If we did, we would have higher average than Ipswich, B'ham, Hull, Reading, Fulham, Burnley, The Welsh, Bolton, B'burn. Maybe for the first few games and some of the big clubs like Villa and the Toon, but as an average, I'd expect the figure would be affected by some of the games that will no doubt pull in lower crowds - Burton, Rotherham, Huddersfield, Brentford, Preston, etc. If we only got say 16/17k for those games (which is most likely), then we'd need some high attendances to reach 19k as an average. Unless of course we sign Lee Tomlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 It depends on how the average is worked out. If it is tickets sold plus freebies handed out then it could be quite a high number. Say 15k season tickets, 2k freebies (although that sounds high), 1.5k away gives you 18.5k. On that basis anything between 16.5 and 19 is achievable. If it is actual paying customers through the turnstiles on the day - a lot less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with every guesstimate on this thread, all guess work, conjecture and bullshit. I do think there is some truth in the posts that say if we had managed 14k sold, the club would have mentioned it by now ( I'm still guessing though). Not sure why the figure hasn't been released, maybe they're waiting for the stellar signing, or until the cards go out but until then ..... I think we will average 17 - 18,000 , and that's allowing for larger away following and a few big gates to bump the average, but not allowing for two massive signings and starting the season like a train!!

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 For the last couple of weeks the number of season tickets still available seems to be dropping by 20-30 per day. At those rates we would be looking at an extra 1000+ STs to be sold by the start of the season which could take us in excess of 15,000 based on estimate of 13,900 already sold. Obviously the Atyeo is almost sold out, but based on the current rate of sales the South Stand and Family Sections will also sell out ahead of the first game leaving POTD only in the Dolman and Williams.

MigratedRobin Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Would it be a logistical nightmare for s.t. holder fans in the Lower West stand to have the ability to move into the Upper if the club open it up for extra capacity reasons? The club could leave all seats in the upper tier as a free for all? Probably can't work though for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'd like to think we'll make a couple of big, early summer signings to show intent. It may boost sales and then open the top tier for ST holders. Not only would that be a nice thing in general, but it would also allow me to move my (plus 6) up to the top tier. West stand lower is fine, but I wanna be in that ******* top tier! Tis currently rather frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always get a job as a sports reporter, best seats in the house. very surprised where the journos are sitting, prime seats that would have sold for a premium I think.

Put away fans, and potd, and your up to 19k on a bad day. If we've sold around 14k season tickets, and end up selling another 1,000 or so (optimistic?) I'd be very surprised if "on a bad day" we had 4,000 combined POTD and away fans. I.e. For a Burton @ home on a cold winter Tuesday. I think we will break 20k a couple of times, but we won't average 19k. There will be too many circa 16k crowds that will bring the average down. I doubt we will sell more than 15k season tickets.

The Heineken Lounge is around 500 corporates (?) who take up seats in S18. Where are the other 1300 or so coming from ? And where do they sit ? Middle seats don't count as season tickets.
