Question Season Tickets for next year - any news?

[RHB]

Any news or whispers on the club wanting to take my money?

No news or whispers, but I would imagine that there will be no movement on season cards at all until the deal is finally signed off (looking like May). The alternative is that 'Itchy fingers' Martin could ferret away ST takings whilst he is still the owner.

Later than normal but that's to be expected given the situation at the club.This could possibly stretch into May

I see this "delay" as a good thing to be fair. For starters we aren't going to be spending our biggest source of income before this season has already concluded. Which we have done for the last god knows how many years, leaving us in big trouble over the summer months.

Secondly, it actually creates a bit of a buzz. Announce the season card news on the back of sale completion (perhaps a marquee signing also?) and the sales will rocket higher than anything we have seen in recent times.

Can’t see anyone paying out for a season ticket while Ron’s name is above the door so guess it will happen in may if the final takeover dates are correct

Personally think it is good news that the Consortium are not needing the Season Ticket Income this early. We all know that the Early Bird offers were there because the Club needed the money to get through to the start of the season. Hence trouble in paying bills during the season.

Yes, the squad need one or two additions, but there are an awful lot of things that need to be dealt with as well. Fortunately Kevin isn't far short of the squad he needs.

As long as the delay does not mean they post them the week of the first game as have done in the past.

I'd prefer the club set up a collection point for South,East and West for the first game of the season rather than spending god knows how much on postage to post a ticket only for those tickets to make it back to Roots Hall.

It's the equivalent for me of posting a boomerang

Hopefully they will still have the option of adding the season ticket to your phone. That was very easy.

As a good will leaving gesture Ron is going to buy all supporters a season ticket for next season .

Very true but the big question is hopefully if we do try to sign a marquee signing are they willing to wait until the deal is finally announced of course we want it asap but who knows how long now ?

I personally don't think the club should put tickets on sale until the take over is complete.

Focuses minds on all sides.

Takeover completion= season ticket news I presume.

Don’t think he’d even have the money to pay for one at the moment, he’d even pay that late I guess.

Personally I would rather see families get more of a discount than over 60’s.

I say that as someone who will be 60 this year. Most people my age have far more cash than they ever did as a family man…. Even after their expensive divorce or two….. Sometimes three.

No reason why both can’t happen- not mutually exclusive I guess.

 

[kentblues]

Only if the prices are right.

I'd like to see an incentive where prices are set a reasonable price to get far more into the ground and better food and drink options to get fans in earlier.

Maximising attendance and then providing decent food and drink would be the best way of maximising revenues. I think at the moment the additional spend per head is a shocking 50p or less…..

Is the 'Catering' an in house thing though? Or is it contracted out and we just get a flat rate fee? Similar to the shop.

If the average spend per attendee is only 50p it kinda doesn't matter. And that's the point!

Of course it matters if we get a pre set amount it is of no consequence to the club what profit or otherwise the caterers make.

If the club's profit was pre-determined, I don't suppose Tom L & Co would be as interested as they seem to be in raising the per head spend.

Does anyone know if the capacity will be restored over the summer?

It seems to be slipping ever downwards, presumably for safety reasons.

There’s not much point in reducing prices to get more people in if we’re not allowed to sell more tickets.
