Since 1980 27 Posted February 20, 2020 Regardless of which league we're in next season I'm thinking of getting a season ticket. Two questions:- 1. Is there a waiting list? 2. What happens if I can't make a match? I assume I can give my ticket to a friend? Or if the game happens to be a sell out and the club could sell my seat to someone else do they reimburse anything or is it just a case of tough luck? Many thanks.

Since 1980 27 Posted February 20, 2020 TIL1010, thanks for your reply. 1 makes sense. 2 doesn't, too many variables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East Rider 548 Posted February 20, 2020 If we stay up there may well be a waiting list but certainly not if relegated. If we stay up (and you get a season ticket) you will have no problem selling it/giving it away. If we are relegated, you will probably struggle to sell it/give it away unless we are on course for promotion. I have twice put mine through the ticket office whilst in the championship to sell on (you get a fiver per ticket I believe) but they have not sold them.

It’s only been 2 months since I contacted them and got message they will call back when a rep is available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,511 Posted February 20, 2020 There may not be many available. It's getting towads the end of February and we haven't had any of the usual threads about people not renewing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a number who couldn't be bothered to turn up for the Liverpool game, perhaps they will not renew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Attendance was 27,110, so about 130 free seats in the entire stadium. I would suggest the availability would be generally slim, especially if you want a couple together, but best of luck to you OP 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malham Canary 0 Posted February 21, 2020 When is the date that you can swap your season ticket to another part of the ground fancy moving from the snake pit to the lower Barclay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no date for “movers” week and hasn’t been for a while. I moved my seat last season from Snakepit to Barclay. Just contact the club and they will tell you what is available at the end of the season ticket windows. I suggest you do that asap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True. I believe virtually all clubs at least in the PL include all season ticket holders and complementary tickets sold whether they turn up or not. Due to advance notice for safety planning I understand. Why they then do not give the real attendance is probably down to wanting to projecting the club in the best light possible. Arsenal were highlighted in having many thousands less in the ground than advertised, as were that lot down the road I believe. Season before last in August we would often quote 26/27k in the ground when it was clear there were many seats empty. Made us laugh anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
