Agree with all off that. I think you might sell a few more than that though. I was reading an article about season ticket sales at football clubs recently (the focus was on clubs outside the top flight) and apparently people tend to underestimate the amount of churn - people moving in and out of the area, getting too old/becoming old enough, losing/taking interest. Was the discount period only for renewals?



I've found seeing the pattern of sales quite an interesting 'experiment'. The idea of the milestone prize draws, which I had thought a very clever idea for getting people to buy early and build momentum, didn't really seem to work. Decent enough prizes, but longish odds and I guess either consciously or subconsciously people saw that and it didn't change much.

I agree with that, things like having a meal with Bomber ain't going to encourage sales imo, however had we secured the services of a good number 7 I consider we would have sold more.

I think if we start the campaign well our attendances will gradually increase, & if we have a good season (better than last) we may see a rise in people prepared to commit to buying a pass.



I do believe it is important that the club reconsider the deadline next time and move it back to Dec 31st.

A variation that maybe could work, in an everyone's a winner is a sort of way, is a 10k = 10% discount for everybody deal. There are one or two possible awkaward outcomes, but as long as they were planned for, that'd be fine.



In fairness, a free night in McRae's diary is going to be easier to find than a good 7 and even a slap up meal will be ~0.1% of the price.



Any business finds it easier to get custom in good times - which unfortunately these are not. [uIMO[/u, that isn't just the biggest factor, but it is probably bigger than all the rest combined.

after reading the posts after mine, and now that im better informed as to other top teams pass sales. i think it would be fair to say ive definitely over estimated that we could have reached 10k by xmas, and also that ive underestimated how significant the recession has been

However the labour party didnt run those countries although having seen the mess they are all in i think Blair may have had a hand in somewhere



Clever backpeddling isn't going to compensate for having once had a clueless to$$er in charge of the economy for a long time. Ordinary folk are getting poorer because they are having to pay for previous governments incredible mistakes - it's what Tories do...

by the way i am neither red or blue but can see the mess for what it is rather than the usual Hull blindly following labour party regardless of their performance routine....

John Prescott dont you labourites just miss him

so the previous years under Labour were a major sucess then ,



I was actually backing up your comment if you read the full thread.

agreed matey!!!

Anybody know what happens when you've fully paid by direct debit? Do they post the pass or does it have to be collected?

Asked this question yesterday whilst getting tickets for friendlies and was informed that they are available for collection at the end of January once the final DD has been debited (for those who applied in Sept), didn't ask whether it could be posted.

I was in the first tranche and it was as easy as phoning up and asking for them to be sent for £2 as I was out of town. The VERY helpful lady posted them the same day and they were at my house 24 hours later - if you're collecting I would assume it's even easier.

7965 now - might get to 8000 today
