Seems a good idea

for who?

So I can buy a U-18 ticket at £45 (?), then sell it 23 times for £5 a pop ?

I am in.

doesn't work like that. 

the seat has to be sold first

Ill just carry on giving mine away for free and hope I get ones for extra family members when I need them in return.

No way I can be arsed faffing to make a tenner.

Good idea like.

Between 1000 and 3000 ST seats not used each match.

Surely a large proportion of them will be kids?

I think even 3,000 doesn’t tell the full story for midweek games.

Ticketmaster must be doing the hard sell on Ticket Exchange as a few clubs have taken it up. Varies how much each fan gets though - Hibs do 50% of the ticket sale (so a kick if a kid buys it) and Hull KR do a fiver so a tenner is pretty generous really.

Won’t be partaking myself though unless all of ours are unused so we don’t have a randomer plonked in the middle of us.

For all. I appreciate the club get another chunk but like anything if you aren’t happy I suppose you can sell yourself. 
 

Fwiw I just give mine away the few times I can’t make it as I’ve been given plenty of frees over the years.

U-13's are £45. U-18's are £69 (or £59 if it's a renewal).

Don’t get what’s in this for the club (aside perhaps for a bit of PR with ST holders).  Unless we were selling out each week (which we never will) the club loses money on any match-by-match sales to punters buying these seats compared to non-ST seats (by having to credit the fiver/tenner to the STH).  Most unlike Neil this one 😵‍💫

I wouldn't have thought the demand over the course of a season would be high enough to make it worthwhile, but I suppose there's no harm in trialling it

There’s been a suggestion that ST holders aren’t bringing people along because they can’t get a ticket in the same stand so this goes some way to remedying that.

That's the average - no way is it that low for some night matches.

£5 back for kids tickets seems very generous for the Tuesday night one v Shrewsbury.

He could also stop the ban on ticket sales in ESL

My grandson has just turned 12 and his renewal is £59

I'm just a bit sceptical about letting the club sell Junior's ticket for £30 and then give me a £10 credit.

These schemes always seem to benefit those suggesting them more than those it is aimed at.

I'll file it under bookies cash-out offers etc.

That’s all their ticket is worth tho isn’t it if you spread it over the season. 
 

the big issue is you get nothing if it doesn’t sell so why bother

My mistake. I meant Under-12's not Under-13's!

is that credit off the next ST? Or just towards some tat from the club shop?
