Season Tickets - 2024/25

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

That’s loads of our fans but it doesn’t reflect the balance of posts on this thread, in recent pages. It’s simple if Blues can’t get to the game, either transfer on your ticket or list it on the ticket exchange.

That I do agree with with but your sample is tiny. A few posters on a Bluemoon thread is hardly representative of much.

I’d be interested in the “Club” publishing which games have not sold out
And detailing how many tickets remained unsold
And also reporting how many sold tickets all criteria were actually scanned for each game
That way we can all see how big a issue we have regarding no show no transfers etc
They must have this data and surely used such analysis in the business case for going ahead with the North Stand expansion

Fair point. Most of the peole I sit with are diehards. One of them lives in Hertfordshire so he can’t make all the games but he offers tickets for sale in our WhattsApp Group and Steve also uses the Ticket Exchange

Have there been any games not sold out this season?

The "Club" (why the quotes marks?) aren't going to publish the rest of those details I suspect, they have no reason to.

That’s my point

Thought this was all about transparency

I’d assume that transferring it to friends and family would count to your ticket being used too.

As long as the the ticket is actually used to access the stadium, I presume.

Ahh, if you meant it for @Alex - City Matters then you need to tag them or quote one of their posts, they're possibly not going to see it otherwise.

I’ve just been chatting to one delighted Mum in our Supporters Club whose 2 lads have flexi gold season cards for next season. They are overjoyed. It’s great that the Colin are getting plenty of young Blues back on the season card ladder.

Thanks I will forward via the email link I saw earlier
When quoting “ the club “
Didn’t really mean City Matters but get it to be the right channel to get the question on the right table
My problem is we are so f ing big i haven’t a clue who you need to or indeed who the right people are to get to anymore
In contrast if I had the same questions for Stalybridge Celtic id cross the road enter the ground knock on the chairman’s door or go round to his house and ask how many season ticket holders didn’t turn up on Saturday and he’d probably give me a list with their names and addresses lol

@Alex - City Matters as an over 65 please may I ask what the proposed phone line for over 65s is for? If it is because someone thinks we can’t handle the technology I would feel patronised. If it is to counter long queues I would feel that wasn’t fair to every other group. We are all City fans one has to queue we all have to queue. Again patronising to over 65s.
We may be getting older but we are still in the human race.
As I tell everyone when I see photos of John Boy in Gucci *faints dead away* I may be old but I ain’t dead yet.
In other words please treat us as everyone else is treated, apart from letting us have a reduced price SC because we really couldn’t afford a full price one no matter what a lot of people think. :-)
JMHO as an Over 65, a SC holder, an OSC member, a disabled member and a woman. Wow I’m well represented aren’t I ? :-)

I work in a call centre EB and there's probably a 50/50 spit between us older folk who either have no trouble with technology and those who are terrified when I ask something like "what browser are you using". I think the phone line for older folk who need it is a good idea although quite how they would limit it just to them I'm not certain.

I understand where you’re coming from @Centurions and my thought was also how do they limit or monitor phone lines. It’s a strange one because yes I know some older people don’t have all the technical know how and some do but being an older person who doesn’t like admitting I’m old I hate feeling patronised! I’m strange I know and my kids are always telling me I’m too sensitive about it.
The main problem I guess is the limiting and monitoring.
Maybe I could be classed as playing Devil’s Advocate!!! ;-) :-) (that could get me off the hook of being a moaning old codger!) :-)

Season tickets are win win for me. The club gets a seat filled for 19 matches a season and the fan attends at a discount as match by match is more expensive.

We’re in a more extreme situation of demand outstripping supply but all clubs push season tickets and always have.

They certainly shared it with us when I was on the Ticketing sub-group. I don't see why they need to share it wider than that. Some of the figures for no-shows were jaw-dropping.

You could argue that it suits the club to sell on seats that someone isn't going to use but I'd also argue that it widens access to seats to fans, if we have a few thousand seats available. Hence why we worked closely with the club to ensure that there was good communication around the options and to make the Ticket Exchange offering better.

I’ll pass this onto Michael Ash, who’s the Over 65s representative, as it was his suggestion I believe and he is closer to the detail. Let me get back to you.

I have just sacked 93.20 off after many years and have relocated from 222 to block 123 - arguably a better seat (not got padding but who cares) and saved myself over £500 a year.

City Matters statement regarding ticket prices.

So it looks like another small raise next season and then I guess there might be a price review as they try and shift tickets for the new North Stand.

Good news about concessionary pricing though.
