I think you've misunderstoof what NGR and I were proposing (or we've explained it badly). The Super 12 doesn't guarantee you a specific seat. What it guarantees is a seat at a cheaper rate if you decide you want to go to the game.
You'd get - say - a booklet of 12 vouchers entitling you to a ticket for - say - £15 (let's not worry about the exact figures for now). Each voucher is not a ticket in itself. What you have to do is go to the ticket office on matchday and exchange a voucher (or, if you're doing it over phone/web, have one voucher's barcode used up) for a match ticket in a seat that you choose at the time of exchange. So no seat is reserved for you until you actually swap the voucher for a match ticket.
You aren't getting a designated seat when you buy your book of vouchers - you're simply committing to go to X number of games over the course of a season at a reduced rate. There may well be holes in such a system, but the "reserved seat" misnomer isn't one of them.
One other thought - you'd probably need to have some sort of photo ID protection so the S12 voucher could only be redeemed by the person who bought it, but that seems eminently possible to address.
