[Albion] Amex Seat Swap 2021/2022

[Hugo Rune]

By giving the fans the chance to change ownership of their season ticket, the opportunity to swap seats is clearly on the table. This could be an incredible opportunity for many fans. I’m wondering if NSC could be a platform to link swappers up?

“Chance To Take Over Season Ticket Ownership for 2021/22

Following a very unusual season we are allowing supporters to change the names on season tickets and take over a season ticket holder’s seat. This is only for the 2021/22 season and will not be offered for future seasons, so please use this opportunity wisely. Step Guide:

1. The season ticket holder who wants to transfer their seat to a new occupant must login online and complete the online cancellation before 5pm on Thursday 29 April.
2. The person ‘taking over’ the seat must be either a 2020/21 MyAlbion+ member or a renewed season ticket holder with a registered fan number at tickets.brightonandhovealbion.com. If they are none of these, then the new occupant must set themselves up with a fan number at tickets.brightonandhovealbion.comand a £20 take-over fee will be charged to the new occupant.
3. When completing the online cancellation survey, the current season ticket holder must indicate the seat is to be ‘taken over’ and provide the fan number, name and email of the person taking over the seat.
4. The new occupant will be emailed with the reserved season ticket information and will be prompted to login and purchase the season ticket online. This must be done no later than 5pm on Thursday 6 May.
5. The club accepts no liability if incorrect details are provided for the new occupant, if the new occupant’s email address is incorrect or if the purchase is not completed by the required date.”

I’d be up for that . I have a1901 seat with lifetime membership I want to swap for a general seat

Is this transfer permanent or just for the season. That's not clear to me.

Permanent. It's a one off chance. Miss it and there is no indication that it will be allowed again.

 

[virgs]

Definitely permanent ... just checked with club . The website is ambiguous
As to whether the amnesty is limited to just next season or the transfer of the seat .

So are you suggesting we set up a 'swap shop' on here ?

As a 1901 Club member I think you will find under point 2 above you are neither a 2020/21 My Albion + member nor a renewed season ticket holder. Apparently a 1901 season ticket holder is treated differently to a general admission season ticket holder. It doesn't matter how many years you have held a season ticket or how many loyalty points you have. As a 1901 season ticket holder you only have the right to renew your 1901 season ticket. Suggest you confirm this with the Club.

I have checked it with the club ... via Mr Barber ... and if the 1901 seat is in an individuals name then you can give it up and move to a general seat and take your loyalty points with you.
Supporter services have confirmed that the £20 fee is not applied but a£50 fee is due to the the club for registering the new owner of the 1901 seat.
Where’s the problem ?

Posh paws?

Yes.

Via PM obviously once an opportunity has been advertised.

I’m guessing that a number of people would like to move, it’s about linking them up.

 

[virgs]

To work properly it would need to be promoted to its own section of the site.
Just like the outlawed ticket exchange.
It could be popular - and legitimate?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Mrs T, who is an internet genius, has failed to register herself or make any headway in our attempts to put 4 people on our ticket 'team'. Looks like a phone call may be required.
