Seasoncard - 2021/22

Whats the point of having the option on the website to defer, if you also have to call?
To confuse people into thinking they have deferred to then start taking payments on Direct Debit later. Frankly our online ticketing facilities have gone backwards. I've tried ringing to defer for 3 days now and have got as high as 80 in the queue. Today I don't even get a number just a message that Value Gold may sell out while I'm waiting. You really couldn't make it up.
 
There is no option to defer online. The "Not sure, keep my seat for now" option is if you are not renewing for a specific person in your friends and family list.
I'm sure they thought it was clear when they set it up, but boy will there be loads caught out by that, because it certainly looks like that's a deferment or at least will trigger a later request for confirmation from the club.
 
So my issue is my lad is now going to University in September. Can we definitely not take anyone else on his ticket during Covid times or do I have to either
1) Pay and have an empty seat, I don’t want him to cancel his season ticket since he has had since 8.
2) Cancel and lose his seat and both have to relocate and join the queue for him to get a season ticket after his Uni has finished
Same boat. My lad works 12 hour shifts, 4 days on, 4 days off and ends up missing many games. He’s 20 and has had a season ticket since a child. Previously someone else from the family has used his ticket.
 
Sorry to keep coming back to you on this. I just deferred mine and my wife's season ticket. "Mike" who processed the deferrals told me that the reason my seat might not be available next season is because it may be sold as a season ticket to someone else this season! Who could I approach at the club to find the correct answer to this and strongly suggest that a consistent message is given from all levels/departments within the club?
I suppose it could be offered as a Value season ticket but then it would still be yours next season. More training opportunities at the ticket office...

Let's be honest, they've hardly gone out of their way to make a deferment easy. Quite the opposite and certainly no clarity from the club over seat retention which for many is a deal breaker.
 
Tried to call, been in a queue 5 times, been told I'm first in the queue and after waiting around 15 minutes I get Hugh Ferris (I think) saying "goodbye" before hanging up.

Quality system they've got going there.

The Value Gold ST holders are offered the seat at full price for the following season normally, I doubt there is much take up.

That's not what we've been told. It's fucking ridiculous that they can't get their act together. It's completely amateurish.

It looks clear to them because they understand what they're trying to do. The problem is they don't realise that us fans, seeing this stuff without the benefit of having worked on it for weeks, don't understand.

That's why you need to be absolutely clear what people need to do, what the user journey will look like and, if necessary (which I think it is in this case) get a representative sample of people with different requirements to test it.
