Where people have qualified for a season ticket and given it to someone who doesnt qualify yet, whilst they sit in corporate for a season is a different matter and whilst unfair, its not the clubs fault, they cant stop of control that really. Not without penalising the genuine business + personal users outlined above.
I guess its the same moral dilemma for those giving their season ticket to others as it was when people where leaving 1 seat inbetween their Season Ticket seat choices to try and ensure they got the seats they wanted but didnt want to wait for all their group to be eligible.
Tickets for major events, whether its football, music or anything else these days is full of corner cutting and workarounds, I think we've probably tried to do our best and thats worked out OK for some and not OK for others.
I don't think you can win, other than biometric season tickets and nobody wants that!

I think the situation they are describing is where season ticket holders who were eligible for a season ticket have renewed their season ticket as usual but they have ALSO bought a "Premium" package as well (so taking up both a Premium seat which they use AND a GA seat which they let someone else use)

And we had more season tickets?
Or do you mean Season Ticket holding people should have been given a priority window to buy corporate before anyone else?
Struggling to understand what angle people are coming at this from, if it’s the first one then fair enough but how do we make up the revenue elsewhere?
If it’s the second one, corporate tickets were on general sale and for a fair amount of time, any one who wanted one could have got one in the months they were on sale for, so again new corporate members aren’t really jumping a queue to buy a corporate ticket if they were all on general sale, there was no queue.

But given it’s all about £, why wouldn’t that be the case?
Fairness, tradition & fans rights have all gone west, we need to accept that.

lad in front of me at Goodison bought 4 corporate tickets for him, his dad, his brother and cousin
Only him and his cousin had season tickets
If the corporate tickets are in his dad's name or business name how would Everton know
He's also bought 2 in club view which he is leasing to a friend of mine for 3 years
I know plenty of people who bought corporate to basically skip the waiting list as you didn't need to be a season ticket holder which again seemed wrong Previous Message
That was my understanding of it as well, however I have also seen people saying that they have both and they have "sub let" their GA season ticket out to friends on the understanding that they might want it back when/if they come out of the hospitality.... maybe they have 2 Supporter Numbers? Not sure if you can do that? Previous Message
I’m a season ticket holder and when I got the call re. corporate seats I was told you couldn’t buy corporate AND a season ticket, it was one or the other, and that if you went corporate and then decided you wanted a season ticket instead after three years, you’d be back of the queue. Maybe I misunderstood?!? Previous Message
when you add the 3000 away fans plus comps the club will give out we're probably looking at less than 6000 match days sales per game
For me, the club should have capped season tickets at 30000
There should also have been a better process so season ticket holders who have bought corporate should not also have been able to buy their season tickets
