Sorry if this has been covered eslewhere.
Back in August I arranged with some on here to use my ST for game I couldn't attend. My son called the ticket office at SP and they arranged to email the ticket to the guy who was using it, all good and efficient and free.
Now, I want to do the same over Xmas. I am now being told that the ticket office has withdrawn this service and all transactions have to be through Twickets which charges a fee to both seller and buyer.
Anyone have any recent experience?
If this is the case would have to pass over the physical tickets rather than email.
Any help / input appreciated.
Thanks

HK I can only offer some help indirectly.
I am aware that someone I know had their season tickets suspended for the Chelsea game because he was trying to sell a couple of them on Facebook.
My understanding is he had previously been given a warning by the club for not using Twickets.
So my assumption is that someone at the club was trawling the Palace Facebook pages saw these up for sale reported him and they suspended his tickets.
One could say the bloke was an idiot having been previously warned but others could say Grass & Nanny state.

Don't know about the ticket office but we have our own system with about 20/30 of us. We all have our own season tickets dotted around the ground,anyone who can't make it, the ticket goes in the pot,anyone of us who has a mate who wants to come,gets the ticket for a score.

Thanks guys
So it seems that unless you are OK with passing around the actual season tickets then need to use Twickets.
8 quid per transaction for sending a couple of emails is nice work if you can get it.
One wonders who owns Twickets.....

Put it this way, on the big screen on Saturday they were advertising Twickets so I would assume that’s a yes.

Did a search for Twickets. Talks about fan to fan, presumably with no re-packaging (that is you have a un-needed junior ticket which could be converted to an adult ticket). For a junior ticket (which cannot be used by an adult) there is a risk of no sale taking place. Does Twickets have a list of all Palace members (with client numbers) as a list of suitable purchasers, or could my ticket go to an opposition supporter?

The box office converted mine to etickets last week & emailed them to me so not sure why it’s an issue.
Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Thanks, the box office sent you as the ST holder e tickets to use instead of presenting your original ST.
Presumably nothing to stop you emailing these on to some one else.

Yep. Sent them straight to my brother in law & he used them without any problem.

In response to your question Heathman, Twickets ask for your membership number, name and postcode. When that checks out the sale can go through. I guess they do make a tidy profit out of it, but if your selling your season ticket through twickets you are assured that if they misbehave it won't come back on you. Had an arsenal mate last year who sold hos ticket on and they got into trouble and he lost his season ticket.(You may consider that a good thing).
