and west stand , probably at MOST 600 dotted around the West and a 100 MAX in the East

I have been to every home League game and ther are 3 seats in front no one has EVER sat in and two behind. One bloke on the bus said no one has ever sat next to him!

We need an exchange system published in program/Argus classified or something as some people aren't on the internet like us, wjho would do it online! Maybe they don't know about NSC??

Top Post Tom.
This would weed out all the JCL's who only come to the 'Big Games'. These kind of people will show up for Liverpool next month...!!

If I could not go to a game then I would lend my card to family, friend, neighbour, anyone! I hate seeing empty seats.

One, maybe two seats in the N1A were empty for the following reasons: I am infact on holiday. I gave my ticket to my mate who i sit next to and his mum passed away this week. If he took his friend to the game on my ticket today i don't know but i really doubt his first priority is going to be to sort out 2 new people to go to a game after his mother died.

If he lost loyalty points for that, i'd flip out.

Thing is, people who can't be added to give their ticket away probably wouldn't give a toss about a ticket exchange or points.

This. There are multitudes of reasons, the same as why haven't these that miss out not got ST's? They maybe have valid reasons too.
