davemclaren Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yep you just need to look back to the 2005/06 season as proof Not convinced. Many reluctant purchasors would have factored in we would improve this season. A Burley type team would add more but regardless of manager that isn't happening.

McCrae Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 If we were not completely pish then we'd get more fans.. It's a safe assumption If only it was that simple.... past history shows that even after success we don't get a massive jump in season ticket sales. If I remember correctly season ticket sales were stable after our 2006 and 15 cup wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Given we are close to record season ticket sales I would have thought it was a good news story not at all as some are trying to treat the figures Another example of an issue being used to try and beat the club with by some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the outset I thought we would not match last season's total, purely from the position that people who bought STs to guarantee a seat last season and season before would be counting on a greater stadium capacity to pick up tickets game by game. I will be happy to be proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydug Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 These are great figures when taking the circumstances into consideration. While I don't think the ST sales will be improved a positive start to the league campaign would increase walk up sales. A full or near full stadium for the Aberdeen game would likely keep the OF at two sections for their first visits to Tynecastle at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Can you set aside your hatred of the old firm and answer the post. Or, replace old firm with the Manchester teams or Liverpool/Everton, What post? The of, imo aren't ambassadors for anything to do with fans.

Hackney Hearts Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 If I remember correctly season ticket sales were stable after our 2006 and 15 cup wins. Wasn't 2006 when we had our oft-quoted 20,000+ waiting list for STs? And did we really have 15 cup wins?? Don't think you've remembered that correctly, sadly. After the 5-1 cup win in 2012, the club was about to go into meltdown - and figures held up remarkably well, considering our prospects for the season (we finished 10th).

pablo Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 There was never a waiting list for season tickets to bring the total up to 19k in my opinion. There was barely a straight word coming out of the club at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt. Aldo Raine Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 It was a deceptive statement by the club yesterday. The fact is, we have sold a few hundred less than last season and won't be getting near 14,000. It is already inevitable that this season is going to be just as big a disaster as the last. Thankfully, I stuck to my guns by not renewing as I saw this happening a mile off, but I do feel for those who have forked out for Budge and Levein's vanity project.

CJGJ Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Aberdeen manager makes plea for his fans to buy more season tickets and makes reference to us and the FOH Season ticket sales have already exceeded the 10,000 mark but McInnes has urged more to sign up to make Pittodrie a fortress and also boost his budget. Aberdeen kick off the Premiership campaign with a home clash against Hamilton at Pittodrie on Sunday August 6. Writing on the Aberdeen website, McInnes said: ?On Thursday night I felt our club was at its best, with the players and 20,000 Dons fans as one trying to get the result. ?When you see an atmosphere like that you want it to be more like that all the time. ?The atmosphere lifted our players, it intimidated the opposition and, of course it also generated additional income for the Club to enable me to reinvest in the football operation. ?Myself, the management team and the players are really excited about the new league campaign which promises to be highly competitive. ?For example, Hearts and Hibs fans have rallied to the cause with excellent season ticket sales, and in Hearts case their foundation donates significant additional investment. https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/aberdeen-fc/dons-boss-makes-personal-plea-fans-buy-season-tickets1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The 15 sold must have been before 3pm as I doubt very much any will be sold from now.... I think we can say now that the home end at most games will have around 14k, down from the 15k plus of the last few seasons. The walk up numbers are sure to take a hit with the clubs seemingly blind faith in a lame duck coach. Things will take an upturn after he is gone but STs will be static from now on.

Agree, certainly not doing anything to entice the walk ups which will fluctuate based on our week to week performances. The ongoing silence however shows the lack of respect Ann has for fans. Sacking him instantly after the game would not have been a knee jerk reaction however 48 hrs on and not a peep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section Q Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Like a lot of fans I deliberated over renewing towards the end of last season, and I know a few who didn't bother because of atmoshere/uncertainty/Cathro etc. An inspired appointment might pay off with a few more tickets sold. An extra 500 tickets at around ?300 each would be a nice boost to the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than people trying to be smart arses and hanging on every word , if folk bothered to look at dates they'd see that 12 days between just releasing tickets and my comment on 4000 up to 10000. Am I surprised that we have sold nearly 14000? Absolutely but delighted at the same time. Hopefully more to follow with the appointment of someone that can unite players and fans alike.

An extra 500 tickets at around ?300 each would be a nice boost to the budget. As someone who had a season ticket for years , then lapsed due to work commitments i have been sitting on the sidelines while the cathro project ran its course. As I can now attend Saturday games again I had decided to pay as you go meantime. This could change with a proper man manager who could squeeze every last bit of effort out of the team. Plus someone who could put those leith twats back in their box on a regular basis. Not important to everyone but it is to me. A decent appointment and I would buy a season ticket like a shot. Another experiment and I will pay as you go. Over to the board .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
