You keep trying to make these comparisons but the 30 quid is only in the family area, which holds aprox only 800 and is now mostly full. The free to under 5s is again only in that area. Outside that 800 people area the prices are more and under 5's aren't free.Yours are only £30 up to 12 years old for kids & free under 5 ours are £130 for 12 year olds .
If u lot had sold that many ST we would never have heard the last of it.
Just admit your fans are jealous of our fans & every thing about our club .
Please can you now just admit Sadler your owner isn't your shinning armour .
Critchley was interviewed for the Rovers job before he chose Villa that shows how big you are .
Yeh but you'd be pretty pissed off if you were quoted t bone steak with all the trimmings and ended up with pie and chips, welcome to DeepdaleI don’t really care how many tickets PNE sell, but given the current economic climate, I believe we’ve made a mistake and misjudged our ST prices. At the very least we should be one of the cheaper prices. I applaud any efforts to grow a supporter base, so that includes PNE.

Tbf Neil is right and I said we should be one of the cheapest based on wealth in the area and the current times, but we do have fairly reasonable prices, especially in the family area for eg.Yeh but you'd be pretty pissed off if you were quoted t bone steak with all the trimmings and ended up with pie and chips, welcome to Deepdale
True though.Well that's a conversation killer
Obsessed and illiterate.Obsessed
If you've got the money. That's a fair amount.STs already done and bought Gers tickets, a scarf, a t shirt and a junior football kit, tangerine TV + Audio. Its easy when you know the
money will be put to good use.
By no means wealthy Voyeur but BFC my only vice these daysIf you've got the money. That's a fair amount.
All the same these Estate AgentsBy no means wealthy Voyeur but BFC my only vice these days
I would extend it until the beginning of the season ,nothing to lose ,maybe a few more season ticket holders to gain.If the club had any sense they would extend early bird until the Rangers game as I know a few coming up for that game - good match might inspire a few to purchase?
So an update since May 28th, nearly a month later...Just did a quick count on the seat planner.
Bear in mind, all ST's are reserved still, so some will come back on if and when they don't sell.
We also have the north seats now back in use so I've used a full stand capacity to calculate that, definitely saw some of them on sale and now all sold out, so either people have moved or new sales there.
Not sure if people do move if it undoes their old seat yet, so bear that in mind.
We also have the front row of the south not available, presumably disabled so am assuming that'll be sold out eventually, but they don't put on there so people don't take them?
Also m block is likely to have seats reserved for the hospitality people who get put there.
So this count will be over the actual amount even of we all renew.
But interesting nevertheless to see.
I count 1347 seats still available.
Minus off the N, N corner, west, S corner and south stand capacity of 10,519.
That leaves 9172 as unavailable.
But as said it will be less than that and far too many unknowns yet before we say for sure, but does seem to me it should be ahead of last year.
We sold 8k last season.I think we’ll be around the 6,500 mark. Down around 1,000 on last season.
Can blame many factors:
The price of living and football being a luxury
No payment plan EVERYONE can use, £369 a lot to go out in one chunk & Blackpool is a pretty deprived area
Fans discontent at rivals priced. They see Deepdale being £90 cheaper and feel hard done by. The fact is preston can afford to have cheap season tickets as their ground is too big for them and any lost revenue will be made up on match day revenue. Very clever marketing from
Ridsdale and co that should be applauded not mocked.
I’d extend it until the end of the season. I got mine opening day. I’m mad keen. Would be a shame if we lost the momentum from last season
At the least I'd want the same amount as last season and with the amount unavailable on the planner it would suggest we'd need an awful lot not to renew to fall below last season or get near athers prediction, unless the ticketing site is way off. We know it'll be less that the amount of seats unavailable, but that many....Surely the only people not renewing are people who’s personal circumstances have changed ? I would imagine we will be around the 8K mark again this season.
Afc flyde new moto....In my circle of friends & family I don't know anyone not renewing. Plus a lad I work with who borrowed my ST for one game has sacked of AFC Fylde & bought one of BFC. So that's one new fan.
He was paying £220 for his Fylde ST plus £100 per season for a parking space. So for a few quid more at early bird to see championship football rather than non league it was a no brainer. He loved the atmosphere in the North.Afc flyde new moto....
"Stop them leaving if you can"
Even with the uplift from new people and the young adult price?I think we will be about 1k down on last season...no new signings isnt helping at all
There’s nothing else to do on a Saturday in those shitholes thoughWe keep using “ deprived area”as an excuse.
Surely towns like Blackburn, Burnley, Bradford, Rotherham etc have similar problems too
There’s a few houses for sale at £10,000 in Burnley. Imo they’re overpriced.There’s nothing else to do on a Saturday in those shitholes though
Why would you leave it late and pay more? That strikes me as, pardon my bluntness, a bit thickWe shouldn’t judge too much by the June deadline day.
Many leave it until the week before season begins even though it will cost them extra.
We are funny creatures of habit and many don’t like parting with money until last minute or deciding on pre-season activity.

That's an interesting point. Unless we got some kind of dispensation to limit the number of visiting fans to below the required percentage during construction, there might even be a need to deny some ST holders a renewal and move some others to create a manageable space for visiting fans.If say we sell 10k season tickets, when the east stand gets developed will we stop away fans from attending games, there’ll be no where for them to sit ??
If they're clever with the building you might be able to do it in stages.If say we sell 10k season tickets, when the east stand gets developed will we stop away fans from attending games, there’ll be no where for them to sit ??
It's hilarious to think, when I read your excellent positive post, what absolute whoppers the Oystons were/are. What an absolute Horlicks they made of running BFC.STs already done and bought Gers tickets, a scarf, a t shirt and a junior football kit, tangerine TV + Audio. Its easy when you know the

Beginning to look like a poor year / perfect storm for ST sales.Several things will have impacted on sales. NC walking out, lack of excitement/activity in the transfer market, still to reveal 2022 kit, plus of course the fact that people are less well off than they were 12 months ago.
The atmosphere won’t change though, whatever the amount of STs sold.
Not too sure it will be poor, unless a load don't renew who did last year. But a small rise isn't much but imo sends the wrong message. Yes the club will be hit by higher costs too but so are the fans and many might have been close to not affording before. A freeze would be more marketable but a small reduction would have helped and sent out a message that the club knows the situation. From the club pov though they will say people want a competitive team that keeps progressing but its hard to get that with less money. Ita about finding that balance where the most renew and make the most money.Beginning to look like a poor year / perfect storm for ST sales.
You’ve got the high ST prices - a bad mistake imo. We should be one of the cheapest.
Malfunctioning website - unforgivable really.
Cost of living crisis.
A popular manager leaving / not a popular choice for his replacement.
Lack of any positive signings.
Can’t believe there’s not a payment plan. Even Karl recognised the benefit of one.
We’ve had the interesting TG & East Stand update, but that’s not going to make people rush out and buy ST’s.
Ticket Sales and the whole marketing piece that goes alongside seems to be an area that could perhaps be improved. Obviously we’re not clear on how ST sales are going at this stage, but it does seem like things have conspired against us this year.Whilst I agree with most of that, it just feels like the club haven’t pushed hard enough in resolving the affordability & website issues - all relatively easy to fix.
Yeah, I won't argue about it being cheaper, I've argued for such a model. In an area like Blackpool it should be cheaper but we also want to compete in the championship will be their thinking and not really able to make the most of a cheaper deal like pne with more space atm.Whilst I agree with most of that, it just feels like the club haven’t pushed hard enough in resolving the affordability & website issues - all relatively easy to fix.
