Disagree with the OP. If someone pays the money for a season ticket it's their prerogative to attend whichever games they choose.
Its the Easter holidays. loads of people on holiday this time of year.
Ticket exchange is good, giving chance to recycle tickets and get more general sale sorts through the door.
I thought about rejoining the membership so I could get access to tickets this year, but the club still want £50 to be a member for the remainder of the season. Unfortunately I just can’t afford that as well as the ticket prices, so that’s me out 😢

I find that hard to believe. Are you sure they don't apportion it?

Not that I can see. Happy to be shown if I’m doing something wrong though?

I agree that there are too many season tickets. I got a season ticket last year for the first time since I was a kid, but the previous few years was a member and managed to get to the majority of matches. Arsenal and Chelsea were the only games it was really difficult to get to.
The exchange is a good idea, but without having gone on it I am assuming it's mainly just single tickets? Whereas selling it blocks allows people to go with their friends.
I do find it odd people buy a season ticket without the intention of going to virtually every match. Even last year at Wembley I went to every match except for a game I was on holiday for. I personally love games like Huddersfield, we are more likely to win!

I disagree. Having a season ticket is a result of years and years of loyalty. The reward is not having to sit in the circle of Doom every few weeks and instead having a guaranteed ticket.

Maybe used to be but getting a ST lately was as easy as being a bronze member for one year.

I have been a loyal supporter for 60 years, but only ever had a season ticket for three seasons, when I shared one with a mate, in the 1980s. I am old school, used to just go to every home game, and queue up. First come, first served. Only ever got locked out of one game, and that was Wolves in the 1960/61 season, the double season. I just used to get their early and queue up to guarantee entrance.
Sandy I think you're proving my point. Few people can go to every game because life gets in the way.
I expect to go useabout half of my ST next season, But I've found a friend to share it with. It works for me, works for them and I'll balance football and family better.
More generally on this thread, let's not judge people if they have a ST and can't go to games. It just means more chances for the wider fan base to go.
I do agree that there are too many STs and too few member tickets. But I guess it comes down to guaranteed Vs variable income and cashflow...
