Season ticket packs

Quoted from Poojah

Isn't the opposite true? Can we not get more people in the ground if there are fewer bubbles which are larger in size than a greater number of small bubbles, as that means fewer seats have to remain empty in order to enforce so called social distancing?

I'm not trying to be pedantic, that's just how I had it worked out in my head - conscious I may very well be wrong!

I sort of expect the club to allocate as many seats as possible starting with the biggest bubbles first ie Sixes then fives, fours etc. Surely it’s in everyone’s interests for them to sell as many season tickets as possible.

6 people in a bubble (I presume) then 2 empty seats, then 6 more in a bubble, then 2 empty seats again until the end of the row. Otherwise it's 1 person, 2 empty seats, 1 person, 2 empty seats. Of course bubbles might only be 2 people, but the more sat side by side means less empty seats. Unless I'm being really dumb?

My bubble is only two which would obviously put me towards the bottom end of the priority list on that basis, however under the circumstances I'd completely understand it if that was the approach the club took and I'd go as far as to say that I hope they have the foresight to do that (or something similar)

As others have said though - don't de-prioritise children irrespective of their lower value in the immediate term. We absolutely need to get through this, but we can't afford to kill off the next generation of Town fans either.

Yeah, that's how I understand it. I may have misunderstood your original post as I thought you were suggesting that more bubbles = more availability. Apologies, my bad!

No worries. Socially distanced football matches are a new and inexact science.

More bubbles does mean more availability. If every fan applied singly, it will be the lower figure. If every fan applied as part of a 6 person bubble, it will be the higher figure quoted by the club. It will be somewhere in between of course.

The other thing i have been thinking about is the clubs insistence that tickets cannot be given to someone else if the ticket holder can't attend. Why not?

The seat is bought and paid for, and if for example one of the people in my bubble has a ST and can't attend, my nephew for example, why can't i use his ticket for a seat already paid for? Similarly, why can't someone give an individual seat to a mate, who will be socially distanced from other fans? I've often given my ST to friends and family in the past when i can't attend, and i imagine most other ST holders have, so why not now?

To allow track and trace if there is a flare up amongst attendees at the ground

Have ST's ever been transferable under the t&c's?

Glad I've decided to initially watch the games on iFollow, I'm one of those classed as a "Billy no mates".

Sometimes my wife attends games with me but that's it so probably well down the list anyway.

I'm going to see how it goes and consider buying a half-season ticket later on.

Dunno, but everyone does it. Non attendees can donate unused tickets back to the club for re-sale. Suppose that way they can add said person to the track and trace list, and make another 20 odd quid into the bargain.

Makes sense now I've given it some thought, so fair enough, that answers my question.

Strange times are these.
