Seizoenskaarten Ajax te koop of te huur aangeboden: "In strijd met de voorwaarden"

Seizoenskaarten Ajax te koop of te huur aangeboden: "In strijd met de voorwaarden"www.at5.nl Ajax waarschuwt supporters om geen doorverkochte of gehuurde seizoenskaarten te gebruiken. De club schrijft dat het niet toegestaan is.nbspnbspVolgens Ajax worden er op verschillende kanalen seizoenskaarten te koop of te huur aangeboden. Dit is in strijd met de KNVB Standaardvoorwaarden. Voorkom teleurstelling en oplichting, schrijft de club op X.Wie een seizoenskaart via Ajax wil kopen, kan zich aanmelden op een soort wachtlijst via de site van de club. Maar op de wachtlijsten zouden al tienduizenden fans staan. De fans die een seizoenskaart hebben verlengen m over het algemeen meteen. Ook na dit dramatische seizoen duurde het niet lang voordat vrijwel alle fans hun ssc hebben verlengd.Verschillende supporters laten in antwoord op het bericht van Ajax dan ook weten dat het veel te moeilijk is om aan seizoenskaarten te komen. Hoe kan je anders aan een seizoenskaart komen Zonder connecties ben je kansloos, schrijft een van hen.nbspEen ander: Ik probeer al jaren een seizoenkaart te bemachtigen. Is kansloos. Kaarten die niet worden verlengd zouden in de vrije verkoop moeten komen.

6. #USDA is recommending that farms that take possession of cattle that have been moved across state lines isolate them for 30 days. I don't know anything about dairy cow farms. Is all this stuff doable?

5. When can dairy cattle that test positive for #H5N1 #birdflu be shipped across state lines? They have to be held for 30 days, and test negative before they can be shipped interstate.
