Jambo 4 Ever Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Should be easy to set up i stand by my suggestion that as an incentive to return a season ticket seat when you can’t make it, if the club manage to resell it, then the person gets £5 voucher for the club shop or £5 towards their next season ticket a win win Edited September 23, 2021 by Jambo 4 Ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very top row of the Gorgie for the views Surprised even got 6 seats together tbh, althouth the Roseburn would have had loads. Last game for a while due to being unvaccinated (not getting into the debate), which is really gutting but understandable if that is the rules, then that is the rules. Will still be supporting the club through the FoH in the meantime, and will have my plaque on the wall soon that my Mrs got me for my birthday. Hopefully back to winning ways on Saturday. Likewise for me and my son, sad state of affairs but hey ho, will continue to visit the wee teams like we did at county last Saturday.

Swathes of unsold hospitality, loads of seats where season ticket holders can’t make it. once upon a time, when 23000 or 5264 was in the stadium you could rest assured that was the number of people attending IMO. kudos to those doing the dot count but, what a waste of time.

It's all guesswork up to an extent, but trying to find a figure based on previous sales for the Aberdeen game, and working on the basis that Livingston will probably only bring at best 200 through for the game, I would think if we sell around 300 today we would end up at around 16,000.

Perhaps, but in the era of all-ticket games with a much high proportion of season ticket holders, I don't think the number of clicks at the turnstyle are as important to clubs as the number of tickets bought or distributed (or given away in the case of some clubs) for a game. Whether everyone can use the ticket that they've bought or been issued with is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JALBO Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 538 left. Again, a number of seats have popped up this morning which appears to be unused season tickets released back for sale. It may not seem like much, but I reckon about 50 seats have popped up during the course of the week in this way - over a season, and particuarly when games are sold out, that's good money for the club. I'll do a final final count at 1.30pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 It would nice to grow the support in a sustainable way by a solid 3 or 4 thousand. But if someone had told me when I was a kid, we'd have been getting 15-16 thousand for run of the mill games against teams without an away support, I wouldn't have believed it.

But, based as best I can on what we can see, I think we'll be very close to 16,000 - either a little under or a little over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
