Season tickets next season - what will they do?

[AVH87]

14,000 isn't a very good target to set, very low bar. If that's all we sell then some midweek games will see gates of less than 20k.

That wasnt the target it was the figure that had been sold about 3 weeks ago......The figures were in the Evening Mail I am guessing the target will be about 17.000 ish

I was going off what I read (below).

Wyness said they'd sold 14,000 a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure he said that figure had been the target too?

It was possibly the target at that time was to sell 14,000 and that they had met that

We had 20,000 last season so a drop of 6,000 would be quite an amount and I'd expect crowds of 25/26,000 with only 14k season tickets, not good.

Depends what the match day prices are like as obviously we'll need big walk up crowds this season to get close to even 35k I think.

Be interested when those come out, at premier league level it's more or less 40 quid to sit in Upper Witton so that will surely be reduced by a tenner otherwise you might aswell close that bar the away fans.

From memory the highest we've got in recent times is 25k or just over in a couple of the MON signings.

Ever since McLeish it's been back down to around 20k.

I remember years back when SHA came up they made a great noise about selling more than us and their figure was 23k.

We just don't have huge consistent week in week out support. We have a hard core of about 25k (at prem level) and then the rest fluctuates on so many different reasons.

I think anything close to 20k would be pretty good and well the rest is up to the marketing team. We had plenty of cheap ticket combos at prem level so can only imagine they'll be more 2-1 games and like that. Are we still using Seatwave this season or going back to Viagogo?

Yes surely they will be releasing ticket prices for the various categories this season in the next week or two as games like Rotherham will need to go on sale fairly soon. My concern is that if season ticket prices only went down by a tenner over the season, they can't afford to put match ticket prices down a lot, or it will mean having a season ticket doesn't save you money.

We are still using Seatwave

[wittonwarrior]

If you were to purchase an extra value seat (towards the front of the Holte) or towards the back of the Upper Witton End (North Stand for any youngsters) where would you purchase?

I would get one in the Holte

i oo I oo its up the Holte we go......

you mean  they made a great noise that after being being out of the top flight for nearly a generation ,sixteen years I believe ? they managed to sell what we normally sell and  bearing in mind that their ground capacity is only 25000 home spaces v our 40,000 so greater need to secure tickets....
these were also dark times for us Taylor Mark II and O'Dreay years just to give it some context.

Don't forget the addition 4 games.  That gives a fair bit of scope to have some budget games

[wittonwarrior]

but with away allocations being sparse at some grounds at least a season ticket gives you a head start.

Anyone know how many sold to date?

[MonsXI]

Anyone had there's yet?

Was in the ticket office this afternoon buying ticket for the Boro match. Overheard one of the guys on the desk telling someone to expect new ST cards through the post towards end of July.

I was told 2 weeks before the season starts when I renewed

Seems to tally up then. Probably at some point during week beginning 25th July.
