Re: Season ticket sales : Tue Dec 27, 2011 10:14 pm
With regard to ticket sales, a word of caution, there has not been anything official from the club re sales other than to state they had sold 8000. This was at the back end of November.Talk of 9k and 10k sales is at this stage nothing more than conjecture, based on rumour and comments along the lines of a friend of a friend who works at Saints has told me they have sold 9k.
What i would say is that if Saints are not well past 9k now, then they will have to sell a lot of tickets between the new year and the 14th January (which is the last date stipulated on the Saints website for season tickets being on general sale) for them to have a chance of hitting 10k.
I would hope that Saints do announce the volume of sales prior to the seasons start as this is something they should use to promote not only the club but the game as a whole.
What i would say myself from looking at the reserved seating sales since the early bird deadline at the end of November is that the sales have dropped off markedly in December compared to earlier months.
If there are large sales volumes still occurring, then they must be in either the unreserved sections, family section or the West terrace.
