I have around 10 extra going to the first game but I will not purchase until the week before the game.

people are traditionalist and cant be bothered booking seats through ticketmaster , im lucky im on bartons doorstep but getting here from lower broughton or kersal is a mare , people will turn up on the night im convinced of that , get there ticket and have a pint in the fans bar , the friendly results may have a bearing on peoples perception of where the team are , especially if wire play a strong side and we compete with them

I haven't yet bought tickets for the two friendly games ( Leigh - Warrington ), doesn't mean I'm not going...
concur that lots of people who haven't yet bought tickets will be going ,they just haven't bought the tickets yet .
The 6 tickets / 6 programs for £100 deal isn't on Ticketline
the Flexible 4-7 game season pass deal isn't on Ticketline
the £15 + pint deal ..... etc

This along with the cash turnstile need addressing ,
still 27 odd days to go before the match most people who may be enticed may not even know about deals which the club have launched but aren't visible / accessible from the site.

frankly I'm getting sick of being told off ...

I don't think it's a negative or a telling off.
We need capacity attendances to attract top players.

Is this even news worthy? There's weeks to go before the game and we've got two more fixtures before hand. As has already been said, most peor won't buy until the week before or even on the day. Let's stop stressing about attendances, eh?

I think we're where we should be at the moment. You won't attract fans until you're playing half decent, it's one thing buying a good team but another delivering on the field.

Let's have this discussion at the end of 2014.

People will buy them in the week leading up to the game as usual. Not sure why anyone would have expected us to have sold 6000 a month in advance of the game. Think some of us are getting slightly carried away.

Think someone needs to sit the Doc down and explain how the sales will more than likely go this season. Plenty of walk ups which will increase if the team starts off well.

You'd also think that when the better weather hits that we'll shift more tickets to families.

Talking of the weather we also have that to contend with, there's sure to be a hurricane, earth quake or plague of locust on the day.

Same person who started this thread was asking Koukash to confirm a 'rumour' we'd sold 9k. Barmy.

Agree with all the other posters who have said this isn't even a story. I'm again inclined to view it as good news that we've already shifted more for this year's game v Wakefield than we did for last season's match against the same club.

Ermm no I wasnt!!

As much as I love Koukash and am appreciative for everything he's done, some of his Twitter 'rants' are bordering on cringe worthy!

To moan about the amount of tickets sold 4 weeks before the actual match and before we've played a single game is silly IMHO.

We are one of the worst supported clubs (in terms of numbers) in Super League! So to expect the crowds to dramatically increase just because we've made a few signings is barmy!

30+ years of apathy will not be wiped out overnight! It's just not that easy!

Sick

I thought you were the poster who definitely wasn't Red League who came on here to tell everyone it wasn't Red League mithering the Koukash family on twitter and it was in fact you? Is that not right? I'm confused.

Whilst I'm so excited about our future and agree this is a non story I'd say 3K at this atage is quite good, however there are still some areas where the club are poor (and I'm sure MK will be interested to learn of any areas we are still poor on).

I have a season ticket however my Mrs who to be fair doesn't really have much interest in rugby, has started to catch my Salford bug, she saw the offer for £40 for four tickets 2 adult two child, as I'm sorted she wondered as we have three kids if they would simply give her one adult ticket and three child tickets, simple question to ask so she emailed the club a couple of weeks back and I'm sure anyone on here won't be surprised to hear she had no reply from the club.

So the 3k could be 3004 at this stage.

The club still don't help themselves if they are not interested in taking peoples money and swelling the crowd in our case by another four then they can hardly moan about how ticket sales are going.

I don't even know if she's interested in going now as shes not mentioned it to me since.

Im not red league and I dont post on twitter, just read. Not that I have to explain myself to you. And id prefer if you didnt make assumptions about me without having your facts right, cheers

I have just viewed a fairly lengthy and comprehensive video which I think would be quite successful if our club emulated the idea and distributed to the right people.
It features a former head coach and as I don't think anyone will whinge about copyright
