NorthernLights24 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 No sign of the counter on the website like last season but apparently sales are up.SCOTLAND'S top-flight football clubs have been given a cash boost by an increase in season ticket sales.Figures were also up last season – as fans rallied to offset gate revenue lost by Rangers’ demotion to Division Three.With a week to go before the SPL kicks off, Aberdeen, Celtic, Hearts, Hibs and Partick Thistle all report increases on last year.Inverness CT, Ross County, St Johnstone and St Mirren said levels were much the same as last season.But the Paisley side expect to surge past last year’s figure as they will wait almost three weeks until their first home league game.Only Dundee United reported a decrease – although sales were at a record level last season with Dundee derbies played in the SPL for the first time in seven years. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/scotlands-top-flight-football-clubs-given-2097478 Link to comment
Foster14 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Slightly surprised at that. I'm -1 for a start, but hope I end up paying for every home game this season. Thought some would have waited to see how the season started after last season. Link to comment

Foster14 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Finished off in the 8k somewhere when they included half season tickets later on. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Simmons n Co have bought 2000 season tickets in the merkland for disadvantaged kids so we need to know if numbers quoted are discounting those or including those. 9-10k including those would be the target Link to comment

caledonia Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 -1 for me as i hate the league set up will go to some games but will go to highland league a lot more till we get out of 10 team set upboring as fuck (personal opinion so no arguments for/against this also what happened to the 11:1 vote being scrapped oh yes the whole league changes have been made to stop that happening anytime soonwhere are all the people who wrongly believed this would happen at a latter date never trust these fuckers one bit Link to comment
buchanskii Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Pretty cool that a company have bought 2000 tickets for underprivileged kids, strange how it's the first I've heard of it - would have thought it would have beeen in the news. Do U12's still get in for free if they are bought with an adult season ticket? Ultimately the only way to get season ticket sales up is with good performances on the park. 1 Link to comment

ChutneyLove Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The two season tickets I bought last season haven't been renewed. The folk I bought them for only went about 7 times, so not worth it. I might buy half season tickets at Christmas if things are going well. Link to comment
DandyDon KD Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Anyone know the latest on how the sales are going? BBC Sport website is claiming that half of the clubs in the Scottish Premiership has a rise in season ticket sales compared to last season. Link to comment

daytripping Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 My mate bought a ticket and got a free kids one for his daughter, he doesn't reckon she'll go to many games, what would be my chances of slipping in using the kids ticket, do they watch the gate? I'm a young looking 44. 3 Link to comment

Zerowasmyhero Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The last four posts are poor. Cheating the club of money. Bet you guys are the first to complain when the club dont resign a player because they want more money or there arent enough "big name" signings. 6 1 Link to comment
DandyDon KD Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Didn't you say in another thread that we'd sold over 15k?Aye that's for the Kilmarnock game. I was asking about season ticket sales. Sorry, probably didn't word it very well. Link to comment
