Season Card Reservations/Relocations Direct Debit update 11/6

[gouldybob]

I noticed today when I rang up that when they tell you the number options they was skipping to number 6 b4 going through the numbers And number 6 was exec seats. So they can't be doin that well

It's been like that on the phone in options since the 1st day of the relocation window, so no need to read a deeper meaning to it other than if you want a posh seat you don't have to wait another 30 seconds to get to your number and you can jump the queue to relocate.

I used it to ask a general question about the relocation and jump the queue at Supporter Services, 3 rings and it was answered.

I had a phone call tonight asking if I wanted a premium seat, I am 8500 on waiting list, they must be making a lot of calls to try to sell these seats

When you go on the waiting list is there any sort of questionnaire regarding preferences for where you want to sit or what price range you're comfortable with?

I'm sure there was a question on which price ranges you wanted can't remember if there was an 'any' option.

it was a drop down box, you just chose price range, don't know if it makes any difference, would have thought you just choose from whats left

True.... but I've chosen not too. It costs me above the match day ticket about £150 on average and TBH I fundamentally disagree with what the club has done and where it is ho inn, so reluctantly I've done what I'm empowered to do and voted with my feet and cash....

I'd wager that these exec seats will not be populated save for the big games... which will be a great pity. I sincerely hope the club has not stepped beyond its limit in as much as how much the supporters are willing to pat, or can afford to pay. By the way it is pure willingness and choice on my part.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face??? If you really wanted to you could have got a much cheaper ticket resulting in an overall saving each match. Can only assume you didn't want to renew

Can understand where you're coming from and how you get there but no.... you're wrong. No where near cutting off the nose.... Strong point of principle really, quite simply the club thinks it's bigger than it actually is. Like I say next season I will be surprised if the Exec seat and all the others are full for all games next season.... I suspect our "waiting list" will be non-existent next season. Just my view of the world as I see it.

A huge error of judgement I'd say. If the club do what is widely expected and invest in players and possibly a stellar manager then they'll sell out with ease.... Maybe not the die hard blues we'd all profess to be but the next generation of fans and some football tourists too...

It's a terrible time to leave the party... If it's beyond your reach financially fine but it seems your logic may be flawed when there were chances to reduce costs and stay on the roller coaster.......

Did he really say that???

And that "waiting list" is currently sitting at around 10,000, I doubt they're all expecting or even want a £299 seat.

My son is 6000ish on the list and we've already been told he won't get offered a normal seat this year, but as a 5 year old he can get a parking space and a pint to go with his padded seat.

I was told by the club that Premium ticket holders will get priority on all away and European games. Which is quite an incentive.
Also the new 'concourse' appeals to me. Smaller queues etc.

Smaller queues would be nice but told by Supporter Services, and on City-Voice somewhere that away ticket availability will still be on a points basis. Posh seat, no points? Watch it on TV. Just like last year.

It's also not on the terms and conditions for the two premium areas

In Europe the away team gets given 200 tickets over and above the normal allocation for another part in the ground (hence why there is always some opposition fans in CB2). People who have hospitality season tickets are offered these first so I would expect it to be an extension of the group entitled to priority, but just on these 200 tickets.

Otherwise we riot!

I was wondering whether the ones getting phone calls about the premium seats had all selected a higher price range in the first place.

I'm not reading deeper into it, just saying they can't be selling many and are trying to push it
