That is not counting the tickets for the 3rd and 4th stand in the grandstand as they are done through commercial department not the ticket office, where i am on the 4th there are around 3 thousand plus seats and its pretty full up there and apparently there are around 3000 on the 3rd most people in these stands renew asap always have done :thumbup:

the deadline last season was set at the day before the Reading game and I seem to remember 21k being announced..
in comparison 9k is dismal...just hope your correct about the 3k not included

Sadly true by many of our so called fans.

Unfortunately we do seem to have a fickle fan base who will show up with 32k when we're doing well yet if we're playing Luton Town next season it could be 14k.

I haven't yet purchased my season ticket because I'm uncomfortable with the people around me, new breed of "fan" who shout abusive obscenities at the players and fart a lot, not a fan of this behaviour in or out of the stadium.

Why not simply ask club if they have renued? If they have simply move bit further away :thumbup:

The swapping seats may be down to the fact that the online ticketing wasn't allowing a lot of current season ticket holders renew prior to the end of the early bird period and were unable to get through via the phone but when they went to the ticket office in person to resolve the issue were told their seats had been sold so were allocated elsewhere.

I was there around mid morning and was the only person in the ticket office.

Jeez, I hope you don’t move next to me with your obscene view of some of our players.

There's 7 in my group and none have renewed yet, they all will though watever division we are in.

The early bird offer is great and all kudos to the Club but for whatever reason it never really spurs our group on even though theres a strong chance we'll probably loose our seats.

I've renewed,but understand why people may not. The last couple of seasons in the Championship we've had about 4/5 games where tickets are available for a tenner, the flexi tickets are good value. Increasing number of games are moved, all mid week games will be live on sky and with a capacity of 33,000 you can almost guarantee a ticket for any game and for £20 or less if you buy in advance.

I totally agree with this and I can understand that if a fan knows they can't get to every game for whatever reason it's probably a cheaper option not to have a season ticket.

I renew mine in the knowledge that I'll probably only get to half the home games because I'm in exile. But I just like the security of the fact that any game I can make I will have my seat and be surrounded by friends.

There's always a mate, or family, in Bridgend who will use my ticket if I can't make it, I don't take payment for this as I am just happy that the seat has not gone to waste.

I think a few may be put off by the number of games we've had moved this season.
The uncertainty over kick off times may mean more people will buy flexi tickets and pick and choose.

if it was just ourselves it would be a genuine gripe but some clubs have had it even worse than ourselves.

i am more than a bit disappointed with the figure mentioned.. 300quid buys you 6 tickets in that poxy neutral end in fulham or a full season at the CCS and we sell 9k...?

dont have to be carol vodafone to figure out how they can spend more..

Get your knickers in a twist when the club officially announce figures at the moment your ranting about a figure " a woman at the ticket office said"
