Just checking that it still the case?

DD for years and haven't actually done anything manually to renew, it still just auto renews?

Got an email in Dec about renewals window by mid Feb and "renew ST" on official site is just to pay in lump sum.

I'm assuming by doing nothing at all I'm in that 95%?

Yes, you’re all set for next season.

Silly old bat
Can't say I'm surprised. We're still into unknown territory with the potential to get even better.

But I think the main reason is a fantastic decision from the club from first moving in to allow payment by DD over a year, and then another one by PBOBE to refund and adjust during Covid. It makes it far more affordable and allows people to be opted in, rather than opted out.

If I'd had to lump sum renew in March I wouldn't have gone to Rome (or else I would have and then not renewed).

I know you can stick the equivalent each month into a savings account instead but then you'd still have to remember to renew and have the discipline not to touch the savings.
The ticket exchange helps me. When we first got to the Amex, if you missed more than 6 games a season, you had it removed.
Now, if either of us is unwell, we can put our tickets on the exchange, and the club gets more money.

MA+ member here who started going to games last season and is currently on 167 points having attended a healthy mix of home and away and league and cup matches.

With the caveat that the club made clear it would give preference to those members who attended more home league matches this season, is anyone else surprised to be ineligible for the first (and probably only) priority window?

Sorry to make the first post a whinge :ban: UTA

Welcome.

"MyAlbion+ members will be given priority access to the very small number of remaining season tickets that will now become available for next season, with priority windows to be confirmed in the coming weeks."

That does seem a bit odd... have they published the thresholds?

No, but a little birdie, potentially the red billed variety, told me what the threshold (singular) was.

As it happens, I wouldn't have been able to close the home league match attendance gap in the time between when the policy was announced and the priority window opened (tomorrow).

I have not heard of anyone unable to buy a ST in last 2 seasons. Are you saying they wont let you buy a ST.

There is a priority window for Albion+ members who have attended the most home league games this season. They get first dibs on new season tickets. They will then go on sale to all other Albion+ members at a later date (should any remain).

Not sure what demand will be like for the first priority window. My youngest son is in that group and I know what seat we want to get him so I’m being Billy Wizz when getting logged in tomorrow morning.

Am I correct in saying that I have to now be a My Albion+ member to even have a chance of becoming a season ticket holder again?

Yes indeed

Firstly those Members with a decent attendance record, then all Members (subject to availability).

Good luck! Hoping some are left over after this window closes but not counting on it.

There is a person very near us that only attended 2 games and never put on exchange. Am I able to look up to see if he renewed for next season.

Where did you see about this? When I look on the season ticket page it comes up briefly saying I am in priority one and can buy at 9am tomorrow, then the page disappears... I don't recall hearing anything about this.

I have 320 points so thought P1 would be likely, but a bit surprised 167 isn't tbh.
