saints_is_the_south Posted 15 July, 2013 Share Posted 15 July, 2013 Why are the club ceasing sales on Friday, a month before the season commences? They are missing out on a lot of people's July's pay days. I'm sure if it was extended until 1st August say, they'd shift another 500-1,000. I guess the club would rather people buying on a match by match basis as it works out dearer. Still seems odd to stop selling them so far in advance of the season starting.

Turkish Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 So 76% of tickets sold then. It seems that the excuses made by many not to attend in L1 and the championship are now a thing of the past. People must be so much more better off than in 2009-2012, the weather forecast for 2013/14 must be fantastic, no plans for any roadworks or train engineering works and no surprise birthday parties, weekends away or anniversaries for the whole of the season, which is good to hear.

The Kraken Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 Christ on a bike, if this is accurate we will have less than 4,000 tickets available for general sale? Though not all teams will sell out their full allocation so that may rise for those games. Its not exactly unknown for us to hit that figure. Take 2003/04; 23,000 season tickets sold. Then factor in the 3,500 for segregation/away fans, corporate fans must be around 2,000 - 3,000, plus comps and family tickets for staff; playing sides with full allocations with those numbers you're probably only looking at around 2,000, 3,000 max regular tickets actually on sale per match.

hutch Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 So capacity has already been increased to 60,000 then while nobody was looking.. You sneaky little devil Nicola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 16 July, 2013 Author Share Posted 16 July, 2013 So whats the maximum of ST's that we'll sell ? I wouldn't expect it would be much more than 23k. Anything more than that and we'll need a waiting list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything more than that and we'll need a waiting list! I doubt we'll ever know what the true level of season tickets sold is; they've never been revealed under the new regime and that probably won't change. But I doubt it'll be as high as that post-Cup final / pre-Europe level. Anything above 20K is very decent, at a complete guess I'd reckon on 21k or 22k.

On the plus side he'll have a nice bit of leg room and won't bash up his shins on the seat in front when celebrating a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDogMatt Posted 29 July, 2013 Share Posted 29 July, 2013 With Sunderland tickets on sale and doing a quick view each block it looks like we have sold close to 22k season tickets, this excludes block 43 though which is showing a small number available but I thought was all set aside for away fans, initially anyway Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I assume will take the ST sales over 22000. Really cannot get my head around how/ why block 2 is completely off limits on the online site? I'm a ST holder there and havn't got a clue who around me has renewed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally that would be balanced out by seats already showing as "sold", but are boxed off for comps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_TOAST Posted 29 July, 2013 Share Posted 29 July, 2013 pretty rubbish if that's all we sold...don't think we'll be needing to extend anytime soon shouldn't be any worries for people wanting to get tickets also as previously mentioned there might be problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
