Title: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: flammableBen on Friday, August 1, 2008, 10:38:41 Thought it should get it's own thread. The other one is getting a bit long.
http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/HomeTickets/0,,10341~1356008,00.html Quote Swindon Town Football Club have extended the Race to 6K deadline until 12pm, Monday 11th August 2008. The Club recognises the fantastic backing received from the Town fans so far and would like to give those supporters who have not yet Joined The Race to 6K, every possible opportunity to do so. To those Season Ticket Holders who have already signed up - THANK YOU - and there is still time to RECOMMEND A FRIEND! Total Season Ticket Sales are expected to exceed 5,000 over the weekend, leaving 1,000 further Season Tickets to sell to achieve the 6,000 target. RACE TO 6K - Box Office Opening Hours Saturday 2nd August 9am - 12pm Sunday 3rd August CLOSED Monday 4th August 9am - 5pm Tuesday 5th August 9am - 5pm Wednesday 6th August 9am - 5pm Thursday 7th August 9am - 7pm Friday 8th August 9am - 5pm Saturday 9th August 9am - 5.30pm Sunday 10th August CLOSED Monday 11th August 9am - 12pm Normal Opening Hours will remain in place, with the STFC Box Office open until 5pm on Monday 11th August, although the absolute Season Ticket deadline is 12pm. Sorry, edited in the article and the link. Pisses me off when other people don't do that. Naughty me. Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: wheretherealredsare on Friday, August 1, 2008, 10:40:44 So will the total price for ST's bought between now and 11th August be £229 or £269 (as opposed to £369)?
Edit: Just seen on the OS under CAN YOU HELP ...? it says you will save £40 0n the second instalment, so the £229 price is extended ... apparently????

Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: Ardiles on Friday, August 1, 2008, 11:11:20 Great marketing from the club. The possibility of crossing the 5,000 line this weekend sounds very positive in the release.
I know we keep saying it, but it's brilliant to see the club now run by competent football people, rather than the self-interested freak show that preceded them. Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: suttonred on Friday, August 1, 2008, 11:51:45 Thats good news, although still not sure if i'll get one as my ST fund was cleaned out by a £400 visit to the dentist yesterday!
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: reeves4england on Friday, August 1, 2008, 11:54:55 Great to hear. We are already at around 4,900 so there's every chance we could yet do it
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: Batch on Friday, August 1, 2008, 12:03:18 Great to hear. We are already at around 4,900 so there's every chance we could yet do it oink oink oink, flap flap flap. Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: DV on Friday, August 1, 2008, 12:20:58 Personally id extend it further as well. If we have a good start the season it might convince a few more people to buy them....
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: Lumps on Friday, August 1, 2008, 12:41:15 They need to do a (this shows my age) National Trust style "join today and get your admission price back" type promotion for the Trannie game if you ask me. The gate'll be good on the first home game of the season and if people like what they see it might help pull in another couple of hundred sales.

The gate'll be good on the first home game of the season and if people like what they see it might help pull in another couple of hundred sales. A damn good idea sir !I'm still convinced that some who go to matches don't realise how the deal works. Even some who post on this site don't know all the details. I would recommend that the club get some volunteers to help the club out with promoting the deal on match days we have between now & the deadline. They could either appeal direct, or through the TRUST/ supporters club. They could also get some bods to drop leaflets through letter boxes. en masse. Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: JOHNNY REEVES on Friday, August 1, 2008, 13:34:28 i think some don,t realise how good the the family ticket deal is.1 adult plus 1 kid £298 if 6000 reached add another kid then its £299- £1 for a S/T what a bargain.Also you can choose wich area you would like to sit ,not being surrounded by loads of screeching kids.
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: LucienSanchez on Friday, August 1, 2008, 14:09:31 People have had long enough to sign up now, and 6000 wasn't achieved. End it now, and just let people pay a premium on matchdays if we do well...
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, August 1, 2008, 14:40:45 OS states ticket office is open on Monday until 5 pm only. Thought they would have extended it with the Plymouth game kicking off later!! Wonder if that is an error?
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, August 1, 2008, 16:43:25 Hopefully we'll get a few sales after the Trannie game if we play well.
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: leefer on Friday, August 1, 2008, 16:47:22 Could get close to the 6000 now,hope we do.
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: Nemo on Friday, August 1, 2008, 16:50:29 Reckon they'll let us off 5999?
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, August 1, 2008, 16:54:14 I've got no problems with the fact they've extended it - we'll miss out by a matter of 100's but nevermind - they're keeping the faith.
One signing could make all the difference - but we all know it doesn't appear that we'll make an impact signing that'll result in 100's of people buying a ST. I doubt Sam Parkin's signiture didn't result in a rush for the ticket office (6 years ago today he signed!) I'd happily wish MM & co to prove me wrong though! Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: michael on Saturday, August 2, 2008, 09:05:29 I'm not criticizing (sp?), but who is going to buy one that hasn't already got one?!
I'm happy with 5000, and I imagine the board are too really. Is 5000 worth more financially than 6000? Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: alanmayes on Sunday, August 3, 2008, 08:25:36 I'm happy with 5000, and I imagine the board are too really We would all have loved to have well over the 6000 mark,but reaching 5000 is decent enough as a first step.Hopefully Mr Fitton and the board can help the progress on and off the pitch over the next year.

I'm happy with 5000, and I imagine the board are too really. Is 5000 worth more financially than 6000? I agree. Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, August 3, 2008, 09:38:42 I think anybody who ever starts anything with "I'm not ********, but........" should be shot.
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: michael on Sunday, August 3, 2008, 09:49:48 And anyone who ends a sentence with "...and stuff" is a retard.
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, August 3, 2008, 09:54:11 Touché, and stuff.
Title: Re: Season Ticket Deadline extended to August 11th Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, August 3, 2008, 16:52:08 The only thing I wondered about was whether they have been struggling to answer phones/get people served in the box office. There is only 3 of them and I bet quite a few left it to the last week.
But other than that, I agree. Its run its course. |
