Season Ticket Sales Boost
Tuesday, 8th Aug 2017 14:28

Town added almost 1,000 to their season ticket sales total following the extension of the early bird deadline to last Friday.

We understand the number of Portman Road season ticket holders is now in the high 10,000s having dropped by around 15 per cent at time of the initial April early bird deadline to below 10,000 for the first time since promotion to the Premier League in 2000.

The club are also pleased with the reception their recently launched ticket bundle scheme has been received.

"In addition to that initiative the Blues cut the cheapest matchday ticket price to £25 and scrapped the additional £2.50 surcharge to fans paying on the gate on the day of a game.

The attendance at Saturday's 1-0 opening game victory against Birmingham was 18,153 - including 2,012 visiting fans and around 1,000 tickets given to NHS staff - up on the 17,370 which watched last year's 4-2 first day win against Barnsley.

thebeat added 21:14 - Aug 8 Swn98 the same "moaners" who cancelled their season tickets in the 1st place which forced the club into action hence the extra effort in the transfer market and the cheaper tickets, freebies etc, because they wouldn't have done jack if it hadn't been for us, you are very welcome...

Spanishblueblood added 22:28 - Aug 8 Correct 'thebeat' Evans knew something had to change, either back MM or get rid and he decided to loosen the purse strings a little. Had he not, attendances would drop further, therefore he was forced into action!

runningout added 10:07 - Aug 9 Not sure if I'm just greedy, after half decent start. But think fans could benefit more, and we still need extra investment in our club.
