Topic: Season Ticket Waiting List

[R@WK]

Nah I haven't, I'm just on the online sales page having a look. I've got 'New STWL pre-requisite' in my purchase history, and when I tick the ACS boxes it takes me to a payment page (just for the ACS), but if I don't tick the boxes it says smart card error. I'm just checking to see if anybody can actually buy one.

What position were you ? Just wondering if there actioning all 2000 purchase history or bit by bit?

[redgriffin73]

Looks like a good selection of seats to pick from, how do they decide which seats will be STs as most are just dotted about except for a few blocks together like in the Paddock?

[R@WK]

Two thousand lucky, lucky people this week. My fingers are still crossed though.

300, no email yet.

[R@WK]

300, no email yet.

Fair play. Good luck to you.

I'm living in hope it goes 134 higher than the 2000 initial allocation.

[harrythedog]

Just spoke to someone in customer services on another matter. Asked about when we can buy a ticket and it is only after you have been contacted by the club by email or phone.
856 and counting. Rechecking my email every 5 mins ffs. Thank f*** for mobile browsing!!

No chance, they'll all go

[Welsh Red]

Not everyone will have £700+ to hand just like that.

[KM519]

Maybe. But on a 15 month 0% credit card they will. Also, for those who have just missed out, it may be better to wait a little until the club release a new batch of tickets down the line...even if this is in a few years time with potential redevelopment. The choice of tickets will be so much better. If virtually all the 2000 take up their allocation, those above 2000 lucky enough to get offered one will be taking the absolute scraps.

Don't get me wrong, if offered you've got to take it, but in time it could work out better with a better allocation in time (unless of course current season ticket holders can move their seats via the online system when they renew???). In the meantime, you'll probably get better seats via the membership scheme half season ticket thing.

I am not getting my hopes up as I can't see why The people in The 2000 would say no after waiting 13 years min. But like Welsh red says The money situation may come into play The fact you are going to have to purchase within a week, although don't think timelines have not been confirmed?

[Welsh Red]

Hope they hurry up and post my card or ill be missing out 

[cheesemason]

Well I have just paid for a good seat in the Kop and everything seems to have gone through, so fingers crossed!!

Did you have an email?

[cheesemason]

Nope, but it all seems to have worked

I have got a confirmation email of my order for a season ticket tho since purchasing this!

[Oh Yes BisCAN]

Not everyone will have £700+ to hand just like that.

They all paid their £5 in expectation though so surely??

[R@WK]

Nope, but it all seems to have worked

What position were you?

[cheesemason]

500 and odd

And me! block 205 in the Kop  Cheers mate. payment gone through and have reference on email!!

[cheesemason]

Just hoping they dont say we got em too early and take them away. Block 104 in the Kop is beyond my wildest dreams seeing a few weeks ago I didnt think I'd get one for years

[INABITSKI]

I can't even log on the fucking thing. Then it says to register, then says "we already have your details" then let me check out you twats.

Just play dumb mate. Its not exactly our fault if the web site is allowing us to buy them! There's nothing wrong with specualting!

[swoopy]

Interesting they've not put any in 304-306 up for sale.

Must be keeping them all back for us lowly members

I agree I'm just the paranoid and it seems to good to be true

[Birdontheshirt]

Well as you've both purchased, then according to the season ticket waiting list 'when someone above you becomes a season ticket holder your position will automatically update' I'd expect to have moved up at least 2 places.  But just looked and I'm still in the same place on the list.

I would imagine it updates on a daily basis rather than instantaneously.

[Birdontheshirt]

Perhaps you're right.  I'd assumed that their term 'automatically' meant that the process was computerised and would happen straight away.

[cheesemason]

Yeah definitely wouldnt be instantaneous. Not even sure it'd be daily. I reckon they'll do one big update in a week once the season tickets have been sold

[cheesemason]

Perhaps you're right.  I'd assumed that their term 'automatically' meant that the process was computerised and would happen straight away.

Knowing Liverpool's computer systems, I doubt their database is that good!

[CraigDS]

Perhaps you're right.  I'd assumed that their term 'automatically' meant that the process was computerised and would happen straight away.

It will be computerised, but will be easier/cheaper to have it updating daily/weekly than daily.

Plus I doubt their is a real need for a daily updating.

[Birdontheshirt]

Yeah definitely wouldnt be instantaneous. Not even sure it'd be daily. I reckon they'll do one big update in a week once the season tickets have been sold

But then why would they specifically state that it will automatically update? as a once a week update is not automatic in my mind. 

But thinking about it I can envisage that there may well be some advantage for the TO if it isn't automatic.  Cos I was wondering what they would do if someone who is say at somewhere in the 8000's and went on the list in 1998 (as a few seem to indicate on here) and can turn up at the ticket office with proof, then how would they accommodate that person earlier in the list without looking as though the rest of us were moving further back.  But it wouldn't be apparent that we were moving back in the list if the position on the list was only updated daily or weekly.  It would be hidden by the number of seasies sold.

Automatic doesnt hint at any timeframe, it just means its done via computer all itself rather than someone having to take the info and update a separate database.

[Birdontheshirt]

I suppose the word 'someone' as in 'when someone above you becomes a season ticket holder your position will automatically update' also made me think that the position would move with each sale.  Otherwise why not put something like 'your position on the list will be updated as season tickets are sold'.

[CraigDS]

Talking semantics now to be honest.

Its an automatic process, so the sales systems are linked to the waiting list with no monkey in between taking the list of ST sold and crossing the buyers off the waiting list. Thats all that means.

[smullo]

Just been on to the customer services, they are sending an e-mail out "any minute now".  I'm 474 on the list and its first come first served for the Kop etc. 

Just keeping you all updated 

[cac9280]

Looks like no emails today. I don't qualify - am just interested in the time scales for the sales.

[LFC_1981]

Anyone who applied after April 2004 hasn't been contacted yet apparently, so not sure how you can have a position on the new waiting list?

That's a good point, obviously It wasn't November 2004. I have no idea when I did then.

[phil_j_420]

Perhaps you're right.  I'd assumed that their term 'automatically' meant that the process was computerised and would happen straight away.

If I was their DBA, I would schedule a job to do it once a night in the early hours when no one is checking it.

[quinny]

Bought mine around 3:20, email confirmation and its pending in my purchase history. If you'd have told me 6 months ago that I'd be sitting here today with a season ticket on the Kop and Kenny as manager I'd have sectioned you.

[lfc786]

My dad is in the first 2000 how do I buy the season ticket online does he need to register online?

[swoopy]

Needs to log in with his fancard and then go to the new bit on the online sales page and select his seat
