1901 Seat Licenses Wanted

[Wozza]

I want to move from 1901 at the end of this period and get a season ticket elsewhere instead but the club have told me that I have to join behind the current 7,000 on the waiting list... for which I also have to pay to join each season! So no sort of preferential treatment for loyalty and supporting the club. *

Blimey.

Baffling response.

Exactly. So I emailed both supporters services and 1901 and got the same response... despite having a season ticket but in 1901. Words fail me.

have you just the one ticket and which area ?

Two in the West middle. Both platinum tickets in the Wynne Baxter lounge.

Regular STs have a window when they can move. Seems unfair if this is not applied to 1901s as well. Is this correct?

Not really unless you just want to give up your 1901 seat and not sell it - when you sell the seat licence you are also selling the right for the new owner to buy a season ticket, hence jumping the queue.

That is truly shit customer service. Email Barber for an in depth explanation of such a jobsworth solution?

I would be very interested in how he tries to justify it. Why the hell should a Premium member have to go to the back of the queue to move to another area?

Could this be because 1901 STs are corporate and not allocated to an individual- just guessing

But it is allocated to me, in my name. Not a company. It was bought by me as an individual. So guess again.

A lot (most?) are allocated to an individual, just like a ST everywhere else in the ground.

If #BarberOut's plan is to whittle down the number of individuals in 1901 in order to maximise true corporate take-up, putting those individuals who want to move out at the back of the ST queue seems a very strange way to go about it!

I can see a justification if, for example, you sell your ticket to someone who isn’t on the waiting list and then you get to move elsewhere. Not saying I agree, but some might deem this unfair. But if you swop at the end of the 5 years and hand the ticket back to the club, surely there’s no argument?

It all depends on how you want to “move out”. If the 1901 licence is transferred to another individual then so is the season ticket. Surrendering the seat at the end of the 5 year licence period would be different and the seat holder would have a good case, (IMO), to claim a ST elsewhere in the ground.

If current licence holders were entitled to have a ST in another area when selling their licence they could, (taking it to extremes), transfer the 1901 seat to a mate who could transfer it again and again. Each transfer would result in an additional ST being granted.

Yep - that makes sense.

Ok, a question, not a guess. What did it explicitly say in the T&C’s about your options when not renewing your 1901?

 

[Bill Cassidy's tie up]

I bought two 1901 Platinum lifetime £2,000. Was given all the spill at the time. How fans at other clubs could ask £10,000 for their tickets in the Premier. I would not want to sell anyway but it's all b.llocks. When the renewal came up last time I did say I might change to two season tickets and was told that l would have to go on the waiting list. I,ve got seven mates who have moved from WSU to ESU with no hassle. (Age related).

Just struggling to make it to the games this season due to a change of circumstance and weekend commitments.
