If you can't make the game you should be able to sell your tickets on an exchange to other fans, you get back your pro-rata amount and the club keeps the difference. This would be a win-win, but would be problematic in the seating areas if a households has 2 or more together and wants to sell one it would not work.

With gaps needed between seats teh capacity would not really be known until the deaman is known, as of households buy single seats there need to be more gaps.

I assume unfortunately that season tickets only is probably a lot to do with track and trace the club has all your details so can't really start swapping and changing unfortunately.

If they are sold through a club controlled site then the club will know who they have gone to.

Unless there are ID checks at turnstiles the club won't stop people going on other's tickets.

no, just let them being available from yhe club to another fan who pays for it. surely its not difficult to get intouch with the club and give em your name, address and seat number to re sell to another fan.

Maybe one for Mark

But what was the season ticket sales total last season ?

[VALAIRIAN]

About 1100 I believe, Loyalty Cards included, somebody will have the exact number

[Mr T]

As of 30th Sept we had sold 1295 season tickets, this figure includes loyalty card holders.
I can't remember if we sold any half season tickets; hopefully not as they sadly would have been very poor value!!

The whole point of ST's only is to satisfy the requirements of track and trace and to stop away fans attempting to buy any spare tickets.

At today's test event at Brighton stewards will be asking supporters for photo ID to ensure the person who has purchased the ticket is indeed the person using the ticket.

Ok Mark Thanks

So given that figure and the available capacity other than trying to drive actual ST sales whats the thinking behind the decision not to sell loyalty cards.

Surely an online sale with a L.C. is just as secure Covid wise as someone who has bought a season ticket.

And given the available capacity if full ST sales only stay in line with last year do you think the LC will be reintroduced to drive another 2 or 300 sales for each game as i would imagine that money would come in quite useful? and would be a big help to those of us who arent able to comit to attending enough games to make a ST viable.

And now its been clarified that away fans or not is an individual clubs decicion and are not banned under the Covid regulations if season ticket [ and possibly LC sales ] dont take up more than the capacity of the 3 other stands are the club considering allowing away fans to take up the option of buying tickets for the Coppice ?

The reason i ask this is because i feel if half a dozen clubs were to push ahead and do this it would result in us all being able to get back to normal sooner rather than later as it would then just happen naturally as clubs felt comfortable to do so and not take some big decision which we all know the FL would just fudge and procaviate over in case it went wrong and they were to get the blame.

If Stabley don't sell out, which there is a very good chance of, a section of the Whinney Hill would be more feasible for away fans - however why not have the extra capacity for Loyalty Card holders who are easier to track and trace?

Hopefully all this is short term, but I see it going on until after we see how the UK copes with COVID-19 in early winter months.

Strong rumours now [ and some evidence from within various clubs ] that clubs need to do a test event at 15% of capacity and if no problems can then move on to stage one [ 20 to 30% ] and after one succesfull game at that stage can move on to the next one at 50% including sales to non season ticket holders.

sounds a good idea to me. a lot of it is up to the fans who attend games to behave themselves and follow all the club rules no matter how stupid or pointless they feel about them. clubs can do so much but at the end of the day its the fans who will make the decision on the percentages we can allow in. a lot who decide to behave as dickheads would quickly close any ground.

The slim chance of any money filtering down from the Prawn (Sandwich) League to help out Leagues 1 and 2 may have just got even slimmer...

Tomorrow's game on IFollow will be split financially down the middle between Burton and Stanley, don't know if this is because it's a cup game or not because I presume league games the majority will go to the home side. So if 5000 subscribe for tomorrow that's £25000 each.
