Sounds a lot smoother than when Dale L tried to process my purchase from behind the desk a few years ago - i was not in and out put it that way .

2 days left , would hope we are close to 4.5k  with the final couple of days frenzy to come .

Quite a lot of first time people buying  going off twitter .

Great effort by everyone to get behind the club .

Picked mine up yesterday afternoon and there was a steady flow of people for the 20 minutes I was in and around the ticket office. Would guess 5k will be smashed this week.

We sail through 5k ,no doubt about that now . It will be interesting how close we get to the record by August .

Either way , there won't be a spare seat in The Findus or Ponny after the new one's are allocated out.  

That's why I would advise holders not renewing in those especially , to revise their position .

1) You will probably be at the back of the main when you do go .
2)Looking at the less short sighted view , IF we have a good season you won't be getting those seats back , potentially for a long time .

They should give Mappers a job in the GTFC commercial dept, he’s done more to flog season tickets than anyone in that office. Wonder if that’s a conscious decision, being very low-key on pushing STs to allow for greater capacity on match days?

There is definitely more profit to be made out of having more walk up places available, as you say certainly compared to last year it seems there is much less active selling by the club going on.

Anyone who is not a STH will have big issues in getting a ticket for any key away games and/or cup matches.  

Look at the many attractive matches over the last year. Some STHs lost out anyway.   Success is not a given, but we are on an upward trajectory.

Once you give up your ST or do not have one, then you are in catch-up and uncertainty. I understand the issues for distant exiles or fans who can only get to a limited number of games.

I believe that Liverpool and Leeds (as examples) have very long waiting lists for season-tickets.  Liverpool have a 30 year waiting list.  Leeds have 20,000 on their STH waiting list.  I just googled  this to confirm.

Myself and my group have now purchased ours, so another 4 on the total.

Wasn't that busy when I was in there. One other buyer, but I may have gone in during a lull.

We'll go past 5000 easily I reckon.
