Tamworthram Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 10 minutes ago, Srg said: It’s because of them not allowing to open new customer numbers, but obviously they’ve never needed more. There was no period for the Liverpool game or Wembley game where season ticket holders could get extra tickets before general sale (if it got there) as well. Ah. So the fact that 4 people share 2 season tickets is irrelevant? The issue was the clubs failure to give ST holders to chance of buying extra tickets before they went on general sale? Is that a thing we've ever done for the play off Finals? If Forest had done that then presumably they would never have reached general sale.

If we were to only end up with 17 or 18,000 season tickets holders next season, it would have to mean that 5-6,000 that had season tickets last season haven't renewed. I just can't imagine non-renewals would be that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Liverpool cup game they put online for sale at midnight by the way - because that’s completely normal. The website couldn’t handle it. Real kicker was them having to move season ticket holders due to increased away capacity this season and they actually tried to charge those forced to move for the privilege because the seats they were going to were better. Needless to say they backtracked that one sharpish after backlash. I’m not particularly into Forest and Derby tit for tat, as you can imagine being pretty close to it, but it’s all been pretty poor and anti-fan from them this year. Reminded me how we acted before we kind of got our stuff together for big games with high demand a number of years But that's how Derby's worked when we got to the Playoffs isn't it. You got one ticket per season ticket then could get more when they went on general sale? Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Forest had done that then presumably they would never have reached general sale. Indeed. for the 2007 final, I remember reading we had 1 ticket per STH, as allowing 2 tickets each x 19k STHs (from memory?) could have taken us over our 32k ticket allowance, meaning some STHs would have missed out. Baggies had something like 13k STHs, so allowed 2 tickets per STH before general sale. I imagine the numbers for the dogs were similar to us? ?♂️ Tamworthram and CBRammette 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to know how many renewals have since been converted. I know a lot are happy to wait to see what happens with the DD option and others simply won't renew. We won't know for sure until the end of the month when those seats that were held become released. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded me how we acted before we kind of got our stuff together for big games with high demand a number of years back. The deliberately small away allocation ( Billy Davis move to half the Bridgeford. To stop Leicester having all of that end in SF play off) has come back to bite them , they have now lost Bridgeford section which they have worked hard on which next to the A block gave them some vocal support ...those supporters will now be split up around the ground ....it was a petty minded ill thought out action .... The way our ground is now configured is fantastic, South stand must be one the best vocal stands in the Country and SW upper ( where I sit) and East Stand next to the away fans are decent vocally .

Away fans - 3k Home fans - 30k - 7266 = 22,734 allocated seats. The numbers don't add up to me. I think there was around 14000 Season Tickets holders last year. If we have sold around 13000 season tickets so far this year, it means 4500 renewals and 8500 new season tickets. That doesn't sound feasible. I think the 22734 must include away fans. That would mean 7500 renewals and 5500 new season ticket sales. Even that sounds unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When season tickets were finally put on sale last season, from October onwards, we never fell below 20,000. I have already removed away fans (3k) and there is a little over 7000 seats left to purchase. Edited July 12, 2022 by Ambitious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
