Town have launched a season ticket waiting list but with no new sales planned before the end of this campaign.

The waiting list, which can be found here, is open to fans who were club members - Super Blues, International Blues or Junior Blues, including Foals - in either the 2023/24 or 2024/25 seasons and have renewed for 2025/26.

Supporters can join the waiting list now with the window to sign up running until 5pm on Monday 1st December 2025.

All those who sign up will be randomly placed in a queue following the closure of the window with this order then used to allocate the opportunity to purchase a season ticket as and when they become available.

The process will allow supporters to apply as a single person or as a group as long as everyone in the group meets the criteria above.

Fans who become members for first time during 2025/26 will become eligible to join the waiting list should they renew their membership for 2026/27. Members who opt not to renew next season will lose their place in the ballot.

Town say further information on the process will follow at the end of the season with an FAQ here.

The Blues have had around 20,000 season ticket holders for the last few seasons with none having gone on sale ahead of the last two campaigns.

jungleboy added 17:01 - Oct 15 This is quite disappointing as there won't be many new season tickets allocated. We all know how hard it is to be successful in an Ipswich Town ballot. It would have been much fairer to real fans to have asked for membership for all three seasons 2023-4, 2024-5 and 2025-6.

virginblue added 19:56 - Oct 15 Anytime I tried to get tickets for family on their memberships last season I managed to get them, so not quite sure how this “isn’t fair”.

WalkRules added 20:03 - Oct 15 People stopped buying memberships as no chance of buying away tickets. Now you have to buy a membership this year.to be able to join the waiting list. Coincidence?

mattyboar added 20:33 - Oct 15 @jungleboy Not sure what you’re on about re: ballots. I’ve won 3 so far this season, granted only 1 last season, but I suspect some people have dropped off. I feel it’s fair, membership is much about helping support the club and getting home priority, it’s not all about away tickets.

BotesdaleBlue added 07:01 - Oct 16 The fact that the club has needed to introduce this is amazing, when you think back at the state of the club and level of support in the ME years. Going back further; I'm thinking mid to late 1980's under Duncan and mid - late 1990's under Burley, season tickets were very low indeed, with the overall attendances for some league matches struggling to surpass 10,000 on a few occasions. In conclusion, I would say the introduction of the waiting list, in whatever form it takes, should be seen by fans as a milestone in our history and development. I for one, never thought I'd ever see it, until Gamegchanger 20 came on the scene and started to change our beloved club beyond recognition.

ElvisMariner added 07:32 - Oct 16 Will be interesting to see how many fans are on the waiting list as this will surely determine how soon the redevelopment of the Cobbold Stand starts. Also once the Training Ground development is complete.

atty added 09:29 - Oct 16 A mate of mine is a season ticket holder and his family who are members do t seem to seem to have trouble getting tickets quire regularly. A guy who is a member sat next to me for the Pompey game( usual guy in hospital) and said it was so much easier this season.

mattyboar added 13:21 - Oct 16 @ElvisMariner I stand corrected on this seasons ballots then! It would be interesting to understand the volume of applicants though, granted unlikely to ever be divulged!

Bazza8564 added 15:28 - Oct 16 Keep in mind MA said last season he would have to lose 4000 seats to knock Cobbold down or close part of it, and that he could extend West stand back and gain that 4000 straight back. I expect that will be done in the next 1-2 years with a transluscent roof to tie in with both ends. The cobbold would be last to complete the stadium. We will need 38-40000 to cover demand in the PL especially if we stabilise there

BotesdaleBlue added 16:08 - Oct 16 Bazza - I agree with your reading of the situation. Also, with that lot up the road having a plan to increase the capacity of carrot road to around 35,000, that sort of ultimate ground capacity would keep us above them on that measure, which is important in my book.

Runner added 19:28 - Oct 16 Agree about adding 4k to West Stand first. I believe the Cobbold Stand is a little under 7k at the moment. That would drop us down to 27k for the approx 2 seasons for a complete rebuild of Cobbold Stand, which could be 13k no problem with the road being moved/ changed. Very approx figures at present: SAR 7500, SBR 6500, West 9000, Cobbold 7000 for 30k. 30k less 7k plus 4k plus 13k = 40k. That would be great.
