this is the final nail in the coffin, relegation is nailed on, clubs finished

napolimp · May 31, 2023

On a tangent, does anyone know if the club will allow me to change my season ticket seat if I've already purchased? Thanks.

Saddlebrains · May 31, 2023

I cant believe how little of you on here dont think its weird they arent on sale

Cant use the 'dunno what league we were going to be in' excuse as we didnt until mid April last year yet they wont on sale in March

I know of 5 people who were fully on the bandwagon of the play offs who were going to commit to next season and now probably wont

There's going to be a lot more

Probably half arsed, but they are the ones Doug bangs on about targeting to 'join the journey'

How can someone join the journey when you're not even selling the journey?

The club really missed the boat. Last week was the right time to get them on sale. Whilst the “plastic fans” as some like to call them were willing to sign up for the season.

If they’ve changed their minds already got to question what type of ‘fans’ they are ?!! We were a penalty shoot out away from Prem, have already made a decent signing (on paper at least) and there’s rumours that there’s an outside chance of keeping Gus (I assumed there was no chance*)

They are the sort of fans who do 8 or 9 games a season and who cannot make midweek games because of work. They were all set to bite the bullet a few weeks ago as they rode the wave of euphoria, but have now pulled back and had second thoughts. These are the sort of people we need to convince. There are a few like this whose money could have been in the bank.

I've no idea if it will make a major difference to the numbers, hopefully not though.

oh come on - if people want a season ticket - they know the price - when they are available they will get one - those who now won’t had zero intention anyway

The only way you would have convinced them was if we’d have got to the premier league

people don’t buy a commitment to go for a year to football on impulse

Ashdown · May 31, 2023

Chill out, they’re still counting the ackers from all those who jumped in at the last minute thinking they were getting a refund shortly

Of course they do. It's not all or nothing, these people will already be casual fans for the most part, they will go to games. Some will be 50/50 on whether to commit for the season and can be swayed by events. If we announce next week we're keeping Gus, you're saying not a single supporter will be prompted to buy a ST on the back of that? A little bit of good news tips them over the edge? Of course this happens. Same had we had them on sale before the final, all that positive noise would have translated to extra sales.

Not sure I agree. May have got some hoping for Premier League football. May have got some carried up in the excitement.

They’d have already paid the £500

Where is your evidence?

Grendel · May 31, 2023

If maximising season tickets is a concern (which it isn’t) then king should say if it achieves 17,000 then the two ticket benefit applies and if you don’t get one Wembley next time is not a possibility

I disagree. There’s plenty of local fans who would’ve bought a ticket for the chance to see big clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchestersssss at the CBS. Now that prospect is gone and our chance to hook them as fans has gone.

Not if they had kids. I bought the PL package, but no way I was going to pay £1000 for my two youngsters.

croatskyblue · May 31, 2023

If people want a season ticket they’ll buy one, if they don’t they won’t. We may have lost out on a few but I doubt very many, I don’t think it’s true at all that we’ve lost loads of fans because of this. Anyway the number of ticket sales isn’t priority at all, revenue per ticket is. We could flog 20k+ at rock bottom prices, but thats not helping the club at all.

Mucca Mad Boys · May 31, 2023

Have any of the other clubs in the playoffs announce ST prices yet? I couldn’t find Luton’s last week.

Ultimately, people will go to games or they don’t. A lot of people are all talk and say they’ll start going to games and never do.

theferret · May 31, 2023

Grendel said:

Any evidence is anecdotal, I could give you several examples, but you'll just say they wouldn't have bought one anyway, so it's pointless.

The idea that events and circumstances don't impact on ST sales is odd. You're saying that the positivity and prospect of PL football wouldn't have translated to sales, that a big signing has no impact on uptake, that basically there are no external factors, that you're either getting one or you're not and this decision is made early and events have no bearing on that decision. Basically any marketing is a waste of time. All those billboards around Coventry are a waste of money. OK.

Johnnythespider · May 31, 2023

I'm surprised they didn't go on sale after the £500 premier gamble closed, the prices are set and published so why the hold up ?

Premier league pending. The published prices specified Championship.

Middlesbrough put their season tickets for next season on sale in February. Sunderland put theirs on sale in March. Luton did pause.

So clearly Luton and ourselves were waiting to see what happened in the playoffs.

I don't think a price increase would have gone down well given the reaction to the original announcement, not saying DK wouldn't have done it though

Have Luton put the back on sale at a higher price

We put ours on sale in early March last season, long before we knew what division we'd be in. Prices were published weeks ago anyway. Playoff final was last Saturday and it's Thursday tomorrow. Still no announcement. It's all a bit weird. Maybe there is an explanation and it will come out, or maybe they are not that arsed.

Skyblue_LDN · May 31, 2023

What is the cheapest season ticket? Looking at the now confirmed teams in the championship there’s only a handful of games I will get to in the south, this and a few home games if schedule falls well over Christmas holidays I’d struggle again to have any more than about 80 points again should we find ourselves in a similar position. Are tickets all around £400-£500?

Oh it does - Just nowhere near the scale that some people are trying to suggest.

The stadium deal was announced a month ago and we’ve sold 5,000 PL packages. Which I suppose we’ll be aiming to sell about 14-15,000. We’ve done alright.

Fair point re the stadium deal. Hope you're right and I'm worrying about nowt. Thought it was a real opportunity to increase st sales notably and get a sense that opportunity has been missed a bit. We'll see.
