[Albion] Club selling your seat, is this right?

Hugs can be three-way.

So says Ivor Capilin, anyway.

Since our snog in Rome, you never wrote or phoned

Ive posted previously i know a STH doesnt wanna list a ticket because if game doesnt go ahead (postponed abandonded etc) you cant claim.it back. Not sure what the solution is here as I can see both points of view. As far as im aware he hasnt missed a match so far this season but 2 games and a warning seems very harsh.

I completely understand that, but it can largely be mitigated by listing very close to kick-off.

At that point the game is almost certain to go ahead and be played to completion. If the ticket sells, which might be unlikely, he gets some money back. If it doesn't he retains the chance to attend a re-scheduled game should the unlikely happen.

You seem to be forgetting the warm embrace we shared in the ESL concourse earlier this season ahead of a League Cup game.

When was the last game at the Amex to be postponed? And your friend hasn’t missed a match. So the chances of him / her missing a game that is then subsequently postponed seem to be vanishingly small and bordering on ‘Elvis seen in Tesco Express’ territory.

If this is their genuine reason for not listing an unused ticket then they need to get a grip, tbh

Yes its highly unlikely. He is very principled.

Liverpool used to allow families to pass tickets down the line. At one stage they believed they had 26k season ticket holders of which around 500 were in the names of dead people

That’s not being principled, it’s being stupid. First of all, the chances of a game being abandoned or postponed are realistically zero. You then have to factor in the likelihood of it being one of the few games he doesn’t attend + his seat being sold + if sold, the new buyer being willing and able to attend the rearranged fixture + there being no other seats available to buy should your mate decide he really does want to go after all. He’s weighing all that against the benefit of getting the value of his ST seat refunded. I hope he’s not a financial advisor.

Probably a rhetorical question however I can only recall that infamous fog bound Cardiff match midweek.

I think The last game postponed was when the Queen died. Palace (H) in 2022.
The last game postponed for weather was indeed Cardiff in 2016 - just over 8 years ago. I think it’s the only postponed Amex league game for weather.

Unfortunately he went to watch Crawley versus Charlton New Years Day and I got a right earache hearing how he couldve gone to Worthing 3g but thought this be better game only to get in the ground and find it called off 20 mins before ko so yeah it does happen. He is a loaded so not bothered whether gets money back or not. he has a season ticket for QPR so when they clash he picks and chooses what to watch i believe as when I ask in past if he is coming to a game I realize Rangers are also at home. Not sure which he favours though.
