How about every time you release a ticket you get an entry into an end of season draw for, eg your ST free next season or something you can't buy, like a corporate day for two in the boardroom (like they offered a few years back).  It would be a one-off cost to the club, spread out over the whole season, and not too expensive.

If the club wanted a few brownie points by donating a proportion of any re-sales to charity that would be the icing on the cake.

Quoted from diehardmariner
I think he means a scenario in which come mid-February we're in no mans land in the table, not going up nor going down.  Nothing to play for effectively.  

If the option is there to flog your ticket back to the club, for whatever price..let's just say a fiver, a lot of people may take it up.  Club are unlikely to resell that extra generated seat and are effectively financially down to the tune of £5.

Of course there would have to be a clause that you only get a refund/return if the ticket is resold.


But surely you only get the fiver if the ticket is re-sold to another punter.

That's the scenario I've been envisioning.

For anyone that did get a standby seat and did not receive any contact from the club , they have just put a tweet out - they did not get chance to contact everyone so have allocated their seats and they are ready for collection from the club shop if required .

Looks like they have released all remaining seats for sale now , as there are about 40 more available in The Findus and Pontoon ; roughly 80 in total .

Bail out how?

They've already bought their season ticket.

By my reckoning we must be close to 6k sold , there are only around 550 seats available in all stands (majority in the main and restricted) .

Unless capacity of the home stands is now lower than 6700 ?

Surely it's a win/win situation for the club if they can sell a few seats twice surprised we aren't already doing this with the lack of decent seats available.. fiver for each ticket re-sold for an adult ticket..

you need to deduct the Executive block in the Upper from the 6.7k. About 400? If so 5750 sold - almost identical to last year.

I think there should be someone in front of each stand with a clipboard keeping a register of who is in. If you can’t make it, then the club will need a note from your parents saying why

How convenient   To be fair that's a great way to get those hard to shift restricted view seats allocated

Don’t have Twitter but the corresponding club website announcement doesn’t use the phrase ‘did not get chance to contact everyone’ and did not say tickets are ready for collection ‘if required’’ If there was a tweet using those words given that these people have already paid for their seats someone needs to look for another job
