Nottingham Forest announce key City Ground ticket update

Nottingham Forest have announced the launch of a ticket exchange scheme that will allow season card holders to make their unused seats available for purchase to members via the club's website.

The Reds have seen crowds of over 28,000 fill out the City Ground for their first four matches back in the Premier League against West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Bournemouth and Fulham. Now those attendances are only set to rise thanks to this scheme which will mean members have further opportunities to attend matches.

Its official launch date of 10am tomorrow (Friday, September 30) means that it will be live for Forest's next home fixture against Aston Villa a week on Monday. Liverpool, Brentford and Crystal Palace are also in town before the next international break for the World Cup.

The scheme, in short, allows season card holders to list their seats for sale on a match-by-match basis when they cannot attend home fixtures and for home members to fill their otherwise empty seats instead. In return, the selling season cardholder will receive an online ticketing credit that will be automatically added to their account to be redeemed against the renewal of next season's season card.

That credit's value is worked out on a pro-rata basis against the season card price of that particular seat, and supporters will be notified via email of that amount when the returned seat has been resold. The club have stressed that this option will only be available to access once there are no remaining general admission tickets for sale.

Will you be making use of this scheme? Let us know in the comments...
