When I got there someone was sat in it. I guess I should have kicked them out of it but as they seemed happy enough to be there I just sat somewhere else. It’s down to what seat you have on your season card really, we do get a lot of people requesting seats in the north stand that are “under cover, on the half way line, far back” but we can’t sell them via our system because they’re occupied by season ticket holders we usually explain to them that some season ticket holders don’t actually sit in their seats so there might be some availability on the day in the area they specified if those season ticket holders don’t actually sit there then yes someone else is being deprived, especially elderly fans that come to the Ticket office during the week to ask. But then the argument is, is that the season ticket holder has spent a substantial amount of money etc so it shouldn’t matter if they don’t actually sit in their assigned seat or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the actual number, I would have to check as it’s a league ruling I think, but it’s a lot more than the amount of season ticket holders we currently have Edited February 28, 2019 by OAFCBilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 This thread is just stupid. FFS, Just sit in the seat you’ve purchased for the season and there wouldn’t be any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone wanted my seat near the back and the stand was going to sell out I'd sit in my seat near the back and they'd get whichever other one I would have sat in. Have you considered that someone who always pays on the day might be aware that "my" seat is always empty and, therefore, always sits there and that to sell a ticket for that seat would then, to use your word, "deprive" that person of my seat?

Bobledgersheart Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I've an idea !........why not just buy a season ticket for the seat you actually want to sit in ? .....OR.... if you're of a nomadic nature just pay on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who decides who should or shouldn't be "deprived"? No, because they might request a seat in the middle, far back, under cover. But then we can't sell them that seat because they are all occupied by Season Ticket holders on our system. If then those season ticket holders don't actually sit in those seats, then the person who wanted that seat, misses out. "that to sell a ticket for that seat would then, to use your word, "deprive" that person of my seat?" We can't sell tickets for seats that are occupied by season ticket holders on our system, so we can't "deprive" you of your seat. If someone ends up sitting there on match day because you're not sat there and you're sat elsewhere, that's on you, not us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think its going to be a problem aslong as we are under capacity If the floating season ticket holders choose to sit in seat that are not reserved along with the pay on the dayers it shouldn't be a problem. Some of us, in fact most of us want to sit in the seat we bought I don't see why others can't respect that although Im not envisiging a problem here fir sometime to come.

Using your logic if I'd like to have sex with a Hollywood actress who is married but her husband never has sex with her (or always has sex with someone else instead) am I then missing out and being "deprived"? She's not my wife, she's his. It's not their seat, it's mine. Whether I sit in it, have sex with it or otherwise.

sjk2008 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 You buy a season ticket, you are assigned a seat. Sit in that seat and there are - literally - no issues. Choose to sit elsewhere and the risk of issues increases. It really is quite simple, and as is par for the course on OWTB, people seem to be putting arguments forward for the sake of it.

Witty Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 The best 'fun' we had regarding season ticket holders and seating arrangements was the "celebration" game when the 3 amigos took over. Against Grimsby I think, £5 in I think. The club said it was sit anywhere you like for all. A few cross season tick holders that day.

I along with many others havent got the desire to sit in the same seat every home game, my season ticket is bought for the sole purpose of having first dibs on cup tickets and away game tickets.
