2026/27 Season tickets - Poll added

[Blue Neon]

Think many fans going be frustrated with those changing seats to lower down areas. Brother got soaked to the skin in his with the rain.

Hearing 97% uptake on renewals, seat changes from 1st June so would imagine window for new waiting list around 20th June.

I thought we would of had an email by now about changing seats if you can do it from Monday?

Ypu sure you've been on waiting list 2018/19? Brother got his 2019/20.

The club threw in the qualifier of how many years membership you had, it made it possible to join the waiting list a year (or years) later, but if you had more memberships you'd be ahead in the queue.

Not quite as high as final years at Goodison, but still pretty high. By my reckoning there would be 2k ish STs handed back for the club to consider re distributing to waitlist. Another 2-3 years waiting for me at that rate.

A 97% renewal rate confirms that the bed-wetting drama queens on this forum are in no way, shape or form representative of the wider fanbase.

3% non renewal means around 1000 tickets going back?

I think the club as it stands is on borrowed time if they dont start showing ambition from the top down then next season that number will be a lot higher.

To me we are at a crossroads now, we either get busy competing or get busy going into the abyss

Don't know how I worked out 2k when you are correct with 1k.....anyway 6-7 years more waiting for me. Will be perfectly timed for retirement!

The point I was making was that there's a massive gap between what the forum predicted and what actually happened. It shows the loudest voices on here were never representative of the wider fanbase. Football forums tend to amplify frustration because unhappy fans are more likely to post, vote in negative polls, and dominate discussion. And you can add in to that the fact that people will have voted in the poll who don't even have a season ticket but just like to feel involved in arguments.

Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of season ticket holders quietly renewed, as usual.

In short, the poll reflected the mood of a vocal online minority, not the real-world behaviour of season ticket holders. Your comment/prediction is equally dramatic I'm afraid.

Was never going to be as high for obvious reasons, but to have a 97% renewal rate is exceptional imo, esp with all the fixture changes we had.

I got shafted by this

Joined the waiting list 2018, but had 1 too few years of paid membership, so people who joined the list 3 or 4 years after me got tickets ahead of me.

 

[ManxBlue]

The suggestion of a 20% relinquish rate of season tickets suggest by the poll was, from the outset, completely unrealistic.

 

[Simo]

Tis the reason there's no comms about increased ST prices, at 97% they know they can probably push it again next season

 

[MCtoffee]

where is the source of the 97% come from? I’ll miss about by hairs breadth if that’s true

The club statement. But it's also the same article that claimed 95% of all seat unique tickets were sold this season so it's about as reliable as a chocolate fireguard
