Around 2004 maybe? That opt in was what really made the ST Waiting List explode I think - before that you had to write (snail mail!) to the club and asked to be put on the list.

I remember in about 2002 I was stopped by someone trying to sign people up with LFC credit cards outside the ground and that form had a box to tick to join the waiting list as well.

I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager. Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."

I wonder if they’d be better introducing fixed term season tickets.

So for example, you get a ticket but only for a maximum of 5 years, that ticket must then be returned to the club and passed onto the next person in line.

Would help reduce the wait for a ST atleast.

Obviously those who’ve had them for years already would be exempt, so it would only be for newly returned STs.

Imagine waiting 22 years for a seasie and being told you can only have it for 5 years but the guy in front of you gets it for life

Mine disappeared and I was a bit worried because it was after I changed some personal information. But it seems from the posts above that it's disappeared for everyone.

Not sure why I was worried - it's not like I'm going to get one before I die.

I can really see them scrapping seasies altogether at some point and then putting all STH's on 19 credits.

I remember one of those 'Your Voice' surveys a few years back which was asking whether you'd be interested in a 'gold membership' which gave you a better chance of tickets. They didn't call it that but that was the basic idea. Hopefully the supporter's organisations will stop them moving in that direction.

Isn't that basically how the old PTS worked?

23 years and counting for me, 1009 on the list. If you'd have told me as a 7 year old I might get one aged 30, I'd have laughed.

My Grandad, added to the list at the same time as me is in the 5000s. I assume a victim of the mess up mentioned in this thread.

23 years for me too. Joined it in early 1999.
I’m currently 2542 on the list.
Mad how people who joined at the same time are in wildly different places on the list. I’ve seen a couple of people who’ve been on 21 years get a season ticket.
Long history of incompetence from the lfc ticket office though. Not gonna change any time soon.

Not really as thats 1 kind of membership with pre-requisites.. basically you would have  Gold which guarantees X games/ chance so like the old PTS of 50% success rate, with a limit and bronze would be what we have now and is just ballots no ticket guaranteed

Don't know if i like the sound of that though, I assume there would be a waiting list for the gold ones and eventually it becomes a closed shop like STH.

Thank you for contacting Liverpool Football Club with regards to the Anfield rd expansion.

we have no figures as yet of how many of the general admission seats will become season tickets. 

Once we have this information those supporters on the waiting list will be contacted.

-

Those saying 2k seats from Annie Rd will be season ticket not correct (yet at least).

I asked them not so long ago to confirm whether they'd be keeping STs as 50% of overall capacity (so an additional 3,500 ST seats when the AR expansion is done). They wouldn't answer.

Hoping they at least do this because we're already bottom of the league in terms of STs as a % of capacity.

Don't know what effect seasonal hospitality would have... would the club use those to fudge the overall ST % ?

It is expected to be circa 2-2.5k given its going to stay the same % ratio as current

Anyone know when the hospitality season ticket renewal window is? On the waiting list and have been for a while so was hoping for some movement on that especially with the new stand due for opening next season.

I did wonder how soon this thread would be bumped once we hit 2023! At least in a few months time all of the calculations and guesswork will be over once and for all.

How many season tickets now? Is it 27k? with that being 50% surely nearer 3-3.5k season tickets issued would be right as a minimum

We’ve been on the list for a while now, so be interesting to see if we now get offered one and what the pricing is.

2k will be going to corporate too though, depends if you include them in the % allocation as being X% season ticket holders then it'll be more like 2

Extra 7k seats.... i personally expect the following roughly. I hope they release the exact numbers but they wont because of the backlash of having so many hospo at Anfield

2.5k GA Season Tickets
2k Corporate / Corporate Season Tickets
2k GA Members Tickets
500 - additional away allocation, locals, sponsors, schools etc..

True - I was looking at the 27k season tickets now which is 50% of total capacity including all corporate and away at present so should in theory be the same with the 7k extra seats. Love to know numbers of 13+ members who are on the waiting list too but thats another discussion

What’s our ST % compared to other clubs? I’m certain the club would love get rid of them if they could given the additional revenue they get from all other types of tickets.

We're at about 50% which is the lowest in the league by a distance. For example - Everton are around 80%, United 70% in a much bigger ground, Arsenal 75%.

Spoke to them a few days back. They have no idea on type of hospitality and pricing and also they will go back to 2017 and start from there. Off the top of my head your looking at a starting price of 4k plus for the cheapest type. Probably know in the next few months. It’s not even a actual waiting list

Thanks for the information.

We’ve been on the waiting list since around 2017 off the top of my head. I’ve queried with them several times about our positions on the waiting list and they’re always rather vague and won’t commit and refer to it not being a list as such.

The starting price of £4,000 being the cheapest seems a bit steep, as that would be more than the entry level prices in the Main Stand I think, (when they were last available) but wouldn’t put anything past them as they clearly know they’ll sell out regardless.

Since the main stand was built they have increased prices by around 1k a ticket. Plus they have removed prices on their enquiry page, to show fake demand as most people will say no at the prices. If we aren’t in the cl next season they won’t sell out either.
