[Albion] Brilliant Ticket Share Scheme (as used by Spurs)

[Change at Barnham]

Following on from the 'No More Season Tickets' thread, I felt this subject was worthy of its own thread.

Spurs offer a facility for season ticket holders to transfer their match ticket to any one of twenty nominated friends and family who just need to register their details and obtain a reference number, allowing the club to know who is in attendance.

This would overcome our current situation at Brighton where we are left out of pocket with an used season ticket if we can't attend.

It seems a very sensible solution and I hope the club are able to consider introducing something similar at the Amex.

On the face of it . . . l agree.

Twenty? Whilst I agree with the principle of the idea twenty seems high.

Absolutely. If you buy something and decide to let someone else have it, then that should be up to you. As for reselling, well the difference can be if passing on the season ticket is at face value (agree its difficult to prove) and you know that person. One simple solution would be for the season ticket holders to give the names of people they might pass the ticket onto to the club, or something along those lines.

Think this is a great idea and would love to see us do something similar. 20 is very generous, would be happy even to just have say 5 or 6 people listed.

You haven’t got twenty friends

How many friends to they think I have?

I guess there's no particular reason to have an upper limit at all really. As long as they sell the same number of tickets in total, the more people you can add the better the chance of actually filling the empty seats.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I'm sure most people would only need to have 4 or 5 friends and family listed.
However, having a higher number (20) provides greater flexibility and shows that Spurs are happy to help their season ticket holders overcome any problem of being stuck with an unused season ticket.

I would guess that a reply from Paul Barber would say that our current ticket office software would be unable to facilitate this. I believe Spurs ticketing site is run by software provided by Ticketmaster.
I'm sure if Brighton wanted to offer the same facility to its season ticket holders that it could be achieved with some new software.

Linked, Arsenal are doing a season ticket amnesty, where you can change the details of the season ticket owner. Lots of people permanently lending their season ticket

Always find it amusing that, as I understand, a significant portion of Liverpool's season tickets are notionally held by people who are either dead or in their late dotage.

Excellent scheme. The owner of a ticket should have the right to decide who uses it. Twenty people for 19 home matches sounds a little excessive though.

 

[Diablo]

Is it necessary ? don`t most let others use their season ticket when they can`t go. As a family we have three but it is rare the three named on ticket go. Normally two + friend or family member.

Crikey. That’s two things we have agreed on now!

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I think it sounds interesting - but I don’t have any friends!!

 

[studio150]

PB accepts to implement this scheme for Albion fans, with one slight change. For each friend (up to 20) added the cost of your season ticket is increased by £20.

I could become your friend if it means that I get materialistic advantages.

Totally using that line next time I'm able to go to the pub.

Why wouldn’t you put your unused ticket on the ticket exchange?

I think it only actually goes on sale once the game sells out, or about a day before the game starts. The one season I had a season ticket I'd guess I had about a 50% success rate with the ticket exchange.

Strictly speaking, this is against the law. But yes, literally thousands of people do this on a regular basis over the course of the season. The club turn a blind eye as long as people don’t get ejected or sell their tickets on the open market.
