Its a difficult one to gauge

Who would have thought we might touch 6k season tickets at the start of last season ?

I think with how well the fans are engaged now we might be pleasantly suprised , and of course some regulars who pay on the day might be fed up with the relatively poor offering of seats available now on matchday .

I will be renewing ,even though i have only seen us win twice this season ,I enjoy a few beers ,the fanzone and the banter of our regulars + believe in what the lads are trying to do .

5k + i think

Including today we have 5 home games. If we win ay least 3 of these and some good summer signings then I think 5,000 should be achievable.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Quoted from TheFryingSquad
I can only imagine that the numbers will go down next season.  Last year we finished on a real high and people in general had more cash available.  This year has had its high points but hyper inflation and end of season mediocrity will surely impact?  I think we’ll be below 5k.  Below 4,000 would be a catastrophe.


Hyperinflation ? We are nowhere near those levels

I think despite a lot of people saying 'I'm considering not renewing...' I think we'll hit similarish numbers.

A lot of the surge last summer was fuelled by FOMO as much as it was the feelgood factor from promotion.  This season hasn't hit the same heights and the feelgood factor is not even comparable to what it was 10 months ago.  

I know of a few people who got season tickets because they were gutted at missing out on tickets to Notts County and Wrexham in the play-offs and wanted a better chance of getting future tickets.  In the main we didn't see situations where no-one could get tickets, with the exceptions in the cup games.  I think those few incidents might just be enough to keep hold of enough people who have that fear of missing out again.  

The club will need to work at it though.  The last thing I want to see is a lazy sales pitch, especially if we're going to be increasing prices as most expect to happen.  It's an easy thing to say because it happened, but if you take the cup run out of this season and it's being a disappointing one, especially at home.  Coupled with a price increase and it becomes even less appealing.  The package needs to be the best it ever has been but we also need those marquee signings in and in early.  Get the ball rolling with quick and early sales which will create a snowball effect, then drawing in those who will be panicked into renewing/buying because that fear of missing out kicks in.

Absolutely. Scarcity is a powerful thing in sales and marketing. Anyone who has school age kids going mental for the faddy, influencer endorsed “Prime” drink in recent weeks will understand this concept all too well.

If we can achieve a top-half finish and make a couple of decent early signings, early season ticket sales will be strong and that will help the uncertain few come to the right decision.

I’m not worried at all. I think we’ll get close to, if not even bigger sales than last season. Just wait and see…

Think we'll be very close to this years total. The cost isn't huge and the lack of seat availability if you decide to go game by game will be a big deciding factor
Still think we missed an opportunity not selling them while the smell of fa cup success was fresh

Already behind the curve many clubs have had season tickets on sale for weeks now. Shortly after the cup run ended would have been the time to do it. Still struggling to see what all these back office additions are bringing to the party.
Look at Lincoln  website as an example how to do it already in 2nd Purchase window and various packages adding shirts and other etc to season tickets

I hope we sell precisely zero season tickets, just to cheer up the miserable cúnts and doom merchants amongst the fanbase. Nothing could possibly make them happier than a massive drop off in sales.

The club could kidnap my family and burn my house down and I’d still renew. There’s loads like me.
