Super7 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 There is a huge advert for part season tickets on the official website - final nail in the coffin of the waiting list myth! Is it just us and our poor performances or as was suggested on the 3 legends tonight a general downturn in atendances in the Premiership - 3 Premiership crowds this weekend under 20,000? Suggested reasons ranged from Christmas to diving, overpaid Premiership players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the myth is exposed that you don't need a season ticket to see a game, and people know they will almost always be able to get tickets, they won't bother going to see less "attractive games" (bizarrely people would rather see us being humped by the likes of ManU). Unless we have a sustained improvement, things will get worse next year and it will hit our already poor financial system even more. There's also the problem of random kick off times and too many televised games - whether its Sky or some dodgy European or Arabic channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the problem of random kick off times and too many televised games - whether its Sky or some dodgy European or Arabic channel. Towards the end of last season, I made the point that I thought season tickets would be down due to the shite entertainment on offer. I can't recall who it was, but they said they knew of plenty people waiting to snap up the unsold season tickets and they would be all sold. Seems I won that argument!!! As you say, this time people will realise that they can get tickets as and when they desire, so season ticket sales will be well below 40,000 next season imo. Aaaaaand, as long as the club is in the Premiership, Portly Freddie wont be caring as the tv cash will be making the tills ring - thus allowing NUFC to manage the debt.

Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I might buy one for the shit seats for £170. Less than £20 a game and a good excuse to take lots of saturdays off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanzo 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 This isn't the first time we've done this though. They did it in 2001-2002 when we were doing very well and I first got my season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly Mackems 133 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Didn't the waiting list all but disappear with the extension? £40+ a ticket alongside the utter tripe that has been on show account for the gates dropping 4000 or so.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 There hasn't been a waiting list since we upgraded to 52,000. There are people who are on a mailing list who get sent a letter every summer asking them if they want a season ticket, but that's it. Also, I know lads who were on the waiting list, got a season ticket, and STILL get a letter every summer asking them if they want to buy a season ticket.

Renton 17726 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 At our "peak" it was difficult to get two cheap season tickets together, but that's about it. Doesn't stop people advocating we spend a fortune expanding the Gallowgate or even move to a new 250,000 seater stadium though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 There's a waiting list if you are after say, two tickets together in a specific part of the ground. That's it though. My mate turned up at the ticket office and bought one about 4 games in last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Shearer Is God 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 This isn't the first time we've done this though. They did it in 2001-2002 when we were doing very well and I first got my season ticket. They did it last season and the season before IIRC.
