Originally posted by topcat I must be a sucker, if I can't make a match (thankfully not that often) I give mine to one of my mates. Me too. Can't make Saturday so brother-in-law and friend are going. Might have to rethink that offer . . . “My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky."

Originally posted by CJr94 That's like me, if for whatever reason I can't make a game, sometimes I've let mine go for as cheap as Ł15 depending on who it's going to. I don't think I've ever charged more than Ł25 for a ticket. That's why I ask, when we as ST holders pay Ł25 for the ticket, is it right to sell @ the box office asking price of Ł45 or whatever, if CAT A. I remember paying five bob on the homesdale at the turnstiles when players got Ł100 /week.

Two sides of the coin - to strangers at perhaps what they would pay the Box Office, to friends for nothing (or a little) hopefully converting someone to Palace. When I last persuaded someone to fill my seat for a game, I paid to upgrade from Senior to Adult - should I be collecting that amount?

It's fair enough to recover costs off a ticket imho. Just personally don't agree with selling a ticket to a stranger or friend, for more than what i pay for it.

Originally posted by RH8Eagle I would ask the question are you 100 percent there for the Palace, most season ticket holders would say it doesn’t matter who we are playing I will be there watching unless something ( eg wedding, illness, giving birth ) is unavoidable. I have in the past attended games not even remembering who we are actually playing. I have been to plenty of games and woken up the next day not knowing where I went or what the score was!

No Ticket required,….if only. That would be another day in Paradise. To give Both Sides of the Story, I would say payments from friends, family and Easy Lovers are discretionary. It’s the Least You can Do. When dealing with Strangers (like me), re-couping reasonable costs, without taking the pl55, is acceptable. It's a risk you'll have to take That's just the way it is Edited by Forest Hillbilly (08 Apr 2018 6.15pm) "The facts have changed", Rishi Sunak
