My apologies I got it wrong :oops: and have since spoken to some helpful Bradford fans :thumbright:

So I have Updated & deleted

" How Bradford City are selling thousands of season tickets "

Bradford City in the lower divisions just under 12,000 have been sold so far :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
Their ground holds 25,000.

Info from Bradford City fans :thumbright:

The "early bird" offer has actually been reduced to £149 which I believe is the cheapest adult season ticket in the football league, this brings the adult price same as the concessions price which is a fantastic offer. Not to mention we have the flexi season ticket at £50 which will then gain you entry into league home games for £10 on the gate per game (no limit during the season), same seat guaranteed, so that allows some supporters to pick and choose their games.


Also this is something Bradford have been doing for a good few years, offering one of the lowest prices in the country, which is why we have been getting crowds of between 12000-15000 in League 2 and had some massive crowds past 2 seasons in League 1. This current price isn't a first attempt for us, we have been doing it for almost a decade now. We have the fan base to do the offer, some smaller clubs would struggle as you need to sell those extra tickets to compensate the price reduction.


Cardiff sold under 5,000 so far. Hopefully this drastically improves.

In the last few years weve had 18,500, 22,500 & 16,500 Season ticket holders.
Maybe Vincent Tans Circus has finally taken its toll.

Well done Bradford

I know a few who can't afford to go and
Walk up to their 10 + home games a season.
And could not afford a current ST.

I think something like this is a must

The 50 quid up front and a tenner a game is a brilliant idea. I wonder why nobody at our club has thought of it ?

When was the last time the club did anything innovative off the field? There's absolutely zero thought gone into increasing fan morale, atmosphere and match day experience. At times it has even felt like they've deliberately tried to dampen it.

As I live in belfast a season ticket would be wasted on me but the 50 quid upfront I'd go for straight away that's the kinda thing city should be running to attract ppl through the door

This :!: People talking about the difference in atmospheres between Wales and Cardiff but Wales actively encouraged the atmosphere, sold cheapish tickets and tried to make it a good day for all the fans. Cardiff couldn't give a f**k about how the home fans find the game. I'd definitely buy the £50 ticket, being in uni I can make the games at the start of the year, christmas, easter etc and some in the year so pointless buying a season ticket til next year
