Season tickets 2022/23

[roversfan99]

Embarrassing sales yet again, you would think that consistently poor sales would lead to some responsibility and Waggott getting his P45, alas no under these disinterested owners. At least he can charm people.

I actually cannot wait to hear his response after Glenn tackles him on this matter in the next meeting in September.

[Mattyblue]

He’ll just come out with a load of corporate claptrap like ‘revenue quantums’.

Looking for some advice - not season tickets related but match tickets related. I'm trying to buy 2 match tickets for the QPR game - 1 adult & 1 under 12 ticket. When I go to my basket, the under 12 ticket is assigned to me, so it brings up an error message. I've managed to change to name to my son's name, but I still receive an error message as it's telling me I need to input his date of birth on his account - but he hasn't got an account set up. And when I try and set up an account for him, it won't let me do it as I'm trying to use the same email address as mine. 

Not sure if something has changed as I didn't have this issue last season. Has anyone encountered this and am I just being a bit slow?

Only advice I would give is ring the club on Monday and never try to navigate the Rovers ticket site again.

There seem to have been several different problems with the online system so far. I gave up trying to buy my Celtic tickets online and simply rang the ticket office and did it over the phone. They are quite helpful there, so probably easier to do the same mate.

Last season there was a change in buying tickets for Juniors, due to people buying Junior tickets falsely.

Can only be bought by ringing Ticket Office.

He's a failure but still manages to raise the prices enough to cover his wages despite the declining crowds.

Still, as long as he does his snake oil job on those who look into his eyes all is well, it really isn't.

He looks scruffy, needs a shave, hair cut and generally looks like he couldn't care less what he looks like....he has a similar attitude to the grounds and maintenance at Ewood and Brockall.  Like a Boris type character

I had a similar problem creating an account for my granddaughter to buy her season ticket. Because I used my email address to create her account it wouldn't let me set it up as I simply wanted to link my account to her new one. The system they have apparently doesn't allow two accounts with the same email. I actually ended up driving down and doing the transaction over the counter. By the way she is ten and her mum, quite rightly doesn't want her to have an email address.

Yeah Boris type character is a good point in how he comes across and like him he isn't really a leader just a middleman.

I'm a senior but I buy a ticket for my daughter an adult I effectively have two tickets in my name not been a problem to date

Had a similar issue a few years ago when trying to set up my daughter's account. I just created another Gmail account & used that. Wasn't an issue after that. 

She's now 17 so I just updated her details once she got her own email.

Hull City sold over 14k now, probably similar gates to us last season.

Is there a board of directors anywhere in this league that are as behind the curve as ours ?

Another ticketing classic. The official site advertises that tickets are on sale for the WBA game at Ewood. When you follow the link they are not available.

Now is the time for a ST sale check @goozburger

[tomphil]

Is it worth bothering considering an official number has been put out ?

It isn't going to change much now sadly.

The next Fans Forum in September will give the final figure, we will probably have scraped over 8,000 by then 🎉

By signing the likes of JPVH, Styles and Bowler you'd like think that figure would be boosted somewhat. 

No doubt they'll do the usual after the first couple games by deductions to purchase a ST..

[Sweaty Gussets]

13,000 x £280 = £3.64m (PNE)

7,800 x £399 = £3.11m (Rovers)

Quantum of Incompetence. (sounds like the next Bond movie)

Yeah but "inflationary pressures" and FFP rules (says Waggott)

As stated in the FF minutes 7,800 STs = £2.25m, not £3.11m. PNE’s number will also be much less than £3.64m. You’re just taking a headline figure and not accounting for concessions.

[Mattyblue]

Yes plenty of concessions, but on the flip side, a good proportion of tickets were also on sale for far more than £399. For a mid table second division club, in a cost of living crisis, with 20,000 empty seats to play with.

It’s quantum, baby!

Surely the far more pertinent figure, which the FF SHOULD be grilling the Club about, is how the hell Preston have managed to sell over 50% more season tickets than us?

I've not read the most recent FF minutes so apologies if the Club were given a hard time on the ST pricing.

Edit: And they didn't have the attraction of a new manager to boost sales either!
