    I might me lucky. Fingers crossed. What a ******* joke that they think they’ll even 3/4 fill the ground. I’ll
    Join the queue. Oh but I can’t because it’s hidden behind their rubbish bad linked or not linked internet.

    Awful Customer service and arrogance

    Why are you trying to get a season ticket for next season while Gino is still about?

    I have also been told, in a very condescending tone, that there is a waiting list for season tickets.

    It’s utterly laughable that they are trotting this line out.

    I should expect it is some scare tactic to encourage people to renew OR the club are further up their own anal passage than we had previously thought.

    I think people renewed last season, reluctantly, with the knowledge that a promised change in approach would reap rewards. As the club has, arguably, gone further backwards this season I think the renewals rate will be alarming. Pozzo OUT.

    anecdotally so many people are saying they aren’t renewing. It has face value given how the club is at the moment.
    I get that they have to wait until renewals are through but i highly doubt the waiting list is bigger than unused seats

    A lot will relent. Or just go through the auto renewal because they are on DD and can't be bothered to stop it.

    My daughter is nagging me to renew. I'm gonna try and persuade her we are Watford Ladies fans from now on. **** WFC.

    I'm renewing but the website isn't accepting my order and the email address I'm emailing keeps coming back as undeliverable. Assuming their inbox is full from the long weekend.

    Not a surprise. We just can’t compete with other clubs on mailbox capacity.

    Tried to get one last season next to a group of friends and was told I was on a waiting list and the club would call me. Didn't get a phone call and the seat I wanted wasn't sold and has been on general sale all season.

    My brother put his daughter in the waiting list in Feb 2022. Enquired when season tickets went on sale if the spare seat next to him was available. It was and she bought it. I think like most things the list is just an invitation to be a bit proactive and the club reaps the benefits of people enquiring, and when gold yes you can buy, acting immediately. Rather than thinking about it all summer and then deciding not to bother.

    Why are any of you in a rush to renew your season tickets? I'm assuming you get a discount if you get in early? Just remember the quality of player will be discounted next season too probably.

    I want to buy one of the seats either side of the 3 that we have for my nephew as a punishment for getting caught having a crafty fag at school - nothing changes! I've just been told he has to go on the waiting list. When I burst out laughing at the suggestion that there's a waiting list, the ticket office chap seemed quite hurt

    Does anyone have any idea how I go about setting up a new Fan ID? Presumably its buried on the website somewhere

    Assume they have to see just how many people don't renew before the deadline first.

    Once the tumbleweed blows through, those on death row / waiting list get their moment.

    I think you can either set up a new account on the Watford ticket sales website and that creates a Fan ID. Or the TO can do it when you ring to buy tickets.

    Be warned that they have an algorithm that blocks any fake FAN IDs being set up with “Gino” in the title.

    What you do is you go on the website, navigate around abit, eventually find what you think is the right page, fill in the form, submit and then it crashes and you get angry and give up
