Any idea how many season tickets we've sold? (or rather, how many have people tried to buy?)
Not as many as we would have if there was a DD option!

(Think I read 4-4.5k somewhere)
Between 4,000 & 5,000 so long way to go but getting there, hopefully.
Seeing as we're using paper season tickets why not run a direct debit scheme and send the tickets out every couple of months. If you haven't paid you don't get your next batch of tickets.
Don't see how that is legal tbh
Why not? What would not be legal about only sending tickets when they've been paid for?
They have to be a registered credit organisation to offer a scheme so would need a finance provider to under write the scheme. The finance provider would ensure a customer is liable for the whole payment - they cannot just default when they feel like it.
They wouldn't be offering credit though. There's 19 home games left I think. So you split them into 5 blocks and charge pro rata, at the ST rate or slightly higher to allow for the extra admin, taking payment by standing order, direct debit or card. Lets say you pay your first instalment today you get your first batch of 4 game tickets. After the next 4 home games another payment is taken and you get the next batch of 4 games.
At no point are you ever getting tickets for games you haven't already paid for so you're not getting credit. You're essentially buying tickets for the next 4 games at a time but it's all automated. if you don't pay you don't get the tickets. It's the same system they use for away season tickets, they keep your details on file and then automatically charge you and send you a ticket for every game.
The club should be pursuing a subscription payment model for fans.
Something like:
- £5.99/mo for SBP, a scarf, a voucher to 1 game and the program delivered electronically
- £10/mo for all the above plus tickets to 5 games
- £20/mo for a basic ST, scarf, badge
- £30/mo for ST, SBP, Parking, scarf, badge
- £50/mo for ST, SBP, Parking, Free Away Travel, Badge, Scarf, Sky Blue Gnome
Or whatever. Minimum 12 month contract, maybe discounts for longer contracts. Lower the barrier to entry and get people locked in. Having a badge for the level you are subscribed to would add a bit of bragging rights as well.
But I already have the Gnome.![]()
