Club memberships back on sale.  40 quid for the right to buy tickets.  What a joke.

The 80% thing does wind me up. I'm sure they'll argue it represents the cost of reselling the ticket but selling a season ticket is the cheapest way of generating revenue where they only have to incur 1/19th the cost of selling a match day ticket.

Add on the fact that they buy the ticket back from us risk-free at 80% of season ticket price and sell it at full match day price, that's quite the tidy earner for them.

I’ve never had to use it before, but do the club buy back your tickets if you can’t go? I seem to remember something by viagogo a few years back but not sure if they still offer this?

Does anyone have an info on this and the requirements to go to a certain amount of games?

It's done through the club now. You get your season ticket cost divided by 19 back, and then it's sold by them at match ticket price. Very easy and efficient.

Only when the match is sold out, though, I believe.

I used this function loads in my last year as a ST holder, god send.

from the season ticket faq:

Quote
What can I do if I cannot attend a match as a season ticket holder?

Our new system for Season Ticket Holders will allow you to securely release your seat for re-sale if you’re unable to make a game. That ticket will then be available to purchase for new supporters through our Online Ticket Office. This is managed through the My Account section of the site, which can be accessed by clicking on your name in the top right-hand corner, once you are logged in. You will need to register your bank account details ahead of making your first re-sale request. Bank details are required for us to pay supporters once the seats have been sold. Supporters are then able to choose which matches they would like to re-sell their tickets for, provided the games are currently within the re-sale period. The re-sale period will be defined by the club on a match-by-match basis. Once you make your seat available for re-sale it will appear as an available seat via the Ticket Office – both online and in person/on the phone - for eligible supporters to purchase (in line with the standard sales periods for the relevant match). Tickets that are made available for re-sale will only be able to be sold at the adult price in the price zone the seat is located - and at the category allocated to the match. Season Ticket holders will then only receive a payment for the seat should the seat be re-sold. Until the point the seat is re-sold, supporters have the right to withdraw the re-sale request, which can be done via the My Account section of the Online Ticket Office. Season Ticket holders will receive 80% of the value of their ticket for that match (the value of their ticket for that match is calculated at 1/19 of the price paid for the Season Ticket). See the example below: Price Zone 4 Adult Season Ticket price: £483 Value of individual match within Season Ticket (1/19): £25.42 Price paid to supporters once re-sale completed: £20.34

Payments will be made into bank accounts 21 days after the match has been played.

Thanks for this, looks easy enough 👍🏻

Talking to a Wolves fan at the weekend he was telling me that to be on their season ticket waiting list you have to pay £30.00 per season, for this you get 1st refusal on any spare match tickets and a pair of Wolves socks

He is number 11,000 + on their waiting list and has been on this list for a couple of seasons, so I would imagine that they have similar numbers to us hoping for a season ticket - but at £30.00 a person it is not a bad way of generating cash?

It is good that we aren’t doing that but the other side of the argument is that it discourages people from just bunging people on speculatively. We are in a place where babies are on the list as soon as they pop out of the womb. I have just stuck my nephew on with genuinely no idea whether he might want a season ticket when he eventually comes to the top, but if it might take years to get there, I’m putting him on now & we’ll see whether he’s that interested when it happens. My alternative is him deciding he wants a season ticket at some point in the future, and having to wait another 3-6 years before he can have one.
Every speculative name on the list is a person they have to call when they get to the top & the list is general is something they might financially plan on the basis of. So there are reasons for a club to want to know how committed their waiting list is.
So, whilst I think it’s a rip off, I can also see why a club might do it

We are virtually doing that with our club membership - £40 and no free socks and essentially the same benefit of first stab at match tickets.  But yes you're right, the only real difference is they capture people who won't be looking to go to games just yet.

Bought one yesterday after being contacted. Seemed to indicate about 3,500 still available. The choice was mainly Upper Trinity, with reducing numbers elsewhere, very few in Holte Upper or Lower.

I am surprised there are 3,500 season tickets left to sell, it looks as though we wont sell as many as our 1st season back in the big league

There will be plenty of tickets on general sale for each home game

I’d be very surprised if there were 3,500 left,  because at the FCG they said that over 27,000 had renewed and of course we know that people off the waiting list have taken their opportunity up.

There is no way theres 3,500 left. There might be that many seats to choose from, but I would say they are only planning to sell a certain number of them.
