The season ticket debate has imo been done to death, those who can afford to have already got them ,and work n other things like lack of work have put paid to a good few people not renewing.

Tickets for Preston don't go on general sale until next week. I'd easily expect both figures to reach 6,000 and 1,000 respectively.

I'm surprised the Billy Sharp factor hasn't added more onto season tickets sales.


I'd hope we'd be taking more than 2000 to Preston, especially with the number of tickets sold so far.

I'm not and stated as such over the last few seasons.

All the 'we need to speculate', 'sign a big name' and the fans will come and ST's will rise campaigners.........well we're waiting.

It's going to be a bit more of a long haul IMO. We need another successful campaign and then keep having them for a few seasons. This will be very difficult, as we would practically have to get in Europe to equal what we have done over the last 10yrs (when our fan base grew then)

The \"be all and end all\" of season tickets is quite simply they cost more to purchase than to get \"Pissed up 23 times a year\" ( assuming you get pissed easily ).

Even the lowest price \"(Cat C - Adult)\" is the equivelent of 5 pints.

Highest price is about 8.5 pints.

Lots of folk prefer 3 - 5 hours in Pub to 90 mins at Keepmoat i reckon.

Just bought my tickets for Sheff Wed , Accrington and x2 for Bristol and they didnt tell me until i'd paid that theres a charge for paying by debt card 50p per ticket even though its all 1 transaction . Talk about no incentive for buying your tickets in advance for lots of games , i know its not alot ( only £2 ) .

It has been that from the first day though.
I don't agree that its right. In fact its bloody robbery but its not a new thing they have started doing.
Management make the decision then the girls on the counter get the shit.

i believe (although i'm happy to be corrected), that the extra 50p per ticket when paying on card is something the council enforced. anyways, i got my 2 season tickets and 2 tickets for preston yesterday.

row U, 408/409 south stand....anybody anywhere close to me?

Living in Nottingham I order all my tickets by phone, and get all that are available at that time usually one month in advance ie at the moment have Bristol and Hull, I also pay on top of that the postage charge of 50p, order today here tomorrow.
When the season starts I pick my batch if pre-ordered tickets up on match day.
I find the girls in the office more than helpfull and am always told about the charges before I buy them, I know it adds up to a few  pounds over the season but as I don't buy a season ticket, because we tend to take a few holidays through autumn and spring, it's well worth it to get my regular seat.
