gurujuan Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 To pick up on something that was mentioned on another thread. Can it really be true that season ticket sales are down on last years figures? I must admit, I haven't been paying much attention recently, but the last time I looked, sales were up on the same stage the previous year. If it's true, amid all the euphoria of the takeover, why the the fall off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonbones Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) It was also mentioned on the other thread that a lot of experts on Wednesday's finances seem to exist. Truth be known, no one knows until the next set of accounts are out, so suggesting sales are down is nothing short of scaremongering.

Thurnscoe_OWL Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Know a few who haven't renewed yet. They all say they will though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Didn't the club say we had 13k renewals at the end of the cheaper renewal date. I would like to know how many new ones we have sold. I can't imagine it being many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickswfc Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) The comment on the site the other month was ticket sales are 'comparable'. Which basically means lower. Its generally the same pattern. Consecutive lower half / mid table championship finishes = consistent reduction in ST sales. Our relegation and subsequent promotion the other year kind of reset them to a higher level. Edited July 27, 2014 by nickswfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 All my mates have renewed, though there's probably a few that haven't there's also some that are new season ticket holders or those that are returning after missing out for a few seasons. Numbers will be close to last season come start of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's scaremongering about discussing whether season ticket sales are up or down? As far as I was concerned, I resumed sales were up on last year and was a little taken aback when someone mentioned that they thought sales might be down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Probably the free U-8 tickets which aren't free any more will be affecting the figures. My 6 year old has had a free ST for the last few years, but because he only goes to a handful of games anyway I haven't renewed as I'm not paying £50 when it was free before. He'll probably end up just going to the occasional quid for a kid game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Even blind loyalty runs out eventually. Nothing a couple of half decent signings and a bit of optimism couldn't cure though. Too late for this season unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past Member Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Don't worry, all the season ticket applications and fees are in an Escrow account. Since the takeover farce, this word escrow has to be used at least 8 times a day. escrow, escrow, escrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
