Surely they’ll got to the people on the waiting list?

Is this sensible given many STHs don’t or can’t turn up each game? Better to sell to sets of fans on a match by match basis? One of the most unappealing things about ST culture is you can’t watch occasional matches with friends (or even watch with friends if you become a STH)

I've just had a look. Quite a few season tickets on sale in all areas. I don't think the waiting list is a thing anymore.

What waiting list? Anyone can just go in and grab one as far as l know.

Season tickets have been on general sale since May. (But there’s more for sale this season given the increased capacity )

Many ? I’m very lucky to have a ST but I try to go to nearly every game. Why wouldn’t I ? . Last year I went to 18 home games missing just one due to covid. If I couldn’t - I wouldn’t buy a season ticket.
I actually like going and will plan my weekend around it. I know. The very idea !
And if I can’t go I share it with my sons or my wife. Who are Albion + members and I pay the sharing fee (if I have to ) or upgrade the ticket. (My sons ticket is a u21) .
I’m sure I’m not the only one. The idea that ST holders buy tickets that in the end they can’t use is inevitable for 1-2 games a season but if it’s a lot more than that - why have one ?

On here - a lot! . I really do sympathise - for all sorts of reasons , a season ticket is not for some people. Although the club have sold 20K+ again this year. And it’s been harder in the last few years to attend every game for the reasons you cite. Fair enough. but if it’s not practical to get to games most weeks - through no fault of your own , - then why buy a season ticket then…?
So I’m struggling - if that’s the case - with arguments that a ST should be made even better vfm for those that don’t or can’t use it. And that’s what most ST holders want.

I believe there is a waiting list. It’s just that those on the list are waiting for the opportunity to sit next to/close by friends in areas not yet up for grabs. Makes sense I suppose. My daughter and grandson were incredibly lucky and got two STs in the West Upper last year just ten seats from me - which means I have to buy more beers pre and post match now!
On 20 Dec 2019 PB confirmed there were 8,000 on the ST waiting list.
Who would’ve thought then, that despite our best top flight football ever, the list has been to all intents wiped out.
All started by a microbe from China, finished off by a lack of money.

Only 7,998 to account for, I took the offer of applying for season tickets after being on the list for a few years
Prior to Covid these were rolling around 2,000 a season so guess this is why there was such movement

You had to buy the Albion + do get on the list, funnily enough after a couple of months or so I was offered a ST despite being 7000 something on the list. Maybe there was a list maybe there wasn’t who knows

I was on the ST waiting list, about 4 years ago? and had to pay a deposit/registration fee. Done purportedly to weed out timewasters.

Imagine
There never were 8000 people on the waiting list. Since it opened and people were successful in getting ticket the numbers were never updated or re-issued, and if there has been a churnover of even 200 a season non renewers that 8000 list would have some mighty big holes in it, my Grandson was 7000 odd when he was offered one.
2 things at play here, people on the list don't want a Season ticket- they want a specific seat for a friend or family member and are waiting for it to be available and it is a bloody good marketing tool, scarcity creates demand and puts people off relinquishing their ticket for fear of not getting one again.
I missed three last season - one for Covid, one for holiday and one for the utterly stupid Boxing Day match. I've never bothered to work out if it would have been cheaper to buy separate match tickets rather than an ST purely because I couldn't be bothered to go to the effort to do it for every match I'd like to attend. Instead I know I can just turn up to the ones I can / want to without any hassle. How many I get to this coming season I have no idea but even if it's only half then I'm happy with an ST rather than trying to buy on a match by match basis.
