On the assumption all the non-renewed STs are snapped up when placed on open sale after today, it's easy to predict final numbers, isn't it? Whatever we sold last year plus the 1000?

Today is the last day to guarantee your seat when renewing season tickets. No doubt the club will be sending reminders to those who have not yet renewed. It struck me that the end of May is very early, considering that we still have no idea of the new signings yet. I was looking at Luton's and WBA's (randomly chosen) season ticket prices and ST holders have until July 5th and July 12th respectively to renew theirs. That is much more user friendly, with an extra five or six weeks to arrange the finances and have a decent idea when you purchase what the team will look like. I know early renewal helps with cash flow but it's not like a few years ago when we were run on a shoe string. Another month so to renew would I'm sure be much appreciated. Perhaps a question for the Co-Op to put to the club in due course? I assumed that the 31 May date was for financial reasons. A lot of clubs run their financial year from 1 June to 31 May. But I can’t remember renewal dates over previous years, so I might be wrong. Last year it was later as tickets didn't go on sale until later due to the playoffs, which ironically drew criticism too. The happy medium seems to be early release date and longer renewal window. It's understandable why the date has fluctuated over the last few seasons though, as the league we'd be in for the following season wasn't certain and therefore the prices would be dependant on that. If we're midtable next season then I'd expect an early release but if we're involved at either end of the table then it'll understandably be later.

I sit on a row of all season ticket holders and there were two seats next to me that nobody sat in all season. Always found it odd that they never offered them out when they weren't attending. Could be a couple of long distance exiles who think they are still doing their bit for the club and makes it impossible to pass their tickets onto other fans. During winter months i miss a number of mid week games but if i pass my ST over to somebody else for the game i might have a difficulty of getting it back again for the next game if they do not turn up for it. Should be easy with the electronic version, if it is a PDF or anything with a QR code you can screenshot and share....however you would need to trust the individual of course.

My mate was a season ticket holder at Newcastle in the Keegan days. The ground was sold out every match. However there were 2 empty seats directly in front of her. Every match. On Boxing Day, a man and his teenage son were occupying the seats. So my friend asked about the previous 10 or so games. “I don’t want to talk about it “ said the bloke “But my wife bought two season tickets as a surprise last summer, then decided that they would make ideal Christmas presents, so she hid them away and surprised us yesterday.” Bloke didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Again we are all different in mind and the money we have. For some the outlay on a ST is a big struggle but to others its just small change and could roll up when or if they fancy it. Without even being selfish they,d never think twice they are stopping others attending which is something thats hardly ever happened at County before. We are not unique in any way but possibly less doing this type of thing than premier league clubs fans do. Actually i can see more empty spaces next season at EP if there are more early and later KO on a saturday, friday night, or sunday games foistered on us. Its no fault of any individual who cannot make those times when you more or less purchase for saturday 3pm and tuesday night games. We might be up to date on the new sky deal but some will be either unsure of how it will pan out.

Wife is disabled and doesn’t really operate well after about 7 at night. She can cope with the odd midweek game. But hope there are not too many silly times

What's the relocation period they're talking about? Where people who have bought tickets/renewed can move their seats. Once all that's done, they remaining tickets go on sale.

Ah ok, something I've never done before but I might take a look at that presuming I get the option. Last year was the first time in years I've not had one because of circumstances but I've got one again this year but it's not ideally where I wanted to be.
