deasy92 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 For those who are interested, just looked on the online plan to purchase ST's for next season and added up the amount sold (as of 10:30) Holte – 7461 Trinity – 8644 North – 2797 Doug Ellis (Excl.Away blocks) – 3768 Total seats sold – 22,670 That's not bad considering we are only at the start of July - What do you's think?

SikhInTrinity Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Dependant on signings, I think that may got to about 24 to 26k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deasy92 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 That also doesnt include for the corporate areas & boxes which is included within overall ST figures. I worked backwards to see how many were sold, off the below figures. Holte- 5847/13308 Available Trinity- 2730/11374 Available North- 3390/6187 Available D.Ellis - excl.away 2194/5962 Available 14161/36831 Available = 22670 sold 36831 available seats through blocks visible online Incl. 3000 for away fans Incl. 2000 for corporate/boxes Hitting 42K full allocation.

CrackpotForeigner Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Very nice, but how does it compare with previous seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'd say 26k start of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaGoMarching Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'd love to see the figures from the last week of the season, and then the week after Lambert was appointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steell Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'd like to see what the equivalent figures are for other clubs. I know Brighton have sold 22k ST's which makes me think the Villa fan base is still quite fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 What matters more is the overall attendances and not the number of season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 What matters more is the overall attendances and not the number of season tickets. It is, but you don't really have to buy a season ticket. I live in London and go to about 10-12 games a season, it not worth my money to buy a season ticket, BUT if we were full every week and I had to buy a seasonticket or not go, I would have a season ticket.

avfc443 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We hit 20,000 last year, and that was well into August. I'd say we'll get at least 25,000 this year (we haven't had a marquee signing yet)- the good times are back at VP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'd love to see the figures from the last week of the season, and then the week after Lambert was appointed. Me too. I genuinely think we would have struggled to get more than 15k if McLeish was still in charge on the opening day of the new season. If Lambert brings us up to 25k then the appointment has almost paid for itself already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I think, like a few have said before me 23-25K season tickets sold by the time the season starts will be a good number. A lot of people I've spoken to seem to be thinking along the lines of buying a ticket on a match by match basis for the beginning of the season and seeing how we're getting on, until making a decision on whether to buy a half-season ticket when they come out. Lets hope we get a few thousand of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Swansea have sold 16000 season tickets the full allocation,however,the Liberty Stadium only holds 20000 so that's pretty good. plans are afoot to increase capacity to 32000 if the Swans stay in the PL for the next 2 seasons.

AndyHowell Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I haven't renewed yet — which must be the first time in 30 years or so! Lambert is a good signing — his team finished on the same points as Swansea with arguably poorer resrouces. But it's the owners that worry me. Will they support some proper investment in the squad. I keep seeing these comments about signing yougn players (cheap) and relying on our youth team (even cheaper). Does this mean the same as last season! I can't face another season of struggle and relegation fight — nothing I've seen so far really makes me feal optimistic. We'll sigh international players who will take 12 months to settle!
