smpar Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Anyone else think that season ticket sales are a bit concerning?I don’t know how other clubs are doing in comparison to recent seasons but as Rob says, shifting just under 2000 with about 6 weeks before the start of the season isn’t bad. In fact, last year we’d sold a ‘handful shy of 2000’ on the 28th June, which was just 5 weeks before the start of the league season. As the season approaches, hopefully with the prospect of being able to attend more games than expected, we’ll probably see a bit of a surge in sales. Add in the excitement of the takeover should boost interest a bit too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Those are good replies and make some good points. Think I was just expecting higher numbers but if folk can't get to games then aye, can see how that will affect folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it's down to mitigating circumstances..The support is still there. Lifeline has gone up in recent months. Many folk have job uncertainty and on top of that, we don't know how many games we will get to see. Many people will see pay as you go as more sensible option for them. Over 1900 is pretty good considering the current situation. Should be close to last seasons 2500 by kick off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we’d comfortably got over 3000 or am I going daft? ETA a quick search on twitter and it looks like you’re right. Looks like we did in 2018/19 but not last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were selling 3500 when we gave free kids tickets away two years ago. We stopped that last season and put prices up for adult tickets. The free kids tickets became a farce. Folk older than me were using them to get in free, it was wasn't getting policed properly. Became a total piss take.

Given the very real possibility that folks may not get to see any football live at all this season, the remarkable thing is that any have been sold at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you mean but sadly it's very unlikely we'll play in Europe again, especially since the best route of doing so (runner up in the Scottish Cup) has been taken away. I wouldn't like to have a more expensive and more restrictive standing area based on a very unlikely scenario that might never happen. It isn't pedantry at all. I would imagine that by the time we ever made it in to Europe the rules could very well have changed. I'd prefer 'safe standing' than all seater though. There is a 3rd European tournament earmarked to start next year, albeit who knows whether it will be delayed in light of the current circumstances. Scotland will get at least two - and possibly three - places, so it is likely that a top six spot will be enough to score two glorious days drinking and singing, with only the inconvenience of the match to partly spoil it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I haven't bought a season ticket this year for the first time since pre 2000.Lost £60 last season and can't afford to pay that kind of money when it could be zero attendance or even games stopped altogether.If I could pay a reduced rate to watch streams, maybe £10 per game, and options to watch away then I would pay for that to help the club out. May also attend sporadically for big home games once I feel that its safe. I'm pretty certain that there will be called off games, local lockdowns and major headaches. I want to help the club but I'm not going to pay for something that's not guaranteed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) How did you "lose" £60? Do you mean you bought a season ticket but didn't go to the games? I'm not exactly flush with cash but have NEVER considered my season ticket as value for money. Sounds like you were never going to buy one this season as you list loads of reason why not to. There are other ways to help the club. Edited September 6, 2020 by da_no_1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the pars as an endless charity money pit tbh.I've bought home and away kits and other stuff I dont feel bad about not buying a season ticket I've had one pretty much every year since I was five. My parents are vulnerable to corona and were shielded so I can't go with my dad until I know its safe.Dont take the moral highground when you spend most of your time online insulting and winding up pars fans. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I didn't word it well. Apologies. FWIW I'm in the same boat with my dad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely, as an infrequent attendee at East End Park for the past quarter of a century, I bought my first Pars' season ticket last month. Gotta help out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
