Just phoned up the ticket office to upgrade my ticket on Saturday from Over 65 to normal cos my sons taking my place. Was told that I can only do this 3 times a season! What does it matter how many times I do it if I am prepared to pay the difference between my discounted price and the normal game rate?

Of course they can track it, everything including the tickets are now digital.
It was in the small print, there's always small print.
Despite the practices employed for the last decade or so, CAFC is actually a business.
FWIW: where's your season ticket seat? If it's in one of the stands with (too) many price bands, your son could buy the cheapest seat in that stand and still sit in your regular spot, the next time you can't go.
Dunno how often these things get checked but, I know a couple of OAP's who miss the odd match each season, especially Tuesdays in wintertime, they often pass on their seasons to anybody else who wants to come and those chancers/plastics never get challenged to prove how old or young they are... just saying...
That along with other matchday improvements and overall engagement approach should mean that fans shouldn’t want to avoid paying the right amount - after all Roland has gone from the club (aside from the Freeholds) and perhaps just as important we appear to have an enlightened commercial approach emerging in line with FilltheValley objectives.
Would be great if they could do something with the EFL regards away games on Saturdays if say the away section we’re sold out, but that would involve more than just our club of course.
From my own experience I purchased a ST just to keep my seat and need to attend one game per month to break even. I probably won't do it again next season so that's £400 as a bare minimum out from my spends plus £100 on food/drink x 12 from the games I actually do attend.
At the moment it is early days for the ftv group, assuming it continues and grows, the point you make is something that has and I expect will be made for a number of scenarios.
