Ambitious Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I've just had a look how many unallocated seats there are on the website - 7682 - so it looks as though there has roughly been 1000 people not renew that had a season ticket last season which has obviously been offset (massively) with new season ticket holders which is good. I saw the Daily Mail had said there were 19,000 season tickets purchased ahead of the first game. It does seem as though the allowable number of season tickets is far below that of tickets available to home fans (possibly due to free tickets being issued for organisations and the like). The Barnsley game has 6391 available tickets (which would point to 1291 tickets being bought for that game at this stage, roughly 2 weeks to go). If I had to guess I would say roughly 27 thousand tickets are made available online (minus away fans, complimentary tickets, etc) which would suggest we have around 19,300 season ticket holders at this stage. I would possibly consider a further 1000+ will sign up when DD is made available based on the DD option. It would be good to stay above 22,000 for every home game - not sure if that's achievable given that some away support will be low and leave a lot of empty seats, but would definitely helps the balance sheet!

I don’t think there will be many low attendances from away fans this season, for most of them it will be their big day out, Oxford brought over 3,000 even though their average gate is around 8,000 including away fans.

If w ehave sold over 19k season tickets already, (which if true is absolutely amazing) I cannot imagine we would ever have attendances of below 22k this season.

Few sandwiches, projector etc thrown in. 4k for 4 hours. Take of the electric, gas, indemnity, staff, tax due etc that's still 20 k gross per week for that one bit alone. Throw in match day boxes, meals and the odd wedding reception, party, Sunday booking that's some revenue. Oh yeah they make millions from corporate and hospitality. All sorts of stuff. They could do with reopening the cafes, selling food again at the Yard and reopening the back Yard coffee shop. And selling more food at the concourse again.
