Season Tickets

[Hookeysmith]

My understanding is 10%* allocation for away fans for league games and 25% for domestic cup games.

*Based on ability to safely segregate - so we offer 7% based on current stadium layout (approx 2900)

New cards will be issued and expect arrival in early August on the day before the first home game, having spent a couple of weeks panicking.

FIFY

Which would be an improvement on last year, when Villa had to email me printable tickets

It's 10% up to 3k. So grounds under 30k have to give 10% of capacity, grounds over 30k it's 3k.

For FA cup games it's up to 15% but capped at 9,000.

For league games (and league cup) it's min of 3,000 or 10% for clubs with capacity < 30k

The Safety Advisory Group (SAG) must also agree to the away allocation that has been proposed. The SAG is made up of representatives of services including the police, fire, ambulance and building authority.  For fixtures that pose risks to health and safety, they can choose to decrease allocations for visiting clubs.

Even then it's not set in stone as we only give 2800 apparently.

[PeterWithesShin]

This is what Spurs had in April, I checked them as it's recent and they'd have wanted the full allocation

Allocation: 3,005 including 139 restricted view tickets, 14 wheelchair user/personal assistant pairs and 14 ambulant/personal assistant pairs.
Prices: Adults - £30; Over-66 - £29.50; Under-18 - £27.50; Under-14 - £16.50.
Wheelchair and Ambulant tickets are priced as follows with a free of charge personal assistant ticket. Adults - £30; Over-66 - £29.50; Under-18 - £21; Under-14 - £12.50.

so thinking about this, of our 8,000 extra seats we will have to give 2,000 to away fans.  I think a fair proportion will go to increased corporate offerings, so the actual increase for the day-to-day fans may only be 3-4k.  It will hardly touch the waiting list.  I think we'll need the Witton Lane looked at sooner rather than later.

<edit> - this is wrong!  It's 3k max so ignore post.

No we won't. The maximum required away allocation for a league game is 3k. Doesn't matter if the ground holds 100k.

Yes you're right, I'm confusing myself.

[purpletrousers]

So how far down the waiting list did they get???

Well according to one person on Twitter less than 100.  He claimed to be 100th in the queue and no invite.

I don't know if any were offered to the waiting list.  Maybe they wanted to put any wastage towards finding space for people prepared to stump up the Holte View premium?

[purpletrousers]

Yeah I saw that, and the premium Holte queue jumping I hadn’t thought about.

2/7/21  So my 2yo went on the list at 5months old. I regret not doing it sooner.

1/6/22 “number 12,553 on the waiting list currently”

7/9/22 Season tickets are sold out for the 22/23 season.  # 12136

11/22 told over 27k on w/list. (I forget what it’s up to now?)

24/4/23 email # 12,118 on list

Not happening soon is it!

Will update this with the new position if they send it out, presume they might now sold out?

[Drummond]

It was sent out in September last season..

[FatSam]

I haven’t been in a position to have a season ticket for the last few years, and won’t be for a couple more. For this reason I wasn’t in a rush to put my name down on the list. It was only when I saw that it was over 20k that I panicked and did so, and by that point I was down in the late twenties. Kicking myself that I didn’t just do it straight away, as it looks like it will now be a good while before I’m anywhere close.

Genuine question, is is free to join the queue for STs, or do they ask you to become a claret member or anything?
