With the invite emails out from the club it will be interesting to find out how many of the signed up STHs say yes we want to attend.
Hopefully the numbers pose a problem for the club in their desire to be do an even handed split. However I can see a fair few being reluctant.
No info yet about car parking. It might be good if they just for this one match extended last year's access.
-
4 hopefuls here.
-
Two here - really looking forward to getting back to live rugby.
-
I don’t think we have 7500 STHs? So we should all be getting seats.
I suspect the bigger issue is around Social Distancing meaning STHs not being guaranteed to sit in their usual seats hence the survey.
-
Our concern is about parking. Having donated the remainder of last seasons parking fees to the Club, I will be less than amused if I am unable to get a parking space for this match.
-
Although I donated the residue of my 19/20 ST to the club, I did not take up the 20 - 22 option. I may well be back for 21/22 ST. I would hope that as having had a ST since 2002, might help me to get a ticket for the Tigers fgame!
-
Two STH's here unable to go :'(
-
If Covid hits either team or medical dictats change then there might not be anything to go to. Lets hope for the Club's sake I'm being a wet blanket.

At least we might get 4 points like virtually every other team (except us and Exeter).

You're full of the joys! When was the last COVID cancellation in the Premiership? About February?? When infection levels nationally were far, far higher than they are currently and only a small fraction of the population had received their first vaccine, never mind their second.
-
I haven't notice any Premiership players posting on social media about having had their vaccination yet. I wouldn't be surprised if many are holding off until after the end of the season in case of side effects.
-
They’ve only just got in to the age range for most rugby players, although Jimmy will have been eligible some to ago :)
It would be a bit short sighted and a bit anti social not to get them when due if all the PR I get on the radio is to be believed.

Lions squad got first jab yesterday after getting government clearance. Likely to get 2nd jab in 3 weeks time.
-
But the Lions won't be at the Tigers match
-
Tickets on General Sale tomorrow so hopefully those that have applied have been allocated a seat somewhere.
-
I think that I am so looking forward to going back to the Ricoh after all this time that I can't quite believe it will come true! I haven't yet got to marking off the days on the kitchen wall but probably will soon.
-
Looking forward to getting back, we have applied for our 2 tickets.
Have Saints and Irish matches to attend 1st. Really looking forward to some live rugby again.
-
We are going to the Irish game but cannot go to Leicester game unfortunately.
-
If I was a player at this stage in the season I'd be reluctant to get the jab on a game week (if eligible for it, most still won't be). Wait for a week without a game, in case you get a bit of a reaction.
I'm not suggesting they don't get vaccinated etc, just that in their shoes, I'd not be in a rush to get jabbed two days before a match etc.

Better on the other thread methinks but I agree with you. Except as Worcester demonstrated many teams over the last month have had fallow weeks.
-
Busy online this morning but did manage to get one!
-
Just snapped some up. Not a great spot, but delighted just to get in this season, plus a Leicester finale!
Quick and painless process, too (so much easier than getting tickets for Stoop/Women last w/e and Brentford/Irish next...).
Anyone clued up on hospitality options? Tempted if not to pricey but couldn't spot online and didn't want to risk not getting tickets.
-
Have any ST holders received confirmation of their seats yet? I am reading that general sale tickets have been confirmed but I have received nothing after having completed the Club ST survey

Nothing here. Concerning that if you purchased your ticket today you know your seat apparently. I did hear that STHs are being assigned seats by hand due to the varying group size. We will see.
-
Nothing here. Yet.
-
General sale tickets no sold out!
-
Having just decided we would risk going to match -and then getting back for a diamond anniversary celebration ,found tickets sold out! See that some may be available next week, presumably after deadline for STHs to make decision . Maybe just destined to spend evening with in laws.

Emails just received acknowledging completion of STH survey and confirmation of seats / arrangements to foolow

E-mailed the club on Thursday regarding disabled parking.
No parking on sale yet but hospitality gets you a parking space.
-
Just received email regarding seats(same as s/t) but still nothing about parking.
E-mailed Wasps on Thursday and still no response regarding any sort of parking.
-
ST holders I know have received their seat allocation, but we haven't (we did receive Wasps vs. Leicester Tigers: Survey Confirmation).
Is this the same for other ST holders or should I contact Ticket Office?

Same here - and for friends of ours.

Received confirmation email but not seat allocation yet also.
-
Still awaiting seat confirmation, but the person I sit next to has had his through. His surname begins with A, where as mine begins with S.
-
I wondered if they might be working "bubbles" out from the most expensive ST'S first then spreading everyone else out appropriately.
-
Try phoning the Ticket Office. They are run off their feet I think.

Remember, despite games being played some staff could still be on furlough.
I read that once the football season had finished for some clubs they had put staff back on furlough that aren’t needed for close season. I’m pretty sure one was Spurs!
-
Is anyone else still awaiting seat confirmation?

Yes

Yes.
-
We're still waiting
-
Still waiting here as well, and to dispel some of the comments above, my surname starts with A and we have 2nd highest level of ST, so neither seem to have anything to do with allocation.
Also did ours on the day the survey arrived.
-
Just discovered my 4 family tickets been sent to the old email address I allocated to my 10 year old daughter rather than any adult (yes she probably is more responsible!) so if you have a group check the young ones as well.
To be fair at half time today wasn't too bothered they hadn't arrived!
-
Mine have come through today
-
Mine came through today too, 21 rows in front of where I sit. Not exactly over the moon about it.
-
Seen an email which suggests will be complete on Tuesday.
-
Ticketing update here
https://www.wasps.co.uk/fixtures-results/gameday-guide/?id=253274&teamId=100889
-
Notification has arrived - says they are being posted!
We've been moved down about 10 rows and across about 5 seats, so won't be sitting in line with centre this match - but who cares we're going to the rugby!

Just received my seat allocation. Moved from west stand 10 mtr (Blk E) row R to east stand 5 mtr line just under the roof. Having "donated" more than £1000 to help the Club I am NOT IMPRESSED. I have, without fail, occupied my seat for every home match since Wasps moved to the Ricoh and if I see green and white in my seat at the match it will be the last penny I contribute to the money machine Wasps has become.
-
Just wondering if everyone has been moved out of the West stand, looked on the weekend games it seemed as if most clubs had those sort of areas around the tunnel / changing room sparsely populated by presumably those closely connected to their bubble to keep it secure in line with Prem rugby / Covid regs?
Your swap doesn't sound like for like either way.
-
I also sit in the West stand (E) and have been moved over to the East stand (19), a bit lower than I would have liked (row C), our seats in the west are as low as I would normally want to sit, but at least it is still close-ish to the 10m, I expected to get moved as we sit just behind and to the side to the Wasps Dugout so would be in prime seats for support staff etc.

Understand your concerns. It is, however, a one off game.
I did not renew after 19 years last time around. I have have always had a seat around the halway life whether it be at AP or the Ricoh. I am undecided as to whether I buy a new ST come next season.
For Saturday, I bought a general sale ticket and will be in the gods in the W corner of the North Stand. Different perspective on the game for sure, but it's only for one game.
These are exceptional times.
-
Consider yourself lucky that you can get and see a live game. Since my ST days at Loftus Road, my disabilities have progressed to the point that even just getting to the ground would be an impossible struggle, let alone watching a game.
-
I've been buying tickets for the 2 away games as well, no choice about where to sit for either of them, although I think at Irish I could have paid more for a side ticket in the try area, very much the luck of the draw when you bought them as to what you got, both matches I ended up behind the posts, at Saints was a reasonable way up so decent view, at Irish I was in row A, so had to keep looking round the players warming up, plus everything happened at the other end!
-
I don't know if we're doing the same thing, but at Irish every other row was left unoccupied, and so that's going to be problematic if preferred seats happen to be in a row that needs to be left clear.
-
The person who sits in front of us has his normal seat, so probably we are moving, not heard yet. However, if the worst thing that happens to me as a result of a global pandemic is that I get worse than usual seats for a match at the Ricoh then I consider myself pretty lucky.

Well said.
-
We have not yet heard but our friends next to us are moved from the West to East 22. They are not delighted but grateful that they can attend and say goodbye to good servants of the club.

Saints did it different, they used every row but had people off-set, so we had big gaps beside us and 2 rows in front but people in the row in front were diagonal to where we were, so like a chess board.

That would work, the empty row thing was nice when people wanted to go to the loo, or the bar, as they just stepped into a clear row and then no-one else had to move.

Let’s just say Irish were more relaxed about seating and moving about , and wearing than Saints were the previous week .

Shuttle buses are running from Coventry station according to West Midlands Trains.

Finally got ours. I emailed an apologetic message at lunchtime and got a fairly quick response but my other half got the seat message despite me applying. Strange. Moved from West to East but as a one off not bad positioning.
They told me tickets starting to be posted today.

Thanks, I emailed at lunchtime, not heard yet. Our usual seats are on the East, perhaps we've been bumped for you "Westies" :)
Hopefully news is imminent.

Etix arrived this afternoon.
