Season tickets 2023/24

[IanMcL]

The retirement age has been 66 for a couple of years regarding pensions hasn't it ...
I know I will not get a Government pension till next year ... Retirement and Over 65's season tickets aren't currently linked

I remember Swansea was over 60.

[NewClaret]

It hasn't been amended, 'a reasonable proportion (at least 5%) have to be made available to non-season ticket holders'. EPL Rule R.6.9. So for us it would be just under 1000.

They’ve definitely taken 1000 ‘off sale’ then because there doesn’t seem to be that many left.

[IanMcL]

I’m a little confused

How do have we sold 10k already?

Are there that many that aren’t paying by DD and renewed?

There’s 4 of us on DD that don’t have to tell them we are renewing. Are we in that 10k?

I was unsure about the 'auto renewal' in case it just lapsed! I went on the club site and it was in the basket, for purchase. I confirmed by checking out as a DD and got the email confirmation right away.

It also confirmed payment dates by DD.

The only thing in my basket is the Fleetwood tickets (which I needed to purchase, so thanks for that reminder), but I’ve checked my purchase history and it’s in there but haven’t seen an email for it.

If you've paid for a retirement-age season ticket - does that show when it's scanned at the turnstile?

Or in other words, if I can't get to the game, could my son-in-law use my ticket without having to act as decrepit as me

Yes it does show when the card is scanned but don't know if the turnstile operators really take any notice.

Much obliged Leisure - looks like I'll have to ask the club to charge me full price!

Just to clarify - you can “upgrade” it to adult game by game. You just go in to the ticket office & pay the extra. They Vance your ST and give you a paper replacement.

It be worth checking first of all your Junk/spam/trash folders as depending on settings it could have been directed there without you knowing. Failing that if you go onto website and check your email is correct on your account.

That would be just the job - Cheers NewClaret!

Email is correct as I got the confirmation for the Fleetwood tickets to it and not in the junk folders

As I said, next years ticket is showing in the purchase history and I selected it to resend email which I’ve received in my inbox

[Quickenthetempo]

LU 68
LL 61 plus 11 Amenity seats
JMU 58
JML 45
BL 49 Half restricted view

281 STs left (plus 11 As) available to buy now.

Amazing effort.

I've had no email confirmation either and none in our group had up to last night, but all of us have had the loyalty points added along with it showing in the purchase history.

Am I correct in thinking that in addition to the above, there will be additional seats later from people who don't renew?

[Quickenthetempo]

Yeah, they have until the end of the Early bird to renew. Then any seats will be available.

I'm 75th in line for any available STs in the CF stand but I will be gobsmacked if that many don't renew.

[Vegas Claret]

decent

[Bosscat]

Wow ...

[sox8595]

That's Brilliant

[Quickenthetempo]

They read our ST thread didn't they.

[IanMcL]

How many is the max quota for STs then? Can't they increase it, to get sure money?

[IanMcL]

Longside Upper 62 seats available for choice
Longside Lower 50
Bee Hole Upper 44
Bee Hole Lower 37
Bob Lord 48

Total 241

The posh seats are blocked out. They like to keep them empty, I think!

So if that is all the available seats for choice....are we nearly at capacity, providing all the existing STs renew?

[Whitgord]

There will be a few ST holders who don’t renew for various reasons.

[Whitgord]

Still would appear that there won’t be many walk ons available next season

[IanMcL]

When does Early Bird close? Get your bargain seat and know you can come and see Burnley win the Prem next season!

End of March

[NewClaret]

Just seen this. Absolutely brilliant news and surely that means we’re going to have 18000-19000 ST holders?

Amazing support. Tickets are going to be hard to come by next year.

Bet the posh seats sell out if we’re in the Prem. Glory hunters.

[IanMcL]

Wow! Those 241 are going to disappear in moments, given the enthusiasm at this time.

Amazing. A sold out stadium or an I missing something?

(Just lucky those posh seats will be empty!

[Leisure]

In the PL you have to keep 5% of the home capacity for walk-ons, so that's just under 1000.

So somewhere there is a section which has also been masked off. Bob Lord?

[NewClaret]

Bit of a mystery, this. I suppose the options are:

- they’re going to ignore the rules
- they hope 1k existing won’t renew
- look in to temporary seating (impossible, I’d imagine)
- there are big blocks reserved for general sale - mid tiers for Longside were grey very quickly
- they’ve scattered them about so there are some in each stand

Last bullet most likely, I’d have thought. I assume that there’s no rules on what price bands the general sale tickets need to be in so maybe they’ve just left 1k very expensive ones, assuming people would pay it for infrequent visits?

[Leisure]

Don't know what you mean by 'masked off'? It means that we can't sell every available home seat to a season ticket holder. We have to leave around 1000 unsold for sale to non- season ticket holders ie walk-ons.

[ClaretTony]

There will be a few ST holders who don’t renew for various reasons.

I doubt there will be many but I'm aware of three who won't be renewing for a very obvious reason.

[Lord Beamish]

Got STs for my youngest and I, last week. On the Bob Lord. There weren’t many then that were sat together. Glad I went when I did.

Would’ve thought a lot would get caught out with this. Especially given the early bird period doesn’t end until late March. I think a lot will expect to be able to get it nearer that time and will get caught out.

Well done to the club for letting fans know they’re on the last remaining seats but not everyone will see that.

[claretandy]

Will be less than that when you take off away allocation and walk-ons, will still be a record though.

[NewClaret]

Will be less than that when you take off away allocation and walk-ons, will still be a record though.

I worked it out as:

22,000 - 2275 (away) = 19,725
19,725 - 5% = 18,738

Still, fantastic to be setting records either way.

[Ightenhill_Claret]

Amazing to see such a big take up of season tickets, both renewals and new season tickets.
Not sure any of us could have predicted the response on the pitch to relegation and the sheer volume of gates we’ve been getting this season.

[Quickenthetempo]

It's impossible to work out, as we won't know if corporate seats are included in the 5% walk on.

They take up quite a few seats in the ground and are available on a match by match basis.

[IanMcL]

Just to clarify - you can “upgrade” it to adult game by game. You just go in to the ticket office & pay the extra. They Vance your ST and give you a paper replacement.

How does that fit with the 'only the holder can attrnd/non transferable' T&Cs?

[IanMcL]

Don't know what you mean by 'masked off'? It means that we can't sell every available home seat to a season ticket holder. We have to leave around 1000 unsold for sale to non- season ticket holders ie walk-ons.

I understand that Leisure. By 'masked off' I mean shielded from view to the would be purchasers. Or are there sufficient seats in the posh bit/Directors section and Hospitality?

[NewClaret]

How does that fit with the 'only the holder can attrnd/non transferable' T&Cs?

In the upgrade scenario, they “cancel” the ST, give you a paper replacement but only charge you the difference.

But irrespective, I emailed to ask if I could take a child in replacement of an adult ST and they said yes. So I’m not sure how hard they seek to enforce that particular term.

[Leisure]

OK. No there aren't enough seats there, they would be spread across the stands, except in the CF.

[IanMcL]

I doubt there will be many but I'm aware of three who won't be renewing for a very obvious reason.

There will always be that turnover and those who have become immobile or suffer from some other debilitating condition. Hopefully, not too many!

[JR1882]

Just to clarify amongst the panic for a seat, if you pay by DD and wish to renew, you don’t have to do anything at all it will just auto renew is that correct?

[Leisure]

Yes. You should have had an email to confirm, although I never received one

If you log into your details and check your purchase history it will should show the 23/24 Season ticket there

I must say I would be surprised if they decided to sell so many season tickets - the uplift in revenues provided by matchday tickets is significant and given how may matchday tickets have been sold this year that will be very fresh in the mindset - I believe we are on course for record Matchday receipts this season, which would be over £6.323m we earned in in 2018/19.

If it is so few, there is the possibility (nothing certain) of a membership scheme being introduced to qualify for the ability to buy matchday tickets - this is a standard feature for Premier League clubs. Such schemes require a consistent over-demand relevant to capacity and we may not yet be at that level yet.

Given that the most expensive seats are available for walk ons, I would hope that a great deal of additional revenue would accrue by making these seats the only game in town, on the day!
