Someone posted on Facebook the following .......
''As no information about Season Cards, I've just been to the ticket office about 11am. I was told that cards for the West Stand will not be available to collect until Wednesday (Aug 7). Others are available. The club shop was closed''

2006/7 was very near 6,500 even the South Lower had a high number of Season Tickets. It was £300 an Adult for that season with a child free in Family Stand or South Lower.
I doubt there has been higher than that even in the 50's and 60's

Just seen someone post on Facebook that the club has sold his seats to someone else even though they had been paid for.

When I first went in 1966 a fiver would buy you a junior's season ticket. I remember that, because there was no way I could afford a fiver...

Don't know why someone would make up a story about losing their seat along with their careers and grandsons.

That works out to £116 in todays money so quite expensive.
In 1984/5 a junior under 16 season ticket was £15 that's about £60 in today's money.

So many questions but the main overriding question I would ask is did they renew their season ticket seats before the deadline?
Next question would be how on earth can someone buy a seat that had been renewed and how would they know about it. Up until the deadline (7pm on Thursday) you could only purchase a seat that was either green (available) or renew your current one (which you didn't have yo select as it was already in the basket)
I suspect the individual is of elderly persuasion (mentions grandson) so may not have been to up technically and went to the stadium map and saw where they usually sat and saw thd seats greyed. This meant it was held for the season ticket card holder. If they had issues I would have hoped they would have rang or gone to the club ticket office in person

Going by what they have said, they have a copy of the receipt from before the deadline.
They have been advised to email Rylee but the office staff just said they had to have whatever was still available.

Something seems a little odd with this scenario
. It is a digital system that manages the allocation of seats and matching to transactions. Given 4000 sales this incident appears to be a 4000:1 occurrence? I guess that @Supershrimper is somewhere near what has happened, they could have miss understood the renewal process, or simply paid for three seats at the appropriate rate assuming these would be their reserved seats. I don't get how they have become aware that the same seats have been sold twice?? they say they have a receipt for their seats, so have they seen another receipt for the same seats? all very peculiar but I guess it can be unpicked by the ticketing office, once they have sight of the receipt as this will have the seat details, transaction details, and date stamped, they can then review any other transaction they have for the same seat. Also the ticketing system will store all the data for example, when those particular seats were selected, sold and to which IP address etc. Only other explanation I can think is that someone has their online login username and PW and used it to buy the reserved seats, not at all likely as a bit obvious who it was that bought them when the season starts

My mate who sits next to me sorted his a week after me. He’s had an email saying to collect his, I have not received that email
1966 and all that

Last season I paid for our seats during the early bird offer and for inclusion in the prize draw. Subsequently I was told that my seats had been sold to a new season ticket holder. They did unravel the situation eventually. However, I was not convinced that I was entered in the prize draw.
