Your call is very important to us!

“Please wait for the next available agent, you are caller number 34 in the queue. Please hold.”

Obviously not important enough to have sufficient agents on duty to deal with Season Ticket waiting list respondents.

It’s a good point well made absolutely everything at the club has gone to sh1t

Yes I paid the money to go on the waiting list. Today starting at 0930 is when you can call the Ticket Office to see what can be offered. I called at 0930. It is now 1010 and I still waiting, “caller number 7 in the queue.”

Im very tempted, not had one for a few years - let me know how you get on

[Wibble 109]

Do you think if I joined the waiting list now i could get one or is it too late ?

[shefcanary 2,441]

On Bailey's podcast last night, someone commented that he joined the wait list in December and got offered a season ticket last week! So the wait list has certainly almost disappeared.

[kenfoggo 247]

Call started at 0930 and finished at 1030. I got a season ticket for next season and waiting list deposit returned. Very helpful lady that I spoke to on the ticket line said that she had lots of seats still available and pretty much in all areas of the ground. I got exactly the seat I wanted down to the stand, row, seat number.

Do you get £50 off your ticket then?

[kenfoggo 247]

I paid the ticket cost and then they refunded the £50 waiting list deposit.

It was exactly the same last summer though. I went on the waiting list mid-season and was offered a ticket as soon as the season ended. 

I believe this could be because they close the waiting list when it's still quite small. Instead of adding to the list ad infinitum and then calling those on the list in chronological order, which is the logical thing to do in my opinion, they just close the waiting list when it gets to a certain amount. There doesn't appear to be a waiting list for the waiting list, which seems harsh on people who can't get on it.

From people I know on the list, getting an individual ticket right now is easily doable for next season. If you want two or more together then good luck

There’s definitely a waiting list. Those on it were emailed last week.

That’s not a huge surprise - getting tickets together for casual sale is rather difficult.

That's the reason there's always a waiting list. Generally people on the list want season tickets together, and most often they are only relinquished individually (through death, illness or just deciding not to renew). As such, demand always outstrips what the club are able to supply.

No it’s not! If you’re on the ball and not fussy where you sit you could have got ten seats together at general sale.

That is not true. I know several people who had to compromise on their home match first pick as members, just so they could get 3 seats together, and those picks are made before the season starts.

It’s very true, have a look at the Blackpool match. Lots of rows of seven seats in the South Stand.

Only because Blackpool returned allocation and the club have only just put them back up for sale to Norwich fans.

The rest of the entire ground you'll struggle to get 2 tickets together.

Most decent Championship games we don't get that returned allocation because the away team takes it.

Again not true, don’t assume and actually have a look. If you’re not fussy where you sit you’ll get the seats together.

I have looked. There's a few two-seats-together if you sit behind a pole and don't want to watch the match, but that is it. And that has been the case in the Prem, not just the Champs

Last season when we were in the Premier League and I didn't have a season ticket, I tried to get a pair of tickets together for me and my dad on nine or ten occasions. We got a pair every time, in various parts of the ground, so I'd say your assessment is pretty much spot on.

Got 6 together for the Sheff Utd match as soon as they went on general sale. No pole obstructing the view either. Biggest attendance of the season I think too.

I think it’s meant to come off the price of the s-t.  My son is on the waiting list but I’m not sure I have the time to queue for several hours - he will just have to make do with casual tickets again.
