I don't think so, the places I've been to it's pretty much just rails bolted onto the seats that were there.
-
The only one I made a profit on was the Dolphins game and it's almost certainly Miami fans who bought them, surely touting is OK if you're making a profit from your rivals?
-
It’s a bit lazy for people to keep mentioning the bad buys when making these comparisons. It also pays for a CHO. Or nearly half a Murillo etc. we aren’t guaranteed good signings by keeping ticket prices lower and signing less.
I hope a few more become available as zones 1 and 2 aren’t bad value at all compared to what I’ve paid this season for match day tickets.
-
Happy to say any player in there as the point is still it makes fuck all difference th extra couple of kill they get compared to fucking everyone off.
I guess there will be people who want a season ticket for the first time now we are in the Prem (maybe) and are happy that folks will be priced out.
(Who's the best supporter klaxon alert)
I'm not really price sensitive so, but I feel sorry for 18/19 year olds who are.
-
Another thought, no guarantee the non renewed season tickets will be sold to the waiting list.
More revenue from leaving them as match day sales.
And having a long waiting list, like a queue outside a nightclub, drums up interest
-
Good (annoying) point. They'd be better off not doing so as you say.
-
23% increase for me. £465 - £570. £30 a game in the Premier League. Under £25 a game in the Championship.
Actually quite good value.
Shame I have to pay for my sons as well...
-
They can’t have a waiting list and not release some tickets to it, assuming there are some non-renewers.
-
Why not?
With 10k on it and presumably growing, everyone will assume someone else has got one/there were very few releases.
Noone is allowed to know where they are on the list, so it's not like number 1 person can make a fuss cos they didn't get one.
-
Do people on the waiting list know where they are? Would seem unreasonable not to tell them.
-
From the FAQ. I don't actually think there is an order to it, seems like it will be a free for all, who can log on at the right time process if any do go on sale.
Is this a ranked Season Card Waiting List?
No, this is not a ranked Season Card Waiting List, and no supporter will hold a defined position. Please refrain from contacting us to request what position you are in, as this is only a list for supporters to register a firm interest in obtaining a Season Card in the future, should any become available.

Blimey. Those people are just paying in the hope we get a new stand or new ground, aren’t they? Does mean that the club will have to publicise if and when tickets are released to the waiting list. If there haven’t been any in a couple of years, people are going to notice
-
Disappointed higher levels of membership don't get priority over randoms. oh well.
-
It seems to me the most benefit accrued to Forest in being able to drive price increases by incumbents fear of size of waiting list.
Benefits to people on the list, not so much.
Arsenal's list is ranked and when you get to the top you are offered chance to buy
Wonder how many of the 10k on our list thought that is what they were signing up to?
Oh, and the £10 admin fee, £100k total for a list of names and addresses.

I don't think they'll do that, for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, to your point about the increase in ticket prices not making a material difference to the club's budget, this would be even less so. If a season ticket averages to £600 and 19 individual tickets to £1000, and we assume a 10% ST churn rate of which all are converted to individual match tickets, you'd net £400 x 2000 = £800K, or in Talkback terms a little over three Andersons, and that really isn't worth the risk of the PR disaster if they get caught.
Secondly, and even more relevantly, it's just plain bad business practice. No one passes up a subscription customer in exchange for the possibility of making multiple individual sales, because subscription customers are much stickier, are highly likely to renew, and cost far less to retain than new customers cost to acquire. To take your suggestion to its logical end, if it were more lucrative to sell match tickets then someone (probably Chelsea) would years ago have scrapped season tickets altogether.

It doesn’t say members won’t have any priority.
