My wife was offered a season ticket yesterday- and she is 75,034 on the list. Only 1882 or premium though- suggesting that all other tickets have been sold. Not going to take it up- expensive, particularly for a seat on your own.

Think evidence is pretty conclusive, the dedicated coughed up the readies but for the majority season ticket prices were just too high.

I don't think it's anything of the sort. They've easily sold 40k+ season tickets, and there are a 100 or so 1882 tickets left, which they are finding harder to shift. The whole concept of those tickets was misconceived, not exclusive enough for the moneybags City types, and too expensive for the average fan to consider.

Surely the evidence only points to the club getting things kind of right?

They're gonna sell out all the tickets, that's only a success.

And it's very easy to claim that exhausting the waiting list shows a lack of interest, but many are on the list because of other reasons.

Yes, club must regard the process a success- season tickets have sold out, at the price they wanted. As people have said above, the only failing was that 1882 was a bad idea- everything else about the process has worked.

Is there a reason why you’re so desperate for this to be seen as a failure o_O

Not a failure but you would have thought that with a brand new stadium ST's would have been snapped up, I know two on the waiting list and the only reason they didn't purchase was purely cost.

The initial sale to existing ST's was good with approx. 38000 renewing but I am not sure the club can be that happy with how sales have gone since even though it appears standard ST's have all sold. What is imperative is that we now maintain a top four finish for the future or even a PL title would be nice. (y)

Must admit, I would have purchased but prices were just too high to justify.

Given that there are none left bar premium, I'd say that's snapped up. No matter what your two mates decided.

Sales to the phantom waiting list have now been going on for about two months , that seems like a snail's pace to me , my idea of snapped up is when tickets sell out in hours or days. We now have Graysonti who didn't buy because of price plus the two I know that makes at least three.:)

It’s all kind of irrelevant tbh. They issued 42k ST and have sold them out bar a few hundred premium. So it shows they got the demand and price point correct in business terms.

Expensive for sure but they have had little problem selling. The waiting lists we all knew were loaded with a lot of people only on it as they had memberships that allowed them to get so,e tickets in a stadium where it was hard to get any seats. That included me who went very occasionally paying through the nose for anything available. I took up the season ticket option when it became available but never expected to be offered one

I think you can only transfer tickets next season to people in your network so they have to be members.

Anyone know what the natural churn rate has been our STs? I’m curious as to whether the club will be able to maintain a full quota of ST holders assuming prices and take-up from the ‘waiting list’ fail to improve

as I've said a few times, they couldn't of sold the prices for the East to what they where in the old WHL, if they had done those at 2-3 hundred less then they would of had to drop the west instead of kind of freezing them as they are roughly the same. if they dropped those 2 by silly amounts, then the North and South would of needed to drop pretty steep too, which at the end of the day having to not only sell our best players to pay for it, we would be 5+ years more paying the same wages as before.

Does anybody have any current info regarding how many remaining season tickets are left in sale?
When i got mine on tuesday it was inly 1882 left. Since i bought my seat the interactive map has not changed and still shows my seat any many others as available.
The problem for those looking to buy now is that the club wanted full payment. Not many have the 2200 sitting there to pay.
Anybody recieved their stadium access card or pack?
Cant wait to get there, ive waited all my adult life(12 years) for a season ticket and to finally get one in the unvelievable stadium......chuffed and feel veeery fortunate!

They want full payment so they can pay Harry's wages.:)

Doubt if access cards & packs will arrive until mid to late August.

My son & a mate also recently got a season ticket in the 'rat race' - does anyone know how or when they will get the membership fee refunded for one hotspur as it didnt discount when making the payment in full ?
