Season tickets 2023-24 - what could/should be offered ?

[Guest]

Season Ticket Estimate

Latest: 8,197 (+12)

Notes:

• The estimate is based upon the total number of saleable seats to home supporters (18,210), minus the amount of unavailable (sold) seats.
• (+xx) represents the difference in season ticket sales from the previous estimate (usually 24 hours).
• 159 seats in block W01 are marked as unavailable (sold), but are not saleable due to being cordoned-off. These are therefore excluded from the season ticket estimate.
• 376 seats for supporters requiring ground-level font-row access are marked as unavailable (sold), but appear to be block-reserved rather than fully sold. These are therefore excluded from the season ticket estimate.
• A seat is marked as unavailable for up to 28 minutes when added to the basket. It is not possible to exclude these from the estimate.

We’re miles ahead…

[Mattyblue]

Not sure that’s miles, but ahead all the same - though not necessarily comparing apples and apples as it was an earlier end to the early bird this time.

We had 8,779 sold last summer which feels to me a similar figure to what we’ll have this time too (we actually finished with 9,300 including half ST holders), alas treading water is the best it will be at these prices, even on the back of our best league position in a decade.

I was being somewhat facetious (not sure if there’s an emoji I could have used!)

[Mattyblue]

At least we’ve stopped going even further backwards, I suppose, after the nadir of 6,995 in 21/22.

Imagine being relived to be selling c8,800 STs as a top end Championship club 🤦‍♂️

So despite a price 'cut' we are going to struggle to match last seasons sales after spending all season in the top 6.

How Waggott or anyone else can be happy or comfortable with that I do not know.

we have sold more than we did last season unless you are using the overall sale figure from last season.

Why wouldn't I use the overall figure from last season?

Presumably you are quite happy with the 8000 rattling around Ewood and the 'efforts' made by the Club to increase it.

I'm not

of course I'm not happy and would have like to see Season tickets prices at least £100 cheaper than £379 that was the original price. I was against the price increase after the early bird offer. Some people are going through tough time financial at the minute and going to Ewood Park is their release for a couple of hours from that

The post that you quoted from last year had over 2,000 seats without true visibility, so I excluded them from that count. There were probably a couple of hundred or so.

Based on the average number of daily season ticket sales (currently 10) since I had reasonable visibility, the projected season ticket sales by the first day of the season would be 8,642.

If we end next season, like we have ended the last 2 seasons ( put up the white flag) it should be get in for nothing the last 2 months.

One of Chaddys most sensible posts from recent times.

100% agree

I'm sure we'll see a small spike in STs if JDT and Gregg carry on signing what looks like decent players who fit the system. 

9k is the dream.

Which in itself, is fucking pathetic for Blackburn Rovers. Waggott out!

I was being sarcastic, nobody wants Swag out more than me I can tell you.

We should be looking at ST sales of at least 13-14k.

But thanks to his 5-6 year tenure we don't grow our fanbase we lose longstanding fans and potential new generations. 

He infuriates me.

thanks for all the work you done in given us the number. I would expect a surge towards start of the season and people have had their summer holidays and want the Rovers fix

12k should be considered the absolute minimum.

You only have to sell four thousand as we all know 8k will buy them regardless.

Maggot is a lazy parasite.

Thanks as always The Burg'. Interesting to see a spike like that...
