Season Ticket Discussion 2024/25

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Let people spend their money.

They love Wolves.

Did Jeff steal your log in

I renewed despite what I've said before, I believed it when I wrote it. I only really changed my mind in the last 48hrs.

I didn't really enjoy doing it, I had £60 worth of "Wolves cash" to take off the total which softened the rise (somewhat). Mainly due to not knowing what the future holds in the next few years, I may relocate, emigrate etc. and I decided at least another year of watching my team, seeing mates etc. after being on the waiting list ended up being more important to me than taking a stand against what was a shitty move by the Club/Shi.

So maybe they win, who can really say, but I'm at peace with it.

 

[Jinky]

I think it's nearer 4,000 personally and I don't think they'll get replaced either.

It'll be interesting to see if they ever release the figures.

It's unlikely isn't it?

That's fair enough, he has won though, and he's judged it right. That's the problem, he's got you by the balls and he knows it.

The cunt.

As @Lycan eloquently put, I'm a little bitch and Jeff Shi is my Daddy

We weren't slow to do it last year.

Season ticket relocation begins and 700 tickets go to waiting list

Almost 700 season tickets will be made available to those on the season ticket waiting list, after 21,771 supporters renewed theirs for the 2023/24 season.

I dont think anyone should have any guilt about renewing even if they did say initially they wouldn't.
Wolves as a club is far more important than the current owners and Shi.
Personally me and my boys have gone with memberships again, we actually were on the verge of not but then my youngest calmed down and changed his mind. I'm not sure we needed to but my sons wanted to guarantee that games we could get to, we could get 3 seats together so I caved.

 

[Deano]

There's been nothing official about the re-location window yet has there?

18th. I asked fan services.

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

If the number not renewing is 4,000 (for example) I really doubt that there are more than a few hundred 'new' potential season ticket holders that will join, especially if the rates are even higher than the renewal rates. I think at least this will prove that the fabled waiting list is a fallacy and with no waiting list, individual match pricing and future ST rates will have to be viewed differently.

 

[Tredman]

8000 on the waiting list ‘apparently’. Pretty sure there were a few on here who were offered and declined even during the milk and honey period so the list is probably vapourware

 

[Shotbybothsides]

Jeff won't care about the "broken relationship". All he cares about is the figures/bottom line and it looks like he's pitched it perfectly given the amount of people who ended up renewing (and that isn't a critical comment towards those people at all). From the general trend, it looks like a much higher % have caved and renewed compared to those that have made a stand.

A small sample on here though. On the 'other forum' loads haven't renewed.

 

[BillyDee]

We won't know if Jeff "got it right" until we see the attendance figures next season and see if the cancelled season ticket holders have been made up for by individual matchday sales.

 

[Lycan]

Even MolMix & Twitter is a small sample size really.

I think renewals could genuinely end up being as low as 16K. We might not announce it but it'll be plain to see when the relocation window arrives.

He didn't 'get it right' regardless IMO, doesn't matter if we sell out every game next season.
The damage he's done to his & the ownership's reputation amongst the fanbase is pretty much irreversible at this point.

Now, he might not give a flying fuck about what we think but that doesn't mean that raising prices by this much was the right thing to do.

Agreed, why I used quote marks. I don't think this is at all right, but it is what his aim is to maximise revenue.

There's no way our gate income increases by any meaningful measure, from that point of view there's no way this carry on was worth it.

Yeah, I’m going to try and relocate tomorrow. Will see what is available.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Ok let's say it's 4k. (I don't think it'll be anywhere near that, just look on here and AT)

The bottom line income from gate receipts won't drop, as they'll make more money from charging new STs more, and/or they'll make more money from members or non members who go to 5 games a season filling those seats.

Yeah there will be 5 or so games a season with lower than previous attendances, but that'll be covered by the massive rises and the sold out other high profile games.

Also, those 4k (!) non renewed ST holders will be going to between 1 and 10 games a season too!

The only time it becomes a problem is when we are relegated, Shi doesn't care about that, he probably won't be here then.

Shi has won here, despite all the whinging, and those commendable people who did not renew on principle, there are thousands who still did despite saying they wouldn't.

I know people won't like reading this, and I'll get abuse, but it doesn't make it any less true.

I'd be really interested to know how many games lapsed season ticket holders have been to.

I found the membership price oppressive and I didn't want to pay the membership plus actual ticket so last season I did one game, where a season ticket was going spare in my old group.

I wonder how many will baulk at paying £45. For me I'd have to attend 5 games+ to make it worthwhile but if I'm spending £250-350 I might as well buy the season ticket for the other 14 games.
