[Archived] Season Tickets 2008/2009

[Hughesy]

Anyone got any ideas on the actual figure sold so far? Think Lee would have this info??

[cn174]

Just seen on sky sports news that Spurs average season ticket price is £975!!!!! Some times I'm so glad I'm a Rovers fan!

My thoughts exactly. Interesting how Rovers' board can run a club without ripping off their fans, but Spuds dont seem able to. We'll be seeing all the same players as them next season, probably an overall superior quality of football, and hopefully finishing higher than them again. Ha!

More fools the spuds fans,if they are daft enough to pay it then you can`t blame the club for charging them.

p.s just seen the price for juniors £270-£305

Absolutely shocking...

[Hughesy]

Spurs also have the most expensive season ticket price. It was last season anyway so im sure it will be this season too!

[FourLaneBlue]

Out of interest...

Does anyone have what the final figure on season tickets sold last year was? Does it include half-season tickets as well?

[philipl]

A touch under 15,000 before the half season ticket sales started if I remember correctly.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

So an average of £51 a game to watch Spuds

VERY encouraging to hear JW state that demand has exceeded expectations so far with season ticket renewals/sales.

[1864roverite]

And some of our fans have the audacity to moan about home performances per money paid to watch !!!

if I was a YID I would be bloody well annoyed

[waggy]

spurs will have full houses every week,its called price and demand.we could knock £100 off our season tickets and still have 5000 empty seats,thats called life

Defintely waggy, but football is a captive market, they know a football club is not like a supermarket, you dont switch from one to another depending on price and are ripping their fans off accordingly

[1864roverite]

It might be life or a cash or price demand waggy, but with the fayre served uop by the Spurs outfit I would be choked to apy those prices.

Compared to Rovers they are a very very poor second

yeah, on BBC TV at 06.20 this morning they were saying one minute that Premiership Season Tickets were around £780 average, that working class fans and young people can't afford them, then they listed the biggest increases as:

Sunderland 22%

Pompey 17.5%

Rovers 13%

this is slack reporting...no mention of Rovers putting TV revenue into effectively subsidising ST's and no mention of our reduction last season and the freeze this year.

would it not have been nice to have stated the truth and what a fantastic job Rovers had done, especially given the depressed area that Blackburn with Darwen is.

[philipl]

Actually if anybody is there at Ewood Park, this is a great opportunity to get a retraction and more publicity off the BBC.

Certainly not in the close season. Disgraceful and vindictive / mischievous reporting all the same!

[RevidgeBlue]

Might be a good job we got all those "early birds" in, if as expected Bentley leaves, and then the unthinkable happens and Hughes and his backroom staff depart for Stamford Bridge.

Radio 5 had Niall Quinn on to respond to this 'issue' the BBC raised. He did a good job of shooting down the figures the journos had put together ref Sunderland (didn't sound too dissimilar a situation to ours with price freezes etc being ignored) to the extent I get the feeling we won't hear anything further on this 'report'.

I see the table that was on the article has been removed

[1864roverite]

Rovers hit back on The Official site

[Ewood Spark]

lazy journos regurgitate ticket price tosh

[philipl]

Not the most reliable source but this Sportingo writer reckons that 80% of last season's ST holders renewed under the Earlybird scheme.

yeah the figure was reported on the rovers website in the article in reply to the bbc price hike report

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Financial politics of the madhouse maybe but Huddersfield have apparently sold close to 16,000 season tickets (and rising) at 100 pound a throw.....huge increase in attendances for them next season!
