Season Ticket Waitlist



Out of interest, I’ve just had a look at the seats still remaining available for selection ahead of Monday’s ‘cut off’. They’ve hardly changed (but see my comment at the end of this post) since I looked a week ago, and even then had changed very little since 13 March, the day after all the season ticket newbies like me had dived in. This confirms that everyone eligible bought their seats as soon as they could, and the club will have had a really clear picture of total season ticket take-up for over 2 weeks now. I reckon therefore, that if the club plan to offer more season tickets after Monday, they will do so more or less immediately. Indeed, as all previous ‘fulfillments’ have taken place at 10:00 on a Wednesday, I wouldn’t be surprised if those people being offered one were contacted on Tuesday (after 12 noon as that’s April Fools Day!) and were informed that seat choice would become available at 10:00 on Wednesday 2nd April. The one thing that did surprise me a little is that a few seats here and there, previously sold, are back on the market, including 3 in Club View!

That is interesting - presume some drop outs due to finance / moving seats etc. I wouldn’t have thought it would have changed much since 12th March you’d buy one straight away and not wait 2 weeks! Especially when you’ll have likely been on the waiting list for 5 years 😂

What’s more interesting is based on your theory of emails we should know what the strategy is going to be for number of match by match tickets versus season tickets based on their decisions.

I presume it won’t be a blanket “4+ years membership” it’ll be the mysterious banding which we’re no longer allowed to check!

Yes, you’re right. I can’t see that the blanket 4+ memberships would work as there may well be thousands of those, certainly more than the number of any additional season tickets. As such, the key factor looks as if it must be length of time on the waiting list (and the band hierarchy). Of course, we don’t know that there will necessarily be any further season tickets offered.

I definitely think there will be. Due to drop outs and move to hospitality if nothing else. 43,800 standard home seats - 31,000 season tickets + 4,000 new season tickets = 8,800 which seems very high (and risky) for match by match tickets. I reckon Goodison only has 2-3k at the mo

I think you’re likely correct and I hope you are as I have skin in the game. I was fortunate enough to be a 12 March newbie so I have a season ticket in section 240 of the north stand. However, my lad, with whom I always attend, was 1 membership short, having joined the waiting list on the same day as me. I’ve therefore got my fingers crossed for him.

I think you’ll be offered one. I too have skin in the game so have been monitoring the numbers!

I think one of the biggest hints was the bands of 500 up to the 10,000 mark. After that it was almost like them saying “you have zero chance” but they need to prioritise those 10k by wait list join and membership
