ST Sales
ST Sales
Apparently season ticket sales have reached 1500, with the discount deadline due to expire next week I would have thought 3/4 of the people getting a ST would have got one by now.
It rather goes to show that we could do with a couple of very good signings otherwise we're going to struggle in terms of attendances next season and will lose even more money.

Re:
I think considering what we had to put up with last season, that's a pretty good total."Snake" wrote:2,700.
Gulp, that ain't good given a 5% discount and 5% inflation.
Without the discount, we could easily have season numbers down around the 2,000 mark.
I knwo this wasn't the point you were making Snake, but if 5% inflation had been added on I dread to think how few would have been sold.
Remember also that this year's total sales is up to before 2 of the pre-season friendlies.
I understand that on a like for like period, the sales totals are very similar to last year, so up to 10% additional sales were achieved last year from between the pre-season friendlies and the end of the season.

3,200 last year."Roo" wrote:How many did we sell in total last season......and how many had we sold by this stage last summer? Just wondering.

Re:
so i think we sold c. 2,000 around the discount period, which would mean a further 700 following that?"Snake" wrote:2,700.

given that most of the signings came after the end of the discount period, and certainly the good performances, i think the current optimism around the club accounts for the 700. selling 2,000 on the back of two seasons' of non-league football then is not bad. the discount helped, but i saw it as necessary as a 'defensive' step, rather than a means to increasing the season ticket base.
personally, i'm surprised we've sold that many, but then i've been surprised at season ticket sales over the last three seasons now. we are incredibly loyal/incredibly stupid/creatures of habit with nothing better to do on a saturday afternoon.

Re:
Now this is something that I would definately consider, as this season is the first in at least 15 that I haven't purchased a season ticket."GodalmingYellow" wrote:Now would be a very good time for OUFC to implement a membership scheme and prepaid book of 10 tickets.
