I think it means that Only current MyAlbion+ Members can take over a season ticket holders seat. The season ticket holder giving up their seat must follow the instructions in the ‘Cancellation of Auto-Renewal’ section above and nominate the MyAlbion+ member with their full details in the cancellation process. Seat takeovers can only be applied for if joining a group of known friends/family.
I tend to agree. You buy a ST, and stick to your side of the bargain by going to all/most games.I'm starting to feel like I'm in a minority in that I just buy a ST and turn up to most matches
Me too. We are a rare breedI'm starting to feel like I'm in a minority in that I just buy a ST and turn up to most matches
I know seems like crazy concept doesn’t itI'm starting to feel like I'm in a minority in that I just buy a ST and turn up to most matches

I think people’s opinions here are slightly at odds with the atmosphere debate. If we want to improve the atmosphere, making sure the seats and as many people as possible are in the stadium.All this "dog ate my homework" stuff...
How would your 20-year-old selfs feel about not getting a season ticket because someone wants it as a trophy and will only attend the odd game when all the stars are aligned perfectly?
"The club wants people to go the games rather than buy into my dozen bad excuses for not going to games! They're evil!"
With the progress this club has made in the last 10 years there's probably a million or more people all over the world (such as me) who has "watching Brighton at the Amex" as one of the greatest dreams and plans in their life. Its really provoking reading all the "I want my season ticket but I don't want to use it" bollocks. Seems a good move from the club to get rid of ST holders who always finds some excuse not to go or not make their ticket available to someone else.
Maybe this is me misunderstanding some cultural aspect or whatever but it sounds like people want this to be some American sport where some fat millionaire buys a chair for a 100 years just to pop in twice a year when he feels like it.
but calling it spot on tbh.
Just for once I’m inclined to disagree with you Jack. I’d say that more numbers doesn’t necessarily lead to an improved atmosphere. Filling empty seats with arguably less partisan fans can actually stifle the atmosphere. Take Liverpool away this season, or Man City at home during Covid, as examples.
I think what @pigmanovich means is that if it became impossible to find the day pleasurable because of the pain and distress associated with getting to and from a game, then.... (you should be able to work out the rest).
You must be one of those 'lickers' I used to read so much aboutI'm starting to feel like I'm in a minority in that I just buy a ST and turn up to most matches
We have many ST holders that aren't partisan fans, and many non ST holders that only occasionally attend that are. Not really sure you can argue either way that an ST seat re-sold is going to be any more or any less likely to go to a fan who might add to the atmosphere.
Well, that's for the person concerned to decide. My concern is for the people who are still fit enough to find the day pleasurable on some occasions but not fit enough to find it pleasurable on others, so make a game day decision. If they're felling well on a sunny spring day, they go' if they're feeling rotten on a slushy winter day, they don't. Most of us will get to that stage, in time. It's part of the ageing process.
Indeed.
Wouldnt be surprised if both the 25% personally attending and 75% occupied / exchanged rates both apply next season and the former is in the terms and conditions (will need to see 25/26 when they come out)
Unbelievable but typical of someone who knows precious littleAll this "dog ate my homework" stuff...

There’s already a link on the website but it’s duff.
So that last minute decision could happen 5 times without it being an issue for them. The wording clearly allows the club to have some discretion in this area as it states 'you may not be able to renew your ST' (if you haven't listed your seat for 5 or more games.) So for people with a medical issue I'm pretty sure if reported to the club would be fine.
