The ability to upgrade season ticket seats to 1901 in real time from your phone has Gone live today. How cool is that ! I’m very impressed with my club.

What does it cost though?
How much do they allocate for the seat you release and what admin fee / margin do they levy?

I think you can relocate to anywhere, not just 1901. The cost is the difference between the cost of the seat you want (at full one-off match price), and cost of your season ticket prorated for one match.
Not sure it will get many takers, but nice to have the option.

There are many other issues the club needs to sort regarding tickets which are far more important than this.

In fairness, that's because kids tickets are CHEAP.
In other news, Arsenal fans able to legally sell on tickets for their match at the Amex. (Relax, it's sold)

Why would you want to leave your ST seat?
I just see this as a gimmick and really just an online version of the licensed seat option that was available during the move to the Amex
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
I know Albion fans in every stand on a match day. If possible, I quite like the idea of being able to swap my seat and sit with someone else for a change for the odd fixture.
Tell me when we have a hot dog train:-
Until then tell me nothing.

Review from a quick 5-minute play...
1. Even though this is all browser-based, there is no desktop version of this. Despite the fact I use my phone a LOT, I always conduct my ticket transactions on my laptop.
2. Even though I was logged into Seagulls Tickets, I then had to login again, with exactly the same details, on the Pogoseat site. Single Sign On isn't just a "nice to have" these days, it's a minimum requirement for solutions like this.
3. For Swansea I was offered a handful of West and East Stand 1901 tickets. However these seats don't seem to be available on the main ticketing site. The main ticketing site has a WSL ticket available for sale, but this wasn't offered to me in Pogoseat. If there are two different pots of inventory for tickets which the club somehow having to manually manage allocating available seats between them, then that feels quite clunky and clumsy.
4. I have a pair of tickets. If I wanted to upgrade them to 1901 I'd want to do both at the same time. Pogoseat doesn't seem to offer this which means if there are two 1901 seats available side by side then you'd need to transact on them individually which would risk someone else taking the second seat ahead of you.
That all said, if I fancied a one off upgrade to 1901, it looks easy enough to do that. Can't see this as being a particularly big use case though, given the other limitations the system and process seems to have.

Are you trying to tell me that normal people and general riff raff can get in 1901 willy nilly ?
Been full of them since day one apparently.
The technology isn’t there yet (gamer meme that I appreciate many may not get but couldn’t resist)So you can use the QR code on your phone on the turnstile for these tickets but you can't for regular tickets that you buy via the website?
