Season Tickets

[andyd]

Just wondering after yesterday's announcement by Morecambe that they have sold over 2000 season ticket,s how our sales are going.

[VALAIRIAN]

Not as good as that I would think...........

We will struggle to hit 800, though we may hear a larger number............

[VALAIRIAN]

Not surprisingly, just tipped the 1000 mark - on Twitter

[VALAIRIAN]

Just noticed the pictures on Twitter and the cards are dated - 2023/24 - which makes me think that they will have to be replaced again next season...... not what we were told years ago......... !

Yes, I recall reading that the new plastic cards were going to be ‘rechargeable’ each season.
Maybe they can’t be without causing too many problems?

My take is that new cards, equals 'launch event', equals ££££££££

The Club is about making money these days and I do not think I am the only person who thinks it??

Talking of tickets this may be a question which Mark Turner can address I have a season ticket but this season on the ticket page you can only purchase online standing tickets, one of my son's who lives in Kirkham was going to surprise me Saturday and sit with me for the game unfortunately was unable to purchase. Not being critical or negative the only thing that seems to be pushed as a priority is " come in Coleys and spend " nowt wrong with that if it's what you want, but I presume any success on sales that increases revenue I hope a small part goes towards the players budget because at the end of the day that's what most of us care about and why we turn up.

Hi Val, I know where you are coming from but please consider 3 things.
1. We've just had a big drop in income following relegation.
2. The club is a business, like it or not, and if you stand still as a business you are not staying steady you are going backwards. The club must always try to increase its Income.
3. Sustainability means making a profit. Income must exceed expenditure year on year. Sustainability does not mean breaking even each year.

Very true and agree with every word but that doesn't excuse no explanation about being unable to buy seat tickets online and " cutting costs leaving out for the first time in my memory a little thank you for purchasing your season ticket " just stinks a bit of money above everything else including basic manner,s rant over I,m just interested in the team on the pitch .

Not disputing any of your points C.G., but there has to be a balance to everything

If we look around the world today, most scales have tipped too far and have 'over corrected'

Like Andy says, the team is most important

And beating Bradford tonight

Andy, going forward if your lad now knows the seat number next to you, he could next time ring the ticket office and book and pay for a ticket by phone then collect from the ticket office on the day of the game.

Could do but that doesn't answer why no seat sales online like last season with no notice or explanation by the club it's gone now let them do it their way.

[Crown Grounder]

Agree with you both Andyd/Val..........setting off to tonight's game in 10 minutes.

COME ON YOU REDS!

They went online on Friday once Season tickets had temporarily stopped. You can't sell Season Tickets when people are able to buy your seat. We do it every season.
