I can't see us getting 9000 season tickets sold. The amount of apathy in Swindon regarding the club is staggering.
Even if prices were significantly reduced I'd be surprised if they sold more than 6-7000.

I think we could but the amount of kids that would get one would increase a hell of a lot .

I'd buy one and in 26 years of watching that would be a first. Here, here. I've been going 15 odd years now and I'd go for it if they discounted Bradford style.

If they did buy one get one free in the early bird time frame we could get a few more

We won't get 9,000 unless it's something very similar to the Bradford deal. Even then i think we'd struggle. Tbh though 4,000 plus is pretty good.

Buy one free would not work existing season ticket holders would just get one for another season ticket holder .

And some would just end up never used thus restricting seats available for matches.

Perhaps another good thing would be to offer a whole range of incentives to go with season ticket's as well, perhaps interest free installments as well for those that struggle to find that amount of money up front.
Reductions for the wings would be good as well, but it is also about what is on offer next season if we state that next season is going to be a big push for promotion then that will have an effect, but people would need to be convinced that we can do it before parting with hard earned cash and performances for the rest of this season will also obviously have a bearing as will confidence in the ability of the manager to make the push.

Hey, if they come out and say £150 a season ticket, and we don't manage more than double this seasons amount sold, then we may as well all go home now. It'll just back up claims we are a small time team.
I don;t think you'd need any other incentives, £150 a season ticket would be an absolute bargain. It would make football less expensive per game than 15 years ago.

That's Bradford's price for this coming season. They reckon they could even get over 15,000 this time round. Crazy. Also on top of that price they are doing a "2 for 1" to anyone who gets one in the early bird period. 2 tickets for £150 that's very cheap.

Badford's is indeed £150 for any season ticket purchased before June 15th. If they get 9000 adult sales by that date everyone will be given a free one as well, so they could potentially have 18000 season ticket holders on June 16th. Clearly it creates an issue of who to give the free one to, but what a deal. Works out at about £6.50 per game or £3.25 if you manage to get 2 for the price of one.

Knew it was something like that. Tbh they already have 13,000 season ticket holders. I'm sure 9,000 will renew for that price.
