I'd have thought it unlikely to get one through NSC at that point, too. I certainly wouldn't be on NSC an hour before kick off if I wasn't able to go to the game, and certainly wouldn't be able to get my ticket to someone else at that point.

Silly old bat
I thought that you could ring the ticket office up to an hour before kick off (assuming you can get through) buy a ticket, have it confirmed on your mobile, use the confirmation to travel to the Amex, and pick up a ticket at one of the booths set aside for that purpose?
Almost. On the standard trains and buses you can't use anything other than a match ticket as a travel voucher. The P&R buses however will accept proof of purchase as permission to travel.
Feel free to give out your number then, you will get endless texts advertising such as PPI and have you had an accident. Then it can always be put up in toilets advertising for man on websites it's endless really, as well as crank calls, yes you can let it go to voice mail. I had a friend who put their number online, they had to get a new SIM card. You would be surprised how many calls you can get in a day. So one put an advert for a free flat screen TV to collector, they had over 40 calls in one day for that one. But that's ok let voice mail spend all day answering your phone.
I already have in this thread and have on many other forums and I don't get that many crank calls. It's hardly an effort to let it go to VM and ring back if it's someone you wish to speak to.
So, I'll repeat, if anyone has spare tickets for any midweek evening games they want to dispose of then get hold of me on 07971 169553 - stuff the law and Paul Barber !
I sometimes have midweek tickets available. Your number noted!

Would not be so bad if the club resold retuned tickets by season ticket holders 1st , rather than selling the less desireables , with a 30k stadium not far off i cant see it selling out too many times during a season in the championship.
Whoever and whatever caused the nsc ticket exchange to close the club should respond in a positive way and agree to sell returned tickets by season ticket holders first so they at least re-coup some of the money , a lot of things have happend over the past few weeks that have upset quite a few supporters (customers) perhaps this is a chance for the club to do the right thing concerning returned tickets .
For what its worth i cant recall seeing a ticket up for sale on the nsc exchange for over the set price and found it a great way to shift my ticket if i could not make a game , shame its gone but im sure people will find a way around it if the club continue with its current policy of holding back returns .

Can we not have a 'Pen Exchange', where you advertise the sale of a pen for say a fixed rate of £20 and each pen that you sell includes a match ticket?

"I would like to spend some time in the vicinity of Falmer pond next Saturday from around 3 o'clock. If there is anybody who usually goes to the vicinity of Falmer pond on Saturday afternoons but can't make it this weekend - can I borrow your deckchair?"
It is illegal to advertise tickets for sale, but it is not illegal to ask on the ticket exchange if anyone has a spare ticket. If someone replies via a PM then I don't think the law will have been broken.

Re: Closure of NSC ticket exchange
Of course they have. They've completed a criminal act through someone Selling on their ticket. The difference is that the agreement will take place in private and so is undetectable. The fact remains though that NSC will have been used to exchange tickets, just in a remarkably clumsy and farcical way.

Nope, though I think we can assume it was the club given the lack of a denial.
Message to insider maybe..

Fair enough, what I (clumsily) was trying to say that NSC is not guilty of committing the crime, no more than the telephone company is for the call that seals the deal.........I think.

Please could somebody tell me unequivocally, yes or no, is it illegal to give my ticket, that's in my name, to a friend or relative, for zero pounds / zilch pennies?
