I hear Bayern have not renewed season tickets for over 200 people who did not turn up for a set number of games, controversial on here but would something like this help with people buying season cards and then only turning up for the few games, there must be loads of people who do that? By the way I am not arsed if you don't turn up for games, I just think its stopping someone else who might...
It is only controversial with the drama queens mate.
If people can't turn up for half of the games they shouldn't have a season card. We have the blue membership for Blues who can't get to that many games due to commitments.
Why not? There are lots of reasons people cant make certain games - work, distance and family being the most common. I wont ever give up my season ticket but I moved away (only to the midlands) and have a two-year old now. Where I can I find a mate back home and organise a duplicate but sometimes it just isn't possible. My daughter will grow up so there's not a chance I'll be switching to a blue membership to save someone the embarrassment of an empty seat now and then. It's pretty difficult to commit when the fixtures get messed around with so much.
If they took cards off all the season ticket holders who cant make nearly all the games I assure you there will be many more empty seats. And just for the record I missed the Liverpool and Chelsea games but not the Fulham and Norwich ones :)
