Pompey are trialling a ticket exchange service for season ticket holders who are unable to attend sold out fixtures.
Supporters will be able to make their seat available for fellow Blues fans – and will receive part of the sale price.
This service will be used for next League One home match against MK Dons on Saturday, December 17.
Once a buyer is found, the seller’s season card will be disabled for that game and the purchaser will have the option to receive a paper ticket or an eticket.
The season ticket holder will receive a £5 credit in their online Pompey ticketing account that can be used at any home league or cup game during the 2022/23 season or towards their 2023/24 season ticket.
Please note that as this is a trial, it will be limited to 100 season ticket holders being able to put their seat up for resale. For future games, the number of season ticket holders who can use the service will be unlimited.
Benefits of using the ticket exchange
- Using the service gives season ticket holders the opportunity to get a financial return on their seat for games they are unable to attend.
- An interactive seat map displays all available tickets in one location and simplifies the booking process.
- Season ticket holders are provided with a secure and convenient service to sell tickets to fellow fans.
