Iirc they'd budgeted for 4K - should make that you'd think
Offline
Yeh 4k was the target
IMO they should have kept them at the early bird prices instead of increasing aould have sold more.

Could the failure to reach the expected 4000 target (and we are unlikely to reach it now given the lack of any meaningful saving now the early bird has ended) be the reason why the new signings have dried up?

Another 400 ST’s sold would be what 120k?
So 2/3 players, you could be right.
I suspect they thought there would be another couple out the door by now as well.

Got an email from the club today, as others would, as I've not renewed, stating that the early bird prices would still apply.

The only way we could have shifted 4000 season tickets was to install belief into a downbeat fan base with the exception of a few.
The way to do that was to mallet the clown of a manager that we have and install a manager who could lead us out of this league. Shitey soundbites like the United way won't and will not fool anyone only action will.
You can't come and say we won't be rewarding failure this season when the guy picking the team couldn't even finish us ahead of Livingston last season and we are keeping him on for this season.

They were foning people last week saying the same.
As i said previously they should have kept the prices at early bird instead of increasing last week. Announcing it properly instead of calling and emailing people.

Seen quite a few on social media say they had went and got them yesterday afternoon.
Be interesting to see how many they now sell.
A good thing to do would be to now lower the price to early bird and contact those that have bought since the rise and offer them the difference back.
Not exactly kicking on since ST's departure but I still reckon inflicted up to the 4k (just)

Think that’s the case - if you miss 1 game is it not cheaper just to pay at the gare

For EAST STAND lower its currently £355 for an adult season ticket. So, yes you are correct. Miss one game and its cheaper to pay in. 18 games =£360, 17 games =£340.
So there is no great incentive to buy one now.

I’m George fox but missed more than one game last season.
I was a bit torn this year - club needs the money but then they also have cash flow near the end of the season it would seem as that’s when we get soft loans
Not sure my £20 would help much at that point though!

I just dinnae get the 3 pricing levels. Have 2. They must realise folk will not buy at this stage if they know they are going to miss games.
