2,000 people on season ticket waiting list vs 42 not renewing

[KJP]

How many people are on the waiting list? The ticket office told me it's about 3,000, but 3,000 what? Because they don't take names/numbers of seats you want, they take 1 name and then when the time comes that name is offered up to 4 tickets.

So do we actually have about 750 names on a list, which is up to 3,000 season tickets (more likely 1,500), or do we actually have 3,000 on a list, which would be more like 6,000 season tickets?

I'd have thought most people on the list who have mates that also want a ticket would probably have given them the idea to put their own names on the list

Perhaps someone, more clever than I am, can start a poll of NSC members as to their intention to renew or otherwise.

That would perhaps be a most interesting statistic as it would demonstrate whether or not the figure quoted on another thread is likely to be realistic or otherwise!

I, for one, will certainly be renewing.

The 42 probably includes people who are banned from the Amex

42 sounds unrealistic.

Each fan number - asked the ticket office the other day.

Thanks 8ace - sorry my lack of research

You think there's 3,000 fan numbers on the waiting list, even though many of those are after more than 1 ticket? ie, if a couple or family goes into the ticket office and asks to be put on the list, they only take one fan number.

Well, if they want a season ticket they need a fan number - and it shows up on your purchases on the online ticket website if you are on the website. Most people would have probably been to at least 1 game anyway, so should have an account.

They can give you a fan number the day they give you a season ticket.

How many people asking to be put on the list want a single ticket for themselves? I'd have thought a fair chunk will be after a ticket for themselves + friend or partner etc, so I'm quite shocked if there are 3,000 names on the list.

If it turns out to be that, like 3 ST and only 1 person is on the waiting list - cant see how thats fair on anyone else. If a group want to sit together, you all go on the list together. Wouldnt of thought what they told me was wrong, but then ive been told stuff which was wrong by them before.

FWIW I think you're right Hawk.

I am told that I am around 450 on the waiting list and I want a single ST, my fingers are crossed!

Well either you were told wrong, or I was. I'm after a pair of tickets, and they only wanted to put my name down. They said that would cover me for 4 tickets, I just needed to decide when the time comes.

Maybe I'll have to get them to email me to check.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

I did go in the City Centre office though, have been told a load of crap in there before. Ill send an e-mail now as im not going to be near the Amex for a while.

 

[Fungus]

FWIW, I rang the club today to cancel my season ticket, and asked if there had been many others. But I don't know if "a few" means more or less than 42 in this case.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

I'm one of those 2000

I'm surpised it's only 2000 to be honest. When I joined it back in August, I was told it was already getting near 1000, and I'd have thought that as we've been doing so well it would be closer to 4000. Maybe I'm being too optimistic though

The club site says 3,000
