Season Card Reservations/Relocations Direct Debit update 11/6

just a bit of info where we are waiting list wise
my lad got his letter yesterday saying what number he is on the list - 9750
he only joined two weeks or so ago so not at 10,000 unless 250 have joined subsequently

I have bought 3 in 93:20 - 207. Anyone used to sitting there able to comment on quality of the view please?

I keep seeing comments that st sales are slow. How can anyone possibly discern that unless they work for the club? As far as I understand we're still working through the waiting list.

If its based on the number of seats available then that's a very misleading guide as there are 50,000 plus seats in the stands and even if we get to 43 or 44k season ticket holders (where I think City will stop further sales) it will still appear that there are many seats left.

Could it be they had started working through the list when he went on and some had gone, just a thought, because like you I thought people had said it was just over 10000 a couple of weeks ago.

Utd used to have 10 Million on their waiting list!

Could be. More likely a ball park figure that people latch on to.

If the North Stand gets the go-ahead, the waiting list will be very confusing. We'll be a no 10,000 and so, but the numbers will no longer reflect the number of people waiting.

If extra season card sales are slow then this is a result of the Club's policy fairness over rushing out headlines about record ticket sales. The 500 people a day offered tickets from the waiting list and existing card holders given priority on relocation is evidence of this.

We will be able to announce record season card sales and income by the time the transfer window opens at the end of the month.

As DD has said, the Club is being astute in maximising sales. They may have chosen to sell more season cards than first planned because the cheaper ones got sold first and current sales are generating more income e.g. From mid range tickets - up to £750.

I had a phone call and an email(email on P222) from some fella called Dominic regarding Premium seats.
Rang him back on Friday to buy 2 in block 210.Some other fella spoke to me to take my details and he would get "Dom" to ring me back on Monday.
Said he'd spent most of the week showing groups of fans round the available seating,I asked him how they were selling and his words were "we've been a lot busier than we anticipated"......yes,could of been a blag to push me into buying,but I'd already told the lad i was ringing to buy.

I was 8392 on the waiting list.

If the waiting list got up to say 9,800 and we have a couple of hundred newbies on Premia that didn't go on the WL then the 10,000 figure could be very close to the mark.

I am talking 10k new demand rather than WL!

When I confirmed my seats in 209 the City at Home people had some Blues to show round the lounges and Premia so the advice you received could well be good.
