season ticket sales (65 Viewers)

[chiefdave]

there were only 3000 back in league 2 days
I remember back in the championship last time when they offered a discount if we sold 10000 season tickets, and I think we got to around 8000

mental to think back to be being sat there with rows to yourself

the days of cheap parking and being able to rock up about 60 seconds before kick off and still be in your seat in time!

We hit the 20k mark on 12th June last season but STs had been on sale I think around 13th May.

This season they went live on 29th May and we've hit 20k in less than 3 weeks - with nearly 1k on the waiting list.

I'd be very surprised if we didn't hit the cap by the time EB deadline hits.

We’re fogging massive

20K last year was the point they said we'd set a new record wasn't it? Can anyone remember what we ended up on?

I don’t think they’ve ever said what the final number was.

Just before they went off sale, they posted to say it was over 21,500.

I imagine if they reached 2k they would have posted it on twitter so somewhere between 21.5 and 22k.

So if we're at 20K now, plus no doubt the people who leave it to the last minute possible to add a few on, then the waiting list, then the people waiting for general sale but not prepared to pay to join the waiting list we're possibly going to be looking at breaking the record within a day or two of general sale.

Who the fuck would have predicted a few years ago we'd be looking at potential issues of tickets being a closed shop and having waiting lists.

Never underestimate the power of FOMO!!!

What's that 91% renewal rate already, if I am remembering correctly that 22k seasons were sold last time. I should think that is on target for 25k season tickets.

We won’t though cos there’s a 24k cap.

It’s a club to be very proud of once again.

I both like and dislike that Bovril is now a secret menu item

In game drinking has suffered though!

You're better switching to sniffing coke! #KINGOUT

We should have keys to the city for our service to the community

I remember when the ref waited until everyone was in the ground before Kick Off …
edit:- that was Jimmy Hill ( apparently)

Even better with early jpt games, think I near enough had a block to myself to sit in with only one stand open

Me and my daughter were 2 of the 375 v Saints in the EFL trophy game at St Andrews. At the time it was meaningless, quite proud now as we reach these new heights.

Most of the queues on the concourse are a direct result of me ordering mine ‘Animal Style’

 

[ccfc1234]

Be nice if we could sell all the seats that the TV cameras see this season. The brainless comments people make about our fan base based on what they see in that stand is ridiculous.

It might help to be fair if I stopped asking for ‘nuked cow’

Some going... I was at every league game that season, but always picked up a deliberate yellow card in the league prior to be suspended for the EFL games.

We wandered down and sat in the first row behind the bench in the seats used for coaches/subs when we played Arsenal U21s. Nobody was bothered.

 

[Alex1987]

812 on the Waiting list. Wonder whether we'll pass 21k before the renewal ends

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Can't wait for the meltdown if we draw a Prem club in the cup and there is no general sale due to all ST holders taken up their option to buy.

 

[Alex1987]

Any news on match day prices?

I started going in 92 and it’s the best the support has ever been.

A bit later than you, I agree. Great selling point for transfer targets also.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Agreed (since '92, that is!). Stood in 40k plus at Highfield Road, and also in that 4k-5k home game v Wimbledon (0-0). Might be wrong, but think Jose Perdomo played?!

 

[Hutch11]

The current whole match experience is better than I've ever seen and I've been going since the 60s
Mind you I dont park near the ground

Going to be interesting. You could make a pretty compelling argument for a big increase given the number of season tickets sold and games being sold out last season.

Let’s hope they don’t go crazy.

More local derbies, Hollywood FC etc etc. Would expect a fair whack

 

[Robinshio]

given ST prices have gone up by around 8% - 8% on a £37 ticket would take it to around £40 for the top group of fixtures and maybe £30 for the lower categories if we get 24k STH and 3k for away only leaves 3-4k for general sale after corporate/hospitality packages

I agree, in 1967 when I was 7 the older fans around me spent all match abusing our players and teaching me new words.
The current match day experience is much more civilised in comparison.

Year younger than you Colin, I was only 6 then, but agree completely, I used to look up at my dad and ask what everyone was shouting, him being a big Scotsman was joining in with most of them
