Today’s attendance

Quoted from fishboyUTM

They are letting people in, they let me in the other week but I seem to remember they scanned my season ticket. Just an overflow I think and not a bad thing as keeps the queues down.

Earlier poster reckons the scans don’t count entry it’s the turnstiles?

Can't believe people are moaning about the club are giving away "free" tickets....I would imagine these will be to schools, junior organisations etc , something that the club has been criticised for not doing previously.
It's the perfect time to be doing this, catch the next generation of supporter whilst the atmosphere, team and wins are piling up.

As for numbers on the actual day, there were two season ticket holders not sat next to me, so although pre match sales would indicate the seats are gone the attendance will be short. I am sure other people could say similar.

But if there are as mentioned full rows sitting empty then maybe something the club should check on to see if every seat is actually registered on the ticket site.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with them giving away tickets , the problem would be if they’re giving away tickets and they’re not being used .
If there’s 600 people not attending when others are being locked out then there will be a lot of upset fans

Average attendance of 5860 after 6 games with Wrexham being the only one you would expect a big crowd for is amazing.
Hopefully we give out less complimentary tickets against the likes of Notts to allow paying fans chance to get a ticket.

Turnstile operator was busy doing something else when I went in. Just let me though without scanning my season ticket so that won't have been counted.

This was my experience also    Showed my season ticket but was waved through without it being scanned

There could be a problem for those people who maybe cannot commit to going until the  Thursday/Friday prior to the game, they look on the seating plan and decide that because there may be not the required quantity together, or it’s in an area they don’t care for they don’t buy, but on the actual match day there are perfectly good seats empty that those people would have willingly paid for. So as said in earlier posts, if these empty seats are freebies that are not then being used then the situation needs addressing.

Imagine this week there may be people waiting to get paid as well, particularly after a few away games this month.

Half term week, maybe some season ticket holders away?

Is there really an issue? 6500 in the ground, over 7000 issued, so there was 2000 seats available somewhere if any paying fans wanted to attend.

If you want a better seat, get in early. I'd have gone in the Osmond if I hadn't have got my usual seat a couple of weeks back.

I work in the music/entertainment industry. Since the end of lockdown, despite ticket sales for events looking very healthy, attendances are not. I did a show at the Electric in Brixton which sold 2400 tickets (a sellout). 1600 attended. Party on a boat last week, sell out at 370 tickets. 245 attended. Venues are reporting between 10-20% no shows every Friday and Saturday. I'm assuming it's a mixture of Covid cases, people self-isolating and also timid/reluctant ticket holders changing their minds.

I work in the same industry as you and you are absolutely correct. Since the end of the outdoor season, every single indoor gig I've worked I have seen a much bigger drop-off than you would normally expect.  KSI in Bristol a few weeks ago, for example, we had about 400 no-shows from 1350 sales.
