the annual season ticket sales thread

Looking at that graph it seems like we have sold as many as we did in 2015-16 which considering the summer of 2015 was when we had Operation Promotion, is remarkable.

I must be one of the giddy ones because I think 3000 is still doable. Some might be holding off to see how things go after the easing of restrictions. 19 July was not that long ago.

Slight quibble with the graph - it shows that one year (2011-12?) sales went down after about 17 days. Impossible, unless people returned them gor credit.

Like has been said before, Talk of another lockdown is holding people back not just in football but other things as well. I did not get a season ticket for the last 3 seasons because i was not feeding fenty`s obsession with power.  But now i am holding back to see what unfolds about the next lock down, and there will be one of some sort. I dont mind paying on the day even if it costs a bit more , and i see that as helping a little bit as the club make more money that way

To sell the amount of ST's we have after the worst season in living memory is quite an achievement. Had the old regime still been in charge, I think sales would have crashed spectacularly.

There is also covid still having an effect on sales too. Without it, I think we would have sailed past 3000 comfortably. Of our regular gang of four, none would have renewed without a change of ownership. To date, two already have and one is about to. I won't be renewing myself but only because I won't be able to attend enough games to justify one. Will still attend every game I can get to but probably wouldn't have made the effort had there not been change at the top. Definitely wouldn't have given any time to the fan zone either.

Ownership has played a part although we’ll never know for sure…I do know I’d have genuinely, for the first time ever been debating whether or not to get one because of Fenty and I know several others who had made the point and didn’t even watch games last year…

Covid may be a factor but it doesn’t seem to have had a big an impact as foll claim given the amount we’ve sold. The lockdown talk is simply that and is unnecessary but I guess people still think it should happen.

Maybe we’ll shift a couple after july’s payday…either way it’s still a decent amount after the worst season ever and 20 years of abject failure from the owners…

Well that's our two season tickets sorted. And that's two that wouldn't have happened under the previous regime. Thanks to those who gave advice about views from the upper. Haven't been this excited about a season for ages!

In a parallel universe where Covid is completely eradicated from the world, it would be interesting to see how many we sold. I think we would have broken the 3000 barrier.

Be interesting to know how many 1878 Memberships have been sold - given that attendance at 6 games minimum is needed to make it worthwhile to have an 1878 card they are worth a quarter of a season ticket to the club...kind of...

as another sign of the renewed interest, the Trust mentioned in their latest minutes that they are fast approaching 2000 members (a more than 250% increase on pre takeover numbers) and that there hasn't been a single day since early May without some new members joining

I bought mine for the away ticket priority  Not sure if I'll make more than a few games tbh.

I have a friend who, although he won't get a ST (he lives away) intends to attend as many home games as possible. This is purely down to the departure of JF. He had a verbal altercation with JF 13 years ago and said he would never set foot in BP again while "that b****** " ran the club. It might only be one punter and it might only amount to £200 approx this season. But that is £200 we wouldn't have got and I suspect there could be a few like him.
