Season Ticket Waitlist

[arch stanton]

my daughter is on the list, she registered for a ST November last year with 2 years membership and she is 15k to 18k on the list. Just to give an update on how long the list is.

I'm now 7501 to 8000. 3 years membership. Thought I was going to be a little higher...long time to wait still!! Maybe a higher turnover now in future seasons. We will see.

I’ve said this for a while now.

Once people’s FOMO has been met and they’ve done BMD for a season at an increased cost you’ll get a decent amount of people giving up their ST.

You look at the quality we’ve served up since Carlo left. Had it not been for the new ground the renewal % would not have been in the 90’s every year.

The list will come right down after 2-3 years.

One thing the club need to address for next season is the TicketMaster system and possible bots scalping tickets. Ridiculous how fast they go at 10am and on the re-sale portal.

Received email today and I am 4001-4500

I usually get queued then receive email to say I am top of the queue and every single time they are sold out even when I act instantly

They'll be another ST going for grabs after next season, if half them Muppets last night are still turning out

I think your argument around people experiencing the stadium then not going every week works for this too, you could get tickets easily until February and that was with a lot less available. Once the "firsts" are out the way I doubt there'll even be a market for touts unless we're pushing for top 4

Agreed, I think being able to easily resell season tickets on a match but match basis has also increased renewal rate. Basically it's so easy to flog off each game that there is not really any commitment to having a season ticket anymore. If you have a change of circumstances meaning you can't go to the games then you hold onto the ST and sell the games you cant go to rather than handing in the ST.
I don't think you can officially resell 'member' tickets. The only official resale tickets are from season ticket holders and from what I see are very few and far between. That's not to say they don't appear on other non official site.
I'm honestly not suprised they sell out quick, I reckon there are very few tickets available to that membership sale. Imo probably less than 1000 after they sort out all the supporter clubs etc etc....
Oh well only a few more home matches with shockingly bad obstructed views for £1 discount....member seats next season will be a dream compared to what we are used to!!!

Youngest is now up to 1500-2000 banding, from around approx the 5000 mark.

Maybe in a couple of seasons we can get another one with us!

 

[Lee Smith]

How have they gone up 3k and I’ve only gone up 2?!

They haven't necessarily. Based on those bands, it's possible that your actual place was 3500, and you're now down to 1001, drop of ~2500. ManxBlue's family may have been 4500, and are now 2000. Also a drop of ~2500.

Very likely the exact situation.

Agree! Whole country is on its backside. Infrastructure needs massively sorting around the ground. Memberships want renewing with tickets hard to find. Price increases for following years ST's as TFG know they can get it. MORE ST's tickets will become available.

 

[blue61]

I’m 15000-18000 but that’s off 3 years waiting list and only 1 years membership.

I'm in the same band with 2 years membership but only joined the list last year.

 

[ManxBlue]

I raised a case, they responded saying i have now been added back to Tier 1.....of course when I check the date is today's date, same as if I had just reapplied to go on waitlist.

I have sent them a follow on with a copy of my email from March 25. Is there anything that are admin teams can ever do correctly!!!!

As they didn't come back saying it was due to them doing something in the background, I would spread the word for folk to check as I think there has been an IT glitch that they are dumb to!!!

And this is where the move to digital tickets will scupper ability of fans to lend their ST to a mate or family member for the odd game.

true (if statistically unlikely)
