Seat Counters 25/26

[Stretford Born Blue]

I’m assuming the sky bar seats were not on sale for the Villa game, so the attendance figure will be less than capacity?

Correct still sky bar and the hotel suites

IOnce everything is open are we looking at 60k for next season ?

It might depend on what division we are playing.

Anyone know when was the last time we had a bigger home attendance than we’ll have on Sunday?

As an 8 year old I was at FA Cup reply against Newcastle there was a shitload there that night, never saw owt of the game.

I am so glad they’ve sold. He deserves it.

I'm relieved that this has sold out, it would have been a disgrace if we hadn't for not only peps last game, but the grand opening of the new stand.

The club need to take this as a warning now. Tickets for games like this should be absolute gold dust, yet we've lumbered over the finish line. Time to rebuild our local fanbase.

130+ tickets just appeared at the back of 134

We sold over 7000 in a few days, but yes cheaper tickets next year

Just looked it up official attendance was 60844 think you could add quite a few to that number :-)

If we're being pedantic, we've sold 3,500 in the last few days, as the original 3,500 was sold a few weeks ago.

It's not games like this that worry me, of course the big games will sell out. I get worried about Tuesday night fixtures in the middle of February against Brentford.

These last few days haven't filled me with any hope that we'll be selling out games like that.

Not SELLING OUT is a stick to beat City with
invented by the Red Cartel.
The important thing is growth, both as a fanbase but also reflected in revenue.

Thought these extra 3.500 tickets only went on sale at 3pm yesterday (Thursday)
So they've basically sold out in just over a day.
Although being Peps last game has probably helped with sales, its not too shabby.

That’s exactly the problem with reducing everything to current revenue figures, it’s an extremely short-term way of looking at growth.

Empty seats matter because they damage the image of the club to potential fans. People will be drawn toward clubs that feel passionate and culturally important. A packed stadium and good atmosphere reinforce that. Visible empty seats do the opposite.

So acting like attendance doesn’t matter because “revenue is growing” misses the bigger picture completely.

If your stadium regularly looks underwhelming on TV, that absolutely can slow fanbase growth over time, and slower fanbase growth eventually affects revenue too.

Yes 3,500 sold in just over a day, NOT 7,000 like the original poster implied.

If it was any other game I'd agree with you, but it's the last game of the season, with 3 of our legends leaving on a beutiful sunny bank holiday weekend.

The fact that we've crawled across the line doesn't fill me with confidence that we're going to sell this new stand out regularly.

its all about pricing. Make it affordable and we’ll fill the stand/ stadium most weeks
