Albion confirm 91 per cent season ticket renewal rate

[Machiavelli]

10% drop is about 2,600?

No. It's a 9% drop, of about 23,000, which amounts to 23,000 x 0.09 = c2,000.
And this figure relates to renewals. In other words, if the club manages to sell c2,000 season tickets, that'll be the same as this season; if they sell more than that, it'll be a higher number.

I know 1 off and 3 joining. lovely boss.

 

[dazzer6666]

Then give us figures.

Does it matter ? I was agreeing with the point that it's renewals, not new/total sales. FWIW 8 & 3 for sure......and the 3 will still go to games but can't commit to every week

*waits to be told 'not a representative sample'*

Will be interested to see what the total ST sales looks like but even 20,000 is pretty damn good considering.

i reckon 10 - 15% of season ticket holders never turn up anyway.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

I'm one of the 9% but it has nothing to do with the way the team is playing (rough with the smooth and all that) and everything to do with a first child and house move on the way.

I'd be willing to bet that a fair amount of the others who aren't renewing would have similar reasons.

And will probably still attend anyway, on a match-by-match basis.

Inevitable that you'd get a slight drop off from initial numbers. When the stadium was finished, there was such a frenzy of buying, from people desperate to be a part of the experience and afraid they might not be able to get tickets on a match by match basis, that I imagine a fair few bought STs even in the knowledge they might only make ten home games a season. Through living miles away, or working shifts etc.

Now the stadium capacity has expanded, and numbers have settled, it's those types who might not necessarily renew, simply because they are more confident they can get single tickets for games easily enough. It doesn't mean they won't come, or that attendances are going to plummet.

You'll also get new ST holders who might have wanted one previously but who've now found themselves in a position to buy- maybe their financial situation has improved or they've moved closer or changed jobs and have Saturdays free.

I imagine next season's numbers won't be far off this season's in the end.

I didn't renew my 2 season tickets. I was missing too many games because of the midweek fixtures and late changes to the kick-off times. I also fancied sitting somewhere different so I could try a few of the other stands out on a match-by-match basis.














And then I found myself buying a new ST this morning.

 

[Blackadder]

Say 50% of those were bought by new people, that's still around a 1,300 person drop?

EDIT: no official match day post yet?

Say 0% and that is a bigger drop.

Say 80% and that's not bad. Say 120% and that's brilliant.


Whaddya say?

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

If they're anything like me then I would think (hope?) so!

Saying what I think is correct

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I've not renewed my three*

*I have got three new ones though.

 

[Icy Gull]

Disgustingly small season ticket sales for a championship team, we must be bottom of the season ticket sales figures of Championship clubs now.

Feeling really gloomy and depressed at this terrible news

Where did you go for in the end?

 

[nail-Z]

WSU

 

[Bozza]

The seat behind me. He better be quiet.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

WSU

It's the stuff of dreams.

 

[TomandJerry]

The seat behind me. He better be quiet.

He sat behind me once...never known a person to be so loud eating a hot dog, makes you wonder what he's doing with it.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

We have TWENTY THOUSAND season ticket holders.

Just think about that for a second. Mind boggling.

 

[Rogero]

How do our season ticket numbers compare to other teams? We are probably top of our league and doing well against a third of the premiership.
