Season ticket waiting list

Not yet , we are a few years away yet . If we get relegated crowds will drop to 40k immediately with 10k season ticket holders less .

Would look hideous
Who cares man 😂😂 if we wait until a certain point just glossing over the fact we need the extra income to become the side you’re saying we need to wait to do so you not see the issue?. We could stay up for ten seasons extend have a bad season and go down what then? We waited till we were established etc. it’s proper wild people are worried what it may look like if we don’t stay up who cares.
 

Dear supporter,



Following the launch of phase one of season ticket sales to the waiting list, we are changing our approach for the next phase of sales.



We have a number of season tickets available, although a lot of the seats are in various configurations and locations and to make the process easier for supporters the Ticket Office will be contacting them directly. This way we can assist with supporting family groups and the different types of requirements supporters need.



We will start making contact from Monday 27th April and start from the beginning of the waiting list of supporters that did not purchase season tickets during phase one.



Season tickets may periodically become available, so the contact process may take place over several weeks.



Thank you for your support.

Phase One 😂

Did it even happen? I hope they're actually allowing displaced former corporate people first priority.
wtf what could go wrong here😂 we can’t even do a smooth roll out of season card sales without pissing people off, making it look like it’s sold out only for it to come out the above. We really suck at this side of the club. I get the feeling toss a few people off this forum in there they’d organise it better.
 
So whoever has season tickets now and bought phase 1 are fine and it’s your ticket now. And some more are become available is that correct yeah ?
 
Got that same message myself
Whole process just seems bizarre
I'm in phase 2 so it might be why but, I've had absolutely zero in terms of emails from the club around all of this - I checked to make sure my emails/marketing preferences were all enabled because I was wondering why the radio silence.

How do you know if you are in phase 2?

I joined the list a while ago and never really got any updates.

Did everyone get this email today?

Phase One 😂

I’m so confused, what are they doing :lol: why take the tickets off when they’re selling pretty well, just to enact this random rule an hour or two into your sale.

Why not do this from the start if that’s your plan?

The free for all worked out well for me so I can’t complain. But the ticket office are a proper mess aren’t they.

Yeah. I'd be canny angry if I wanted one.
 
I thought there was something going on the way they abruptly stopped the sale and there was no further announcements from the club. The articles in the Echo and putting it out in the public domain must have struck a cord with someone in the club at at higher level than the ticket office. Hopefully any tickets left go to the right people firstly those who wanted to move from corporate
Most of the seats left when they stopped the sale were in the lower bowl in the first few rows and a few pairs at the back of the Concourse. But the way the club pulls extra seats out of the hat you never know. The might release some of the corporate sponsors seats that never get used
RAWA asked them to pause the next phase to sort out the people coming out of corporate.
We don't need more seats. After half time on Friday there were thostands of empty seats left by people who didn't want to support them!

I think loads didn’t even know there was a sale on (I’m not sure I would if it wasn’t for this place) as they didn’t advertise it properly. A mate missed it completely and was asking me yesterday when they were on sale for example. As they didn’t really advertise it/ send out many emails/ communication was lacking.

They also promised one thing (chronological order) and randomly decided to do a free for all (I signed up a few hours before the random deadline they had for phases for example - So would never of got two together if they’d done it in order I reckon)

Then there’s the corporate situation.

But having said all of that. If you pick how you’re going to sell them, stick to that deadline, and start the sale you can’t just hoy them off after an hour or two and rip up the script imo.

Well I’ve still not obtained a ST for next season, trying to downgrade from corporate. My box seat has been taken by one of the other box holders, who’s taking an extra, so they aren’t even losing any money if I downgrade.

the “cloak and dagger” approach the club are taking, not communicating with RAWA is very concerning (for my situation)
