WOW!! That surprises me....

Glad to say I'm in the 500 but despite missing very few games since the late 70's (I started in '68) I didn't have a regular season ticket until the early 90's wholly due to the nature of my work, which meant I worked many weekends....

Respect to the 70....

If we get to the promotion to the premier league this year the 10 who have had a season ticket every year since the seventys should get a free season ticket in honour of their loyalty to the club through the good and the bad days of being a bluebird

The sleeping giant is awakening slowly !! Theres a chap on th e train i know and he admitted his last season ticket was 1978 !! lol

I got my 1st season ticket 1999 season and renewed every year so im 1 of them 500

according to Julian Jenkins it is actually 357 in 2000...that information was made possible by new hardware/softwear that is being put into place shortly at the ticket office...this will then generate a lot more useful stats that will assist the club in a number of ways.

Once installed the club have promised to do a feature on the rise in season ticket holders in the club which should be interesting also the areas fans come from...this may also have changed over the years or at least increased or decreased in certain areas.

Before 2000 it is difficult for the club to collate records but they will have some idea of old season ticket numbers from memory like the 70 that Annis mentioned.

The real fact is that there was no great desire in those days to get a season ticket, most fans cherry picked games and went when they could knowing that with crowds less than 10,000 and often less than 5,000 there was never any fear of a sell out....it was just pay on the day in them days...no advance sales or very little, fans just turned up and paid to get in very few had season tickets or actually needed one.

The new computor equipment will show something like this

2000-2001 Season ticket holders 357 average home gate 7,692
2001-2002 ST holders 3,000 odd average home gate 12,522
2002-2003 st holders 4,000 plus average home gate 13,049
2003-2004 st holders 5,000 plus average home gate 15,569

etc etc etc

The above is just guess work but as you can see our season ticket holders would have increased every year and now stands at over 17,000 which is amazing when you consider that in 1986-87 our average home gate for the season was 2,856 and even as recent as 1997-98 was as low as 3,574...a point of interest is that our highest ever home average attendance for a whole season was 37,937 at Ninian Park back in 1952-53.

source mainly the official site.

Had my first season ticket boys five pound canton stand 71/2.

No ground season tickets then, did not get another till 75/6 when ground season tickets were
Introduced.
Been season ticket holder ever since, so I am one of the ten !
Don't know wether to laugh or cry !!!!

I am 1 of the 500 ( 357 ) along with another 3 of my mates ................... proud to be a Bluebird and be part of this rollercoaster ride

I bow to your tremendous support for our club, fair doos to you fella and I second what somebody wrote earlier that if we go up this season you and the 9 others should be presented with a free season ticket for next season

That is truely amazing. Big respect to those who have held a season ticket since the 1970's and I tip my hat to those who have held one for the past 10 years or so.

Like Corky said I was one of those who used to cherry pick games until I got my first season ticket in 2005 after the Black Thursday/Friday crisis.

annis how many shillings did your 1st seaon ticket cost an di bet you still have it in your office

My first seaon tickets cost me 8 grotes and a bag of barley, that's how old I am, mind you Daya still reckons I never seen a game before Sam came to the club.

annis how many shillings did your 1st seaon ticket cost an di bet you still have it in your office

i spent ten groats for my first season ticket the fifth one i got with my mothers green shield stamps

Corky, Carl was Not saying it was 500 in the year 2000, He is Saying an Average of 500. Also this was Said By Wayne Nash and Mona last Night at the Supporters meeting.
But glad to know I was one of the 357 Supporters and one of the 70

Baz at one stage for a School Kid it was Only £10 for a Season, without having to have an Adult with you.
It use to be 50p for Kids and Pensioners on match days

Tony, Who would of Ever thought We would of Had Over 17,000 SEASON TICKETS HOLDERS

I"m one of the 500,going since 1970 old tw*t

So lets Face Before the Year 2000, The sleeping Giant was in a DEEP COMA.
WE CAME ALIVE IN THE YEAR 2000

only 19 years old now and been renewing our season tickets since 98/99...doesnt matter how we do in the league....i'd be lost without cardiff playing everyweek

I'm the same as you Lewis. I'm one of the 357 and I'll keep going along no matter what. It's all about the craic of match day for me. The result is secondary!

annis how many shillings did your 1st seaon ticket cost an di bet you still have it in your office

So that's where the jacks get their ideas from is it - or are YOU a closet jack Steve

Glad to say I'm one of the 500, and for a long time before 2000 - I'm not one of the 70 though. But I did get my first S/T in the 70's - also had an identity card in the 70's lol.

I've only had a season ticket for about 4 years but had one for a few years in the 90's before having to move to Swindon with work and working most Saturdays it wasn't worth having one. I have got a season ticket book from 61-62 my great uncle gave me, he still goes but only a couple of times a season now due to money being a bit tight in his retirement.

thats the way zabier

Thats Exactly How I have ALWAYS BEEN, NOTHING WILL STOP ME ATTENDING THE MATCHES, NO MATTER HOW BAD THE RESULTS ARE

one of the ten is my old man and we met at a city match so i have a lot to thank them for and all i can say is we both live and breath cardiff city, but at the moment we are basking in 30 degree heat in koh samui so happy days !!
