[RedandWhite]

Does anyone know roughly how many season tickets have sold so far?

Does anyone know roughly how many season tickets have sold so far?

Not sure for United.

I did read somewhere that Wednesday have sold "about" 20,000 but so far forums and local radio indicate that 60,000 have claimed to have one.

I did read somewhere that Wednesday have sold "about" 20,000

Where 'about' is used as a split definitive pro-verb ad-noun and actually means 'take 5,000 off that'.

I went in ticket office last week and was told approx 12,500

I went in ticket office last week and was told approx 12,500

It'd be some hard maths to do considering our different pricing for Kop and South/Family stands, but I'm just wondering what the difference in cash terms would be if we compared our 12,500 with Bradford's 17,000+ which, again, are going at £149 a pop?

I'd imagine we make a fair bit more, I'm just wondering if anyone on here could work out a ballpark figure. I'd attempt it, but my maths is atrocious.

Very intrigued by the route Bradford are taking with their season tickets. I'm just wondering if something similar would be doable at United (perhaps not for quite as little as £149, though).

With the corporate ,boxes ,restaurants in the John street plus the large prawn sandwich brigade in the south stand I think you can add another 1500 season tickets there I'm sure come kick off we will be around the same as last year with about 15 k season cards . I don't know how Bradford do it to be honest .
Only 2 boxes at the lane remain unsold for the season great going

If Bradford sold 18,000 (all at £149) they would make a revenue of £2.7m. If we have sold 12,500 at an average of £350 we make a revenue of £4.4m. Those are rough figures but yes, we make more despite selling only two thirds of what Bradford have shifted.

I think Bradford include membership cards to boost their total.

I'm sure that last season they claimed for more members than they had in the ground for some games.

Still a great effort by them but I would think that our revenues will be much higher than theirs

 

[Bladeloyal]

Yes Bradford did include membership card holders ,

if wednesday hasve sold 20000 at their prices theyll have 2 billion to spend

 

[Pollingtonblade]

If we get promoted I reckon we'll sell nigh on 20k next season.

Best thing was I know a few who bought the 3 year season tickets at a massive discount of around £15 per year. They justified as they would buy one every season anyway and if they're in the Premier League they'd save a fortune when Chansiri hikes the prices even more. Funny how Pigs always see the upside, my first thoughts on 3 year ST's at the lane would be "we might be in the conference in 3 years".

EDIT: This is probably why they think they've sold loads of tickets, they've counted the 3 year ones 3 times over, wouldn't surprise me!

Cant imagine we get anywhere near £350.00 average.
Lots of concessions would take it well below that figure, like £60.00 for under 18s for instance, which by the way, I do agree with. They are our future Blades for years to come.

Possibly. I am not sure what Bradford's concession rate is so I took a rough average of what our adult prices might equate to. Even if we average £300 per season ticket it comes out at £3.7m.

I'd never buy the three/five/ten year season tickets anyway - was it Port Vale who went into administration and the "new" club turned round and said they weren't honouring them?

EDIT: Yep... Port Vale

Would be a shame if that happened at S6

I'd say £300 would be a good ballpark figure to base an estimate for season ticket income on. Most common season ticket sold would be an adult Kop st, about £300; could say what about concessions, but on the other hand it's £100 extra on another popular stand (South Stand) plus the club will rake in a lot more on corporate season tickets. 15k season tickets sold at £300 = roughly £4.5m, might be a bit more, might be a bit less, but I'd suggest a fairly good guesstimate.

Fair estimate - I'd probably set the average a bit lower at say £275; there are probably more concessions (especially seniors) than you imagine. Senior rates are very attractive to my mind and many of us wil have taken early bird discount

 

[zablade]

Do we still do half season tickets? I remember adverts for them around Xmas time a few years back, but don't recall them being advertised over the last couple of years.

Nah .... though some of the Team are doing half seasons

Be nice if the club did a breakdown of season tickets sold at the start of the campaign. As a Limited company the club don't have to do anything such as this but it would be a good way of communicating with the fans. Out of pure curiosity I'd be fascinated to know the demographics of st sales. In my mind I have the vast majority of st sales being to adults but without being privy to such information I'm only guessing, ditto for nearly everybody else on this site.

 

[metalblade]

I wonder if our 10% off deal will look so good after we sell Adams or will the fans look at it and say duped again ?
