2. Admission to the Ground
2.1 Subject to Clauses 11, 16 and 17 below, a Season Ticket permits you to occupy the seat indicated on the Season Ticket for each Premier League match. Operators at turnstiles will only permit access into the Ground on presentation of the correct Season Ticket along with (where required) a valid form of identification (for example, valid passport or driving licence). For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Club notifies you otherwise in writing, a Season Ticket does not permit you to occupy the seat indicated on the Season Ticket or entrance to the ground for a Relevant Cup Competition.
2.2 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall constitute or imply any entitlement to occupy the seat indicated on the Season Ticket in any Subsequent Season.

2.4 Save for official Club merchandise and/or other football related clothing worn in good faith, you shall not bring into, use or display within the Ground any sponsorship, promotional or marketing materials. No clothing should be worn that could in any way be seen to promote racial or any form of discrimination which could lead to offence to fellow members of the crowd.
2.5 You shall not offer or distribute (either free or for sale by any person) within the Ground any consumer article or commercial product of any nature.
2.6 The Club reserves the right to refuse admission to, or eject from, the Ground any person who fails to comply with the Terms & Conditions of Entry.
2.7 Without prejudice to the representation at Clause 1.2 above, and in light of the Season Ticket holders being grouped together in designated areas, any attempt to gain access to the Ground wearing or carrying apparel (including, without limitation, replica shirts hats and/or scarves) that demonstrate support for the Away Club, may result in admission being refused or you being ejected from the Ground and in such circumstances no refund or alternative seat will be offered.

3.2.1 to a Guest with the express written consent of the Club, given at the Club's absolute discretion, provided that such sale or transfer is in respect of an individual Match and in consideration of no payment or benefit in excess of the face value of a ticket to that Match and provided further that such transfer does not take place during the course of any business or for the purpose of facilitating any third party's business and where the Season Ticket is a concessionary one and the sale or transfer Is requested to a Guest who does not qualify for the relevant concession the Season Ticket Holder must upgrade their Season Ticket to a full price with The Box Office prior to such sale or transfer; and/or
3.2.2 to any person without the express written consent of the Club, provided that such sale or transfer is in respect of an individual Match and is made via (and in accordance with the terms and conditions of) any Official Ticket Exchange; and/or

The Club reserves the right to require the immediate return of the Season Ticket at any time.
3.5 Any Season Ticket obtained or used in breach of the Terms & Conditions of Entry shall be automatically void and all rights conferred or evidenced by such Season Ticket shall be nullified. Any person seeking to use a Season Ticket in breach of the Terms and Conditions of Entry in order to gain entry to the Ground or remain at a Match will be considered to be a trespasser and will be refused entry to, or ejected from, the Ground in respect of a particular Match and/or may have his/her Season Ticket cancelled or withdrawn. In the event of any cancellation and withdrawal in accordance with this Clause 3.5, no refund shall be payable to the holder in respect of any unexpired portion of the Season Ticket.

For the avoidance of doubt, if any outstanding balance against the Season Ticket is not paid at this time, the Club reserve the right to exercise any of its rights set out above. This is merely a right to amend the method of payment and not a right to cancel the Season Ticket.
