Yeah, we did that when we were STH. Our daughter bought a ST as close as she could to us but often sat in the free seat behind. TBF it was owned by a bloke who sat just along and occasionally used it for guests. Eventually he didn’t renew it and our daughter switched to that seat.
There is one other seat near us that sometimes comes on the exchange so if I was organised, yes I could in theory. Everyone else is pretty regular which makes it a good place to sit but not introduce newbies. I should probably coordinate with my mate as his sons are at Uni so might not come every week going forward.
I’m guessing a few people haven’t read it properly. I’ve had to miss a lot of games this season but always list my ticket. So I’d be fine.
Yes, indeed, there is no accommodation for shit-housery
Did that once - wanted two guest tickets, closest I could get to our own seats at the N end of WSL was in the SWC (benefit at least of using the same concourse and able to move). Messages exchanged as the game was about to start, seats next to our usual ones were empty so we all sat together.
yes we got the letter once
In principle i can agree BUT (isnt there always one) if you put a ticket up on the thingy for sale and then the game doesnt go ahead for whatever reason (CP example) and you then want to go unless the option goes back to you - you lose out and i think that puts some ppl off putting seats up on the exchange - there are so many reasons ppl cant make it originally covid now fixture changes i can understand why we will never have a completely full stadium - and in aforementioned seems harsh to penalise fans
I completely get that it is hassle. Though why some ppl throw good money away unnecessarily (stopping others attending matches in the process) is questionable maybe we have a rich fan base that can afford to do that
If the individual can’t make it for whatever reason, by listing the ticket on the exchange there’s no issue for them?
Just wait until the date/time is confirmed then list. Games are virtually never re-arranged at short notice. TV schedules are released in advance. Palace has been changed with over 3 weeks to spare. If you are still worried then list tickets shortly before kick off on match day.
You’ve misunderstood the scheme.
They’ve got an exchange. This is aimed at people that don’t attend and don’t list their tickets on the exchange so leaving their seats empty.
The thread title is very misleading and actually factually incorrect. There is a queue of people misunderstanding Brentford’s scheme, much though we would like them to read the details or at least the posts on here…We could cover this in shifts but I go to bed quite early so can you cover for the next 12 hours ?
The Brentford scheme is only if you don’t attend and don’t list it for resale. If you miss a game but list it for resale you are fine.
