On all subsequent occasions the upgrade fee will be the difference between the Nominal Match Price paid by You and price of a Single Match Ticket that would be payable by the transferee for the relevant Match.

Once purchased, the Purchaser is not entitled to cancel or change their Ticket(s) (save that a Concession Ticket may be upgraded on payment of the applicable supplement) because the rights of cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 do not apply to this Agreement. However, each Purchaser, Named Ticket Holder and Guest has legal rights if the Club does not comply with its obligations owed to them in this Agreement with reasonable care and skill. Advice about the Purchaser, Named Ticket Holder or Guest's legal rights is available from the local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office.

6.7.2 Cancellation of a Direct Debit does not result in cancellation of a Season Ticket. Customers who purchase Season Tickets under the Direct Debit Scheme will still be liable to pay any outstanding balance until the club approve any cancellation requests. Customers who fail to notify us in writing may be refused Direct Debit and tickets for any future Season Tickets.
6.8 The ownership of a Season Ticket is not transferable without agreement from The Club. Any such requests must be made in writing and should include permission from the current holder of the ticket. If the transferee of the Season Ticket would have been required to pay a higher price, whether that be for an age related price or a continuous renewal price for the Season Ticket than You paid, then You or they will be required to pay an upgrade charge of the difference between the Price paid by You and the Price that would have been payable by the transferee.
6.9 Whilst the Club makes every effort to ensure that pricing and ticketing information provided on, but not limited to, the Website or any other literature or by a sales representative is correct at all times, errors may occasionally occur. If the Club discovers an error in the price or nature of the Ticket(s) the Purchaser has ordered, the Club will endeavour to inform the Named Ticket Holder as soon as possible, and give the Named Ticket Holder the option of reconfirming the Named Ticket Holder's order at the correct price/specification (and paying the difference in price to GPSL, if applicable), or cancelling it. If the Club is unable to contact the Named Ticket Holder, it will unfortunately have to treat the order as cancelled. If the order is cancelled, a full refund will be provided via the payment method used to purchase the Ticket.
7. Seat Transfers
7.1 Holders of Season Tickets will be entitled to relocate their seats for an entire Season, subject to availability and payment of an administration fee. A pro rata price increase (where the seat is a more expensive one) or a pro rata refund (where the seat is a cheaper one) will be due to or by the Club as the case may be.
7.2 Subject to availability and payment of an administration fee, holders of Season Tickets will be entitled to relocate their seats for individual Matches to a more expensive seat (in which case an upgrade fee will be payable) or a cheaper seat (in which case no refund will be available).

Any Supporter who chooses the Post delivery method and has not updated their postal address, or any Supporter who chooses the Print@Home delivery method and has not updated their email address, may be subject to a non-refundable administration fee for the Club to issue replacement Ticket(s).
8.3 For the purpose of clause 8.1 whether a Ticket/Season Card is damaged, defaced or destroyed will be determined by the Club acting reasonably in its sole discretion.

The Club accepts no liability for any damage to any Ticket/Season Card caused by a failure to comply with any care information.
8.4 If, acting reasonably, the Club accepts that a Season Card has been lost, damaged or destroyed, it will issue a duplicate Season Card as soon as reasonably practicable following payment by the Supporter of a non-refundable administration fee. If, acting reasonably, the Club accepts that a Season Card sent to You by the Club was never in fact received, it will issue a duplicate Season Card without any administration fee. A duplicate Ticket or Season Card may be issued by the Club without any administration fee, should the Ticket or Season Card in question have been stolen from the Supporter. In this instance, the Club reserves the right to request and validate the crime reference number provided to the Supporter by the police, and failure to provide a valid crime reference number will result in the non-refundable administration fee being applicable.
8.5 The issue of duplicate Season Cards will be conditional on You signing a document confirming that the original Season Card was lost, damaged, destroyed, stolen or never received (as the case may be). If a lost or stolen Season Card is found You must return it to the Club immediately.
