The fellow I sit next to told me yesterday there is a waiting list of over 1,000 for season ticket seats.
Who would have thought it 2 years ago?
Amazing!

Think it's poor that the lot across the road can do radio ads,billboard & telephone-box ads for their s/t renewals ,whilst we can't get out one mail shot for ours. Was hoping the poor marketing days were behind us after learning a lesson when we had 30000+ people on a database after we went to Wembley & never followed up those leads.

To be fair it's not like people won't notice their renewal is due in the same way that they would with TV licenses, insurance, council tax etc.
That said there will be a fair amount of people waiting out for a renewal notice as opposed to going to renew actively, especially those who aren't 'tech savvy'

Listening to the phone in Saturday afternoon it sounds like their marketing hasn't worked as many saying they won't be renewing. Or was that Yeovil? Or Swindon?

To be fair too, all 30,000+ wouldn't have been on the database. I know someone who bought 12. Most people who bought one would have bought for at least one, I'd have thought?

Massive queue after game yesterday indicates the marketing is working fine! Still a great deal with the extra freebies too. Asked what prices will rise to but ladies in shop said they didn't know. Don't get caught out people!

Chippenhamgas. Just making a factually correct point. If the demand for seats at the mem is so high why are there ALWAYS empty seats in the south and south west stand?

Atmosphere, facilities and location. The south stand is down there with the away fans distanced from the energy at the other end of the pitch. Also, you can really tell it's temporary.
As a result it has a bit of a stigma. Almost certainly the waiting list is for East/Wesy stands.

If the demand for seats at the mem is so high why are there ALWAYS empty seats in the south and south west stand? Because of our old friends from health and safety. It's only recently that the required facilities now allow us to sell them out. That is of course if people want season tickets down there next season. Remember, we were told that the new South West stand was only for walk ups on the day.

There may be empty seats in the south stand, but having tried to buy some recently, I can assure you there are very few unpaid for seats.

just something that's been bothering me a bit following this thread for a few days but.... why would anyone need a letter sent through the post to 'remind' them that they need to renew their season ticket?

Because people who have south stand seats walk into the west stand enclosure for better view. If you ever go in the south stand you would know just how easy it is. But good on you for yet again putting a negative on a positive....

What is the date you have to renew by to get the bargain of the year to watch the gas next season ?
