If you sell a ticket to a game you can no longer attend at purchase price when the game is nowhere near a sell out then you are unlikely to sell it. Selling the ticket at a reduced rate offers some return to the person selling it who can no longer attend for whatever reason. Worth noting that the person selling is out of pocket regardless if it sells. Nothing wrong with that at all as they are the owner of the ticket. The person buying has the option to purchase from the club direct if they wish to do so.
As the owner of that ticket, where and how they sell it is completely up to them. The internet is the most accessible way of selling it and a forum related to the club but completely independent of it is the perfect place to sell a ticket. Where else would be more appropriate I would ask. I would also suggest that the person selling the ticket would more than likely have tried and sell it to family and/or friends directly before offering it wider to fellow fans.
Any suggestion that selling a ticket at a reduced price on an independent online forum is somehow inappropriate is oversensitive to say the least. One could argue that such a suggestion may even imply some kind of disloyalty to the club, which it turn could be viewed as ignorant.
Nailed it!! What next, objections to selling jerseys because that might stop someone buying a brand new one from the club?

I think you misunderstand what a "ticket" is. It's not property so you can not hold legal title. It is a "permission to enter" (an invitation of sorts) which can, should the issuer wish, be assigned to an individual and , if so, can not be re-assigned.
Having said that, it's a matter for the Club to enforce or not as it wishes - and it appears it's not too fussed about enforcing its rights. Season tickets are the same but they have, for years, been passed to others for use if the holder can't attend, and no one in the Club has bothered about it.
So, it seems to me, until the Club says "Don't" then no problem. If they do, then they'd have the right to refuse admission to other than the original purchaser.
