Who here owns a season ticket? For any club.


I consider myself a pretty devoted United fan but I've only been about 8 or 9 times in my life, the tickets being expensive and hard to get hold of etc. however a friend of mine turns 21 this year (same as me) and for his present his mum put their name down for 2 season tickets this year under the pretense that he gets one for his present and someone he wants buys the other. Now as far as I know he has offered 1 to his mate but his mate cant afford to buy it in one go (~700 quid I think) so was just ognna buy tickets for each game. BUT my mates mum doesnt want to pay for them both so he has said if his mate doesnt want it then I can have it.

My dad said he will buy it me for my 21st if I can get it which I am well chuffed about but I think if I do it right I can manage to go to like 15 games a season for free, I wanna know a fwe things first though.

Do you get every ticket in one go in a book or somethin or do they send you the tickets each week? Do you have to take the entire book with you or do you just take each ticket for each match? Can you sell the tickets for any match you cant go to or dont want to go?

Do you get preference for away games and do you get tickets for cup matches and europe?

Anyone can answer these I'd be grateful, surely if you can sell the tickets I could make my money back on this.
 
You get them all in a book. And as far as Cup games go you HAVE to buy these when they crop up, they get billed straight onto the credit card.

And yes it is possible to sell them afaik.

does that include europe games?
 
Im a ST Holder @ Fulham, and its a card - similar to an oyster card, insert in machine, read its and go through.

Thats all i need.
 
Season ticket holders at United now have to purchase ALL home FA cup/Carling cup/Europe games. It's the reason why I won't have a season ticket this year for the first time in three years :(

I dont get why thats the case though, surely thats just the equivalent of more than doubling the price of the ticket?

Could you sell the ones from your ticket?
 
I've got a season ticket at Anfield and have had since I was a nipper. We get a fancard which is electronically programmed for Premiership games. For European games/ Cup games we get paper tickets. Season tickets are not transferable and technically you can get into trouble if you are caught sub-letting your ticket out. However, nobody bats an eyelid in reality.

Man U are part of viagogo.co.uk, a legitimate ticket exchange. I am not sure if this is for season ticket holders though or just someone who bought a paper ticket and cannot go for whatever reason.

Just snap it up mate. I am sure you will be able to get rid of the games you can't make. And if you are that way inclined, you could almost pay for the entire ticket if you tout the premium games such as Man U vs Liverpool, vs Arsenal or Chelsea. This is illegal though so don't! ;)
 
I have 2 season ticlets at Liverpool

away tickets are sold to season ticket holders on the basis of how many games you wet to the previous season

our "tickets" are actually swipe cards
 
Season ticket for the mighty Barnet :cool:

...comes in a book along with vouchers for free stuff and competitions.

If i want a cup ticket then i get 5 days or so before general sales to phone up and reserve my seat (have to pay for it, ticket doesn't include any cup games).

Not too bad for a L2 club, pretty standard fare.

As far as I'm aware, you can sell any tickets you don't want through viagogo. But with this being the first season of the automatic cup scheme, literally thousands of people will be putting their tickets on there (think midweek carling cup and midweek european games against lowly teams). You might get lucky and manage to sell all the ones you don't want, but I think you'll struggle quite often.
 
I've got a season ticket for Spurs (East Upper stand).

It's a book of tickets with a number printed on each ticket. They seem to choose a random one each game, so you have to bring the book with you. Selling tickets is not allowed, but you can trade in tickets to big games in return for Spurs shop vouchers. I usually just lend my season ticket to someone if I can't go.

You can register to automatically receive tickets to cup/European games but it's not compulsory at Spurs. The first two cup/European games are included in the price of the season ticket but additional games cost extra.
 
Season ticket for Arsenal, card loaded with all league games and 7 cup ties and if we go over the 7, we get them as well, but next seasons renewal price has these games added to the bill.

As per last season, I'm sharing the £1165 cost with a mate and get half the matches.
 
I'm sure vigagogo (sp) only lets you list tickets for sold out games aswell so if the game is sold out you can only offer it around and may stand to lose a fair bit of money.
What bugs me is that One United members got £5 off each ticket yet when the season ticket holders got billed automatically last year it was for the full price :(
 
We get a card from this season. Cup games you can log on and pay via the website and it should automatically update your card.
 
I have a Celtic season book, which became a card system last year. I actually prefer it cos it's easier to fit in my pocket when I go to the pub afterwards :D
 
I thought it would be a book of tickets because if its just a card or whatever then you'd think you'd hear of loads of people havin their season tickets robbed at matches.
 
2*MHL at Stamford Bridge - swipe cards.
Games that I can't go to I loan to trusted friends.
CL, FA Cup and league cup are not included for me, so come as paper tickets if I choose to buy them.
