That's complete and utter rubbish. It clearly states in the terms and conditions of season ticket purchase that the ticket is for your sole use and is not transferable. As Freeman says, it's not heavily policed and I'm sure it's frequently abused, but the idea that you buy the seat and can then decide who uses it is plain wrong.
