    Offered my ESL Season Ticket for the Reading match to a workmate as I expected to attend a wedding on Saturday.
    Wedding now called off (long story) - workmate not willing to return ticket and says he is going to the match. (no monies involved)
    I think he's being unreasonable - is he?

    Yep, it's your ticket and you've paid for it. If he wants to go to the game I'm sure they'll accept his money at the gate.

    Unless it's a work- bought season ticket, then I think he's hugely out of order. It's your ticket, and you were doing him a favour.

    ...before the 'don't you know tickets aren't transferable' brigade wade in, I think your mate's been a total bell end!!!

    Of course he is. It's your ticket.

    I can't believe this is even a discussion subject. Your ex-mate is well out of order.

    Madness. Report the ticket stolen to the club then get a new one issued. No match for him.

    Go to the club and tell them you've lost your ticket and get a replacement then when your "mate" tries to get in on the old one it will have been blocked.... Or I'd assume that's what would happen.

    Also, you could post your seat number on here and arrange to have all your fellow ESL BBS'ers point and chant w@nker at him.
    Though it may be less hassle to just show him the replies to your question and let him see what general opinion of his miserly actions are.

    Report it stolen, workmate is, as they say, a douchebag.

    He's bang out of order. It's your ticket, you made a gesture in good faith but circumstances have changed. Tell him to stop being a bell.

    Report card lost, get a new one and never do him a favour again.

    Bit extreme that.
    I remember when my best mate borrowed my season ticket and kept it the full season AND was rattling my Mrs at same time.
    Got my revenge though as last time I saw him, I waited til he wasn't looking and stuck two fingers up at him really quickly.
    That'll teach him eh.
