Season Ticket Tracker 2025/2026


so 37k plus corporate and aways isn't going to leave many for match day sales.

I do think we have less match by match sales than a lot of the premier league teams, but still not leaving many.
Match by match sales will be capped at 3-4k depending on how many tickets the away team take
It's there 🤪 The one with grey background is the 9:41am numbers so you can see what's changed where using the zoom

BLOCKED has gone up 20 but since 9:41am the SOLD has gone up 42 if you take that into account so singles are still selling
What does BLOCKED mean?
 
To put it into context we have more season ticket holders than the mags do. They obviously keep more to sell match by match at inflated prices to their new band wagon fans.
Which also has some benefit to fans who can only go occasionally, you could argue.

Problem when we get to this stage is that the club can start ramping prices up as demand outstrips supply. Which is also why expanding the stadium is a positive from a fans perspective. To keep prices down you want supply to be a little higher than demand.

I’d rather increase the prices than extend the ground

It should not have been extended in the first place
 
I'll be amazed if they activate the resell function mind, can't see it being in place for next season
They may be hesitant to allow it freely but it may be demand specific, so they can't lose out. If they activate it when games are sold out or nearly, they get the opportunity to make a few extra quid out of ticket sales while also benefiting those who can't go. Easy to say we'll let you register to sell your ticket and allow it to sell when no other tickets are available.

Yeah, agree with that, they might be able and prepared to use it when the grounds sold out. Just can't imagine they'll allow it for games they still have tickets available. There'll be 3,000 or whatever for matchday sales and they'll want the circa £40 per ticket. Wouldn't make sense to allow fans to also sell their tickets on at the same time because the vast majority of that money wouldn't go to the club. If its sold out then, aye, they might allow it. Although even then they might think that generating scarcity by allowing some games to be genuinely hard to attend without a season ticket might help drive demand
 
You will have to explain these two nuggets of forward thinking ambition
We’ve spent 20 years playing in a ground that has been 20-35% empty most of the time

I don’t mind paying more to have the ground consistently close to capacity

I can’t remember how it used to work with stubhub, but I wonder if the buyer would be able to change age category?

One thing that could potentially be big for the club is having a SCH list up a kids tickets for the cost price (whatever the early bird price was divided by 19) and then the club be able to sell it as an adult match day price (£40 or whatever it ends up being)

That extra revenue could be pretty hefty

Aye lets stick up prices which will no doubt price out the bairns and therefore the next generation just so it looks better. See here for a more detailed explanation as to why it's better it wasn't left at 42k. Also bear in mind that the Premier Concourse was shut for a period which is similar to not having the extension anyway. Unless some are really bothered about empty seats and the mags (and other clubs) taking the piss or that it doesn't look good?

I'm not sure he's thought it through as you'd just end up with restricted ST sales, a membership scheme, lottery match day tickets, inflated prices and bairns missing out which would affect the future 'core' during more shit times.
