The target of 10,000 was always a very ambitious one. If we start the season with between 8,000 and 8,500 then that is still not bad going given the continuing poor economic climate. I'm sure the figure will compare well with other clubs. I've not seen many claiming record sales.

Wigan claim to be breaking records.
Passed 8,500 on December 7th

Agree with all off that. I think you might sell a few more than that though. I was reading an article about season ticket sales at football clubs recently (the focus was on clubs outside the top flight) and apparently people tend to underestimate the amount of churn - people moving in and out of the area, getting too old/becoming old enough, losing/taking interest. Was the discount period only for renewals?

I've found seeing the pattern of sales quite an interesting 'experiment'. The idea of the milestone prize draws, which I had thought a very clever idea for getting people to buy early and build momentum, didn't really seem to work. Decent enough prizes, but longish odds and I guess either consciously or subconsciously people saw that and it didn't change much.

I agree with that, things like having a meal with Bomber ain't going to encourage sales imo, however had we secured the services of a good number 7 I consider we would have sold more.
I think if we start the campaign well our attendances will gradually increase, & if we have a good season (better than last) we may see a rise in people prepared to commit to buying a pass.

I do believe it is important that the club reconsider the deadline next time and move it back to Dec 31st.

A variation that maybe could work, in an everyone's a winner is a sort of way, is a 10k IMO, that isn't just the biggest factor, but it is probably bigger than all the rest combined.

after reading the posts after mine, and now that im better informed as to other top teams pass sales. i think it would be fair to say ive definitely over estimated that we could have reached 10k by xmas, and also that ive underestimated how significant the recession has been

Anybody know what happens when you've fully paid by direct debit? Do they post the pass or does it have to be collected?

Asked this question yesterday whilst getting tickets for friendlies and was informed that they are available for collection at the end of January once the final DD has been debited (for those who applied in Sept), didn't ask whether it could be posted.
