Who are the 4%? We need to know.

Great numbers.......with 16,000 additional members too. Frustrating for the 7,000 on the waitlist though. Going to take years for those at the lower end to be able to get a ST.

Death rate in the UK is about 1% of the population annually I think, so we're only looking for the missing 3%

Unless we get relegated. Which we won't. Yes, it'll take years!

Given there will be a number of deaths each year plus people moving away (including younger folks going away to University) there will always be some natural churn in season ticket holders.

I know of 2, people not percent. [emoji16]

How many actual season ticket holders do we have ? 22k ?

Think that's right but not sure if it includes 1901 or not.

That's a shame. I'm sure there are other fans who would like to buddy-up.

I thought this. We should always be ready to buddy.

I think 23,000 including 1901 Club members, who strictly speaking are season ticket holders.

 

[Nixonator]

23k leaving around 15% capacity for match-day.

It everyone on that waiting list will actually take one. I’d wager those in the first 2000 will get a shot.

So I went on the waiting list in April last year and was positioned around 2200 at that point. I've been in the USA for work for the last 5 years (Army) and had to give up my season ticket when they sent me abroad. As of this week I'm now back in the UK for the foreseeable future...what do people think of my chances of getting one for next season as I assume a lot of the 2200 ahead of me got one for last season? When would I expect to hear if I'm offered one?

Guess if you call the club they can tell you your current position ?

I’d strongly recommend people NOT to give up a ST for Uni. My oldest lad is away at Uni overseas, and even he has made / will make 9 of the 19 home league games this season. That includes a couple of special trips home, but summer, Xmas and Easter holidays account for all the others. Now that you can get your money back for some of the others (if sold out) it’s surely a no-brainer to keep it?

How many actual season ticket holders do we have ? 22k ?

23,250 including 1901, with nearly 8,000 on the waiting list.

3,300 PL away allocation.

Leaving 4,200 for matchday tickets, the empty seats buffers from away fans, and players families/academy players.

Absolutely. Take a pal and upgrade the ticket a few times, get money back for the rest.........easy to hold onto it now. If you paid cash for the 9 games when he’s home you’d end up spending the cost of the ST anyway so may as well keep it.
