Calypso Kid Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I bought a house in 2006. CANNOT BELIEVE the estate agent hasn't e-mailed me about buying it again. Sack the Board. That's a really shit analogy, sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheerLambRule Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Indeed. One of the worst I've ever seen. Between this and the "SHE KEEPS THEM FROM YOU'' verge of tears meltdown in the council theft thread, I think it's time he hung up his boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Don't understand the references to Dumbarton other than they are HSFs wee team. I expect saints will end with an increase in season tickets of about 30/40% which is good but will still represent less than 20% of the total that went to Hampden. Could we be doing more to increase sales?? Possibly. If we do have the contact details for everyone that bought a cup final ticket but would they get a return on the £8000 plus in postage alone not to mention staff costs printing that it would cost to put a letter or mail shot out to everyone.

Sending out actual letters would obviously not be worth it as you say, but is it that much of a stretch to send out an email? I'm sure they'll send something out soon. Hopefully we do see a decent increase, especially in the family stand as I think that's where we'll see a long term gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYellowBox Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 To be fair, it is a big jump from being an occasional fan to having a season ticket. A 20% increase would be a decent effort in my opinion. What I would like to see is a noticeable increase in the pay at gate numbers. Maybe someone who went to 10 games a season now going to 15, 5 to 10 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Kyle but did the Club take an email address from all of those that they sold tickets to?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Bru Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 According to today's Sun, Dumbarton have sold 2,020 season tickets - selling them out as the club had kept 225 for pay-at-the-gate supporters. That'll teach you to read such a rag! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templar Saint Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Arrived today, minus the usual meal discount voucher,anyone know if that's been stopped? Saints site states that 10% discount applies to food at any private function booked, assume you show your season ticket book. Appears to be a change from come and buy some scran and get a discount!! dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 1850 now sold,20% of these are new, on track for 2000 plus season ticket holders. Lerwick Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 1850 now sold,20% of these are new, on track for 2000 plus season ticket holders. That's a 15% increase (or thereabouts) on last season, and there's still over a month to go. Great effort! Fingers crossed that'll give Tommy his budget to go sign players.

The Real Saints Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Maybe, instead of moaning about it on here, you could volunteer to drive to McDiarmid Park, locate your book and parking bay ticket, then send them to yourself. rik2304, ex-montrosesaintee, blueheaven and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too concerned to be honest, we've had the space for the last 5/6 seasons anyway, I figured they'd just forgotten. I'll phone up at some point and probably just pick it up at some point if I'm in Perth, if not I'm sure they'll send it out it I ask so nicely!!

Widge Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Cheers buddy. I'll stop posting now. Good, your growing negativity may well affect the club, in fact I'm sure it's the main reason season tickets aren't all sent out and we've not signed anybody yet!! Shame on you.
