Difficult to answer - I mean if your Richie rich then it doesn’t matter, if like most of us that is a considerable outlay for you then it’s less clear.
Would I take the chance - yes I would, but they do say a fool and his money….
I think that you are a cheapskate !
You also need to consider that you might be playing in championship

I’ve considered that and it doesn’t bother me much. I enjoyed the more honest football to be fair.
As for money - it’s not a huge issue but I’d be well naffed off if she popped her clogs and the ticket went with her. Plus the Sod’s law of being offered a ST if I’m at the top of the list would be really annoying.
I’m leaning towards her letting it go and then using the top membership to get to any games I can. It will cost more but in the long run I’m safer cost wise and I guess the seat will go to someone higher up the ST list than me.
The guy I go with is her partner. We have a good laugh, a few beers and share driving and parking costs. He’s not going to renew if she doesn’t so I guess there will be two seats coming up.
I’ve probably answered my own question really but it’s good to get input from others.

Proper Yorkshireman 🤣🤣
Depends if they are good seats or not.
Not sure why you would lose any money if she did die?
She renews the season ticket.
You transfer the money over to her
She sends you the link which you can download to your phone to use all season?
Chances of you getting a season ticket is very very low. Almost 22,000 on the waiting list and I would imagine 95% renew so maybe only a few hundred available? If in the small chance you were offered one by the club then you could sell her tickets game by game. Purchasing 2 season tickets would only equate to same money as paying for game by game so even if you cant sell them (which im sure you could) you wouldnt be losing out.
Cancel your 6 week away. Watching Leeds far more important.

Only a non going plastic would come out with this
Why dont you get her to give you thw login details, and then you pay for it and use it.
The only downside is, when you sell your ticket back to the club, it comes back as a credit.
So if something did happen to her, you might not get that credit.
So she forwards it, you pay for the ST and then she passes away, how are the club ever likely to find out that she has died? I don't get it, is there some kind of clause that you have to declare that you are still alive when purchasing tickets?
Live for now and go for it Stoops ....
Just renewed mine this afternoon - don't care what league we're in ... actually I do obviously, but regardless I'm looking forward to it all.

It’s not so simple. First what happens if she dies? Do we keep her alive as far as footy is concerned? That would be naughty.
Secondly - it’s ok selling the ticket back to the club but they only give you credit to be used against your next season ticket.
Yes I could let a friend go - provided they are over 65 and members. I don’t know more than one Leeds supporter who is in that category and even he prefers to watch at home or in the pub. He’s had many chances to use her ticket but declined.
The money isn’t the only issue though. It’s mostly the fact it might get so messy if she pegs it. She is 89 and having cancer treatment.
I think the decision is made but her partner is coming round to see me at 5pm.
This season was ideal. She bought the ticket and when I went I just paid her £23.50 per game. My mate kept it for her so she had the money to renew - plus she has about £50 on account from sending the ticket back, which she will lose if she doesn’t renew.
It’s annoying but I understand where she is coming from.

I have them. I transferred the Forest game this morning.
I get your point.
Yes any credit goes against next years season ticket. That’s not a major issue as I’ll probably only miss a couple of games and maybe someone will buy it off me at face value.
What’s annoying is they can’t or won’t tell you where you are on the list. I joined it on the first day as soon as I could. Maybe I’m 21,999 but then again I could be next?

Very true 🤣🤣
Why is it "naughty"?
Who does it really harm?
Not the club, their revenue remains the same.
Not your friend's partner, she would probably wish that you benefit, someone she knows and who has added value to her life, not some stranger.
Possibly the next person on the list but even then only for a matter of a few weeks.
Possibly you, because you'd feel guilty, well don't, life is too short.

All fair points.
Having spoken to my mate I've left the ball in his court. I've said I'm willing to take the risk and will pay up front this season.
What swung it for me was the fact a mate in the pub goes to all Manu Games on his uncles ticket and he died five years ago. He just keeps renewing it.
I'm not saying I would be comfortable doing that but it's made me think what I'm contemplating isn't that bad really. I just take the risk that the club might stop the ticket forwarding at some stage and I'm buggered.
Or I buy a dress and identify as her
So it's up to him but I think he's wavering anyway so all this might prove pointless

Rat him out, he's a kant.
If something does happen to her god forbid then I suppose the ST will belong to one of her loved ones
