Red Ferret Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Taken from a West Ham fan on F365 Ticket Trade In Season ticket holders will have access to the new 'Ticket Trade In' facility. This means that once a fixture has been declared as sold out by the ticket office, any season ticket holders unable to attend that particular fixture will, via the internet, be able to offer his/her seat available for purchase. All seats posted by season ticket holders will immediately appear on the seating plan as available for purchase by other supporters. Once sold the season ticket holder's card would be blocked for that fixture and they would receive a credit against their account which can then be used against either a season ticket renewal or the purchase of a seat for a home cup fixture. In the case of a seat remaining unsold, at an agreed period of time before the fixture the card would be reactivated allowing the season ticket holder the opportunity to attend. Further information on this service will be forwarded to season ticket holders shortly. Do City do anything like this? I havnt heard of it but I'm not a season ticket holder so...

rayer Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Arsenal do this as well. If the ST holder sells their seat for a game online, the cost of this game gets deducted from their next purchase of a season ticket, so they are paying less next year.

Guest Old Dazzler Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Taken from a West Ham fan on F365 Do City do anything like this? I havnt heard of it but I'm not a season ticket holder so... I'm sure they did this in 2004 when games like Plymouth and Bournemouth were sold out in advance, I haven't heard of this being available this season for any of the sell-out games, though. It would get the club an extra bit of money as well as enabling people who can't make it to get some recompense, and more importantly, allow someone to watch the game rather than have a few empty seats.

Guest DanC Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I think with the smart card entry system being introduced this is something that can in the future be implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 It has been done quite a bit more recently than 2004 I think, I'm pretty sure it was towards the end of a season when we were chasing promotion, but slipped into the playoffs (I think).

bh_red Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 once the card process comes in next season, it's going to be alot easier to actually manage a scheme like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
