With a good finish to the season we could end up with at least half the stadium full with sason ticket holders. Added to that the away support of teams like Newcastle? , Villa etc, we could have some good crowds next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the figure will increase by Sunday midnight but a bit worrying. Still I'm one of many getting a brand new season ticket for the first time in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 By 27th April last year we'd sold 11,800 but given the reduced capacity, I guess there was more reason to buy early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 There will be another 1 (or more) bought once it goes to membership people, I can guarantee it. Arent we still at the point where there are reservations? So could still be Season Ticket holders waiting for that to change if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy082005 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Can't see it going much above 12k unless they really start making some noise in the summer. Don't under estimate how much of an anti climax last summer was, this season has been and of course, the Lee Johnson appointment . A lot of fans could eye up POTD and see how the first half the season goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinman-is-god Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 If they halved the prices. we'd double sales and be sold out each week and have loads of matchday revenue coming in. But that would require some actual thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I expect with the new u25 cheaper season ticket price I think we could push 15,000. Still think we missed a trick with cheaper season tickets because no one will want to see empty red seats ! Only thing to stop That will be success on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is true either don't we have the highest participation of amateur football outside of London? Too busy playing football I suppose rather than watching it We also have a decent crowd for the rugby which would be much better in top flight. And cricket is pretty big too!

GrahamC Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Didn't someone say last week the blue few sold 3200 this season? That is some gap. I can see ours reaching 15,000 before the start of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good friend of mine is a Bradford fan and they for years struggled to sell season tickets. They reduced prices significantly and as a result sold over 18,000 season tickets last year. This has resulted in increased matchday spending, more % of seats filled and works. If we reduced prices a lot, we could sell 20k season tickets comfortably. That would mean with even 500 away fans and only 1k POTD you would have a minimum crowd of 21,500. Yes you would not make as much on season ticket sales as charging a shed-load for 15k season tickets but the overall benefits of cutting costs and getting people at the game makes it a worthwhile investment. Cannot believe more clubs have not followed the Bradford model. It works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can deny that all the excitement and momentum going into this season was shocked out of the fans before a ball was even kicked last summer. Gomake some marquee signings. Get off to a good start.

gordie Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I would think 1100-11500 season ticket holders will need to renew if we are going to reach 15000-16000, struggling to see that at the moment but I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that clubs want fans to spend their match day in the stadium and their money makes more sense. I'd buy one plus two juveniles and a mate would as well but we work shifts so can't do it, so memberships again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 10k is very good sales thus far, not quite sure what people were expecting at this stage? Over 80% have renewed and it's likely that with a new stand opening many of the other 20% are waiting for good seats to free up in the other three stands. Still quietly confident of around 15k, which would be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodjias Wrist Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I know everyone slates the board for the ticket prices and what not. But seriously do you think they wouldn't have considered making it cheaper if it would benefit both income and attendances. In the short term yes maybe cheap tickets would work but what if we went down. The attendances would drop again and the club would be getting less income. Still I'm.no expert but I'm sure Steve landsdown and Co made a huge amount of money being clever business men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think our fans do pay through the nose. Free kids tickets in The Family stand,Under 22's £115 in the South Stand, Under 19's at £99, under 12's £50. Good value if you ask me.
