[Albion] Club cancelling ST due to non-attendance

[Creaky]

They are sold on match day and I can’t remember a game when tickets weren’t available.

Sounds good - I'll keep an eye on the situation up to renewal date. Will also.work out the financial implications.

We're NOT fvcking American - a ban should be issued for using this phrase

Some of us are, regrettably

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Apologies if dealt with elsewhere, but if a season ticket seat is shared with a MyAlbion+ member who subsequently doesn’t attend, is the ST holder still credited with using his ticket?

Some of us are, regrettably

Hopes and prayers !

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I understand that but if tickets aren't available on the day of the match then giving up my ST and buying on a game by game basis isn't an option.

Edit: I see your Q has been answered

 

[Weststander]

Point taken, earlier the better for the chance of a sale obviously but think there needs to be a bit of flex in the morning of a match day particularly with kids but saying that 5 times or more probably warrants a discussions with the club for next season eligibility (rather than auto losing it)

I once listed a ticket getting on the coach as eldest didn’t fancy it last minute. To my surprise it had sold within the 30 min drive to the Amex and the seat was already occupied when I got there. To make matters worse he had a Chicken Balti pie (probably the last one as was sold out when I got there, busy ****)

We lucked out in December’s CP derby. I had a stinker of a cold, so put the tickets on the exchange 90 minutes before KO, they sold! Some unlucky bugger splashed out, then watched a car crash.

I went despite my cold, what a double whammy that was

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.

Sigh, how many times? Buy a membership and pick and choose to your heart's content. It’s what a membership is for. Assuming the person only goes occasionally, when the weather's good, they will save money and not have this apparent stress of using the exchange.

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.

Yes I think that is of course an issue I agree, but I think that’s a separate issue the club need to look into, making sure those people are unable to get tickets.

Sigh, how many more times. Even when the weather is good, some people like to sit with family and friends.

I've listed tickets on the exchange on the day of the match and they've been sold

So you want a half-price, guaranteed seat in a specific place, always available, regardless of whether or not you attend. Well tough. Such a deal isn’t available. The club bends over backwards to give you almost exactly what you want but it’s still not good enough for you.

The only option left is to ask for a special full-price season ticket where you agree to pay the standard no-concession, matchday price of the seat x19. With one of those, you have a guaranteed specific seat and you’re free to attend or not.
