So who's renewed their ST?

[NewClaret]

Seems nearly everyone then!

Brilliant effort. Will have to see how many on the waiting list buy now to see if we sell out again.

[GetIntoEm]

Care to name names? We’ve been a shitshow this season, and I’ve commented on matchday posts when I’m back home (I’m a season ticket holder).

Feeling guilty?

[Murger]

About what?

[Murger]

Has anybody’s direct debit been set up yet? Still nothing on the bank account.

Mine didn't show till after the 1st payment taken last year ... I have the DD reciept email from BFC showing payments are going out on 2nd of the month from May 2nd 2024

[MT03ALG]

Do we need to take any action as yet if we pay by Direct Debit ?
The initial statement issued some time ago stated that we do not need to take any action 'At this stage'.

Yep I’ve gotten that. Just thought it had to appear as an upcoming DD.

[Murger]

The DD has appeared.

Mine too Murger

You don't need to do anything.

[Leisure]

how many were sold last year?

About the same, 15000ish.

Season Tickets are back on sale.

A lot more available than I expected with number of sales announced.

I just had a look now … a lot of them seem to be singles … you think it might just be a lot of the seats that were left when everyone has put their seats together ?

We have always had lots of single seats in the ground, it's always been a big problem.

But there's quite a lot of blocks of 4 or more available.

[TOWNY80]

Looking at the plan on the club website it's looking like the cricket field stand is full again,I knew there was a waiting list has my mates on it so I presume any seats that haven't renewed have been taken up straight away

[Turftalker]

So have seat swaps finished now for season ticket holders?

[Quickenthetempo]

I'm sure they would swap you to any free seats.

[Turftalker]

Our group has bought an additional ticket near us to secure the ticket. But was just wondering if swaps had finished for previous season ticket holders to know if any seats closer to us may come up we can swap to. Or whether non renewals have been released yet.

all non renewals were released after the deadline of 19th April

I’ve just had a look through and about what I’d have expected. All blocks bar the CFS have availability, but most of the better blocks are singles only with the wings being the main place you can get more than one seat.

Will be interesting how they sell from here given the ‘waiting list’. I imagine a lot may wait for confirmation of which league we’re in now, or until nearer the season starts if they’re full payers, but if I were a family or a few mates looking for tickets together I’d be getting a hurry on.

[BradTee93]

Can still swap seats, they told me to ring up when wanting to swap/purchase another to pair with mine

[turfytopper]

I've renewed and changed seats slightly ......... just need to reduce the distance to the Turf now. For the last 35 years it has been 280 miles away.... House on the market (again) in May. Looking for somewhere within 1 hour drive of BB10.

Looks like the early bird period is a thing of the past as well

[Percy]

Are these prices early bird or is that over now?

I was on waiting list it says I have one day to renew.

[Quickenthetempo]

When I clicked on a seat to check the price, it said you need a membership or ST to purchase.

So I'm not sure.

They could give better info to fans.

I know what you mean. Did a 430 mile round trip for 10 years and it’s punishing after a defeat . Now takes me 15 minutes to get home once I’m in the car …a significant life enhancer.

[Claret Till I Die]

I've just looked to buy another near me and it was the same price as mine so going off previous years I presume that's it. Unless they haven't updated the system..........

[aggi]

When are they going to come on public sale or will it be sales to members only from now on? I assume not as a season ticket holder has, from what I remember, all the benefits of a member.

think members have until end of month to buy a season ticket then it goes to the people on waiting list from 1st May

[NewClaret]

That would make sense from what quickenthetempo has said then.

Wonder whether they reserve the walk ons or every seat not taken by a ST is now showing as available?

In some ways would make sense to reserve some for walk ons so there’s an even spread of availability of stands on match day.

all the available seats showing now will be all seats not taken by season ticket holders, they will be a limit to how many season tickets they can sell to allow for so many walk-ons. Once that figure is met they will end sales.

If that’s the case I would say remarkably few are available and anyone that wants one should be quick.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Tried to renew my 11 year old lads in the cricketfield online but saying unavailable seat?!?!?

I don't think you have ever been able to pick seats in the CF.
Ring the club, but they might have already sold the seat by now.

[Nickwilks7]

Looking at getting me & my lad a season ticket each in the Jimmy mc Upper.
There is 2 tickets available front row, but there is a reserved seat in the middle.
What do you think the chances of the person in said reserved seat swapping with us on matchdays so I can sit next to my lad?

Don't want to be trekking all the way up to the back of the stand with him for any of the other available seats

I'd say any reasonable person would move one seat to the left or right to accommodate that.

So do I, but I would maybe ask the club if they could contact them first? Sure they’ll try to help to sell two ST’s?

Possibly they would ask on your behalf (if you caught someone at the club on a good day). I can't imagine they would give you the person's details due to data protection regulations.

You could however start a thread on here (titled the seat and row number in question) asking if anyone knows who sits there. Bit a long shot but could be worth a try.

Coincidentally, my nephew, his dad and grandad also sit on the front row of the Jimmy Mc Upper and have done for years. Pretty central to the stand. Happy to ask them on the off chance they might know.

Edit - just realised you weren't the original poster, but message goes out to them as well

Yeah will try speak to the ticket office in the morning.

Cheers

[Quickenthetempo]

Last year, a guy bought a ST at the end of our row and we had the next 4. He bought a ST for his 9yr old lad on the 5th.
He asked the club to contact us to arrange a move, but they never.
We sorted it between ourselves on the first game.

[Nickwilks7]

You would think the majority of people would accommodate, as its literally one seat!
But there are some awkward people about
