Record numbers of season tickets being sold

[klindle]

When I went to renew the other day the 'all or nothing' option was mentioned to which I replied that it wasn't made clear online.
However paid up even though  I didn't want the Rugby ticket, Programme, Half time draw ticket(but would be okay to have a chance of winning) and shirt (but could get one for grandson). I raised the issue of Friendly and Cup game parking and guess what, they hadn't thought about it yet! I suggested an option to 'part exchange' the other unwanted options and was asked to put it in writing to the Ticketing Manager, which I did via email and still waiting,watch this space!

over 1500 sold in the first 3 days now that's good

I must admit, that is impressive

*swoon*

Well I renewed today (My 60th in a row) plus one new one and 2 kids.

You must have asked the same as me, only I never got told to put it in writing

I hope we have kept momentum up and they are still selling well.Especially now Mr Frost is impressed.

Mine better be brand new when I get it.

[roversdude]

Pity that alliance discount can't be used even though it states 5% discount

If you are not 60 yet, you should wait or you will pay full price. Buy it when the date has dawned.

[keith79]

Not me. it's my dad he is 64.

[ballysbackin]

Right in that case Go For It ha ha

When I first 'came of age' I bought mine before my 60th but they gave me seniors price as my birthday falls in closed season.

[roversdude]

Bloody hell, and here was me thinking that buying early I might have a chance of winning something if they did some sort of reward competition

I can see now why they've scrapped the penalty thing. We'd have more people turning up than for an EFL Cup game!

It says that the young supporters have taken advantage of the deal but in £ notes it could be a low figure if £30 is the starting price . I doubt 1500 @ £30 is going to run the club ! But it does show that the clubs are getting the message across now .

The pricing and 'bolt on'  are a perfect fit both with the Community Strategy and that of growing the fan base of younger generation supporters who will provide the future bedrock of support.

Took advantage of it being payday and the last couple of days of the 5% discount to renew mine today.

Yes - mine is in July when I got to be a SENIOR- a big Boy but I  waited just in case. (True Yorkshireman with my pennies ha )

As far as I know you have to be 60 before a certain date in August to qualify. My birthday is in October and I'm sure that I got my oap price the following August when I renewed again but nearly 61.

I've done mine. £269.80 for an old barsteward cat A West Stand.
It's a fair point that Mike has made: do we know how many of those sold up to now are new STH's?? Hopefully some are. Because if they're all already STH's it doesn't matter how quickly they sell we'll still only sell as many as this season. Was that just over 3000?

[roversdude]

A fair few have already said on here that they have new ones, not renewals (me for one in addition to renewing mine) so fingers crossed

That was the same for myself, also October birthday.

There's no incentive for non ST holders to purchase tickets in the first week so we have to assume the majority will be renewals with some buying extras for family etc.

The 5% discount may not be a deal breaker for some so we'd hope there's every reason for all to renew (unless their working circumstances have changed etc.)

On face value if the first week doesn't generate 3000 plus can be considered a success?

There's probably going to be a steady uptake on sales which could be boosted once promotion is confirmed. The next boost normally comes when fixtures come out and folk start thinking about the football season again.
