Yes, it seems likely that making a successful claim will be difficult and in the current economic climate I’d have thought take-up would be low. So whatever the commission payments are I can’t believe the club will earn much from this, so I don’t know why they’re risking reputational damage from offering this product.Looks like it just about covers your car breaking down on the way to a game (may be useful for those that travel a long way) or anyone unfortunate enough to get a serious illness that stops them going to a lot of games…..other than that there is so much wriggle room they’ll hardly pay out for anything
Third party product….wonder what commission the club are making?

You may be right, I just think the insurance sector is so tainted by numerous mis-selling scandals I don’t know why the club bothers with it.Won’t be much damage………it’s an option they’ve provided that possibly suits a small % of STHs but it’s not been heavily promoted and may benefit a few. Maybe the commission is minimal and they simply see it as useful to some - it’s only an extension of the bookimg protection policy that’s offered every time you buy a ticket on the website anyway (including away tickets)

Pretty sure my doctor has got better things to do with his time than issue me with a report saying I don't fancy going to football because I've got a bit of a cold
Perhaps something for our FAB members to raise at the first meeting.
You will be asked to provide • a death certificate where your refund
request is for death;
They might be suspicious if you turn up with your own death certificate !!
Agree with everyone else...complete waste of money !!!
Firstly, I would suspect this is a scheme that's being pushed by the EPL rather than just Brighton.
My concern would be that this is a scheme that clubs/EPL would use to avoid losing out by refunding season tickets in the event of another lockdown and behind closed doors matches! ie, rather than the clubs bearing this cost, they would be passing it on to supporters and/or insurance companies. I might be barking up the wrong tree but it does seem that the cover is very restrictive and very onerous on the proof of claim. For example, if you get covid, you're not going to get a Doctors report (for which they'll charge), just a positive LFT!
If you do have to get a doctors report then I suspect that cost is about £20 and it hardly becomes worth claiming for what I assume would be the pro rata cost of your ticket!
