Crikey a bit last minute do you get a prize for the last one
I will go for cruel addiction
I went on-line last night at 23.30pm and bought 3 season tickets without any problems at all.
No issues with it.
Does anybody know how many season tickets have been sold up to now?
I'm not expecting a great number as we've not made any signings and most would have been bought with blind faith and optimism of things to come I reckon. (Or a cruel addiction!)
Even with the "right" owners not many clubs can do what Bradford do, you need two things, a large stadium but also you need the latent support, most clubs in L1 lack both of those things, just about all lack one.
We've sold 18000 so far, Coventry could do the same. Good luck for next season.
Good luck to you too. I reckon we need it!
Bantam - how long have season ticket sales been that type of percentage? (in terms of percentage of stadium capacity)

I'm guessing this season only (and maybe the ones when they were in the PL and maybe the first back down in the championship). Only a guess mind you - great effort, regardless !

Sky Blue Harry was correct, very similar sales to the PL days. It started when we dropped into L2 8/9 years ago, we'd been getting 7500 (ish) crowds in L1 as we were long term shit and sliding into the basement, I think the prices were about £138 for an adult, nowt for under 11's (with a full paying adult) & £99 concessions. We were promised back to back promotions via Stuart McCall's return and about 14k bought into that dream.
In fact, we got shitter, if that was possible, but even after 7 years in L2 we were still selling 10k+ ST's. Last year they were £199 and we averaged 13k+ crowds, many fans have been screaming for them to be increased in cost but the board surprised everybody by reducing them to £149 for this season, this resulted in what is pretty much a sell out, there is space for away fans and some walk up's.
Financially it's growing the club, what if Bradford went up? They could increase the price by a very large % and not many, if any, would not renew. 18k (minimum) fans will eat and drink a lot of stuff and buy a lot of merchandise and it's far easier to sell commercial deals with a full (ish) stadium. So what if the reduced prices produce the same income as other clubs 8k "normal" prices? It's bringing affordable football to the masses and the masses are responding. For any fans, a "big" game is an enjoyable event and next season every home game will be a big game for us.
I've looked at the L1 clubs, there is only us and Coventry that can do this successfully, the Blunts don't need to.
Bugs me they havent announced match package sales.
I would guess around 1.5k
Beats me how they think that they are going to sell ST's without some evidence of intent ie. positive signings.

What about this week's signings?Beats me how they think that they are going to sell ST's without some evidence of intent ie. positive signings.

Give them a chance. what they supposed to do, buy any old journeyman in their budget just to get some bodies in?
Of course, so we can moan about rushing to sign players.
Session ticket sales currently at 4750.
"The Sky Blues are now 1000 Season Tickets away from reaching the target of 5750 and Mowbray has encouraged City fans to back the side."

Around the same as last season then with a couple of weeks to go.
Any info (or rumours!!) re: numbers of match day packages sold ??
think the club said last season 4600 including hospitality!
So we're saying that if we kept the tickets at last years prices we would have sold the same amount ??
So we're a lot worse off ...
Sad how small a club we are becoming we would have sold 15k tickets not so long ago
Don't think we've ever sold that many season tickets have we?
Certainly not in the Premier League.
I don't understand why they put the price up.Thats no way to encourage more people to buy.
