That's also the deadline for people wanting to go on the pay monthly scheme

I'd say bets are off on the final figure. There's no incentive to buy early so I guess many people may well leave it until the last minute - it's not going to cost them any more, is it?

I hope the club have realised that there's not going to be the big spike in season ticket sales before Xmas this year given the price increase and lack of early bird.

In the past I'd have expected majority of season tickets to be sold in period before early bird deadline. With that not featuring this year I suspect club will see a steady amount of sales between now and start of season, with three spikes in sales. Week before seat renewal deadline/payment plan deadline, week before Xmas for people buying as presents (assuming tickets are available for collection before Xmas), and last week before season starts off those who want to keep money in their own account maximum amount of time.
Think we'll sell 3k without too much trouble. Whether we reach 4k target will depend on how preseason games go I think.

I will not renew until towards the beginning of the season, as there is no advantage to be had for renewing now. I suspect many more will do the same.

I imagine they won't be far off the 4000 mark come the start of the season.

I haven't seen your prices but if you miss a game, which is very likely due to the holiday periods, and you then lose out there is no incentive other than the Blackpool offer that most teams seem to be running.

There are some of us waiting for the seats to be released early next month..

On that day there will be three "returners" - who have been missing since McNamara plunged us into murky waters..

I also managed to convince another "returner" who did the same - he has bought three seats and also chucked some sponsorship in too!

Thats a grand total of six returners - one of which will be travelling from Kenilworth every week.

However, what we cannot tell is how many are walking away...

For me - Marc Green deserves support and I hope he gets it.

I think that's fair comment, in fact I alluded to the same further up the thread. Much is down to people's perception, and offering an 'early bird' set at the figure clubs were hoping to get [since the vast majority would buy at that price] and then putting it up to a higher price, seems to have been general practice for a few years. Offering a 'bargain' has always always been a good sales technique.

Even if it's actually a faux bargain. People tell me that when they do carboot sales they always have a box of broken utter crap because inexplicably people want to buy it. Random dolls legs, damaged betamax tapes.
