    Season tickets sales in the spfl

    http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/23512481

    Read this article and hadn't seen it posted elsewhere, anyone know if we're one of the 7 clubs whos sales have gone up? Thought our sales last season may have been swelled by the clamour for a cup final ticket anf as a result we may be down on last season..

    I would think we are. The season ticket launch was well received.

    We are one of those seven, yes, but I think it's only by a small amount.

    TBF, the ST sales for this season and last are skewed a bit by the fact you guaranteed a Cup Final ticket by buying one. Also, Hearts would have been massively down for this season had it not been for the begging bowl put out by BDO.


    Our ST sales should be OK for next season if we make the Cup Final again.

    I'd hazard a guess that it's Killie & Celtic with reduced sales.. I heard Celtic were struggling to keep the sales up earlier in the year and Killie fans have all that bother with their chairman?

    Think Celtic are one of the o e who went up as they cut prices by £100.

    I'm sure I read Dundee Utd have only sold 4000 down a few hundred from last season.

    That can't be true surely, beloved owner said that we were 400 up on this time last year a couple of weeks ago...

    Folk who bought a ST to get a ticket for last years cup final bought a ST for this year not last year, so our numbers would be up this year and not down .

    So does anyone know who the two that are down are? Maybe the Yams are one .

    Sure Celtic are the other which is probably the reason they are not breaking things down.

    Quite unbelievable that Donkey can come out with this when last year he was one of the most vocal armaggeddon spreaders.

    SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster points to Scotland enjoying the highest crowds per capita in Europe and is confident the league changes will provide a boost for domestic football.
    "There have been some difficult times but I think at times we do beat up on ourselves a bit too much," he told BBC Scotland.

    Would be fascinating to see how many we've sold in the past six days.

    Hadn't we sold over 8000 when the club made the 11000 sales target announcement on the official site? No doubt this was tongue in cheek in response to the Yams constant begging - but I did think we could sell over 9000.

    Celtic are quoted as saying sales have gone up on last year, apparently due to reducing prices.
    Anyone think theres good business sense in reducing the price per number of st's sold? Sure a club down south reduced the prices if they sold over 8k, 10k etc..

    Hibs were in two cup finals so it would make no effect on the comparison between last years season ticket numbers as opposed to this years.

    But we did better in the more recent cup final. Not only did we only concede three goals but we out sung the opposition.

    I have not paid much attention to the data for over-all bums on seats for a few years now, but was still a bit surprised at the fairly low figures for the likes of Aberdeen and Dundee Utd.

    Aberdeen: 9,563
    Celtic: 46,917
    Dundee United: 7,482
    Hibernian: 10,543
    Inverness Caledonian Thistle: 4,038
    Kilmarnock: 4,745
    Motherwell: 5,362
    Partick Thistle: 3,705 *
    Ross County: 4,343
    St Johnstone: 3,640
    St Mirren: 4,389
    Hearts: 13,163
