Season ticket prices frozen

Quoted from Poojah

The EFL Q&A states that each League Two club will be broadcast a minimum of 16 times (the bulk of which will be existing non-Saturday 3pm kick-offs). Reaching that threshold for all clubs accounts for 77.4% of matches to be broadcast, with realistically a minimum of 4 or 5 will have been moved from a traditional Saturday slot.

Essentially, that leaves an additional 56 matches from which games might be moved. If all things were equal, that would mean somewhere in the region of 2 extra games per team on average. Granted that teams at the top end of the division are more likely to be picked than those lower down, I’d be really surprised if any one side ends up losing more than 8 regular Saturday fixtures to TV rearrangements, with 6 or 7 probably being the average across the division.

The “248 games live” figure is misleading. It will be considerably more.

The figure is based on the premise that there are 32 rounds of fixtures on weekends where 2.5 matches per weekend are moved for tv. 32 x 2.5 matches = 80

And the remaining 14 fixture dates are all matches broadcast. 14 x 12 = 168

80 + 168 = 248

The “16 times minimum” figure is based on the 14 rounds where every game is broadcast plus Sky guaranteeing every team will be picked at least twice over the season for the other fixture rounds.

But the fixture list doesn't work like that.

Next season there will only be 29 standard Saturday match days. 29 x 2.5 = 64 approx.

The other 17 match days will have all games broadcast live. 17 x 12 = 204.

So there will definitely be 268 L2 games live next season. That means each team will appear an average of 22.33 times next season.

And that’s before postponed standard Saturday games that will automatically be live on Sky when they are rearranged. This season we had 3 standard Saturday matches rearranged and last season it was 5.

Even at a conservative 2 games per club postponed because of weather or FA Cup activity then the average club is going to be on more than half of their league games.

I’ll be renewing my season tickets on Weds but with the potential unpredictability of fixtures next season it might be that my young nephew won’t be able to attend them all. Can anyone advise if it’s possible to upgrade the seat for certain games so another adult could go with me, or would I have to go through the hassle of releasing the seat and repurchasing?

The freezing of ticket prices is enough to encourage me to renew my season ticket despite my doubts about Artell, so fair enough it's doing its job I guess.

Now live if anyone want's to get in early . Plenty of seats together aswell all over if anyone wishes to relocate / buy new.

Been trying to call ticket office this am to renew as a problem with my online account and no answer.

Is there anyone actually dealing with renewals on the phone today ?///

Defies all logic, doesn’t it. It’s the hope that kills you.

Don’t do this to me please!

Currently on track to sell over 36,000 season tickets by the start of the season.
