I get what you’re saying about you paying for it so you should be able to do with it what you wish. Unfortunately, you’re only renting that seat from the actual owner. If you’re unable to attend then they can set the terms on how ‘their’ seat should be filled. They also set the terms on how you can access that seat.I should get to decide because I’ve already paid for my season tickets, so it’s mine to give to whomever I wish (or that’s how it should be).
I don’t know what point it is your trying to make tbh.
I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s how I’ve looked at the situation that allows me to at least understand the club’s decision.
