[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!

Re your 3rd point, I think the receiving member has to be paid-up Albion+ before you can share your ticket with them.

Thanks for clarifying I wasn't sure.

That's the point that annoys me the most in all of it. Everything else I can live with begrudgingly.

Likewise. See #57

Then again, if it was free the BHA database - and the seats - would get filled with even more non-Albion fans.

Is that right though? I thought they only sold TE tickets at adult pricing? So in theory the club makes more from them than other tickets, even with the refund?

That certainly used to be the case but haven't the club recently changed that? I'm sure someone posted an image on here in the last few days of TE tickets being available for discounted categories.

I stand to be corrected though.

The ticket website still says adult only for the Fulham game as the exchange is open for that match.

I think 'favour' tells the story here, and probably explains the misguided entitlement.

Tell me, have YOU paid to watch a one-off match somewhere else recently?

And have you looked at prices of other Premier League season tickets, especially in London?

I certainly think London games are completly different. 100s of thousands of visitors every day that will be interested in going to games. Apart from odd game in Germany I only watch Albion games. I have business contacts in many parts of UK and attend several away Albion games as a guest (not hospitality ) of a home ST holder who always seem to be able to pass on an unused ST from there circle. Something I am unable to return the favour when there sides comes to Amex.
I have watched Albion twice at West Ham with a ST holder who has 2 tickets one in his name and one in his mothers who never attends and he takes a different person each game.

Only one off games i go to are in Germany when visiting.
As I have many business cintacts round the country see many away Albion games as a guest of these people. Not in hospitality. I always have use of someones ST that didnt go. Unfortunatly unable to return favour at Amex. I know a West Ham ST holder who has 2 STs and takes a different person to each game

This is what I saw posted on here the other day (posts #192 to #195) suggesting concession tickets on the exchange are available at a concession rate.

Lots of blocks available now apart from the North

That is bizarre - sudden availability across the whole West and East Upper. With no TE, where have they all come from? Bit pointless so close to kick off.

I’ve never seen any marked with a star (possibly a family stand thing?) My mate has put his sons ticket on for tonight’s game but I can’t check as the exchange obviously isn’t open.

I think the club has tickets for staff etc and release them at the last minute, shame they couldn’t have put them up a bit earlier.

Yeah, I meant have you compared prices of season tickets (to London clubs), or for one-off games?

You think you're doing the club a massive favour paying for a season ticket 'in advance' (actually just a few weeks in advance), so you should set the rules of what you do with your ticket.

I'd say, we get pretty good deal compared to many (and the luxury of interest-free payments, of course) so it's mutually beneficial.

This season's cheapest adult prices (and rises):

1	Arsenal	+10.2%	£1,073
2	Tottenham	+6.1%	£856
3	Chelsea	+8%	£810
4	Liverpool	+2%	£713
5	Newcastle United	+10.3%	£662
6	Aston Villa	+4.9%	£640
7	Bournemouth	+7.3%	£633
8	Fulham	+4%	£619
9	Brighton	+5.3%	£595
10	Manchester United	+3.6%	£579

(And Albion's concessions are much better than many)

Meanwhile, the cheapest one-off adult ticket for AFC Wimbledon v Bromley - in League Two - this weekend is £34.

That's roughly what Albion v Bournemouth is costing me tonight - two teams in the Premier League chasing Euro places. Bargain.

As for your West Ham mate, if the club aren't aware of who's in the seat, he's breaking the club's T&Cs, new Premier League rules and (probably) the law - just the same as at the Albion.
