Bluedell 5,627 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 My mate, who has had a season ticket for 33 years, doesn't go a lot these days due to illness/old age. He often does give it to someone else but it seems unfair to punish people like him who'd love to go every week but just aren't up to it, but enjoy it when they can. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onevision 1,571 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Seat sub i agree is a great idea and should be encouraged but no way do you cancel a persons season ticket when paid in full. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep saying this that nobody is being penalised. You would just be asked to let the club know you won't be there. Jeeees?, the club are essentially paying you to do that. As I said the Dortmund idea would leave you having to miss 40%+ games for you to be pulled up. To be fair, if you are not there 40%+ of the time and DON'T tell the club, then they lose out on circa £150-250 depending on how much you go. If we times that by several thousand between 10-20 times a season, it's a lot of cash. Additionally, I believe the catering comes back "in house" next season so that's more money (from a business perspective). Anyway, I only brought it up as I seen Dortmund are planning on doing it, We should all be using Seatsub anyway as it's money for the club?

About 10 thousand people might be interested in that. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to see it when they leave, however it is their choice to leave, it's their ticket, they will probably have missed a lot of goals doing what they do so it's their loss. I would rather they didn't leave but you can't force them to stay, and in fact I myself was bursting for the toilet and left it very late to go for a piss before the journey home. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pet hate of mine is noticing empty seats at games frequently. I am sure we all know a seat somewhere that is often empty as the occupiers only turn up for "the big games". Borrussia Dortmund have informed supporters that if they are absent from more than 7 games then they can have their ticket cancelled. We are pushing Seatsub for various reasons, but it seems logical that if you can't make it inform the club, and everyone benefits plus other bears do not miss out on the chance of tickets. Personally, I would suggest we follow the same line as Dortmund if supporters just leave their seat empty? I had over a dozen spare on Wednesday, put some on the Ticket Office on Follow Follow and never got so much as a single bite. For the Killie game on Boxing Day I shifted over 15 via the TO on FF and could have trebled that easily. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind me the beginning of the week pretty sure I'll have an Adult and Juvenile together in GR5. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
