I see Swansea City issued reduced price early-bird season-tickets in Dec for 2019-20. These proved popular as xmas presents. They have extended the deadline to 31 Jan.
They are also offering season-tickets, with no price increases, up to 31 Mar.
It is never wrong to get cash in early. In our case, we should tap-in to our recent improvements on the pitch.

i think anyone who uses the term "think outside the box" needs to think outside the box when using management speak as that is so 90's...no wonder we are stuck in a rut using such old terminology. I would prefer the sales team to have a thought shower and see if they can identify any low hanging fruit to boost sales , even if it means punching a puppy or two along the way.
Thinking inside the box is an under-rated virtue.

I think some kind of reward for buying a ST before the season ends is an avenue worth pursuing. Even 5% on the cost would be some kind of reward but of course that is no guarantee that the final sales will increase. Increased sales will only come with improved performances from now until the end of the season. It's new fans we need and they will only be attracted if they think we will do well.

Will they? Has anything been tried to boost attendances?

I certainly think our ticket system needs to be more user friendly online. I was talking to a Lincoln fan a few weeks ago and their away tickets to the Everton cup game sold out in 30 minutes because they were only available on Eventbrite.

Don/t those companies take a sizeable percentage of the ticket price or charge a fee on top?

Do a deal where if you buy a discounted kids season ticket now you get free kids entry for the rest of this season.
Buy an adult one and get in cheaper for this term.
Get that it’s not a great incentive for existing STH but it just might boost the fan base.
Also they should do the deal where if you buy an adult season ticket in the main you get a kids one free. There’s always a fair bit of space to fill in there.

Would imagine it’s cheaper than paying a team of staff to stand around writing it in an exercise book. I thought the online system at Stevenage was good and very simple to use. Even a “view from my seat” feature for restricted view seats would be a step forward as they’re taken off-sale online and via the phones when they’re the only ones left. When they’re only available for people who can visit the shop, why should exiles, elderly & those too busy to go down be disadvantaged?

Possibly true. As long as they don't go for the option like Wembley did the other year and you have to pay a fee on top of the tickets.
