    I haven't got 'round to it yet but will be.

    I need to pull my finger out or there'll be non left.

    In fact that doesn't make sense.

    I have, as have a few others I know, but know a couple at work who definitely are renewing but haven't bothered yet and reckon there's no reason to rush.

    I bought two one for me one for my lad. E4 not sure if i will stay there to be honest, liked the atmosphere of being around the E1 E3 lads & lasses.

    Only problem is working abroad i only get to about 8 matches a season but at least when home i know i dont have to hang on the phone for a ticket.

    On the 11th May last year, we announced that season pass sales were up 25%.

    On 22nd June last year, we announced that season passes were almost sold out(in fact, we sold 18,000 or the 20,000 that were available).

    The renewals went out late this season, so you'd expect them to be running behind last season, but most people renew as soon as they get the paperwork, to make sure they retain their seat, so I think we're way behind where we'd hope to be.

    CTWD have been copied on dozens of letters and emails from fans, who've written to the club demanding to know what we're going to be called before they will renew. As far as we know, none of them have received a response, though we have been assured that the questions sent in by CTWD will be answered shortly. There's another load of people who simply can't afford to renew, there's others not renewing as a protest at being moved out of E1-3 and there's some others who are simply not renewing due to being fed up with the way they feel they've been treated by the club.

    Hull City fans
    Super support: Hull City's season tickets are expected to sell out as fans clamour for passes after the release of the fixture list.
    Comments (23)
    SEASON passes for Hull City's Premier League campaign look set to sell out after the fixture list sparked a spike in demand.

    Passes are expected to sell out next month ahead of the big kick-off in August.

    Since the fixture list was released on Wednesday, the ticket office has fielded twice as many calls from fans desperate to snap up passes to see the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal at the KC Stadium.

    Ash lord, communications manager at Hull City, said: "There's a real sense of excitement now, it's the buzz of the fixtures.

    "The phone lines have been red-hot since the fixture list was announced on Wednesday. The ticket office is taking twice as many calls.

    "Now fans can see the actual match dates, it all seems a bit more real, people can't wait for the Premier League season to kick-off."

    The club expects passes to sell out during pre-season, with almost 19,000 already sold, including a 2,000 hospitality allocation.

    Up to 2,000 tickets are expected to be made available for sale for home games for Tigers fans.

    The club must also allocate at least 2,500 tickets for away supporters at the KC Stadium, which has a capacity of 25,586.

    Season pass prices have been increased by just £10 in all stands from the early bird rate, which saw 14,500 passes sold at last season's prices ahead of the Tigers sealing promotion.

    The cheapest adult passes cost £395, while children under ten can snap up a pass for just £33.

    Mr Lord said: "We have not introduced big increases since becoming a Premier League club. We want as many supporters to come as possible.

    "Up to 2,000 tickets will be on sale for home matches for fans who haven't got a season pass.

    "We're already getting calls from people asking when tickets will go on sale for the home game against Manchester United on Boxing Day and that isn't for months yet."

    Excitement is expected to intensify as the players return from their holidays in the first week in July, followed by the launch of the new home kit, which will see the return of black and amber stripes.

    Mr Lord said: "There will be more of a buzz when the players come back because we will be in the papers and on TV and we will see more interviews and hear more about Hull City."

    Tony Conway, chairman of Hull City Official Supporters Club, said: "Now we have names next to the dates on the fixture list, it's really exciting for the fans.

    "It's important to have a sell-out crowd at the KC Stadium for the new season because is shows everyone is behind the club.

    "It's good for income, there's more money available to invest in players and it creates a tremendous atmosphere on match days.

    "It makes all the difference in the world to the players because they know all the fans are behind them."

    Was an honest mistake. Not like I've had to make a public apology to anyone is it?

    I've no info to base this on, but I'm expecting a fall of 2000-3000 season ticket sales.

    Games against Cat A will all be sold out anyway, as will games in Cat C (due to the cheap match day tickets)

    It's the Cat B games that will suffer........

    I've just seen someone saying that James Mooney mentioned on Sportstalk that we've only sold 8k so far.

    If that's the case, it's a disaster, we haven't even managed half of last seasons sales yet.

    i haven't...........yet.

    Tight budget and having been only able to pay over 8 months and price rise means direct debit goes up 50%

    also very pissed off with the deceit coming out of the club.

    I've got until 1st july to retain my seat which i probably will do but could well be my last season as the lad will no doubt end up going with his mates before long.

    8k would clearly be a disaster. If that is really the case I would expect them to toss out a bunch of money on players. I cant see any other way to get fans excited about the new season.

    Our home support as a whole will suffer, these empty seats will just ensure more local scabs and misfits get to worm their way in to see their beloved top 4 teams.
