Alrigh everyone. Physical season ticket shenanigans ahead. While ordering my ticket I selected physical ticket as my option. When it came time to put card details in I scrolled back up to check that it was still set to physical ticket and saw it had switched to e ticket. Changed it back to physical ticket and paid. Got the email and it said e-ticket on it. I emailed the club shop to check that I was also able to collect a physical ticket and have subsequently been told that they’ve changed it to physical ticket for me. Might be worth checking for anyone else expecting a physical ticket. Yeah, I noticed the physical ticket selection moved back to e-ticket during the process ... I had to change it back. Just to make sure I checked my confirmation - fortunately it says physical ticket but it something worth looking out for. I only noticed it at last moment when buying. My email said e-ticket which is why I emailed the ticket office. They were fine with switching me to a physical card though. It’s rubbish that I selected physical card collect at EP twice and still the system set to the wrong thing.

Bloody hell. We're selling out every game next year, aren't we? Yeah, that’s thrown a spanner in the works for me. Just had a baby and wasn’t going to bother with a season ticket for the next couple of years with not knowing how many games I’m likely to make. But looks like it could be a faff for every game now booking in advance and not getting a decent seat in the ground. Might have to rethink the plan and just suck up losing money on it. I really think the club are missing a trick in not giving people the option to re-sell their seat for games they can’t make. I think it’ll have to come in at some point especially when capacity is reduced by building work. As my work situation is still not confirmed I can’t guarantee I’ll get to every home game, but since I’m hoping to I thought it was best I plump for season. If I end up out of pocket then I’m fine for the peace of mind of knowing I’ll be sat where I want to be for every home game.

I shared it in here for people who have bought or are buying season tickets to see rather than the club though. I’ve already made the club aware it happened via my emails to the ticket office.

I think it’ll have to come in at some point especially when capacity is reduced by building work. Thinking aloud, there might be some value in an unofficial 'Season Ticket Resale' thread on here, gives people the option to advertise a Ticket for a game they know in advance (Holiday, etc), they can't make and gives a non-ST holder a chance to claim a decent seat. If games are likely to be sellouts anyway then it's not really taking money away from the club.

Can see myself getting to about 5 home games this season if I’m lucky. Jeez.
Get a move on with the new stands!!

Is that 1000 new season ticket holders today? What will that take the total up to? We sold around 5,800 last season. So 6,800 minus however many aren't renewing! If the total eventually sold is around 6,500, that leaves around 2,000 available for general sale across the 3 main stands, plus another 1,000 in the RE (I know it holds more than that but the club always reduces the capacity. Call it 1,100 tops.)

The capacity of the other three, plus the CE and MS, is just over 8,500.

Sometimes there wasn't even any takers for it (even though it was always free) - Think having all these offers in one place is the best way, so it doesn't get buried in a match thread somewhere.

Probably should have just gone there to renew it in the first place!

Imagine the clamour for games against Birmingham, Bolton, Blackpool, Wigan and Wrexham.

Going to be impossible. The problem with success. Couldn’t get a ST now I’ll likely miss loads of games in place of someone who’s been to a handful of games.
