Not sure anywhere in my post was aimed at people’s season tickets being suspended due to health conditions, so don’t portray my post to be as such.
The fact is, and it is a fact, a lot of season ticket holders renew when they don’t even go anymore, because they sell them or exchange them per game for when they do want to go to a game or be regulars again.

Don’t agree or like what I’ve posted fine, but it’s a fact, that people on the waiting list have to wait and wait and wait due to this

Really depends what you mean by ‘a lot’. 100? 1000? 20%

I completely understand your frustration, I was on the list for a couple of years and then managed to get one from the first Wembley season when a lot of new people were added. The thing is though that the new system of the ticket exchange is much, much fairer for non-season ticket holders. Under the old system where season ticket holders could sell for three or four times the price on stubhub, non-season ticket holders were getting robbed blind by season ticket holders using it as an investment vehicle. But that's no longer the case, and for most games it's possible to get a ticket

I dont think its an investment where you make money from it (in the past perhaps with Stubhub which was effectively ticketmaster i think). Im guilty of selling on ticketexchange and will continue to do so although thats only where there are games i cannot legitimately get to as im sure the same with others.

The thing is if i wasnt an ST holder, id just go to ticket exchange and get one - these are normally at face value plus an admin fee or whatever it is. Certainly agree with you there and also i think it is a better option than havign an ST where youre not guaranteed on selling your tickets on Ticket Exchange where as with a Non ST holder, you can effectively pick and choose your games.

I do think people are falling out of love in going and there will be plenty for STs available in future but not certain.

People taking my post way way to personal. If you use your season ticket and go to the games great, that’s what the privilege of being one is there for. Don’t take my post to refer to you or everyone that’s a season ticket as the same. I’m not sorry that me and thousands of others who do not have the privilege, are frustrated and angry that some take these for granted.

Then, you got lucky. I’m on the list and have been ages. Don’t take it personally if you’re not one that my post is aimed at.

They pretty much did. I joined as a member for the CL games at Wembley and managed to become a season ticket holder.

When did you join the list?

Having been an ST holder since the 90s I’ve almost always seen the same faces around me front behind left and right, bar maybe one or two seats amidst dozens. Anything that suggests that the vast majority of ST holders do anything other than attend every match they can is bullshit.

He's not suggesting that

I’d disagree with this figure. I’m sure it happens but I very much doubt it’s a large scale problem.

Yes exactly, in the past StubHub allowed the season ticket to be treated like an asset but with the ticket exchange, that's removed almost all opportunity for doing so

The games I’ve gone to get tickets, the same seats particularly in the 1882 area are available pretty much most games, aswell as other areas.

My post may not be a big deal to you or most, as season ticket holders, as I’m just venting on a personal level due to frustration on what I read and hear is happening.

Think you got unlucky or maybe missed an email. I joined at the tail-end of AVB (when I started earning a lot more) and got my ticket for the start of the 2018 season

No they didn’t, otherwise I’d have had one. I’m hearing Not just on here but elsewhere, people complaining about the price, the manager, the style of play, being done with football etc but will renew just because they don’t want to lose they’re spot and will just exchange their tickets.

It's not really that viable a proposition. I put my tickets on the exchange a few times this season due to work commitments and apart from the bigger games they didn't sell.

Beni · Jul 13, 2020

Yes it’s not an asset anymore for an investment opportunity, but it is still an asset in the sense you can get your money back and keep yourself on an exclusive member list.

southlondonyiddo · Jul 13, 2020

I think with the ticket exchange it gives ST holders the opportunity to renew knowing they can get a good portion of their money back should they be unable to attend (for whatever reason!!)

Should add that the longer the shiny new stadium syndrome wearS off and if the football is shite then we won’t be able to give the tickets away let alone exchange them!

3 years ago I would have completely agreed with everything you are saying. But as you can see, pretty much everyone who wanted a ST got one a couple of years ago.

If you've been on the list since the Jol years and were not offered one for the year at Wembley then you should definitely get in touch with the club! You have been a member longer than most ST holders.

I got my membership and joined the waiting list in 2013. I got a season ticket in the Wembley move. You should have had one ages ago.

Tiberius Gracchus · Jul 13, 2020

I must admit I have had tickets that I can't get to (usually mid-week games, because I no longer live or work in London) that I couldn't even give away. But I think about the season ticket as an investment in the season, with the ability to go to as many or as few games as I like

Not only that, but I joined the waiting list during the Jol years as well and was in the top 1500 on the waiting list so he should have been one of the first to be contacted.
