I thought it was keep last seasons, then an update on download to mobile which will be sent to your via email. Maybe I have it wrong.

Sorry to piggyback on this but got a bit bored tonight so thought I’ll add up how many season tickets are left available in the south stand down to 568

I don’t know if we keep some back, but if not could see it sell out most games which would be nice

On this subject… how’s the % increase in ST sales v this time last year going?
A couple of weeks ago (possible more as time flies) it was 43% UP

So are we using revalidated ST from last season as I was told by the Ticket Office , because a friend has just renewed and he has got a new one with this seasons date on 25/26 , a bit confusing I don't want to turn up and look a fool at the Turnstile . (  I do have a screen save of the digital Ticket for back up)

Why not use your digital ticket as your primary means? You'll get used to it.

I can use it , but it's nice to have the real thing as back up just in case the phone play's up for some reason.  :)

I'm going to use last seasons card as back up in the remote possibility my phone battery runs out.  The QR code on it is the only thing that matters.

I'll be using my e-season ticket. I'm just trying to encourage others to do the same.

We've moved on a bit since having to carry around our full season ticket books. Just takes a little while for everyone to get used to it.

I have saved the e ticket to my phone but I have also requested an actual (credit card size) plastic ticket as back up.
When I asked if last years plastic ticket would suffice the answer was no, I have to pick up a new one.

Yep, last seasons cards are no good, you get a new card if you requested one.

The cards don’t possess some magical quality. They are just a background to print on the QR code. You can do the same on a piece of paper, on your phone, or have it tattooed to your hand. All the turnstile people do is scan the QR code, whatever surface it is printed on.
Title: Re: Season Tickets
Post by: drfchound on July 22, 2025, 09:41:20 am
Having it already saved to my phone and not fancying having it tattooed onto my hand I reckoned that a plastic card is a better bet than a bit of paper which might get torn, wet through or blown away in a gale.
But thanks for the tip.

When we played Everton I printed our five tickets off. By mistake I printed two copies of one missing one of the others. I printed the missing one off and threw one of double prints away. When we got to the turnstile after about five minutes the operator let us in despite the doubly printed one not scanning. That is why I wanted a card again this season. Technology is great when it works but human error can always be a problem.

My new card arrived in the post today, with the same pug ugly boatrace photo from last year.

Job done.

I'm sure that's similar to last year now.

1400 more than same time last year.

This is more than the total of last season isn't it? Just shy of 5,000 last season??

Expecting to sell around another 900 before the season starts,hope we do

Amazing if we did but unlikely the season starts a week on Saturday and these would more than likely be new ST holders making that unlikely too.

I presume that will be based on historic purchasing and trends  that he is making the assumption of 900. Fingers crossed it will be a decent number

Got to be possible, end of month pay cheques go in 31st, perfect timing for a season ticket purchase for those that like to keep their money close to them until last possible moment.

Just don't wear a belt so you can whip your jeans off quick to get scanned and aren't holding up the queue for everyone else.

FYI was just on the tickets site doing a count for Exeter and noticed that the South stand season tickets have been taken off sale, only East and west on sale.

Does that mean we have sold the allocation of season tickets in the south or is it just being done so we have some to go on general sale
Title: Re: Season Tickets
Post by: Padge_DRFC on July 30, 2025, 06:03:02 am
Can't sell any until after the game as the south stand is sold out for this game. A season ticket holder wouldnt be able to go

Ok would have just assumed that they would carry on selling them and say that for this match you will have to go in east or west but that is understandable

It’s been great hearing the sales updates, so with just over one day to go, what’s the latest?
Have we got over the 6000 line?
Are we still running at 43% uplift v this time LY?
Have we sold the most ST’s since our Championship days?
Spread the positive news.

not sure, didn’t like to ask the lady serving us - they were pretty busy which is good to see
