2022/23 Season Tickets

Quoted from toontown

Sales now at 5614!

Fúcking hell. To be honest, most of the other milestones have been easy to see coming for a while now, but to have sold another 100 or so in the last few hours, having already achieved 5,500 is something else.

Given where we are right now and the apparent rate of sale, you wouldn’t rule out us getting close to 5,800 by the end of the deadline, would you?

The final rush of renewals as people in two minds, perhaps on affordability in these times, realise there is feck all chance of getting a decent seat for most home games and have decided to take the plunge.

Sales are accelerating rather than slowing down.  Great credit to all concerned.

Re the historically high attendances.  The Hull home game in 1964/65 (over 18,000) did attract a large number of Hull fans. Co I got over on the ferry.  

  They were top of the league, had a long unbeaten record, were very high scorers and playing Chelsea in a high-profile FA Cup quarterfinal.

We beat them 1-0 with a Matt Tees header.  One of my first games.

Admission prices in 1964/65 where 2/6d and while I can’t find a figure for GTFC a Man Utd season ticket cost £8  and £10s (25p and £8.50). General inflation from then to now is an increase of 22 times. So if football admission had followed general inflation match day admission would be £5 so at £22 it’s four times plus more expensive in real terms to attend now. That must have some impact  on attendances over time particularly in locations where money is tight.

don't forget those 100-200 corporate tickets still to be inputted, and i think you're looking closer to 6000. I also think there might be a little surge this evening, with people comimg to the game and renewing over the counter whilst they're there

Up to the last few months, the price of food, housing etc has decreased as proportion of overall income which means there is more disposable income to spend on football, beer, holidays etc so the relative increase in the cost of football hasn't been a problem at the aggregate level. Hence the big increase in attendances from the low of the late 80s to now. We are now at the same level as the early 60s again, with an overall average of 16k per game. There is no evidence of an adverse impact from the current cost of living crisis on ST sales, on the contrary, on OFF most clubs are reporting an increase. I doubt that there will be many, if any, at our level of increase though.

What a fantastic achievement, who would have thought nearly 6,000 tickets sold already since they came on sale. With walk-ins and away fans it looks like it will be a full house most games.

I think a full house, or near full house will motivate the team giving them more than 12th man of last season. We could be looking at fortress BP with no defeats, no not predictions but hope.

Again our away support is the envy of most clubs so certainly the 12th man effect for most away games.

The question is, where on earth would the extra few hundred sit?! If Debbie is keeping 5% back for on-the-day sales, we must be at the limit now anyway.

Utter f#cking madness, it’s awesome!

We're at about 82% of the usual home capacity but i suspect for most games we'll have Town fans in the Osmond

didn't someone say that one option was to make the corner bit of the Osmond a home section?
don't know how viable that is, but certainly would bring in another couple of hundred seats into play
