I have often go on the ticket site to see what's available, put a few in my basket (where they stay for 20mins) then contacted family/friends to see if they want them, if not I empty the basket. I think this happens a lot as I often see seats disappear then become available again. Guess this...
I buy a fair few single tickets, as do quite a few ST holders I know when friends or family come to visit and want to come along - you just nab the nearest single seat to you. I expect they serve their own purpose to a particular set of purchasers.
Yep, but they've paid their money which they'll need to do each season, so I see it as they're entitled to wait and make their choice. I suppose that is especially relevant to you if you don't want any of those on offer.
Think Bozza has one of his children on the waiting list like I do, so not to do with being an existing ST holder. My daughter is around 2700 – so coming around a lot quicker than expected.
I suspect that the STs on offer might not suit those on the waiting list who are after a particular stand...
