Ridiculous idea, how can you have a system where Sky determine when you play. In the Championship my season was fine as a majority of games were on a Saturday, but in the Prem, how many games have we had on a Saturday, not many?

I’m just a gold member seasoner now for that reason alone. I remember one game we were playing Spurs on a Tuesday night and I’m rushing to get to the game, I enter the M25 and there is an accident I have to listen to the game on the radio. That did it for me as the game was supposed to be on a Saturday, but sky switched it to a Tuesday.

My mate said this to me, although no one sits in my seat according to him, maybe the seat does sell but they either don’t turn up or they sit elsewhere

Isn't all this just about money in the end? As you posted, you get back £26 per match you don't attend, that is the ST match price. The club then re-sell same ticket at normal matchday price eg: £40. Now i've never used the system, but, doesn't the new buyer have to pay a fee on top of the matchday price?

How/why would the club penalise their supporters for not turning up to matches & why would they then penalise them for not re-selling their ticket? CAN the club actually impose such measures?

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Too many people and organisations trying to dictate what you can and can’t do. It’s my ticket and I’ll come and go, fill or leave empty as I please.

I’m sure they won’t bring in such a stupid rule though.

Interesting topic. I support the idea.

A mate of mine is a lifelong Chelsea season ticket holder. The only games he attends are the the big ones (ie City/Liverpool) and sells his ticket for 90% of matches.

His situation puts him front of the queue for Champions League away tickets and finals etc… which he of course snaps up every time. There are people on this forum who appear to sell their ticket every week, no doubt doing the same thing (no big games for us though!)

Tickets should be rewarded based on the loyalty system. This prevents people from cheating the system.

TV moving the games to midweek & train strikes have both been challenging, I still travel overseas midweek quite a lot (often at short notice) & haven't utilised the clubs sell back option -

I havent posted the ticket on here either because I worry that if I send over the screenshot of the ticket in the smartphone wallet with the QR code it wont work for the buyer, ( especially with the club sending out ticket updates just 3 hours before the kick off) the last thing I want is someone having difficulties outside the ground -

For sure if the club introduced something as being described I will be much more active in making my ticket available through their resell system if I know in advance that I am not going to make it to a game.
