Dick_Turpin Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I bought a season ticket for my daughter for this season and she's hardly been. I've decided to sack that off and would like to buy my dad one instead. However he isn't a member or a current ST holder. It doesn't look like I can change the name online. Anyone know if I can buy the ticket for my daughter to secure the seat and then swap it into my dad's name? They both qualify for concession rate so there would be no price differential. Otherwise I run the risk of a price rise and losing the seat. Looking at T&Cs it looks like transfer of a ST is only allowed on a match by match basis and with express written permission of the club. That's obviously a ballache. I'll try and call tomorrow but worried I won't get through so thought I'd ask here. Sadly this was a last minute idea so haven't had chance to contact the club before.

pride_of_the_road Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I changed a season ticket name in ticket office when renewing for this season and kept the priority points as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renew for your daughter and then before the season starts then pay for the upgrade and change of name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgmetcalf Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Well, let us know how you get on. Obviously there might be a difference in price but with a bit of luck you might get some points transferred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kath Hallows Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 You would have to pay to upgrade because a pensioner concession is more than a child concession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengrass Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The first part of this task is getting through to someone on the phone that knows what they are doing. Having said that if you are able to pop into the ticket office the staff down there are pretty good, would suggest this being your best option.

2mnn Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I've recently done this. I had to take a signed letter from the previous owner stating they wanted it transferring to me into the shop. They transferred it and issued a new card there and then. I had a small fee to pay but was only because I moved the seat from the kop to the north. There may be a price difference depending on your daughters age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Turpin Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Managed to get through - initially told I had to buy one ticket and send them an email with new season ticket holders details. That application would be dealt with in the coming month as a fresh season ticket. I suggested buying for daughter and changing name at a later stage the bloke said that was fine too - so that's what I did. New tickets will be issued after fixture list is out apparently so need to change ticket name before then. Happy Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
