Was it ever announced how many season tickets were sold for this season?

No more than £300 for me. I cannot afford any more and also we have to face the fact we could be in League 1. It’s going to be a hard sell with lower league matches. Another issue is that for the past two seasons the club appealed to the fan base with decent managers in post which seemed to suggest stability only to then somehow lose both at a critical juncture in the season. I wonder how many season tickets would have been sold if supporters knew about the turbulence ahead?

Still can’t find out the number of season cards issued but for the Leeds game there was only 19,000 in the stadium. Subtract 2,200 away fans from that and that leaves about 16,800. I would say the lions share of those were season tickets. The owners are concerned about attendance figures I am certain of that which is understandable. But Town need a consistent approach, stability and some ambition, which I am sure the owners are trying to provide.

With League One football a very real possibility there had better be a very substantial early bird discount or they'll struggle to shift too many. Perhaps they'll throw in our League Cup game (one will cover the entire run), one FA Cup game (again one will suffice) and the Papa Johns Trophy games too that will garner little interest. |

I think if they put them up too much, they're in real danger of losing a good chunk of the fanbase. Especially if we go down.

But Town need a consistent approach, stability and some ambition, which I am sure the owners are trying to provide. This is what I wrote in a similar thread in August: "I've not seen this mentioned anywhere else, but after Saturday's 'gate' (tickets sold) of 19,541 and Leicester's away tickets being announced as 2,247, it would suggest that season cards + pay on the day + hospitality was 17,294.
No idea how many will have paid on the day, or how many are in hospitality, but it would suggest that we've sold between 16,000 & 17,000 season cards."So my guesstimate is the same as yours, but it would be nice to have this confirmed officially. |

At least £1000, and pensioners and kids to pay double not half.

After the absolute dross dished up on the pitch in the last 5 years with relegation escape after escape they will be out of their minds to increase it too much.

I can't remember how busy the Swimming Pool end (RIP) lower tier had, but none of those would have been season ticket holders...was it about 50% full, if so maybe knock 800 or so of that figure. |

All of these posts emphasise what a disaster relegation would be to the club. Some fans seem to want almost guaranteed winning football for their continued outlay. We're much more likely to get winning football in league 1 so you'd think they'd be keener to buy a SC if we go down. |

Kirklees are rumoured to be increasing the council tax by 5%, by your logic I would be entitled to ask Kirklees Council for 5% better in public services but I won't be getting it. Nagle needs to show the fans he is serious about moving this club forward before he starts hiking season tickets hugely. If he is expecting the fans to pay for squad rebuilding then he's in for a shock. |

KN shouldn't have bothered buying this club and instead gone for one completely on its arse or one that was already mildly successful. Reason being, that way they might have had some slight gratitude other than being constantly moaned at by some of the moaning pricks that support this club.
Lowest season ticket prices in the league and being whinged at because they might go up, just like every single other product in this country has over the last couple of years.
Some town fans need to have a good long look at themselves and consider supporting someone else because they do nothing other than bring everyone down.

Few people on an internet forum is not a representation of the entirety of our fanbase. Most know we would have to start paying more, like everything at the moment that is going up. We have a fair few moaners but it would be the same at any other club that were paying cheap season tickets for years before an increase. If we have less season tickets and we have a good year next season, plenty will pay on the gate which could end up with more income. |

That's true, however unfortunately they are the louder of the bunch. Entitled brats that expect to be challenging at the top of the table but balking at having to pay for it. |

Least entertainment for the last couple of years also. I think this should be a case of egg before chicken, Buy the players, improve the offering and then you stand a chance of putting up prices gradually in 12 months. I don't consider this years season ticket, good value.... It hasn't been. |

We're much more likely to get winning football in league 1 so you'd think they'd be keener to buy a SC if we go down. I remember that old chestnut when we were struggling in the Premier League. And it remains a truism. Compared to the final PL season, every year we've done better in terms of winning, losing, scoring and conceding, and season ticket sales remain at a similar level. It seems counter-intuitive, but speaking for myself, if relegation hadn't been such a certainty during that second season, I highly doubt I'd have renewed for a 3rd PL season, I bought because of the expectation and hope of seeing Championship football...and actually this tedious last few weeks of Saturday and Sunday lunchtime KO's for home games have reminded me a lot of why I started to lose interest, (NO home 3pm KO's between 17th of Feb and 6th of April is ludicrous). That the new deal means that less than 50% of home fixtures will be at 3pm on a Saturday already makes me less interested in next season in the Championship - my Sundays are already pretty full as are my Saturday mornings, and I'd be going from getting to about 20 home games a season down to maybe 8 or 9 if a couple of Sat 3pm's clash with the occasional other stuff - and then you think, "might as well just pay £25 on the day" - and instead of 8 or 9, it quickly becomes 5 games against teams I'm more interested in seeing us play, or simply not bothering. |

I think it's less tbh, our gate against PNE was 17,549 which included 1,134 away fans..leaving 16,415 home fans and that includes any pay on the day... so maybe nearer 16,300 ?? |
