Record numbers of season tickets being sold
« on March 29, 2017, 11:49:52 am by silent majority »
From what I gather the club have had two record days of season ticket sales, with the DNA+ season ticket showing up very strongly. On the first day alone sales were 4x what they were this time last season. Keep it up.

Good youngsters prices and people returning who stopped being season ticket holders during the Dickov years.

Great news about ST sales so far.
Purchased mine yesterday and my grandsons first ST. The latter cost me £28.50.
Costs 1.23 a match. This is unbelievable value for money and will ensure the next generation of our family gets to know what it's like to follow a proper footy team.
Well done Donny Rovers.

Good to hear Martin. Can't keep it up though as can only renew once! 😃

All very positive. My only observation about the bolt on thing is it's either all or nothing.

Say I'm interested in buying shirt and car park but not Dons, it would be better if on the online renewal, it gave you the options to add the items separately into your shopping basket (i.e the more you add, the greater the cross discount)

I don't suppose the club are going to release the numbers sold to date?

The fact is that this club has a lot of other well supported clubs within easy travelling distance both this side of the pennines and even Manchester and Liverpool for supporters who cannot stand watching their side losing.
  The club are doing their best both on and off the field to increase revenues,a very well done to them.
  It is great to see better ticket sales at the K.M.lets hope it continues throughout the preseason and  we get better support from the local community.

I've bought my lad a season ticket along with mine, I doubt he will go very much as he isn't even 4 until October but I thought for £28.50 it was worth getting him on the system and he might surprise me and go to a few games.

I've just gone for the basic membership as I walk or bike to the ground, don't buy a programme, don't buy a shirt and don't like rugby so the bolt on is a bit pointless for me! I can see how it would appeal to a lot of people though.

But you do get a DNA card with your season ticket. I am right in this aren't I?

Yes you do. They said available July time.  It's well good value and hopefully the club will be rewarded with increased sales. It seems quite a few will be tempted back which is good. They just need to actually market it properly.

   Also the add on scheme was going very well.

It is going to be a bit like the Purple Voucher book - discounts at restaurants/attractions etc

Because I'm not intersted in going to the Dons I asked if I could trade the Dons ticket for Cup and friendly game car parking, I was told no, it's all or nothing, so I'll have a Dons ticket that will never get used. The Cup and friendly car parking extra doesn't seem to be available this year

Do you have any friends who might be interested in going to the Dons, Filo?

Because I live away from Donny I won't get the chance to go to see the Dons very often, but I still think it's a nice thing to have.

My dad has renewed his today and also rang to say he's got me one as well, so as a direct result of this new DNA system I'm back as an ST holder after a few years without one. Fair play to the club as this is pobably the best ticketing promotion in a very long time.

I'm guessing but the combination of pre-paid STs/memberships etc totalled around or just shy of 4000 for this season.

For next season, expanding to around 5000 must be considered very positive. Of course, the ratio of juniors might be quite high but I'm sure we all hope the young adult increase significantly as this is the group that is least represented.

On top of that, if we regain more lapsed ST holders then, we're definitely on the up and revenues can make a difference.

I hope the DNA scheme kicks off and we all try to use the discounts/offers as often as possible as this can only attract more participants and organisations to sign up, particularly locally based businesses. Anything that can help the local economy must be a good thing.

That's a good question. I have the feeling we are talking next season, ie 2018. I don't believe the DNA cards will be issued till July, by which time the Dons' regular season will be almost over.

It's all relative unless we know how many are renewals and how many are new sales.

Ahh Mr Frost,more bile coming our way.Tin hats in order.
   Are you  ever going to come up with an idea that will make the club some money?or just continue to sit back and criticise the people who do their best for the club.
