Friend of mine who was 7,000+ on the list last year, has just been offered one for the coming season!

Aparently about 2000 ST were not taken up.

In recent years about 1 in 4 supporters take up the offer of a ST.

So upto 8000 on the list should get an offer.

I was 7001 and was offered this year (although ive defered until next season).

AST have confirmed that up to 13,000 on the ST waiting list were offered this summer!!!!!

From what I've worked out via various channels is that a lot have defered.

Seems odd that only 2,000 didn't renew especially as with the costs going up and the team plodding along again that last year that figure was 5,000.

Difficult to know but I wonder if literally thousands have choosen to taken up the seat move option.
If thousands have moved from the uppers to the lower tiers then the 6% doesn't really effect them as their saving money through the ST cost.

If the AST are right then around 10,000 on the waiting list are one year deferers!

Hmmm, seeing how unpopular the upper tier seats are, I wouldn't put it past the club to bring the lower tier ticket prices more in line with the upper tier ones, they could then possibly stop the upper tier defections to the lower in one fell swoop, and make money on the back of it to boot.

Don't give them idea's!

I think the pricing is wrong in anycase. Maybe not the central part of the upper tier but the rest should be cheaper then the lower.

I've been offered 2 ST's from number 8??? on the waiting list . No seats together apparently in lower tier so only upper available .

If u dont take up the offer, are you moved to the end of the list or removed from it ?

Once Arsenal granted my request to defer, the email they sent me implies that if i am not able to take up a ticket offer in the future, that will be it.
I guess to answer your question, you're off the list and you'd have to pay another Â£15 to go back on it.

I'd imagine i am entitled to my Â£15 back then ?
