We will do, but there's currently 3,000 unsold which is plenty. I checked on April 28 and there were 3874 available, today it was something like 3030.

Coz 3,000 ain't a lot for general sale Don't know but we were averaging about 1,500 POTD last season, so maybe if we sold another 1,000 ST's (which is probably unlikely) then they'd have to consider opening the top tier.

EASTEND WURZEL Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 we have sold 1100 odd since they were put on general sale and there are as near as makes no difference 3,000 left dotted around , I would be very surprised if the total hasn't surpassed 15,000 , but its like most things BCFC ......speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a season ticket when I was 10 for 5 or 6 seasons but haven't had one since. I'd echo what others have said - you'll soon get chatting to those around you. There have been periods of time when I have gone on my own (both home and away games) and it's absolutely fine. Much easier than the last few seasons when I've had my kids in tow!

So cross referencing your cont with the announcement the next day that just over 13000 had been sold tells us that 3874 remaining is approximately 13000 STs. Right now it is 3003, so that would suggest sales are approximately 13900. I expect we will finish somewhere between 15000-16000 if we buy well, or around 14250 if we don't.

Just done a quick count and there's around 3,100 seats available. Whichever way you cut it up that's just over 16k seats sold for next season. What the break-up is between season ticket holders, hospitality and schools/BCCT is we can only speculate I suppose. Bottom line though, assuming the club aren't randomly holding back tickets for POTD, is that we will be averaging comfortably over 19k next season when you add on POTD (approx 1,500) and away fans (approx 1,500). When away sides sell-out we'll be getting over 20k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are I'll pay for you to have the spare seat next to me. In case you weren't aware it is traditional for season ticket holders to celebrate goals by cuddling the person sat next to them and swapping shirts at the end of the game.

Wanderingred Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 As many have said already, the club would most certainly inform us with great joy if we passed a milestone like 15k season tickets sold so its almost certain that we've sold less than that. I'd guess at just shy of 14k with the final figure being somewhere around 14,500 which would be good. 1.5k-2k pay on the day plus 1-1.5k average away following and that's an average gate of about 17,500-18,000. Also bear in mind that there will be a cap on ST sales and a fair chunk of seats are going to be left for pay on the day. This is amongst other reasons, to avoid people getting in a strop when the top tier has to be opened for non-st holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree - really can't see why some think we'll sell out a few times next season. 27k won't happen - we won't entice an extra 10k just because Benitez is in town... ....and if I'm wrong I'll be both surprised and delighted and I'll apologise, but I just can't see it.

I think you will be surprised, if we are doing well crowds of 22-25k will be regular imo. In 07/08 we would have had crowds of that ilk against stoke, west brom, palace etc if capacity had permitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the sell outs last season and all the empty seats. Rather than dismiss it as a "poor season", maybe most fans are able to differentiate between our poor first half of the season, and our vastly improved second half, which has given justified cause for optimism heading into the new campaign. An inconvenient truth for you of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. 16-17k are already guaranteed to be used already next season. Plus 1,000 away fans and pay on the day, id be very surprised shouldn't we average over 19,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
