Yes, but look at the price and compare it with what they have been charging in recent seasons.
They used to accept they.d have low numbers so charged a high price as possible to exploit the fans loyalty but now they've gone down the opposite route and are charging the minimum [ well almost minimum in that if a few more had signed up to sit the tickets would have been £25 cheaper] in the hope that combined with the novelty of promotion they'd sell considerably more which they appear to have done.
But Morecambe fans are suggesting that the figures include kids tickets sold at a very low price which have increased at a much higher rate than the adult sales and it's that that's accounting for much of the increase.
What is impressive tho is that they have sold out the premium seats with suite access and that's a not insignificant number of tickets at nearly 450 quid a go.
