Just the point that agreeing that the renewal rate for season tickets and to a lesser extent 1901 renewals was as Barber put it in April - remarkable - was fair comment
given the pandemic .
It wasn’t a comment on the sharing scheme or why people this season have paid for tickets but haven’t...
For any business to bounce back almost immediately post Lockdown with c100% of demand versus admittedly 105% of supply - if you like is probably worth a “remarkable” but then of course this was PB in April.
But yep there’s enough signs there now (no sell outs yet, empty seats due to stay at...
I don't know what the benchmark for renewing a 5 year premium ticket contract but i'd say 80% plus given the circumstances is also pretty high.
As for Barber spin - i think he's just acknowledging pretty fairly after the economic and health turmoil we've been through that actually the demand...
Its not the same but i'm pleased the club have followed through on their commitment at the height of Covid to give away 1000 tickets to NHS workers and keyworkers.
In fact they topped it up to 1500 tickets throughout this season (21/22)...

As to whether it will open for Brentford. Well it might. Its a boxing day game. I expect more games to sell out now as get further into the season...
Its my reading of their Terms

how you do it with mobile tickets - i've no idea. They don't make it very clear on their website.
I'd have to rely on a Saints fan to come on here and tell us how it actually works...
Not sure any club can get away with charging what they like. Albion like Southampton froze season ticket prices this season.
And they are different in some ways...
Southampton have a bar / cafe - a bit like Dicks Bar. But it costs £99 a season to gain entry.
Seat transfers - when renewing STs...
My Dad spoke to him after a fans forum once and asked about access to his seat. He is less mobile than he used to be. Barber arranged for one of the supporter service team to ring him up (the next day) and discuss options to help him. He (is 84) and he was also one of the hundreds of older fans...
