I have.  :D

With thanks to my mum who queued for 1 hour 45mins at the CG to getone whilst I was at work!

when is the deadline?

The 15th March

I reckon 7,000 season ticket holders is the target we should be aiming for at these prices. It's a poor show if we can't break that barrier. Especially since we're pushing for promotion to the Championship.

Student prices are £189 in all stands even after the first 1000 I believe Dave.

Going to get my first one for eons tomorrow. Still not sure whether to relive my youth in the TE, or wear my middle aged slippers in the DRS?

I am getting mine on Saturday.

Along with the two for one offer for Carlisle and Stockport. Does anybody know if it applies to the Town End? It doesn't actually say on the OS, but it would still be a great saving.

I think it does from memory, don't take my word for it though.

I've no idea what I'll be doing next year, what with being in the final year of my degree at the moment. If I have a full time job then a season ticket will definitely be on the cards, but I'll be well past the £199 deadline by the time that gets sorted!

Buy one now and sell it on if you can't use it enough, they're transferrable anyway now.

If I had £199 spare and could guarantee I'd find somebody to pass it on to that would be a good idea!

Does anybody know if it can be paid in installments like last season? if it can then i will do that as it means i will be able to afford a couple more away games this season

It's all on the OS. Installment plan is available, but not for 199 quid.

I've got mine.

Just noticed this wording too...


Thats a good perk as a new ST holder for next year should we make the play offs this season.....

Yes, yes. A right proper incentive, innit?

It's gonna be a good summer, I can feel it in my water!

Swindon will win at Wembley and England will win the world cup! You heard it here first!

Innit? What's got into you?

Think i might just stay where i am in the DRS, how long have i got to renew to keep my seat? usually it's june isn't it?

May 1st

I thought it was

I was looking to see if you could renew by buying online with the payment plan but can't see a way of doing that either

The product of a long, long fruitful weekend and a point at Udders  :)

May 1st? Is that all?! My seat is too good to give up this year, looks like southampton and Franchise and Leeds will have to be left alone now.

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10341~1941154,00.html

It does.

whats the capacity of the town end? i wonder if they will extend the offer if they sell the 1000 before 15th march?

I think the idea is that they sell 1000, people realise the Town End is already more than half full, and buy a full price ticket knowing there'll be a reasonable atmosphere.

Ta.

do they not have to leave a certain percentage of seats for matchday sales? I know Man Utd for instance can only have 55,000 sason tickets out of their 76,000 capacity roughly.

I'm pretty sure they do but come on we aren't going to sell 11,500 season tickets anyway!!

i just meant in the town end, so say keep 20% of tickets for matchday sales in the Town End, how many doe that leave available for season tickets?

Holds about 2400 doesn't it?

2,000 i'd have thought. Meh need to get mine soon as it seems the 1,000 will be gone before 15 March.

Townend holds 1700.

Yippadeedahday!!

Thinking about getting mine today, will be my first season ticket seeing as i couldn't afford one any other season. Could do with some help though if you would. where's the best place to sit in everyone's opinions?
Sorry about the blank layout, only just joined the forum today  :D

I'm on the right of the goal as you face the pitch.

On the right of the goal or right behind the goal is best imo. Pretty lively.

I'm so glad the board have done something to fill up the town end.  :D It will be great having it packed out every end. They will def sell those 1000 tickets pretty quickly and then another few hundred. Throw in a couple hundred paying on the day and I can see the Town End being almost at capacity for almost every game!!!

If you want the atmosphere then the TE will hopefully have its mojo back next season thanks to this offer. In that case, sit somewhere in the middle or just to the right of the goal. Higher up is better because the view is even worse down the front! If you want a good view of the game then you're better off in the DRS. Of course, you could always compromise and join KoT's happy clappy batty army at the back of the DRS, near the TE.

Something i have noticed about that crew on the TE side of the DRS is that when we ask the South Stand for a song it is always "wilsons red and white army" call and response with the TE. That does sound cool but I have started to think "you've only got one song"  :D :D ;)

What are the alternatives though?

Give us an S?

We're the right side?

Cums on chips?

We're the right side would be nice for a change. But I was thinking it doesn't have to always be a call and response type song anyway.

But don't wanna knock those guys too much anyway!

i was thinking the same, dont expect too much at the carlisle game as most are in VIP

Just bought mine, and the club okayed me sending midweek games per ticket to my brother. I just feel sorry for whoever has to sit next to the smelly bastard.

Awesome stuff guys :) Getting it in a hour or so as soon as my money has cleared in the bank. I'm having to do it over the internet though. Are they going to give me a choice of where to sit?

''We're the right side'' is a Pox song and should never be sung at Swindon ever.

I very much doubt they were the first ones ever to sing it!

Did any songs truly originate in Swindon? The celery song I suppose. I don't actually like that tho.

And yes you can choose where your season ticket is.

Yes, except for those already occupied by season ticket holders.

You will though miss the experience of the flashy new ticket office set up in the flesh so to speak !

I just bought my ticket online. Nice.

Wouldn't mind knowing how many we sold yesterday.

I reckon they will have sold well over 500 by the end of Saturday.

I know  :( i live in Devizes though and have quite a bad case of tonsillitis which means i wont be able to drive up there and get it til later this week. I don't wanna have to wait that long either.

The celery song originated from the chelsea fans.

Oh OK. Anyone know any songs that are originated from us?

I can't read, i can,t write.....

But you don't get to choose the seat?!

fair play to the lot near the back of the DRS but as a few have said, more than one song is needed. surely it should be we're the southside/we're the town end? and give us an S as another alternative.

"when the reds go steaming in" could be done.

will try we're the south side we're the south side we're the south side swindon town.

i like the Danny Wilson chant, it sounds immense with a big crowd, if only the Arkells could get involved. There was a group in there for the Oldham game who were giving it a go.

Yeah I thought at one point I heard the Arkells. I was shocked.

They were trying all game to be fair, right up next to the away section.

Will join in with you KoT.

Got mine today...first one i have got for years..got a feeling i will be watching Town v Bristol City at the first home game next season!

we might pass them on the way through, they have hit the wall in their league.

Getting very interesting down there, Reading or city would be brilliant getting relegated, but my choice just for the hilarity factor would be QPR.

Got mine.

Where did you go mate? Me and Si were thinking about possibly moving a bit to the right as although our view and seats are good the atmosphere dies out by the time the chants get to us.

So who's this then?

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/Interview/0,,10341~1967813,00.html

I heard them on the commentry as thats were the commentators sit, not only was i shocked at them actually singing but they were quite loud aswell!

will get mine on 26th if they are still available!

Paul Arnold

Just ordered mine today, moved back to TE from the flask and sandwich stand.

Ace! It will be good to have you back Paul.

judas!      As you know stuck in the drs with the little one now. Oh well. Are you going to orient?

Thanks Alan


Ah the joys of being a Dad  :)
I was planning to go to Orient, but can't now due to sudden change in circumstances, I now have a meeting on that day...unbelievably... in London grrr

After what i said about having tonsillitis and not being about to see the new box office etc etc. I drove to Swindon to fill out my season ticket form today :) all done and dusted. Can't wait.

Rich - I just renewed mine, didn't get a choice of seat online (presumably because I ordered online?) but I think they're transferrable up to a certain point, so I may move a little to the right around the TEF's own jayohaitchenn.

  Box office will ring you tomorrow or friday to ask you where you want to sit. Got my call today.

Ahhh right sweet. I won't be able to do mine until after the 24th as i'm not flush with cash right now.

Aah right, cheers sutton.

M60 - Me
M61 - Marky
M62 - Ravey Dave
M63 - Miss Angey


Get involved. We're the Town End Rumba Bus. There is an initiation though. You'll have to shout "HAROLD" at some point during each match.

Have you all moved?

Got three of the bastards!!  (Not all for me!)

All three - High Letter - Low number!! 

If you all hate Oxford clap yer hands!

I renewed mine and my dad's this week and there was a guy in front of me in the queue, who had been to one game this season, his only game for a few years he said.
But he was in there buying a season ticket for him and his son.
I thought fair play to him, hopefully quite a few others will follow suit.

Im going to get one , even though i can only do 10 or so games a season.

Theres not much difference considering its 21 quid or whatever per game in the DRS.

No. That's where we sit I think?

Thought the aisle started at 57/58?

I guess whoever gets a season ticket in the TE to the DRS side will be standing all season.

Yep.

Pretty much everyone up to the left of the goal stands. Stewards don't even bother telling us to sit down these days because there are too many people who won't.

I'll be in my 4th decade by the start of next season............I think I'll stay in the DRS  :)

So that's what 4D means, always assumed it could be Fordy?

Just a coincidence  ;)

We don't start right at the end ;)

Anybody know when these will be ready for collection????

september

I'll be getting a season ticket for me and my old man on Friday. First time i've been able to afford one!

I bought mine earlier for the DRS. First season ticket ever.

I wont be able to go to every game due to my work shifts, but i will be able to make 12 or so.

Finances mean it makes sense, its only a couple of quid difference to what i wouldve paid.

You'd better not sit near me you fucking bald cunt.

I don't think i could put up with the stench of desperation and failure that emanates from the fucking disgusting slab of uselessness you call a body, you grandad faced PONCE!!!

Told me early July, but said as i was miles away could pick up anytime within the first few home games.

im going to get one of these some time in the next couple of weeks .. absolute BARGAIn .. well done to Mr Fitton and co!

As suttonred said season tickets are available for collection early July.

Grandad face!? What about your grandad head you old wanker x

fuck off to whaddon road ;)

I bought mine on Saturday. Sat right my the white wall in the middle...cracking deal!

Dont laugh too loud, sounds like you might be sat next to me!

Yup, got my first ever season ticket on Sat. Also in the right place in the TE  8)

Then you're going to be dissapointed fatty, got our tickets this morning, just behind and along from you!!

:(

Im off to get mine this afternoon.

got mine last week - first one ever!!

going to pick up my anorak and flask this afternoon

Got it. And Id just like to say very good service in the ticket office as well. Thanks very much STFC, a true bargain.

Two other blokes were in there, doing the same as me, moving from the DRS back to the TE and looking forward to it.

Especially for the Championship.
