[Albion] Exchange seats now available to buy for west ham game

[Wozza]

But it should put to bed the ‘can we extend the North Stand and make the Amex 40,000” stuff.

It was never a serious possibility. Infrastructure can't cope.

Build the monorail and they shall come.

And they shall cum.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

I've put Mrs Earle's ticket on the exchange for West Ham. She probably won't go as flying on Sunday with me for hols. It probably won't sell either so she keeps her options open. But she'd rather list it and not get another sanction letter, than keep it and not go. An inintended consequence of the new policy. She'd rather not go to a game than get a sanction email for not listing it. Not everybody copes well with poorly worded, slightly disciplinary sounding emails.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Our fan base is very flakey. A couple of dodgy games and the demand significantly drops. I think the club might be starting to realise it isn’t quite as strong as they thought it was. I hope it doesn’t affect the Amex expansion plans. But it should put to bed the ‘can we extend the North Stand and make the Amex 40,000” stuff.

 

[Bozza]

2,550 seats available.

If recent games are anything to go by, this number will go up rather than down. It seems a lot of fans don't know they can put their ticket in before the sell-side opens up.

2,681 now.

Yeah, the club definitely needs to be more considerate of fans who can’t go because - double-checks notes - they’re going on holiday the day after a match.

Not just a couple is it, I put on another thread I have taken the whole family to a number of games where it has been easy to get 4 tickets together if you are not members, Wolves, Forest etc and they haven’t seen a win yet.

Pretty sure we have 100s of ‘tourist’ STHers like this, and that the club is trying to weed them out.

To do what with? They aren’t exactly gold dust. Anyone who wants one can buy one.

 

[Justice]

Have just done a quick tally up and it is 2569. I must admit to being surprised that it is as high as that being as that represents 1 in 10 of season ticket holders listing their seats. Maybe some of them will still attend if their seats do not sell which, given the time considerations, must be very likely.

You have seen the shite Fabian serves up?

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Hilarious how the prospect of having an attendance of 27/28,000 as opposed to one of 30,000 is breaking some on here into a cold sweat

No, the club needs to be more considerate with the tone of it's email, or even if it should send it all for missing just one match. The holiday is relevant because Mrs Earle is OCD and needs to leave behind a perfect house. She also doesn't deal well with official emails. We're all different - not really something to mock. The main point was that she'd rather list a ticket and miss the match if uncertain she could go, than decide she couldn't leave the house for whatever reason and a get a formal email about it from the club.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Newcastle might be high too. A lack of appetite to watch a vastly expensive team with few injuries, up against our injury hit Albion.

Currently 1100 listed for Newcastle. Guessing that figure will go up as we get closer to the game or if we have a poor result tomorrow.

Probably didn’t need to mention the reason, although I do understand that a lot of posters on here like to mention their holiday plans regardless of the topic

 

[Driver 8]

I’ve listed my seat for the last three home games. I couldn’t make Liverpool anyway but just can’t justify 12 hours driving for the football we are currently playing. Wolves will be my only remaining game this season.

 

[Hamilton]

2,550 seats available.

If recent games are anything to go by, this number will go up rather than down. It seems a lot of fans don't know they can put their ticket in before the sell-side opens up.

I guess a lot don’t bother until the last two days beforehand.

If the slim possibility of Europe is gone by then, there will be tons of tickets available

It makes some others feel better about themselves. Take no notice.

Guarantee seats for big games.

Easily get money back for most other ties.

And with no significant outlay upfront.

You could easily protect her from Mr Barber and co by switching her BHAFC emails to an account which you read/manage.

I would suggest she lists the ticket, and cancels the sale at last minute if she can go and it hasn’t sold (because it probably won’t). Drama over.

Enjoy your holiday.

No I meant why would the club weed these ST holders out, what will they do with the ticket.
