Haven't they added some extra seats ?
Thanks for that, just had a look. See the seats behind me are up for grabs. Some decent seats available and an awful lot in 31H which I imagine will be the last to go being right next to the away fans.
2000 more seats have gone in haven't they?
We had 23,000 ST holders so 8% is 1840. We have 2,000+ new seats going in so the balance can come from them.

So back to my OP.
Not many in the waiting list wanted a ST.

Having a choice from 2,700 available seats isn’t necessarily the same as saying there are 2,700 season tickets unsold.

How soon is now?
Do the club still have to make a certain number of seats available to non STH's for every game, and obviously there is an away allocation to consider
Good thinking. Once x number sold rest kept for match day tickets
Combination of factors really.....
-almost certainly more seats available to be bought given the extra seating capacity
-people unwilling to go back to crowded environments yet
-club might have increased numbers (% of total) available to be held as season tickets
-economic situation for many
-****ing VAR sucking the life out of watching PL football
-no more 'passing tickets' between people without the sharing being signed up for
-sadly lost more than a few to Covid I suspect
Doubt we're in any different position to any other club......and the number on the waiting list was always a bit mythical. Probably nowhere near as high as some claimed.

I rang up on Monday and asked if my son could have a season ticket near to us in the North Stand and they had a spare directly in front of our seats.
I was a bit shocked as they are the cheapest seats going and had been on sale since Friday before

1100 available in E1G and E1H... I thought they used to keep these for away fans in the FA Cup? Has the 15% away allocation changed?

Just logged on and the seat next to me was available, so I got it for my son, cheapest seats in the West Upper so thought it would have been snapped up. I was going to defer his place on the waiting list until next year, but as that seat was available it made sense to get it now.
That area got changed around recently and the existing family area down there got moved elsewhere (much to the annoyance of people that sat there). There's a permanent barrier in that corner now separating home and away fans (under the sky box).
So how do they make up the 15% (~4800) ?

I gave up my ST this summer (genuinely through my hatred of VAR) after 27 years and as some of you know am going to watch my real 'local' side in Shoreham from August.
I still got the same email offering another ST even after not renewing and even though the 92% take up is pretty impressive, I was surprised as anybody to hear the waiting list seems to have disappeared completely. I'm sure though most games will sell out as there will always be people buying match to match tickets which ironically should net the club more as they are effectively more expensive (pro-rata), and I for one will still buy the odd one occasionally. Just because I'm going to watch non-league footy next season doesn't diminish my interest in the Albion but I can't wait for August to arrive and start supporting the non league scene again.
Hopefully everybody who now wants a ST at the Amex should be able to get one and the rest will undoubtedly go on a match by match basis, so fully expect crowds at capacity next season.

They go across the south stand; only season tickets offered there are in S1G and S1H. S1A-S1F are all potentially for away fans.

I've just noticed the seat next to me in East Upper is for sale again. For more than two seasons I've had random people sit next to me. Some never came back for the second half. No idea why

The numbers on the season ticket waiting list always came from Paul Barber, 8,000 as at December 2019.

Folk had to pay a deposit to be on the list, presumably to show intent, weeding out time-wasters.

Interesting, so @Lamie Robertson sometimes left at half time, no doubt when the team was losing. Lightweight.
