[Albion] Between 800 and 1000 new ST available for 2018/19

... but as ever, the message is confused - with “approx 800” being available and also “those positioned from 1-1000 will be entitled to...”. Which is it?

“Approximately 800 season tickets will be made available to supporters on the waiting list, and those positioned from number 1 to 1,000 will be entitled to purchase a season ticket for the 2018/19 season.”

Edit: Anyone know if the club have increased the number of seats allocated for ST for next season? It’s just that even 800 seems quite high, especially since the chances of PL football again being quite high (hush my mouth) is likely to keep at least some waverers on board...

It’s clearly the case that allowing the first 1,000 to access c800 seats will shift them all asnot all on the list at positions 1-1000 will take the opportunity due to a change in circumstances but clearly it’s less of a bun fight than opening it up to the full 8,000 or whatever it is.

I guess the list would have been compiled at the start of the season, and everyone given numbers then.
Some of that first 1,000 may have come off the list since then for various reasons?

The statement was prepared by the club’s new head of fans services, Diane Abbott.

1. Perhaps there are only 800 people, 'positioned 1 - 1,000' on the list? (i.e. maybe there are gaps where people have remove themselves from the list / been removed, for whatever reason)

2. Maybe its a marketing trick. Make 800 tickets available to 800 people and they'll dither over whether to take them up. Make 800 seats available to 1000 people on a 'get them while they're there' basis, and they'll rush to commit.

800 out of 22000 ST ticket holders is 3.6% and the club announced 96% ST renewals, so spot on



Or the idiot that issued the club announcement on the Palace ID requirements, before it was corrected at least twice to correct convey the message

1. Today's apostrophe lesson: The one in "there's" is correct. It denotes a missing letter or letters. The one in "JCL's" is not. It neither denotes a missing letter, nor possession. "Ain't" should probably read "aren't", but we'll leave that one.

2. There are lots more than 800 people waiting. This is how many seats are available.

3. There is no reason to suppose that all new STH will be people 'not really bothered'. There will be kids only now old enough to go regularly. People whose financial situation has changed. People who have moved back to the area. And yes, some new fans.

4. Nobody cares what phone you have.

I don't understand your point then?

You thought more would cancel?

I am number 565 on waiting list, that hasn’t changed. If you take off the 200 or so that we’re sold last season, 800 is correct. I spoke with someone in the ticket office and I am really 565 minus last season’s sales.
