Season ticket sales

[herthab]

Think there may be quite a bit of activity tomorrow. A lot of out of town fans would've waited for the friendlies instead of making a special trip.

[Mplanney]

Can't really work out whats happended with the season ticket count over the last few days / week.  Either the counter hasn't really been up to date at all and sales have just carried on ticking over, or have we had a big surge in the last day or so.  

Hopefully the latter and it will continue to sell a large number a day again.
Got to say I'm suddenly a lot more optimistic about getting the target than this time last week.

Yes I'm sticking with 6,200. I see no reason to change the prediction. In fact looking at the Port Vale sales posted in another thread it could be more.
I'm from out of Town, & can understand fully why a lot would wait for the friendlies, & / or close to the deadline. I got mine by post, but only because I wanted to get the ST so as not to be a hypocrite when gobbing off about what a good deal it is. Saving the seat also came into it, but wasn't the main reason.

I was there around 1.20 today, and saw another two people getting a season ticket.
I was queuing out the door but the others were all buying tickets for tommorow (like me).

[Arnold.J.Rimmer]

there was about 10 people queuing out the door when i drove past about 20 minutes ago, i assume most were getting pompey tickets

[Simon Pieman]

Unless they've missed a load of tickets when they've counted them (still) then I don't think we'll get 6000.

Still, it's good to get more than last year.

[Hatch]

I reckon if we get to about 5000, personally I always thought 6000 was a little optimistic (not that there is anything wrong with optimism!)

[axs]

that sentence is confusing me, you reckon if we get to 5000 then what?

Sorry it is meant to read the final number will be around the 5000 mark

[janaage]

So just over 600 to go to get to 5,000, which would be a great achievement imo, anythin over 4,500 would be good though.  As others have said 6,000 always seemed a little bit too many but if we could crack 5,000 I'd be well happy.

Really need a final 10 day push to get the 60 a day average.

[Batch]

Still getting 30 a day on average, which means we should hit 4700. That is a 1500 increase on last seasons 3200 (+ 46%), which is pretty damn sweet really.

But if we do break 5k, that would be FAN-tastic.

You heard anything back about that Adver subeditor's job?

[flammableBen]

It's a shame that excitement about the deal never really got out of the starting blocks before fizzling into dusty smoke. After the ups and downs and downs and downs of the last decade and a bit, it was always going to be tricky to convince returning/new to commit to a whole season.

Hopefully not hitting 6k won't put the board off trying out some match day ticket offers. Drawing the people in for one or two more games is a much more realistic way of hooking fans, particularly new ones. Going from vaguely interested to investing in a season ticket is a fairly big jump for a new fan to make.

Still working on it,how about

Late sales rush would be just the ticket for Town

[The Grim Reaper]

I'm quite optimistic that there will be a late surge in sales with people waiting for their July pay day.
