    Today I rung up the ticket office and got a pair of tickets for the Charlton game.
    I wanted two seats together, but the person on the phone told me that the only seats we could get near each other( 6 seats apart) were in The Rookery. and that the Vicarage Road End was almost sold out.

    I told him that I thought that the Rookery was for season ticket holders only, but he said that some people had transferred their seats to the Vicarage Road end.

    Is this allowed?

    I was shocked to be able to get Rookery seats. I also understood it to be full up with season tickets. Looks like the gloryhunters can't put up with Stevie the drummer.

    I can only think it's for ease of getting home afterwards. Lots of people park towards croxley in the estate off Vicarage Road. Getting back there from the Rookery is hell.

    No, it's not allowed. That is why the ticket office transferred their tickets and told you on the phone......:rolleyes:

    Isn't it STHs who want two or more seats together? If you have a ST in The Rookery but want to take a mate to match you can get two together iin the Vic Road End and release your ST seat in The Rookery.

    It's the effect of Paddy's cauliflower and guinness only diet. No one wants to stay in the Rookery.

    Also loads of tickets left for Ipswich game despite the inbreds having sold out the whole of the Vic end.

    Thats spot on afanof. Took my missus for the Wigan game and had to exchange my ST ticket for a complimentary one in the Vic Road end.

    The point I was trying to make is that is that if it says in the ST books that STs are not transferable, than why are ST holders allowd to change which stand they sit in?

    Because that way the seat is sold at match day ticket price as well as having been paid for by the purchaser of the ST. The club will happily sell the same seat twice but don't want you passing it on to a mate, from which they derive no benefit but infact lose out on a seat that mate might have purchased had you not given him your ST.

    Simple.

    Or, like me, and many others you find the atmosphere at home games depressingly stale so bought a season ticket for first refusal on the away games and only attend home games you can afford at the time!!!
