Even more than last season. Quietly stunned and delighted, add in the new funds from the corporate facilities and there will be some happy faces in the finance dept.

Ron’s target was 12500 this year ( that’s what he said at AGM ) so he wasn’t to far off with his prediction. Probably cause the walk ups are so dear that it’s beneficial to get a season ticket.

Pretty good effort when you look back at how last season played out. Hopefully we can kick on this season and improve , that will see us add more season ticket sales for next season. We are a couple of experienced and good quality players away from having a good side / squad .. Feel a lot more positive now than I was feeling around about April/may ..

Honestly thought we’d struggle to sell 5 figures after the end of last season. Hopefully an enjoyable season will build on those numbers next year.

Pretty decent effort all things concerned.

Hopefully we are rewarded with a good season.

Many such predictions of doom on here re season ticket numbers!

Good to see they were all wide of the mark and our support is a touch more faithful than some on .net would have you believe.

All things considered that's a pretty remarkable effort.

A good season could see us kick on next year, but I don't think it can be over estimated how much of a factor the cost of living crisis and especially energy costs could end up hurting any progress we make. If things don't improve in that area I can't see how it wont impact ST sales next season no matter how well we do in 22/23.

Support has been brilliant this season, home and away.

Team need to start winning now. If they do, that support will grow further.

Very good numbers , no doubt there will be some who will find a negative.
The thought of the team playing decent football encourages the fans to come.
While not winning last minute goals against the wee and big huns sends the fans home reasonably happy

Amazing stuff. Stadium looking great too, a wee bit of consistency on the park and we're definitely getting there

Incredible after the **** show of last season and the cost of living. Once we gel and people see the style of football LJ plays then there will be more people wanting to come and see us.

Great figure.

The support really deserve credit in what is a horrendous financial climate.

In previous years coming off the back of a crap season would see us drop to ST figures of between 8 and 9K. Going back not too much further a crap season could see us pulling in crowds of low 4 figures for some games albeit that was in the days before STs were as widespread as they are now.

I think these sales are evidence that our hardcore support that buys regardless of the performance of the previous season is now a good bit higher than it was only 7 or 8 years ago. Hopefully it's the case that a lot more people are back in the habit.

Well done to everyone who bought an ST thus season. Can honestly say that four games in I am really enjoying football again. Thankfully I missed all the LC games and Livi but St Johnstone away and the huns and diet huns at home have been great. Hopefully we can keep it up and improve some more. ER is looking at her very best at the moment as well and the atmosphere at the hearts and hun games was excellent.

That is by design though. Will allow for cash to come in quicker (or at least know when it's coming in due to payment plans etc) which can be released for player purchases/wages. Also allows the numbers guys (like myself) forecast income better as you're not relying on x amount of walk-ups per week.

Very rarely do the fans not turn up. Great numbers for ST’s after last season and the pressure on peoples finances.

Now for the team/club to pay the fans back for that support.

The signings of Boyle, Youan & Cabraja will have helped, in the here & now

The (relatively pricey) development team signings will not have

Incredible sales numbers given the antics of last season and uncertainty in LJ, new players and obvious weaknesses yet to be addressed. Full credit to all who renewed.
