Admin Ian M Posted June 6, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 On 03/06/2016 at 20:17, Ian M said: 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. 28/4/16 3874 remaining on BS website 29/4/16 Club announce just over 13k sold. 6/6/16 2981 remaining on BS website. Can't be far from 14k now. Maybe a week from now? I still think the final figure will be somewhere around 15k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYTRAM Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 19 minutes ago, cynic said: I suspect the ST sales may be getting to the point where they have to consider capping them to ensure enough POTD tickets are available within a 22k capacity. The apparent number of corporate seats may also have an impact - seems like that side of things is going very well. I would like to see them open a few blocks on the top tier anyway and blank off the rest - push it up to 24k which may get filled a few times. This keeping the upper West Stand closed is beginning to frustrate me. Surely they can't cap sales just to keep it closed. They must now seriously think about a marketing strategy that involves it being open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that last season, I don't know if it will change this but I found rugby was either Friday or Sunday with football on the Saturday, so you were there 2 days running quite a lot. This allowed joint ST holders to go away and watch the football if they wanted as it wasn't on the same day as the rugby home match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we could be down there for at least a handful of games next season. Don't think we could warrant a season ticket though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons I bought a rugby season card was because Bristol will be playing Exeter,Bath, Goucester,Leicester and Sarries and no doubt at all those games will all be sell outs. I didn't want to miss those matches by missing out on a sold out game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club have never indicated that they wish to restrict season ticket sales so they don't have to open the top tier. We have no reason to believe that it is anything other than a myth perpetuated on this forum. It's not that big a deal to open the top tier on a block-by-block basis and I'd be very surprised if they turned down valuable season ticket sales on this basis. Those people being turned down for season tickets would just become non-STH regulars anyway, so it wouldn't solve the "problem" (if indeed the club considers attendances in excess of 22k to be a problem, which I doubt).

Exactly. Plus opening the upper tier will likely encourage those in the lower areas to free up more seats down below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper 123 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Thanks for all your input I personally think we will get around 20k average and all you doubters should invest in a season ticket which brings me onto ' how Or where do I get a link to buy one " cheers maggsie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted June 18, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 I tweeted some BS bods last week about this. They have had to take sales offline whilst collating the data so they can post them out. Apparently the system can't cope with selling and viewing sales data at the same time.

Does seem pretty crap - we originally had a off the shelf system to rent rooms across several buildings with 300 - 500 rooms per building. When students got there university offers the rooms start to go really quickly and the system would hold the room, automatically print of the contract to send, take the deposit to hold the room for 7 days etc - it worked really well until we had a more bespoke system built by a software company (one that also caused huge problems as people perusing a room would prevent someone else from proceeding to book it, as well as lot's of small niggles). Seems strange when your core business is selling seats you do not have a decent booking system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted June 20, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 1 hour ago, cynic said: No one knows.. The club are hoping for 15k according to Adam Baker recently, but that will be hard to achieve as they are no longer available to buy. Also, the online ticketing system is a mess imo - no change there. I'm fairly confident that the figure is currently somewhere pretty close to 13900 (from sadly analysing when they said we broke through 13k and checking sales daily afterwards) However, as you say, it's going to be very tough to reach the target of 15k when they aren't even available to buy and the wording on the website simply tells potential purchasers that they have missed the chance to buy completely rather than encouraging them to come back later in the Summer. If the intention IS to put them back on sale in July, maybe @Mkellycould have a word with the website team and tell them to adjust the wording so it doesn't tell potential ST holders we don't want their business?
