ladysaint Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 just wondering if we will be having a March Madness this year, I hope not March is going to be an expensive month without having to pay for your season tickets.
Sour Mash Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 Was thinking this as well, would have thought they'd be looking at releasing season ticket details fairly soon, as we know we'll be in League One next season. Know a lot of other clubs have released their details. Maybe having a Wembley game taking up all the ticket office time, they've decided to hold off until that is out of the way.
Jackie@home Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 Wouldn't be suprised if they release details directly after the Wembley final, when they hope to find us all in a positive mood about our team and ready to part with our cash after another pay day for many of us at the end of the month. I think David Luker will want to get Wembley done and dusted before starting on season tickets, if he is allowed to do so.
Window Cleaner Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 I would think our recent gates plus the earnings from our Wembley date might well mean that we don't need to be in such a rush to obtain the income from ST sales. Probably be announced towards the end of March though.

Probably be announced towards the end of March though. It would be interesting to know how much we actually stand to earn from the wembley final. If the final attendance is say 70,000 (45k saints + 25k carlisle) quite a bit of ticket revenue depending on percentage share. Televised game - usual a share of that. Additional merchandise sales, i see the foam hands , jester hats etc are on sale. £3 booking fees £25 healthy profit on the coaches. Presume they are still making a decision on moving the away fans for next season before releasing season ticket details.

I'm also interested to know how much Saints / Carlisle stand to make from the day. I know the winners pocket a cheque for £100k. If we can win the JPT, that would be an ideal time to roll out the "March/April Madness" straight afterwards with everyone on a high.
benjii Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 I'd be up for some "May Madness" this year please if you're reading Saints!
The9 Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 We didn't do it last season... I think we might find that flogging STs cheap, along with "discounting the old kit to £10" may be a thing of the past.

I'd be amazed if there wasn't some sort of incentive scheme and beleive you can buy some cheap shirts at the moment.

If we can win the JPT, that would be an ideal time to roll out the "March/April Madness" straight afterwards with everyone on a high. Just 100K ? just over half of the amount you get for winning in the 5th round of the FA cup and probably far less TV money to boot.No wonder clubs with serious league ambitions don't worry about not making the final. Probably get twice as much for the play-off final.
The9 Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 Wasn't last year due to administration? I'd be amazed if there wasn't some sort of incentive scheme and beleive you can buy some cheap shirts at the moment. You'd hope so. You can't buy any cheap kit, only training/leisure gear.
Scummer Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 clubs with serious league ambitions don't worry about not making the final. Says who? Leeds seemed to be trying pretty hard, and we knocked out all the decent southern clubs.
Gemmel Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 .No wonder clubs with serious league ambitions don't worry about not making the final. Forget your windows, you need to clean your glasses. Did you watch Leeds vs Carlise Did you watch Saints vs Norwich It looked like they took it very serioulsy to me

Did you watch Leeds vs Carlise Did you watch Saints vs Norwich It looked like they took it very serioulsy to me Did I say they didn't take it seriously? I said they didn't worry about not making the final...ie it wasn't the end of the world because the money isn't great. Still I expect Leeds are getting worried about their League form though.
solentsaint Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 What is March madness? Sounds pretty mad
SNOWY Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 The "Lets move the away fans" idea won't help with the planning. If they go ahead with that idea there will be alot of work involved with swapping seats etc. This will have to factored in to any schedule. I'd imagine we'll hear something shortly after the final tickets have all been allocated. my guess is that A) The away fans will remain where they are for next season B) season Ticket prices remain unchanged
Window Cleaner Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 What is March madness? Sounds pretty mad cheap STs for wedging up in March.
70's Mike Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 Do not think there will be any Madness this close season. Demand will be high without cut price deals
