and rightly so.Problem is, if you take the profit and the tickets end up with United fans and it kicks off in the ground, you will be the one dragged over the coals

Not a protest vote, I just don't want to spend the money.Really?
As a protest vote?
I agree it is a lot of money - but when are we going to get a better opportunity to watch our team knock the mighty Man Utd out of the FA Cup
Some may be fine with this or just don't care, but I'm appalled that our club is so blatantly seeking to profiteer from it's own fan base - see pricing below.
I've been to both FA Cup home games (in my normal seat) and Bristol City away, but for myself, wife, father & daughter it will cost £150 for these match tickets (same family group of Utd Fans in away end = £85).
I don't tend to complain often (I've emailed the club today, probably should know better as it's largely futile but unless the club are made aware, they will continue to do this).... but I really do think this is unfair for all Forest fans and this will backfire on NFFC!!
It's fine whilst we are in EPL, but how many of our new found fans will attend if we get relegated?
I've also noticed a significant increase in away fans in the home sections this season, especially the last 2 EPL games against Arsenal & Newcastle and with so many plastics wanting tickets - it would be very easy to secure our 4 guaranteed seats and then sell them on at a profit.
Not saying this is right, but this is obviously happening.
Rant over!
From Man United website:

Why weren't you allowed to renew your season tickets?Must admit as a lifelong Forest fan whatever happens, the club really isn't doing itself any favours at the moment. Having not been allowed to renew our Upper Trent End season tickets following promotion, then being charged nearly £100 to be on a list to buy tickets (up from £40) , I tend to watch tv games at home. Won't make any difference to the club when they are in the PL, but they do risk losing fans if we go down. Will go if I can get Upper Trent tickets, but not paying £45 for a game I can watch on the BBC.
Having complained about the cost, you are now in the position of having a £50 profit, which could be used to buy two of the Trent End tickets, which if you bought another two would then allow all four of you to go for £50, or £12.50 each!
?If the journalists are toothless, perhaps they would do a better job than me with Wood if I have to do the needful, chap!
I know, but these are friends, live locally and never get chance to see their team.Problem is, if you take the profit and the tickets end up with United fans and it kicks off in the ground, you will be the one dragged over the coals
It's already happening Geedo.... kicked off in TE lower v Arsenal.The thing is they shouldn't do.
They can only get their hands on tickets if Forest fans (Season ticket holders & members) sell them on. All ticket sales are recorded and can be tracked. If anyone is found to do that they should be banned from purchasing tickets in the future.
TE Lower reminded me of being back at school when someone yells "FFFIIIIGGGHHHHTTTTT".It's already happening Geedo.... kicked off in TE lower v Arsenal.
Some Geordies were escorted out in LBC this weekend too, same against Spurs earlier in the season.

That's unlucky, sorry to hear thatEvery season they have had TWO renewal periods. Early (cheaper) and end of the season. At the time of the early renewal, I had knee trouble, and my son was planning on moving house. In the end he moved to Staffordshire, so we still go to half the games, but for the first time in years (ever?) , there was no end of season renewal allowed.
Better than falling further outside FFP and getting sanctions.It’s just disgusting money grabbing, any money made will be swallowed by the wages for one week of a player who hasn’t played in our trolley dash transfer market

This game is the tie of the round; it will be on telly; Forest season tickets are among the cheapest in the Premier League. I don't understand all the moaning.

But it needs to be stopped - this is exactly what happened at West Brom v Wolves - look how that ended.
There are ways to identify who has sold on their seat. They need to be banned.
