you can deffo walk all round ive been in, in answer to buying a cheaper ticket that is probably an option on lesser games, but I would have thought if you buy a ticket for one game it will be unallocated anyway so will be whatever price they decide.

So we'll be able to change ends at half time, just like the good old days.

Wigan have sold 7000+. Why do Saints never give any indication of season ticket sales?

Perhaps because we usually have other things to celebrate each year whereas Wigoon have been so success starved that they have had to make a song and dance about something?

As of today Saints had sold 7900 season tickets with about 500 to 600 from last year who have not yet renewed. You've got to imagine most of them will. Brand new ST sales are still going steady with still half a dozen a day.

So... I wouldn't be surprised to see close to 9000 by the start of the season.

If that's good or bad I have no idea. But it is considerably up on last year.

If we could start next season with 9000+ season ticket holders that would be fantastic.
Now Is the time for the new marketing chap to earn his corn after the initial rush has calmed down.

I think 7900 beats any previous season ticket sales if the statement is accurate.

9000+ would be good, I can't remember what all the quotes where, for what % the likes of Warrington and co got added to their average attendance for a new stadium. I think it was somewhere between 10-20%. With season ticket sales of 9000+ Saints would seam to fall into a similar % increase.

A good first season at home and you could probably grow that number to 11 or 12k in 3 or 4 years.

I think the percentage for dire was much higher. They had terrible attendance figures at wilderspool; some matches were sub 4000 not too many years ago.

I think we could well end up closer to 9,500 than 9,000, with pre-Xmas pay day looming and prezzies to be bought.

Re: Season ticket sales : Tue Nov 15, 2011 4:46 pm  

when are the tickets being shipped out, its just I don't trust saints they always mess up. They will probably deny taking my cash and I will end up with jack.

Re: Season ticket sales : Tue Nov 15, 2011 10:13 pm  

these questions may have been asked and answered already but i don't have time to trawl through all the posts to see if they have....

has it been announced what price a walk up ticket will be at the new ground? will different stands cost different amounts? will you really be able to change ends at HT?

because of work commitments i tend to only be able to get to half our home games each year. at the moment a season ticket in the west terrace costs £200. assuming it will be about £25 per game for walk ups, a season ticket will be better value so long as i can get to 8/9 games. however, a season ticket will presumably stop me from having the choice of trying the different stands for different matches, whereas if i buy on the day i could sit/stand in a different place each time...

decisions decisions...
