We have 87 days for people to get their £50 deposits in to determine the price of the 2017/18 Season Tickets.
Average amount of daily sales required by 21st June to hit the targets:
2000 (£250): 23
2500 (£200): 29
3000 (£150): 35
4000 (£110): 46
Keeping a track of this really helped ramp up the interest when Hartlepool fans did it, so hopefully it'll have a similar effect. Debate the numbers here over the next week, then we can add the figures once sales commence. |  |

Until the season starts, I imagine. |
By my reckoning if price stays at £250 the £200 balance works out at around £2 a day to put by between now and the start of the season, less than a pint, coffee packet of death sticks etc etc. |  | | |

Isn't that what Hartlepool did, offer a maximum price of £150, and sales skyrocketed afterwards. |
Yep, but i think they did that at around the 2.5K mark.
Think an interim push will be needed to get to that mark myself.
It's like price drop tv |  |

The updates have become a bit sporadic again and it's been illustrated that hitting the next 100 or 50 mark has helped maintain interest. Even letting us know 1500 has almost been reached will help create momentum, however small/large that momentum may be. | |

How well are Sales Actually Going ?
It Was 1350 Last week So Where Are We Now
1500 ? More ? Less ?
As We're Now 6 Week in With 6 Week Left I Thought Sales Would be Around 2000. Hoping to Shift 3000 But Not Sure We'll Get There. |  | | |

At the awards event, I overheard someone from the club saying that several hundred Season tickets were "freebies" last year.
They hinted that the "real" number of full price season tickets sold was nearer to 1000 than the numbers reported by the Board. Add to this the £100 1/2 season tickets and the freebies, and you are around the figure reported by the Board.
This does make some sense... we appear to have stalled somewhat at around 1300 or so.
Those who didn't pay anything will not be keen on forking out anything next season. Some of the £100 tickets were given as gifts etc, and won't all be renewed.
On the flip side, I spoke to quite a few who would not buy last year due to the price rise (myself included) who have put down a deposit.
I'm hoping that the Kids ticket sales will start to pick up from now on which should boost numbers, if not revenue for the club. | | | |

Clubs like Hartlepool and Bratfut have very high gate prices. So if the club announce an pay-at-the-gate price of £25 i'd expect more people to buy... but not at £250. |  | | |

1500 in 45 days, still a decent average of 33 a day. | |

I suppose if you want to be a bit more precise and gauge sales since 2nd May (1350) and now (1500) it's working out at 18 per day. 41 more days at a similar rate will see us sell another 738 and will take us up near the 2500 mark. Hopefully the club will announce a price drop at 2000 instead of the original figure? Obviously there's no chance of the 4000 being done at the current rate. | |

Do we know yet what the pay on the gate prices are going to be next season? Will the club hike them up in the hope some more jump on the season ticket bandwagon?..... |  |

£22 and £20 to sit and have a decent view of the game is steep enough - putting the prices up isn't a good idea - in my opinion anyway. Even if the season ticket price stayed at £250 (which I don't think it will) it's roughly half the price of pay on the day - which is a fantastic saving. | |

History shows these clubs that do cheap deals do hike individual ticket prices. I remember being pissed off at paying £25 to get into Hartlepool. I suppose the thinking is ripping off the away fans and trying to push season ticket sales. | | | |

I wouldn't be shocked to see it increase, to cover some of the season ticket "losses" even if we get up to 2000 st and above |  | | |

I agree with DDB - it would be a mistake to increase prices at the gate on the basis of expecting casual fans to further subsidise season ticket holders. The last thing we want to do is alienate any casual fans - they are still contributing important funds and are potential future season ticket holders.
Its supposed to be Team Rochdale, not season ticket holder rochdale | | | |

Agree with both of you, it'd be another completely avoidable blunder to raise pay-at-the-gate prices |  |

Also agree but if they do put them up the bigger mistake would be not announcing them now while the season ticket offer is in 'full' swing.
Also if they put up pay on the day tickets hopefully they'll at least introduce family tickets and the like. | |

I think the reason match day prices will increase to say 25 pound is so that away fans can be charged accordingly ie the club cant price away fans more than home fans. Its unfortunate for the floating home fan but makes sound business sense. | |

Away fans are football fans. We charge £22 at present, there is no reason to raise this, new initiative or not.
A lot of the excellent publicity and well deserved plaudits for this have mentioned how Dale are trying to make football more affordable for supporters. This can't then be contradicted by making it less affordable for those who travel to support the away team. [Post edited 13 May 2017 17:58]

Precisely. It doesn't make good business sense and would result in a loss of income from both away fans and floating home fans; but more importantly, a loss of goodwill that the club simply can't afford | |

the club need to give regular updates on sales
if we don't get to 2500 (£200) I can see people letting their deposits go.
minimum target has to be 2500.
momentum ebbing away - just over a month left | |
