Re: Season Ticket Sales “Near 4,000”
Received ours today, signed for delivery so that's a few quid but still a healthy profit margin for stuffing envelopes.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 1:46 pm £7 postage and still not here. I wonder how much extra the club have made off of season ticket holders getting them posted

Tickets arrived today. Free badge too. Thumbing through the fixtures is sooooooo much nicer than last season.

Re: Season Ticket Sales “Near 4,000”
It’s a business. A loss making business. But the steps we see, sponsorship, new shop, player sales, prices for this and that, are reducing the loss all the time.
All we need is to continue improving on the pitch.

Re: Season Ticket Sales “Near 4,000”
Covered in player sales. But of course I missed the add on payments for future transfers and burger sales, kids on the pitch promotional stuff, programme sales, subscriptions and probably lots more ways of making a bob or two.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 11:34 pmYou forgot the transfer fees.
But the costs are high too. The club seem creative when trying to increase revenue and good luck to them. Can’t expect Teague to keep putting his hand in his pocket to bale us out every year and Hearn has already sold the family silver. Be sometime yet before the business breaks even.

Re: Season Ticket Sales “Near 4,000”
Popped in today to collect my Season Tickets and had a look at the new shop which wasn`t quite ready, but is now i believe according to a picture on Twitter. The sales counter look so much better with TVs on the wall and Murals of certain players..............Big Improvement
`Par` the nice guy on reception mentioned that sales of Season Tickets were being received every Day as we near the 4,100 figure.
I also asked about the form that you`ll need for the Three FREE tickets that come with each ST and he said these should be available soon.

The staffing costs look very high when you add up the club admin people and the rather large list for the academy.dOh Nut wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 11:58 pmCovered in player sales.

Considering we can still lose any player who hasn't signed a pro contract for pennies I'm still not convinced of its worth compared to developing players of Ekpiteta's age, for example.

Yes, that’s right, I think we are approaching 4,100, with new Season Tickets being bought every day according to reception today.Andersonitis wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 6:37 pm i was told we were over 4000 last night but nowhere near 4500

Re: Season Ticket Sales “Near 4,000”
Got mine yesterday.
Can't believe that there isn't a more efficient (and less wasteful) way of issuing season tickets than literally printing out 23 individual tickets.
The little badge was a nice touch though.

I like the individual tickets, but the badge is a real waste of money and resources.Buckingham wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 11:23 am Got mine yesterday.

Re: Season Ticket Sales “Near 4,000”
4100 is pretty bloody good. With more coming along every day perhaps 4,250 by Kick off. I wonder how we compare to other L2 clubs. Up there with most I would guess.Cheshunto wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 7:26 pmYes, that’s right, I think we are approaching 4,100, with new Season Tickets being bought every day according to reception today.Andersonitis wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 6:37 pm i was told we were over 4000 last night but nowhere near 4500

Bradford had reached around 12,000 by mid-April, after which prices went up by 50%.dOh Nut wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 5:58 pm4100 is pretty bloody good.

£150 for an ST up there, but then you can buy a terraced house for that.
