Mr Popodopolous Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 That's excellent news! Great sales. Would be interesting to know the breakdown of season tickets to half season tickets- simply because I recall a certain number on here saying they were not renewing at various stages last season.

AshtonPark Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Well this is crazy really. Rovers sold their most ever season tickets this year 5,410, we nearly have 10,000 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you could say that we have 3x as many fans as the gas, or that our fanbase is 200% greater than theirs, or that 3 out 4 Bristolians support City.

Anyone know how many season ticket holders we had before the half season ones were available. Not for this season, but thought it interesting comparing to when the rebuild was taking place https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/bristol-city-season-tickets-to-be-capped-at-12-500/ Bristol City will cap season tickets for 2015/16 at 12,500, with fewer than 700 left available for sale. The season ticket deadline remains April 30th, but sales could be stopped earlier due to high demand during the general sale period. Of all season tickets bought to date, more than a third have been purchased via the new online system. The new South Stand and Atyeo Stand singing section sold out last week, quickly followed by the Family Corner. The only seats that remain are in the Dolman Stand, which will be reopened in full for the new campaign. Andrew Billingham, Bristol Sport chief executive, said: “Everyone is absolutely delighted with the response from the fanbase and we can look forward to many more packed houses in the new season. “To have our new Family Corner sold out shows we are really looking after the fans of the future. Understandably the new South Stand and the Atyeo Stand signing section have also proved extremely popular. “At present we’re working towards a deadline of April 30th, but if sales continue at the current pace then it’s likely we’ll bring it to an end before then, given our reduced capacity for next season.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it'll top 2,000 by the time they're off-sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Fantastic number. I see the article states that there has also been a "huge lift" in member sales. As I've just pointed out on the United thread, my suggestion that not all members were guaranteed a ticket was mocked by some but - when also considering the Bristol Rugby season ticket holders - it doesn't seem unreasonable to me now. In fact I'd suggest any new members who haven't been to any other games at all may well struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't Norwich sell about 23,000 season tickets every season? Mind you they do an East Anglian family deal - buy a season ticket and the whole family get one free, so they only actually get paid for about 100! !

Capacity inc segregation is around 26,500. 26,500 - 2,600 United fans = 23,900 23,900 - 15,300 = 8,600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they should still only be able to buy one ticket for the Man U match before general sale (but guess it depends if they used the same supporter id)? If so, would reduce the number of "eligible" members for the priority period. If not, it wouldn't seem right that they could buy two tickets in the priority period (one for season card, one with membership). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the assumption that they've used the same one then they'll still only get one ticket. If they've been sneaky and used a different name and/or address, they'll be able to buy two - but I don't think you can really blame the club for that. At the end of the day it's down the individuals to do the right thing so everyone gets a fair chance of a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on that count then the number of "eligible" members for the Man U priority period will not include members that have bought a half season card so will slightly offset the "surge" in membership sales.

I think the appeal of United will draw in plenty of rugby STH with a very casual interest in football, in a way that no ordinary league game ever would. I'd be very surprised if the game made general sale in light of today's announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
