I was just taking the original post at face value. The suggestion was that there was still loads of availability to get season tickets so that's what I based my reply on. If it's not the case then ignore it, it wasn't me who suggested it was I just assumed the point was correct.How does it? You're assuming that the seats still available represent season ticket opportunities that haven't been sold.
The capacity is 53,000 (give or take). We've got roughly 32,500 season ticket holders and we've opened up circa 3-5,000 tickets to those on the waiting list. So, with the 3,500 away tickets that brings the total to circa 41,000.
Meaning we're leaving around 12,000 tickets for sale on a game by game basis, both hospitality and general admission. Suspect the club have held back seats in certain areas so that all the ones offered for General Sale aren't all grouped together in less popular areas. However, they won't have just released the exact number of seats to choose from for the exact number of fans eligible to buy a ticket.
Ultimately, we have far more seats available within the ground than we we allocating to season tickets.
It won't be a very small minority, it will be a decent chunk. I know 3 or 4 personally who've not taken it up, and others have posted on here that they haven't taken it up either. As I've said a few times, it's not a criticism of people or our support, it's just a really obvious fact. In the same way that I told a mate that I'm definitely up for going to watch the Ashes in Oz with him next winter but know that realistically when push comes to shove I probably won't be able to do it, loads of people will have put themselves on the list with the very best of intentions but won't actually be in a position to drop £800 or commit to 20 weekends a year when it comes to it because their Mrs isn't happy, or their work patterns don't suit it or whatever. It's just how these things work.Out of the 30000 on the waiting list there will undoubtedly be some who wouldn't take up the offer, but it would be a very small minority.
Me and my Grandson are on the waiting list so I'm made up that there are still plenty available in the Family stand, but I don't expect for one minute that we will get one. (both only had membership since 2024)
Hopeful that there will be plenty in Family stand for general sale.

ALL the seats have a more than decent viewGood to know there will be seats available and all presumably decent view.
I think the option of buying tickets match by match will appeal to many fans self included. After next season 25/26 I may not be in a position to attend every home game but will get to maybe 6 or 8 games . Good to know there will be seats available and all presumably decent view.
