How many we sold....

 

I still miss the old bloke with the coracle at Gay Meadow.

 

The club have given up doing ticket sale updates this season, which was especially useful when they didn't tell anyone the Huddersfield game was close to selling out, then had sold out, the other week - thankfully (or not, given the result) I managed to get a returned ticket.

 

The Ponty has sold out.

 

If I remember rightly tickets were available right up to the last couple of days. But went on general sale more than a week before. So hardly the clubs problem to let folk know until they sold out. I don't see the need personally to tell folk they are getting near to sell out for away games. I assume you took your chance based on whether you could make it. Or afford to pay for it. (But advance notice wouldn't help re the latter) You and everyone else have the opportunity to buy one earlier and return if you can't make it. ?

 

They may or may not say after tomorrow noon. But gone from All ticket to available to pay on day. I guess that's a home team tactic.

 

Sorry, Paul. I disagree with that.

I think regular ticket updates are both helpful for supporters AND good marketing by the club.

I remember reading a tonne of criticism a couple of years ago when we were giving almost daily updates, but we shifted more tickets.

You’ve to ignore the outside noise in my experience, and just rattle out content. Be constantly in the hearts and minds of the fanbase.

 

Maybe so but if wanting to go to the away game why wait till the nearly sold out sign. I'm not on about Home games Andy. Where I would agree. Marketing your own club. Fine.
Putting it in peoples minds regularly then matters. As for away does it fall into the same criteria. ?. They tell you when general sale starts. For anyone going to a limited ticket game that should be the defining moment. To get yer skates on.
