Indeed, when you have 20k ST holders you would expect a fairly high figure of non renewals, as a decent number of that 20k won’t be particularly fanatical.

However, at the sales we are at now, you’d expect the drop off rate each summer to get lower as a percentage of the total figure as it’s only the hardcore left…

I doubt it but we’ll see. Waggot has still had a nightmare! New manager bounce etc. but opportunity missed!

[Wheelton Blue]

I wonder if Waggott has taken the time and trouble to reach out to the missing 1,000? To speak to his customers and do some research, perhaps? See what he can do to encourage them to sign up?

Probably not.

After all, he's met his financial target so he can rest easy.

I can tell you that nobody from the club has from the half dozen or so I know that haven’t renewed the past couple of years…

[Wheelton Blue]

That's pathetic of the club.

I noticed Swag reported a 'significant spike' in Young Adult season tickets which is great. If he dug deeper he would know that lots in that category have more disposable income than the majority of others. He said he understands the socio economic situation but that doesn't seem to have deterred him from isolating many who simply can't afford them.

They do all they can though…

as someone who hasn't renewed this year (cost), i find it absolutely staggering i haven't had an email, a letter, a phone call, a text, anything, to ask why that is! nothing about what they can do to change that or to even just try to convince me to pick one up! baffling!

After we got conflicting information about the seat deadline and told we could have our old seats back, then we couldn’t, the club promised to get in touch about alternative options.

In fairness they did try ringing once but then didn’t answer or return calls on the number provided, the realisation for me is now we are going into a season and for the first time in years I’m a lapsed season ticket holder!

Looking at the current QPR ticket sales on the map says otherwise. 

Looking like 14-15k Inc QPR fans (1.5)

If I was to take a wild guess, the reason no-one at the Rovers are worried about non-renewals is because, Waggot has reached his target, which is in £'s rather than people.

We are still a few thousand behind PNE on ST sales though.
That buck stops with Waggot! Zero imagination……we went with the “One of our own” and then went on to give away 2 of our own! 😂🙈

[Mattyblue]

There will be a decent gate tomorrow, new era, first game etc.

But when things settle down, you obviously won’t be seeing crowds much more than 12k for a standard game, the way it is when you’ve only just scraped past 8k ST holders…

Firstly, I don't get why people like yourself are obsess what our ST sales are compare to PNE or other NW teams. 

If you look at Seat map for BBE for tomorrow there isn't many spare seats after the first few rows. I stand by my opinion we see 14k plus on tomorrow plus more Corporate seats sold than last season

Because its in a similar location and shows a huge difference in sales which isnt a coincedence considering the much cheaper prices.

Do you think 8k season tickets is good or bad?

[Mattyblue]

‘I will stand by my opinion’… hmm, pretty sure anybody could work that out by looking at the planner.

But fair play for sticking your neck out 😀

That should be the bare minimum every game, not for the season opener.

Because we have very similar size catchment areas, larger in some cases, and historically have outsold them for decades.

Lets see what the final figure is first. I think it will be closer to 9k IMO. It is much better already than last season season ticket sales at the start of the season.

Still piss poor and could be rectified with reasonable pricing.

Well not based on last ST sales at the start of the season

If that is how low your benchmark is then perhaps.

Last seasons ticket prices where overpriced, and we had Mowbray as well.
