This was exactly what happened to life-long Manchester United fan Graeme Clarke when he missed his team's away match against Hull City at the KCOM Stadium.
58-year-old Clarke said that he had felt unwell on the morning of August 27 when United beat Hull 1-0, and was unable to travel to the game.
The club later sent Clarke a letter on September 23, informing him that his right to apply for away tickets had been revoked for 12 months.
The club also said that it is obliged to uphold the ban as Clarke didn't cancel his booking on the day, as stated in United's rules and regulations on away tickets.
"Although we understand circumstances may occur where you are unable to attend a game you have purchased a ticket for, you are able to cancel your ticket and receive a refund via our contact centre," Man United's head of ticketing and membership operations Sam Kelleher wrote in the letter.
