The Fun Factory Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Its a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy season tickets. Now it has become a seemingly in demand commodity more people will renew. In the past unless you were a complete die hard many people perhaps didn't get a season ticket as 1-most games didn't sell out and 2- comparatively to a lot of other clubs our match day tickets were fairly cheap. One of the Lambert seasons (13-14?) I didn't bother renewing as I could get tickets in the upper trinity for most games via a secondary website from about £12 to £20 a game. Later when I couldn't make a game in the Championship in the Bruce years you had to practically give your season card away. Now a different story.

I'm sure the club won't want to go through the whole refund process again. Outdoors by late August? Doubtful. Unless there's a variant at large which escapes the vaccine. Which is possible of course, but it certainly shouldn't dictate the clubs plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there’s an Indian Variant going around but we never know it might be gone by the time the season starts in August, and I also think maybe all of us will be vaccinated by then.

Let's say we get 75% of the population vaccinated with a vaccination effectiness of of 90%. And assume a hospitalisation rate of 6%. You can easily see how the virus will still spread. Add in the current assumption that the Indian variant spreads more easily and only those who have two vaccinations are fully protected against it. Many scientists were predicting the peak of the 3rd wave at the end of August -even before the rise of the new variant. It will surprise me if there are full stadiums in August tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Purslow did mention season tickets in his interview. Just wondering if they have decided to hold fire until the government decide to end social distancing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it will never leave China, the NHS can cope, the new normal by July 2020 ! Guess we will have to wait and see. I guess I get a different perspective working in hospital. But a senior guy told me last Feb - this would kick around with peaks and waves for around 2 years - he's looking bang on with his estimate so far (imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if they may sell with a contingency plan for refunds at the end of next season or a balance carry over I really can't see 42000 cramming in August.

They probably have plan A to about E given the last 18 months. Oh for things to be vaguely normal again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had 75% vaccinated with a 90% efficacy (your numbers) then no, there would be no '3rd wave', in my opinion. That's just maths. Edited June 1, 2021 by dont_do_it_doug.

I reckon what will happen is they might make an announcement today publishing ticket details and maybe later on in the week they’ll release it in full and allowing us to purchase. Purslow said week commencing 31st May, not on the 31st itself. They way their not mentioning it on the social channels is their probably keeping it a surprise in my thinking.

That's just maths. It's not just maths at all. It's the interpretation of the maths. That's still 17m people totally vulnerable to the virus. Chile had a significant wave despite a significant vaccine role out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
