| Manchester City Football Club Kills Deal with Seat Exchange |
 Less than two years after the partnership began, Manchester City Football Club has cut loose from online secondary ticketing firm Seat Exchange.The partnership, sealed in July 2008, was a way for the club's season card holders to sell, and other supporters to buy, Manchester City tickets for home matches. And it was declared a “win-win situation for the supporters and the club” by American company Seat Exchange. However, it's was just severed and there's been no real explanation given by either the British football team nor the American ticketing company.. A statement on the Manchester City website described the situation as regrettable and put it down to “circumstances beyond our control”, but did not elaborate. Officials say that Seat Exchange would not be replaced by another provider because it was “a lot easier said than done” to install the necessary systems... but the football club is on the hunt for a replacement service. Seat Exchange continues to provide a similar service for clubs including Newcastle United and Aston Villa.
