Season Tickets 23/24

[ForzaCounty]

£27 if you want to watch us next season, scandalous pricing.

They've now backtracked and it's £24/22 for cat A/B games.

It's still far too much for Division Four, and worrying that there's nobody in the decision-making process that understands these things, but at least the club has reacted quickly.

Pricing for lower league clubs is always a very fine balancing act. Fans clamour for signings to improve the team yet they don’t want debt nor increased prices. Should owners finance the club? Not really imo, assist short term with cash flow perhaps but clubs need to move towards greater sustainability. Stand on their own two feet.

Stevenage had passed the 1,000 ticket sales mark.

Slow handclap.

 

[Gladders]

Our early bird finishes to tomorrow and with it being payday, expect a few more to buy before it finishes.

This is why grammar was invented.

 

[AdamStag]

5,000 ST’s sold, which is a brilliant effort.

Certainly going in the right direction off the pitch, just need to match it on the pitch

 

[Conker]

Over a thousand of them not renewals too.

My your a tad tetchy lately if you want perfect grammar go read the guardian or the times

We are actually proud of our pricing structure. Obviously we have the ground and population to be able to do it but the brand has still to be sold. 20,000 attendance at £200 will bring in a lot more income than 10000 at £400. We cannot match the spending power of 4 or 5 in our division but that sort of following will still give us a competitive budget. Just hope that we can spend it more wisely this time.

it makes sense to do that, especially with the extra food/drink etc purchased at the ground.

Obviously only works if you’ve the population to do it, but it’s clever

It’s great what Bradford do, and with the income a club with that fanbase can generate you will always be near the top at this level budget wise rightly so.

Like you say it’s about spending it right and also imo using those crowds to your benefit because it feels like it almost goes against you at home quite a bit.

Definitely. We're in a pretty unique position of being able to do so and lots of immitation schemes have died after a season.

Always makes me chuckle though how fans rip into our pricing then cry Twenty's Plenty. We either want cheaper football as a collective or we don't. Your choice, makes sense to be supportive of it in my mind.

I wasn’t knocking your pricing structure, actually I think it’s great.
I was merely saving Firthy the effort of replying.

Having a decent size fanbase helps, too.

THE LAST WALTZ - soz m8, couldn’t resist.

5,380 at the end of the early bird window, slightly down on last season but good outcome considering the state of economy. Away allocation will be maximum 1,200 again then. Don't know what matchday prices are yet, but I expect a £2 increase to £22. I also expect we'll stick to our policy of declaring actual attendances rather than tickets sold (to help the narrative that we don't need a new ground - because we are not getting one), we had a few midweek games with attendances lower than the ST numbers last season.

You also have to take into account the increase in overheads that have affected the clubs in the past year(same as all of us). As you say, a balancing act as affordability is a serious consideration.

We announce tickets sold than the actual attendance and it does my head in, whereas the difference won’t be much, the figures are false.

I used to mock clubs that did it as it’s bollocks, but yet here we are doing the same thing.

I don’t like it they just want to join the rest of them which I sort of get, although I’m sure we had some games with a decent amount less than announced we always had comfortably more than our ST sales last season.

 

[Boz]

3117 sold for TRFC as of the end of June. About 350 shy of last season, which is not bad given disappointing year, price hike and economic circumstances.

 

[Indian Dan]

Our sales are hovering around what we sold last season - the 5000 mark. Which is pretty good after the shite served up week after week. Seeing as we’ll probably average 9-10,000 those paying full price matchday prices is probably better than flogging another 1000 STs.

 

[FiRTHYY]

Great to see so many clubs shifting 5,000+ ST’s.

That was unheard of at this level a few years ago.

Well exactly. Tuesday night matches as a rule of thumb i can’t make, still get a ST as it’s value for money still and saved the faff with away tickets etc, but as i’ll watch on ifollow it’s kinda like i’ve attended twice haha.

Great but still in the shitster league

 

[Stocky]

4.5k for us, surpassed last year. Surprised because of the price increase, thought it could be down.

EDIT: Apologies, got the numbers wrong way round. 5.4k Sold.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

We'll have shifted dozens by now!

5.4k you mean

That's a good couple of mill in the warchest, now announce some signings!

 

[AdamStag]

We’ve even (quite laughably - but you never know) capped ours at 6,000

After the dark days of haslam the fans are returning in record numbers, the youth academy is working wonders and the connect with schools, youngsters and families through this is helping spur this.

the connect between the club and town has never been so strong.
