[Albion] Is there a delay until a ticket shows up on the Ticket Exchange?

[sebyo]

Hi there, new member on the forum, and new brightonian (just over two years).

I got a regular ticket + a guest ticket for the Arsenal game, but need to assign the guest ticket to someone else as the original person can't come.

If I understand correctly, I need to release that guest ticket on the ticket exchange, and then immediately try and snap it up. So my question is: is there a delay from the moment I release that guest ticket until it shows up? Basically am I going to release it and then it'll show up randomly a few hours later and someone else will take it?

And bonus points, am I actually going to be able to get that ticket with my same account since I've just released it, is it going to force me to recall the ticket release?

Thank you in advance!

If the exchange is open, ie the club have sold out (or just about sold out) of their own seats, then a ticket listed on the exchange will appear immediately.

FWIW I don't know of anyone who's had the name of a ticket checked at a home game

Thank you both! Old name is a woman's name, new name man's name hence why I'm a bit wary.

But is it worth the x game ban?

It’s a brave new world where gender is less specific

Oh I really wouldn't bother in that case. It's a guest ticket, you can assign it to anyone you like. You just scan in when you arrive, no one will look at the ticket on your phone if it's a full priced adult ticket

As long as the new ticket owner identifies as a woman then due to wokeness the club will be fine.

I decided to bounce this rather than start a new thread but surprised to see that ticket exchange for Bournemouth hasn't kicked in yet. There are still around 140 general tickets and 120 lounge tickets available which hopefully people will make a dent in today after the last 3 games.

It does feel, to me at least, as though we've reached a tipping point with the frustrations with travel for evening games, and more people simply can't be arsed with the hassle, whether you regard that to be real or perceived.

I added up the Chelsea tickets available just before kick-off because, bad fan alert, I wasn't able to go, and there were over 4,000 exchange tickets sitting unsold.

That simply wouldn't have happened before.

Why not buy the nearest ticket and sit in the vacant seat ? One of our group has done that recently

an expensive possibility although none available in west stand lower !!

I’m looking to go tomorrow night but mainly lounge tickets and by the away end left. Looking to pick up a single in the North, if the exchange opens reckon there will be about 5000 available so would be able to pick where I want. If not debating trying a lounge for the first time but not sure it is worth the money.

enable ticket sharing and transfer it across, it’s free first time

Does the recipient have to be a *PAID* member to do that?

I must admit it all feels so complicated now, I can't remember.

already done my freebie....can`t warrant making him my Albion then paying to share. If exchange doesn`t open ... seat will be empty.

I’ve got a friend (general football fan) who wants to join me in the north stand tomorrow for a social but it’s sold out. We’re waiting for ticket exchange to open but he wont be going if TE doesn’t open. Surely with less than 48 hours to go just open it up?

Hopefully the exchange will open, I’m after another WSU ticket.
