Cardiff ticket exchange
Just received an e-mail from the club stating due to demands for tickets there will be a ticket exchange available.
Any season ticket holders who cannot attend the game on Monday with Cardiff can let the club know and if their seat is then sold the season ticket holder shall receive the cost of the ticket, minus £1.50 admin fee, on their BFC Account as credit for future match ticket purchases.
You have until 24 hours before the game kicks off to take advantage of this. Tickets in the Barnfield/CFS are excluded.
Not a bad offer to try and keep the stadium full but as I sit in the CFS surely they can see that from their records so why send the e-mail in the first place.

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
Because its easier to send an email to everyone than to faff about finding out where people sit.

If they had a system suited for purpose it is literally one click of a button, no faffing about needed at all if the club came into the 21st century.quoonbeatz wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 2:04 pmBecause its easier to send an email to everyone than to faff about finding out where people sit.
Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
The email is for people buying tickets as well as selling them so sending it out to everyone they have an email address for is absolutely the right thing to do.claretburns wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 2:10 pmIf they had a system suited for purpose it is literally one click of a button, no faffing about needed at all if the club came into the 21st century.

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
It worked well for me, I saw the email, logged into the ticketing website to find the game sold out. Checked back just now and managed to find two seats together in the North stand upper. They appear to come and go quite regularly so if you are after a ticket, keep checking - theres plenty of singles.

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
So if the club sell a child's season ticket worth say £6 a game to an adult for £35-40 the club will keep all the profit and then charge the fan £1.50 admin fee?
Great for the club.......

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
I’ve had no email but if it allows people to get tickets then it’s a positive move to do this.

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
When you buy a S.T. you a renting a seat. A literal seat which belongs to the club. So if you "give" your lease back to the club and get the money back for doing so, how on earth can you complain about them selling it for face value to someone else? What if someone gave back a ticket for an adult ST and they sold it as a concession, they'd lose money on the maximum markup. Works both ways.
And you get a discount if its for a young or old person who might be unable to afford it themselves. There's no reason for any company to sell anything a discount because of there age, in fact its a very gratuitous thing when companies do that.

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
Why shouldn’t they? So long as they give you what’s due back from the original ticket?

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
Great idea.
Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
I think that is the incentive they need! My season ticket divided by 23 is miniscule, compared to the £40 to bu it on a one off.
Long may it continue.
Well done BFC and keep it up!

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
A number of clubs have done this on a regular basis for a long time but that’s at clubs where they sell out every week.
I’d assume that we will do this if successful and should we continue to sell out.

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
Looking to get rid of one of my kids tickets under my account. It doesn't seem to allow that, just the main season ticket holder (ie Dad and not friends and family)

It could also be in 'Spam'
Agree its a decent move by the club, but on here sometimes, damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
It’s a fantastic idea, and good for next season. That said, I’m sure they’ll not allow it in the CFS where I am, so for me it’s back to just letting mates go on when I can’t make it

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
There must be a better way. I’ve been going into the ticket page literally every few minutes for the last 24 hours and it just Jerrod saying sold out. I’m only after a single ticket
Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
Give folk a chance! It has only just started. It will happen.
Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
Not going well, as club site has big sold out notices up again!

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
Been checking every hour, one came up this morning and it's near where my family sit, so I just snapped it up.
It's just about being patient, supply and demand an all that. They come up in random bits and bobs. Ignore the sold out sign, just refresh the seat picker page directly, that's what I did.

Great to see this system being introduced here

Re: Cardiff ticket exchange
Perhaps anyone putting a ticket online could tip of folk on here, for best chance?
