If they paid you more than the pro-rata cost of a season ticket for each match, then you could buy a season ticket, sell it every single match and come out with a profit. As a STH I don't expect to be able to make a pro rata profit on tickets.
I'd prefer cash than "club cash" however again I've bought a ST with the intention of attending all matches so I don't get upset about the club giving me a means of selling on my tickets if I'm not able to attend and allowing me to put it towards Europa games or ST for following season.

Well done to HU for representing fans. It's always good to push the club as much as possible.
Correct me if I'm wrong though, as a STH I always understood that this was part of the terms and conditions?

“ How you're being ripped off is beyond me”
If they give me £20 in vouchers but sell the seat for £60 cash, I would have been ripped off. If they’d have halved the profit with me and paid me cash, then fair enough. As it was, they kept 100% of the profit.
Great business if you can get it and explains why they’re incredibly rich and most of the people who handed them the cash aren’t.

Received to day from one of our members....
Let me say to everyone of you if that was one of you that had sold their Everton Villa and Southampton tickets back to the club and thought that they had over £100 quid sitting in an account ready to buy your grandchild a West Ham shirts for Xmas. Then in August the money dissappears. Money is tight for a lot of supporters at the moment. I say this is theft.

I agree with Niblets.
I can't stand GSB but on this issue, I think in general the club's position is reasonable.
I still commend HU for standing up for fans though.

You want them to give you more? If you sold your seat on ticket trader for all 19 games, you'd recoup the full cost of the season ticket to be able to use towards renewal. This is one area with regards to people moaning that I just don't get.
How you're being ripped off is beyond me.

I refuse to give these leeches a penny more than I have to. That’s why I never once put my season ticket up for resale. It’s a piss take how that system operates. They give you a lower than market value for it in club cash that can only be redeemed with them, and then sell it at a massive profit for real money.
They are entitled to do that and being leeches they will, you lot are all entitled not to play along in their game of ripping you off.

How do you accumulate club cash when not a STH?
you said in your own post earlier that MOST of the club cash goes to STH.....so not ALL then.
Its not hard to work out the answer to your question.

Snarestone - what if you're not a STH and only go to the occasional game.
As said its a moral issue. The club isn't being hard done by for holding on to the cash indefinitely....if anything they are probably making at tidy bit of bank interest based on the current rates.

Re: Club Cash

To be honest, I do not see the problem. Most of the Club Cash is paid to ST holders when they sell their tickets through the club. When you renew their ticket, or buy a cup ticket, just use your club cash out, so it never gets over a year old! It's not a fucking savings account, comparing it to a bank account is just bollocks!

It's quite simple, they calculate what the ticket is worth at season ticket price, based on the bank for that match. They do not want people buying ST's, and then reselling a lot of the games on at a profit.
For example, I have a cheap seat, works out about £19 a game. For the lowest band games, I get about £13 but for the highest band games I get about £25. They're rough figures, might not be exactly right, as I don't sell it on there very often. But overall, it balances out.

I dont get that a friend cant give you a ticket at face value, but the club gives you no money, only club cash ,then resells at five times the price to a tourest, selling a ticket like this .I think doing this the same thing the touts do, hammers united the only fans group that are fighting your corner, join up for a better deal, keep going paul and the boys.

Does not matter if the club are in the right legaly.
as it say in the hammers united letter this is a moral and ethical thing.
The club cash can only be spend with the club so they will get it back anyway and most probably with some proper cash spend on top of it.
There is not a reason why the club have got to do this.
But they are doing it anyway.
Piss takers.

Kaiser - I reckon they're on solid ground. It's not cash, it's credit - and that expires everywhere. Even gift cards expire.
Can't see them getting something like that wrong when it could cost them a lot of money!

I was given £30 in club cash, yesterday because of the horrendous fuck up with the three game conference thing. Does this mean I have lost that club cash already?

Good work.
I can't see how this arrangement is in any way legal. I'd love to see it challenged in court. Banks can't just close your account and take your money by applying an arbitrary deadline, why should a football club be allowed to do so? and more to the point, where's the morality behind this treatment of the most loyal of customers?
