Bat Fastard Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I have just added up the seats available on the Bristol Sport site and it looks like 2697 left for our fans. Does anyone know the original available number! I thought it was around 19000 - and if that is right, it means that we have sold more than 16000 so far! Can that be right?

Can that be right? that doesn't include the upper tier so its around 14k sold we need to get to 18k for them to open the upper tier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 No, it's not right. If we had sold 16,000 season tickets then the club would be shouting it from the rooftops (record sales) As it is, on that basis, I wouldn't think we've yet broken the record which I believe was a little under 14k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 That reminds me of the bit at the end of For a Few Dollars More, when Clint Eastwood was having trouble with his adding! Thanks for clearing that up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are 2697 left I would have taken that to be from 20,000 available seats? Which doesn't make sense as I agree with @Bar BS3 the club haven't said anything about record sales, and we know they would be shouting from the rooftops if they had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richwwtk Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 The day the Tomlin signing was announced (a week or so ago?) there were 2795 available, so that would suggest we have sold around 100 since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted July 18, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Doesn't help that figures will be distorted by not knowing how many seats are set aside for corporate (and what the take up there is) or how many have been set aside for Community (my guess is most of S24 as they kicked out existing STHs from there). What we as fans have been able to gather is that at the end of the initial renewal+general sale period, the club announced there had been just over 13k bought. At this time there was 3874 left for sale on the BS website. Now there are almost 1200 fewer seats remaining on the website but there has been no announcement of setting a new record for ST sales, despite the previous record being 13,663.

Trueredsupporter Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 SL and BS have got the prices spot on. Any lower and its no Tomlin etc. Steve should not have to pay for everything as well as virtually a new ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueredsupporter Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Sponsorship wont cover what City lose. Not interested in Reading. City have lost huge amounts of money and always SL coughs up and has built a new ground costing tens of millions . Still fans moan. Prices are spot on.

I don't think it's that people are moaning about the prices in themselves. Just that we need to fill the ground by encouraging nee supporters along. A more creative pricing policy could deliver similar or greater revenue and mean the ground is fuller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too simplistic to say "lower prices = no Tomlin". Lower prices does not necessarily equate to less income. If the prices had been lower, the club may have sold more season tickets, flogged more beers and pasties, and generated more income overall. Although I suspect the club HAVE got the price point about right, it's by no means certain and not the simple equation you make it out to be.
