What's all the hand-wringing about? Vik is going, we've known that for a while, what's the sudden furore? We take our time and wait for bids. As someone has pointed out, a difference in the fee of £2-3 million is the equivalent of selling 8000 season tickets. We have to get this right.

Think we're a long way from that. There are still 15000 empty seats (assuming we've sold around 11000 at this point). I would imagine there will still be 10000 or so seats available for every game even without opening up 11-13. We need to keep that option for individual games though.

That is high, I think 20% were first time season ticket holders last season, so really encouraging. Getting over 20K is unrealistic I'd say, but would be absolutely delighted if we did. I think we're heading for 16-17K which would be great. I doubted we'd get that high so glad to be proved...

I'd say they were decent if you're on the button when they go up. Historically, 20-25% of season ticket holders don't renew. Might be a bit less this season, but when you factor in all those that have moved to family zone, there should be several thousand in the east stand available on the 3rd.

I'd wait, but it's July 3rd, not next week. Easy enough to move them though.

Oh definitely, difficult to compare really. I imagine sales will slow for the next 3-4 weeks. FZ is gone, and no point buying now when all the good seats are reserved.

We'd sold 11,500 by mid may last season, so must have been over 12K by now.

We're obviously some way behind where we were at this stage last year, but obviously delays and a few weeks to go. I hope we exceed last season's total. I've noticed lots of clubs reporting selling record numbers, Birmingham City seen a big increase, Bolton have sold 16,000, Preston sold a...

I recall you said this at the time, but the u turn on opening the North stand blocks had nowt to do with the pricing and was simply a response to ST holders in those blocks objecting to the prospect of moving and the uncertainty as they wanted to buy a PL package.

Sure, but I believe the point was that the FZ allocation has sold out after 1 day. This means from this point forward that offer is not available, and this will inevitably result is some supporters now not buying season tickets who otherwise would have done at the offer price. In a stadium that...

No, they need to build a sustainable future, so that is a balance between maximising both revenues and attendances, keeping the fanbase engaged and ensuring the matchday experience is as good as it can be. Big attendances certainly help that. It isn't just about bottom line, that is short...

Looking like we may get close to last years total. To exceed 13.5K would be great but a big ask. I know a few new ST holders, but similar amounts not renewing, so I suspect it will be similar numbers, but it could be that loads are waiting to July 3rd owing to poor seat choice at the moment.

Behind a paywall, but if it's the article I think it is, it's just a comparison of revenues between PL and Championship. We get 12.5% of all semi final gate receipts after costs and 25% of final (or 50% if Luton gift theres to us). That's all we get. As many others have stated it'll £2 million...

How have you arrived at that figure, it's way out! Nowhere near that. Semi finals worth about £300K to us. Final about £1.7 million if Luton gave us their share, otherwise half that.

No TV money for play offs. All goes to EFL.

Yep, it's about £2 million total. Some crazy estimates here.

There will be loads on Jul 3rd, I would wait.

The family zone looks like it will sell out soon enough, clearly a lot of people moving here to avoid price hikes and take advantage of the offer. Wonder what they will do when it is full, perhaps use 25, 26? That does mean other parts of the ground will need to be used for POTG. I suspect the...

Yeah, would enable people to buy earlier but doesn't work like that unfortunately. Will have the pick of the best seats on July 3rd, should be quite a few come available.

They won't be available until the 3rd.
