...rare serious post from me.

Think very carefully about what you are trying to achieve here. I'm assuming this is a recent thing and emotions are raw. Take some time out and think about the long game.

The judge (and I'm assuming court order, or however the family lot finalise these things) will have had the occasional game in mind. Stick to that (for now) and you'll be fine.

If you suddenly rock up with 3 season tickets expecting to be able to take your kids out every other saturday for hours at a time, on a day that the courts have decided is one that your ex is entitled to have them on, you WILL be back in court within months. Your ex can (and by the sounds of it very well might) try to stop you if you take the piss. You risk losing the ability to take them to games entirely (and at the very least you'll be wasting more money on legal fees that could be buying Norwich tat for the kids)

Play the long game. Keep to ad hoc games for now, and work up slowly over time (and let it be driven by the kids, not you).

If you think short-term and try exploiting the loopholes, you' risk getting into an emotions-driven argument. I'm assuming this hasn't been an amicable process so do not add petrol to the fire by trying to find ways of getting around the court's decision. We see this sort of thing all the time at work, and it rarely ends well for the party trying it on.

Look at it as a privilege, not a right - don't abuse it. I know its hard, I've got kids myself and it'd kill me not being able to see them as often as I'd like. But you've got years and years of contact time and football ahead of you. Don't put that at risk. Play it smart.

In the meantime good luck sourcing tickets.
