Sales have been very very poor so far. 15k looks a big ask. I’ve been told we’ve sold 14k so far. Good to see our fans are sticking with us in our current slump...... Only 2k fewer than our average attendance when we went up. I think it was pretty much nailed on that if we didn't go up this year we'd drop off attendance wise the year after. Sad as that is.

I have just tried and failed to renew online because of the excellent website. Had the same problems last year as well I can buy someone else's tickets but not mine. Strangely I can use any other website no problems but Stoke City's manages to defeat me. Are you trying to renew the same seat?

I've been told under 13k but that was yesterday. I just don't think that many fans our enjoying their day at the game. Sad times really, as I used to love going. We've slumped massively over 5 years.

I have renewed, but I'd just like to go on record and say it's because I'm absolutely fucking braindead. I’ve renewed for exactly the same reason.

Good to see our fans are sticking with us in our current slump...... 14k now should end up with something between 16 & 18k s/t holders? that's healthy isn't it? should still see average gates at 20000+ I was anticipating substantially less after this shite season

I have 3 and still undecided - it's definitely more a sense of duty and respect / friendship for my fellow sufferers around where we sit that's driving me above anything on the pitch or in the board room.
....and, 10 year "price freeze" notwithstanding, I still think there should be more financial incentive on STs - 3 for the price of 2 say or 5, 10 year loyalty discounts ....

There's always going to be last minute sales, and this year I suspect a few more might be sending a message by not renewing until the last day. The figures up until then are largely irrelevant.

Yes brilliant numbers considering, however a very clear message to the board. A drop on average of 5k from this season would represent a 25% decrease. May even raise questions of potentially having the south stand only for away fans. A drop of 9k from our last season in the prem would be 30%. An unfortunate but expected result of relegation.

I was expecting way below 15000 final sales this year Obviously we don't actually know yet but it's going to be much higher than 15000 by the looks of it. If we fail/struggle again then presumably would see another drop off. If we do well in/around play offs or better then half season s/t sales at Xmas should do well.

Around 21.5k I was told, there was a late surge when Rowett was appointed (bet they were glad they did that!)......

If we did between 18 and 20 k it would be remarkable and a tribute both to supporter loyalty and the club pricing policy. The match day experience as a whole has been grim for longer than I can remember - it goes far beyond the tripe being served up on the park. We have got to get it right next season.

I was guessing at attendance averages, but it holds firm on Season Ticket Sales from last year also. I think a good start and some exciting football will see casuals return and our Attendances rise from around 20-21k to 23k with maybe a surge of Half season tickets when we mount our exciting promotion push in 2020

I was 26th in a queue this morning when I was getting Blackburn tickets, some people always leave it until the last minute for season tickets especially when it falls just after payday. I was told we'd sold around 15.5k so far so I would expect it to be around 17k come tomorrow evening.....

I hope you do renew mate, but your choice. I can’t agree with your pricing comment for ST holders. The club have been brilliant in freezing prices for this long. There has to be a limit to what they can do. There may be a case for some further help with none ST fans, multi game packages etc, some of which they tried

I was number 5 in a queue at 10am today if that's any indicator of sales numbers.

The price freeze isn't as good as we all seem to think it is - a lot of Wolves' prices and breaks for some categories etc are much less than ours - so we're we just overpriced 11 seasons ago??? Plus Stoke have sneaked "premium seat" status into the Franklyn lower and charge more than we used to pay......

I sit in the Boothen and think £369 (might be less, I was drunk when I renewed!) is great value for money to be honest. I think they were dearer for one season in the championship but we had a price reduction? There will always be some clubs who are cheaper etc., but many are a lot who are dearer. I do agree we can be creative with deals etc., but I think they have done something this year on junior prices etc.?

The one thing I think we can’t criticize is season ticket prices, price freeze for so long is admirable

Well against all odds I actually renewed, I must be mental.. Fingers crossed the Management and Directors do the right thing over the Summer and sort this mess out!
Not holding my breath, but let's see!
