So some will be cashing in for profit or have I got that wrong.

Looking at the description no, it doesn't work like that.
Say your season ticket was £400 and covered 20 matches - that equates to £20 a match. If you sell your ticket you get a £20 ticket credit which can go towards your next season ticket.
However, I don't think it said anywhere how much the buyer would have to pay - whether that would be £20 or more.
And now the article seems to have vanished so maybe they haven't sorted all the details yet.

Just had a look at availability for the Aston Villa game and there are some tickets available via the ticket exchange. They appear on the seat map as with normal tickets but have an icon to show that they're returned tickets.
Interestingly the price they're sold at is the standard ticket price and *not* the proportion of the season ticket that the seller gets, so the club will make a few quid on each of these seats sold.

Think that's fair enough to be honest. Still making same from seat as they would selling any other day tripper seat. The SC holder is reimbursed, club get standard cost of a seat and day tripper gets to see a Prem game. Wins all around.

As I'm visiting the UK for the first time in 13 years in November I was seriously contemplating getting hospitality tickets in the Legends lounge for the Palace game. So that's 185 quid x 2 plus Vat, plus a Hotel and spending money and transport. Probably over 600 quid for the day. It may have been worth it if we were playing some decent stuff and were not nailed on to be the leagues whipping boys, so nah, I'm going to give it a miss.

Sorry you didn’t make it here last season, it was a joy to behold, leaving the ground every Saturday with a big grin on my face and everyone around me doing the same, the atmosphere better than anything Ive seen at the CG in 40 years.
Its painful that it’s evaporated so quickly, Im cheering my self up by watching youtube replays from last year.

I was lucky enough to watch us during the "Glory Years" and after that was seeing us entrenched in the second division for many a year and I even dragged my self to see us play the likes of Gillingham in the old 3rd division but my move to the States saw my opportunity to watch Forest live severely curtailed. I have though, for many years subscribed to many channels to watch them play on TV. I must have seen nearly every game last season via Forest Tv which was mostly a pleasure. This season is as different again from last and I just feel so disappointed that we havent been able to produce one single display which made me feel proud again...

Meaning the waxworks will show more movement than our players?

I seriously wonder if we signed Lingard’s wax model rather than the real player.
