S-T Resale

by SWLR » 19 Apr 2012 22:42

I know other clubs offer the ability for STH to sell 'unwanted' match tickets on-line. There was talk of Reading putting something in place when we were up last time, but it never happened.

Any plans for next season?

It would depend on the demand i should expect. The club never seems interested in filling a seat as long as the seat has been sold, so i am not sure what the incentive is for the club.

Well, for the last few games, the club has claimed to be very appreciative of the fans' support, so maybe the powers that be are coming round to the view that a full stadium yodelling "he used to manage Slough" is better than a lot of empty seats, even if those seats have been paid for.

i agree that bums actually on seats is the better option Maq. Perhaps mid week matches might see the attendance fall off but i think the demand might be too high for this to be feasibly implemented. Also the club would have to buy back the seat to sell it on for the one off match profit and the admin fees might cancel out the incentive to make it happen.

As the technology has already been built for others clubs, I assume a site could be "Ctrl C, Ctrl V"

Exactly, or you can just outsource to a ticket exchange service like Viagogo:-
