Season Tickets

Really love to see after the news weve signed our number 1 target a massive show of force from the fans on the Season Ticket sales 531 was great last week but love to see another 1k snapped up now. I was going to wait until July but after todays news I intend to get my first Season ticket since Buckley was sacked on Friday and im putting my faith in Hurst to get it right next Season. The Club and fans have handled themselves in a way ive never seen since defeat to Bristol and to me everyone has adopted a positive roll the sleeves up attitude and this Club is only going one way UP .

The sooner the better. The sooner people see that we have shifted a lot of season tickets the more tempted they will be to get there's. If you haven't got yours yet then get down to BP in the morning and continue the positive feeling.

So gutted to have moved away from Grimsby this year, yeah my career is important but my love and passion for gtfc is getting stronger every time I hear some of this great positivity from all.

Wish I could buy a season ticket but think I will invest more to the transfer kitty 😉

Utm

I can see my grandkids and myself having to make a lot more trips home this season,

I hope there will be room for us.

I work shifts and need to work out how many games i would miss, obviously got to wait till fixtures are released for that

Agree Steve, it would be fantastic if the fans continued to show huge faith in PH & the club by buying season tickets in increasing numbers.

Let's see us pushing 3000 season ticket holders and those that can't get to as many games as work/ finances allow

Would love to get a season ticket. But unemployed and can't afford it.  

Any shop owners / store managers looking for staff? Been in and out of factory work (agency work), but also have lots of retail experience. Retail work is what I love doing (love meeting new people everyday and helping them, also not afraid of hard work - I take pride in what I do too). Agency work is just a "survival job", when I get work with them.
...Worth asking, never know who reads the fishy.    

But back to the subject, I have feeling we'll sell around 2,800 - 3,000... Is that too optimistic?

Good luck - hope there's someone on here who needs what you have to offer.

Thank you.  

I'm with cosy wish I lived closer


Swing time is looking for staff as is wellow pub up clee (noticed them both today advertising when I visited them)

been and bought my this morning till is certainly ringing my mate and I spent 1500 between us

Seen a few pics on twitter of people's tickets. Are they ready to collect now?

Give the ticket office a ring and they will check if yours is ready for collection. As soon as a new batch is delivered they are made out to the fans that have ordered them. I bought mine this morning and was told to wait for one or two weeks before ringing. Hope this helps.😐

me and my brother will be new season ticket holders this season.

Waiting until payday to get them

Great help thanks. Just picked mine up.

Anyone know how many we have sold up to now?

As sad as it is i check the website every day for an update in ST sales, i can't help it. Would be nice if they updated us every day even after a slow day (if there is such a thing atm!) apart from that buzzing and very happy with everything GTFC!

First season ticket for me. Will be stationed close to home for the first time in 4 years so going to treat myself

Ordered mine. First one since Buckley sacked too.

bump!

well? how many have we sold so far and how does it compare to last year?

this crowdfunder nonsense has ruined the annual season ticket sales thread!

Thinking about getting a season ticket. But, I will only be able to attend, at best, 10 of the games, so if I can't sell to a mate some of my tickets will be for sale for £15 (face value plus recorded delivery; though will probably be selling multiples at once). Will be in the Upper Findus.

I doubt I'll be able to make anywhere near all the games, but thought of it as donating to the cause.

I'm too skint to do that mate, unfortunately. But considering that and only managing to get to 3 home games last season, a guaranteed 23 games whether someone buys my ticket for the games I can't attend or not, will be a significant increase in my contribution.

The main thing is that everyone seems to be doing something.

Why would anyone buy for face value plus delivery when they could easy enough get one from the club?

Quoted from pizzzza

Maths not your forte?

Edit: Maths not 7 other people's fortes either!

Because it would be £3 cheaper for them. Not everyone is flush, so if someone sits in my seat or not the club are still getting £14 per game.. But like I say, I'm only thinking about it. If there wasn't anyone likely to buy the tickets I don't use then I will probably reconsider.

Just brought mine, even though I'll only be attending about half the games. Thourght I'd put money into the pot/donate that way rather than the crowdfunding. May way prob not the most VAT tax efficient way thou !

Official site says we have gone over £150k but i don't know if that is good or bad!?

Quoted from LondonMariner43

I think £100k was approx. 500 so probably 750ish now. Slowed down a bit but it's pay day soon.

Just got mine again, plus two more family members, both of who will struggle to see the majority of games due to work & School.

More cash to the club.

Can't wait for 8 August.

Wrexham have sold 2,200,

Come on lads we can beat that.

When you bought a season ticket it means for match days only,

It does not mean you can sit there all season.

Not really to do with us, but Bradfud have sold 15000

Gone up now £149

There'd be uproar on here with a 49% increase!

Adult season tickets have actually gone down by 25% and children under 11 go free (who are included in the stats I'm sure). Works out at £6.50 a game. I wonder how many we'd sell at those prices, 4-5k would be my guess.

Yeah but the important question is how many have we sold?

We need to know.

Good on Bradford. Obviously a club that puts its supporters first. £6.50 a match is unreal, I hope they do well and show the other clubs that you dont have to price the working classes out of the game to get success.

Quoted from ginnywings

It's the question we are all asking ginny. Shame on the club for not giving us the answers!

Guess Bradford will will be looking at the bigger picture too 15000 people will want food , beer and programmes all adds up !

WE are now halfway into the six week season ticket discount period and sales are still around £100,000 up on the same period last season.

We've now sold around 1100 season tickets, equating to nearly £230,000 in sales.

There are some similarities with us and Bradford.

We are both riding high after successful (bar the penalty shootout at Wembley) seasons and had a lot of fun along the way with sell out crowds and great atmospheres. I was at the Bradford v Sunderland game and the place was sold out and absolutely rocking.

Also we both have stadiums which typically have 1000s of empty seats for regular league games. Good on them for trying their best to fill it.

Just took nephew to buy our tickets and no matter how confusing we were the young lady that served us was very polite and helpful.

If our season tickets were £100 we would not sell 15,000,

Grimsby is a smaller place than Bradfud nether the less we have great fans,

BUT

In smaller numbers,

We have more than the scunts though.

I do think an offer such as getting your season ticket for the same price next season (in the league) would've been a good idea

All true

Apropos of nothing, Chester have sold a 1,000 season tickets. Seems a lot given their recent form.

Pete, your spelling's atrocious. There's no 'D' in Bratfut.

IMO the club have done well to get virtually a full squad together to start the first day of pre season together. Something we havent done in the past.

The fund raising may well have helped but now it is time to ensure the ticket office are worked to a standstill processing season ticket applications.

Last report was 1100 iirc, hopefully we can double that in a very short period of time?

If you can afford to do so, and will get to a fair few games, then now is the time to show further support to our team and players by purchasing that season ticket.

Lets hope we are 'rewarded' with a championship winning season!

Due to work commitments i always pay on the day to watch town and have done on and off for 35 years. My boss has now let me work the hours that allows me to buy a season ticket so i got my first one today. The guy behind me was also buying his first ever season ticket and he had followed town for about 30 years. We were both taken into the upper findus to choose our seats.
The ticket office was busy with fans buying tickets for wednesdays friendly against Cleethorpes Town.

Was in the ticket office at about 11:30 waiting to get my Derby ticket and there must have been 7 or 8 season tickets purchased whilst I was waiting in the queue.

1400 now sold! (900 last year!)

1400 Season Tickets have now been sold for the 2015/16 Season - that's 900 up on the same time last year.

That is £100,000 up on last year’s sales at the same point and is a fantastic on-going achievement from the fans.

Historically, with the last 2 ‘biggest weeks’ of sales remaining – after brisk business (£11,000) in the 3 hours the ticket office and club shop were open this morning the totals now stand at:

Receipts - £290,000 (last year £187,000)

Number Sold – 1400 (Last year 900)

New sales included – 270 (Last year 87)

So, 500 up in numbers on last season at this point. We are still aiming for at least 2,500 total sales & half a million in takings. #Incredible.

The ticket office is now closed until Monday morning but you can still reserve your seat online.

Great stuff, reckon we could top 2500 which is fantastic in this league.

It's quite possible that PH would have compiled two " wish lists " over the last month of the season. One for life in the League and another in view of another campaign non-league. Although you never know who will be retained by their respective clubs , it is still quite possible to do this. The way that PH signs some of these players indicates , to me anyway , that he is always planning ahead and very good at keeping his cards close to his chest.

That's great news,

With the quality signings Hurst has made I can see the total nearing the 3,000 mark,

I wish that I lived a bit closer to home and I would snap one up in a jiffy.

Big question is when will we find out if Kiddy away is all ticket and when can we get our sticky mitts
on the tickets....???

I really hope we get 2,500 but aslong as our attendances are up from last season weither that's through ST or on the day sales i don't mind. Usually i'd like to see more ST sales to help fund for a squad but we as fans have done that part ourselves with operation promotion! UTM.

Just collected my season tickets, plus 2 for Cleethorpes Town and 4 for Derby on Saturday.  A queue of 7 or 8.  Pretty busy.

My first ever pre-season games having only moved here recently so that's an extra £42 through the tills.

The kids don't know they are spending Saturday afternoon watching a friendly but I'm not worried so long as Mighty Mariner is in good form - the unsung hero for keeping our kids entertained on Saturday afternoons through the decades.

We got ours today, struggled to get anywhere near where we wanted to be. Hoping to be able to shift over after 31st July if some of last years aren't claimed.

Chap next to us trying to get a couple in the lower findus and it sounded like pretty slim pickings,

1760 sold to date

http://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/article/season-tickets-discount-set-to-end-2545906.aspx?

Excellen new and progress.  This represents an increase to date on last season that is closer to 40% than 30%.   Not having worked it out, it must therefore be over 35%!    

35.4% I believe.

they reckon we'll sell 800 in the next 4 days? God knows how but i hope it's true. UTM

No, they don't. The discounted period ends in 4 days, not sales completely.

Really wanna get one but the people I used to sit next to have moved away 😁

Up 100 on last season overall total already that's good going.

There you go  

Why don't they extend the deadline to meet the July payday, that will probably boost sales too. Got mine this week, can't wait for it to start now UTM

That's a gobsmacking number for this grade of football, especially when you consider the clubs in League 2 who struggle to get anywhere near that number for a home game?

£30,000 up on last season already, that's almost enough for the salary of a whole extra player!

Don't you start  . Either way, certainly a very welcome positive regarding finances.

Shall go and get mine tomorrow, so add another 1

30k up is hardly a huge increase, dont get me wrong its a great return but the way its being portrayed you'd think it was 100k.

Quoted from Meza

30k up is hardly a huge increase, dont get me wrong its a great return but the way its being portrayed you'd think it was 100k.

30k before the busiest period, so that will rise. They are expecting to sell about 400 more than last season, which is a significant percentage rise. All things are relative.

If we lose the first couple of games no doubt there will be some hardly used, one frustrated owner,  second hand ones going on e-bay  

Brilliant news.

2500 would be fantastic.

Not sure how much it will impact matchday gates if these new ST's are people who normally attend most games anyway, but still it's great to have people committing and putting money in the coffers early.

It's more than £30k mate. It's the money spent at games on drinks, programme etc too

It could make getting tickets for away games at some of the smaller grounds (Guiseley?) VERY interesting!!

Quoted from Meza

30k up is hardly a huge increase, dont get me wrong its a great return but the way its being portrayed you'd think it was 100k.

By the start of the season it could well be £100,000 so it is something to be proud of.

I really don't know what to do. Going to only make a handful of home games but desperately want the away tickets. Hmm

Ordered mine on line during the first week of sales but collected it this morning. Few in the queue buying their's sounded like they weren't all renewals too

Quoted from bradzmilne

I really don't know what to do. Going to only make a handful of home games but desperately want the away tickets. Hmm

Surely the answer is right in front of you; don't get one!  Don't be a martyr to the cause, we're all doing our best for the club, but if you can't make the home games then don't get one.

Quoted from bradzmilne

I really don't know what to do. Going to only make a handful of home games but desperately want the away tickets. Hmm

I share mine with my Bro. I say share, he doesn't pay for it, just uses it.

I use to work 3 out of 5 weekends, but still got a season ticket, even when I was working & living away.

Advantages of being able to get priority tickets a big bonus. Don't forget that all the money goes directly to the club, so it's also a way of donating to the cause.

If you can't get to a game you can always pass it on to encourage a potential new fan.
