Why do people go on the Ticket exchange asking for tickets when there still left at the club shop ?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Can someone help me with this ?

because tickets are still available to buy from the club shop ?

I would guess they want to get them cheaper than the current face value of the ticket, or maybe a better position than what's available to buy online.

some people might not be able to get to the club shop beacuse of work commitments, maybe??

(a) because the tickets are likely to be cheaper than buying from the shop and (b) because they are likely to be in a better position.
Bit tough on the club, though, who miss out on selling a ticket

Why do people buy second hand cars when there are plenty of decent new ones, why do people eat at little chef when there's the Ritz?

Perhaps when they see who is selling their spare ticket they want to be certain that they are no-where near that person.

my mates not a glory fan but wants to go tonight hes been to a couple of away games with me but his not on the database nightmareeee
To get on the database you need to have bought a ticket via the club shop before. For the big games where a sell-out is expected, only people on the database (i.e. people that have bought tickets before) can get tickets.
It stops away fans from getting tickets in the home end, and also stops people that have never been to a home game at Withdean getting tickets for a big match at the expense of people that have been to Withdean before.

Sorry disagree. For the Norwich game where they had the same policy. It wasn't even close to selling out and lots of 'new'/neutral people who wanted tickets couldn't get them.
This really needs addressing before Falmer.
Fair enough - I was just reminded of the binfests that occured on here before the Man City game, where people that had never been to Withdean were complaining about not being able to buy a ticket.
My point about away fans in the home end still stands though - it is a bit like Villa not selling tickets to 'first timers' for our game earlier this season.
zzzz
