A few things to draw from this:
1) it's in place of normal hospitality boxes (Down from 10 to 6)
2) They envisage ballots will be a part of crowds being allowed
for a while.
3) I think it's a shame that they can't find a way to put some
of the STHs into the boxes, given we've already pledged support
by continuing to pay.
4) There's an implication that the club is moving towards
differing prices depending on who the opposition are (talk of
Category C games).

As per the other thread that I started this morning, this is the
sort of thing that the club is going to have to look at in order
to generate all the income that it can.

I did consider putting the link on that thread, but decided to
start a new one.

Prices shown are for Category C but is that a more or less
expensive category to A & B.
Also shows not surprisingly Season ticket holders down to 7000

I would've thought that Category A would be the highest pricing
band. As for the drop in season tickets, as you say it's hardly
surprising, especially if it's families where they have two
adults and a couple of kids. That's a lot of money to put aside
on the off-chance of getting lucky in the ballot maybe 1 out of
3 times. People may have just accepted the last 4 games of the
season for 19/20 if they'd paid upfront, as the money's already
gone , but to speculate on maybe half the season without any
attendance & then only a limited chance of getting in following
that it's a lot for some.

Absolutely agree. I would like to know more about the ballot
process for STs. If you win does your name not get put back in
until all STs have been successful or is there a chance you
could enter and not get a ticket all season? I'm sure their is
still the option to get a full refund but not sure when that
ends.

Members already confirmed for next season, who will have their
own ballot to be able to attend matches, we were faced with the
prospect of not being able to allow anyone else into The Stoop.

Looks like I won't be able to attend any matches next season
then. My Dad is a season ticket holder but I can only make a few
games with him a year due to travelling from Wales. I won't be
in a group of six so unless season ticket holders close to my
Dad are willing to sell their ticket I have no chance. :'(

As one of the 7,000 renewing STH's the bit that concerned me is
that I'll still have to go into a ballot to try to potentially
secure a seat for matches - not even my seat, but probably a
lower category seat somewhere else in the stadium. It may all be
hypothetical anyway if crowds are not allowed to return until
March, but I would have hoped that the Club's priority would be
to accommodate as many of the 7,000 before offering additional
capacity in this way.
