Around me, there are loadsa names under seats, but the occupants seem to change every match.
One case study - a good looking woman took a selfie of herself and the bottom of her seat (involved contortions) at the first home game - and we ain't seen her since (an' I would have noticed, believe me), tho the seat is occupied.
Does this happen a lot?
YES
In which case, one might conclude that our fan base is far bigger than we might assume from ST sales - and also (more interestingly) many fans have alternative interests/events on match-days that take precedence over watching City.
Me and my partner haven't been able to go for the last few weeks and have lent our season tickets out as it's better than going to waste.
I work offshore, give my season ticket to my mate to use as he sees fit, miss more than 50% of the games, rather someone be there than an empty seat.
Same here. Buy a season ticket (or two) to SUPPORT my club....attend the away games...come to home games whenever I get a chance.
Leave season tickets with good friends that go anyway that I totally trust that live in Cardiff.
They can and do take friends that would normally not go.
Everyones a winner.
The club (who station stewards watching every turn-stile to check that the fan matches the profile on the ticket) clearly don't condone the practice - for obvious reasons. And just to be clear, I'm not criticizing the practice - I gave my 13-y-o son my ticket last season and he got in - albeit after a warning!
It would be interesting if photos of the ST holders were flashed up over turnstiles when their tickets were used.
Haven't read the T&C associated with STs, btw
This is why it is so wrong, how come the posh rich f uckers can buy season tickets and invite who they like onto level 3 yet we can't lone out our season tickets.
Just imagine what damage a pissed up nutter (and it has happened), could do on level 3, near the directors box, yet they can be invited whilly nilly
Possibly because those poshos buy a ST which has the ability to invite others, ie covered in the price?
ST holders loan out a card, it's depriving the club of potential income ie that person isn't buying a ticket. Of course, they'd not bother coming to games if they couldn't get in for free...
You could argue loaning a card helps to attract a new purchase , I would suggest if you did loan it out just ensure that individual doesn't take advantage by only going if thier attendance is only predicated on your free kind offer,and tell them so we need investment and meaningful support.
The 99 pound offer is a wonderful deal ,plus the £5 a ticket for season ticket holders for selected games .
The club is doing very well by fans with these offers , perhaps the public should respond as they do for Wales for example.
