Not seen such Bravery!
Make sure you save enough battery for your travel on the train journey home !
Think the club will realise what a ball ache the smartphone thing is when lots of people either a) run out of battery or b) get a phone fault and it packs up on them. I guess they’ll just send them to the ticket office but as cards were working fine, it does seem a bit silly.

Didn't the club once say about 10% of season ticket holders don't renew each year, for whatever reason. Presumably some die, some move away and some can't justify the expense. Likely to be a higher percentage this time round due to covid I guess.
I know this won't apply for the majority of people but I hadn't noticed this clause within the season ticket terms and conditions before:
"3.8. The Club reserves the right to refuse to let you renew your Season Ticket (or cancel your auto-renewal), in the event the Season Ticket is used by the Season Ticket Holder for less than 25% of the Matches."
Not sure if this might affect some of our overseas STH's?
Yes I saw this last night.....
Question : You pay the £20 and 'share your ST' for > 25% matches, but the named holder him/herself doesn't attend the minimum 25% (because of university, sabbaticals, living away, travel (!) etc). Will that mean that the ST renewal will be turned down by the Club?
As always sneaky practice ruins something for everyone else.I suspect there is a very specific use (or non-use) case being targeted with this rule.
The price of a season ticket for the very youngest age category will be seen as a modest outlay for some, particularly when spread across direct debit payments. This permits some to buy a ST for a youngster that may or may not exist in order to bring a mate along now and again, likely when the "big clubs" visit. Other than that, the ticket may go un-used.

Note to self: add power cable to list of matchday essentials
They will be on the new list of banned items that is coming for the new season

Could see a few doing that but an U10 ticket at say £185 (plus £20), upgrade it maybe 6 times a season at say £30 per game - 6 games would be averaging over £60 each. Might as well just get a season ticket holder's guest ticket.........usually plenty available. I suppose you'd basically be paying £200 to secure a seat next to your own in case of need...........
I have never been clear on whether successfully selling a ticket on the exchange still incurs a non-attendance black mark on the season ticket.Season Ticket Sharing
I would have thought they would have needed to state 'the ST holder will still need to attend 25% of the games' for that T&C to override the share your ticket arrangement. While this is in place, my understanding would be, as long as the seat is occupied for more than 25% by appropriate persons through Share your Ticket or Upgrading x 6, then the 25% rule won't apply.
Coming to this a bit late today so can I check my understanding a) I can change the name on my (adult) sons ST to another member of the family who is more likely to be able to attend games than him b) Others in the family can join the MyAlbion scheme for £20 and then that second ST can be shared between them at no additional cost on a game by game basis c) This only starts once the ground is fully open, until then the ballot system will apply d) we get a renewals pack in the post with all of this info as per previous years. Is this the gist of it? If so, seems an excellent plan by the club.
