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.

from the season ticket faq:QuoteWhat 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: £20.34Payments will be made into bank accounts 21 days after the match has been played.

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 socksHe 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?

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
