How have the ticket sales done for the season Leigh fans? looking at a few full houses this year?

This does not justify the increase in ticket prices. Yes clubs will take slightly less from other teams away fans, but this should almost even itself up throughout the year. Catalans should be the only team to lose out from this, and probably Salford as they have no supporters.

If clubs are going to the effort of promoting sales through their website, Social media, at home games etc, then paying staff at the ticket office where the tickets are been sold, I think it is perfectly reasonable to be taking between £5-£6.25 a ticket from those sales.

Well, I happen to have the answer here.
It started really well post Promotion with over 1,000 sold in the 1st week of ST sales.

There was some hoo-ha created partly by a rush on sales for the North Stand (terrace) & talk on the forum of not getting your spot on the N.S.
DB (who reads fans posts on RLFANS) & his team jumped on it & pushed the marketing further *good business* but sales tailed off & according to my Secret Club Insider we stand at ....

C2,500


So not that good really. Certainly compared to those of Championship Club Hull KR, who it has to be said have done an amazing job.

Hope to see around 8,000 on for Friday, then estimate ....

Home v Saints C8,000
Home v Wire C9,000
Home v Pies C10,000
Home v Cas C7,500
Home v Hull FC C7,000
Home v Widnes C7,000
Home v Giants C6,500
Home v Salford C6,000
Home v Wakey C6,000
Home v Cat's C5,000

It's not a good business decision on Leigh's behalf, despite raising prices and annoying fans. If Leeds bring 1000 speccies but 80 stay away they start losing money. Above that, on a rising scale, they could start losing big money. Whoever has done the maths needs to go back to school. That doesn't include money from drinks, programmes, food etc the stay-always would be buying? Whether the home fans swallow it is another issue, especially after a few pumpings at the hands of the big boys.

TBF I think you are being a bit harsh on yourself. Yes, you maybe could have gotten a few more season tickets for sure but I reckon a few wins under your belt and a decent season you should be able to attract a few more wavering supporters to splash out on a season ticket.

So GH must have calculated that Leeds sell more tickets for away games than other clubs sell tickets for games at Leeds?

Approx 5500 average would be a good achievement for Leigh.

Leigh don't make any money on sales of food and drink

Just out of interest what price is it to sit in the Carnegie stand at Leeds ?

An average of 7-8,000 for the season wouldn't be bad at all for a first season back in SL.

Just checked , to buy on line a ticket for block N in the Carnegie stand for Leeds v Salford , total cost £ 28.50

I rest my case

Firstly ticket prices are for all fans not away fans. The club decided to reduce prices for the less attractive fixtures, Leeds was never considered less attractive. A comparison would be £20 to stand in an uncovered terrace at Headingley for away fans, to have a roof over your head and a seat the price gets towards £30. Then add on parking and the LSV becomes a bargain, I tend to feel those who intended to go will go those looking for reasons not to will find them - your ticket sales are swift at present and it looks like you will fill the away end.

£ 28.50 for a seat in the Carnegie stand

Whoever did the maths needs to go back to school , no wonder its usually empty

Would be delighted if it was many.
4700 at hilton park in 2005 so 6k over the season would be good
Fridays game should be a good marker, hopefully North and west stands are sold out

Depending upon where we are after 6 weeks we will be between 5500- 7000 average. We need to build a fan base for SL, it will take time to get it right, we built a Championship fan base on Sunday 3pm with lots of kids and families, we then got the SL fixtures and the amount of Thurs/fri games knocked the steam out of ST sales, we have 1 Sunday game and 2 Saturdays in stage 1, I suppose being new boys attracted the cameras. Sales are good for Friday and a fair wind in the biggest selling days to come may see over 10k in, the atmosphere will be electric

But virtually no away fans go in the Carnegie stand. They go in the much cheaper western terrace. Yes the odd away fan will CHOOSE to pay more and have a seat but 95%+ go for the cheapest option, which at newly promoted Leigh is £25. At the games most successful Super League club, Leeds, its £20.
