Blues Brother 1,115 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Does anyone know how many we have sold to date?I expected we would have around 35k. Last I heard it was just over 32k. That was about 2 weeks ago.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Around 33k was what the TO told me today.Apparently it fluctuates up and down a lot at this time as people either fail to show for their reserved seats, or their credit payments fail, or they can't get the seat they wanted, so storm off in a huff. etc etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Disorderly 182 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'm sure someone on here will have asked over the last few days. Less than 2000 tickets left for this Sunday.I think a combination of high demand and the way we have started the season will encourage further ST sakes. Still don't think 40k is out iof the question.

LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'm sure lots of people (like myself) are buying single tickets because they can't afford a season ticket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'm sure lots of people (like myself) are buying single tickets because they can't afford a season ticket.That's true.And so is the reverse - Lots of people won't be buying a S/T because they can't find a good seat, or two seats together, because all the available seats are being bought game by game.That's not a criticism of either party btw - it's just how it is when almost all the good seats are gone.If we had a larger capacity stadium, we would have several thousand more S/T holders by now, as people would be able to find more decent seats easily. That's not me arguing for a larger capacity stadium though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Around 33k was what the TO told me today.http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/club-news/item/9884-heading-for-sell-out-sundayNewly appointed club captain Lee Wallace thanked the Rangers supporters today for their incredible backing as season ticket numbers passed the 33,000 mark.Good to see my sources are reliable.

Inigo 32,526 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Only 33k? So many people that don't want guaranteed entertainment!! Still time to buy one and guarantee first refusal your ST for next season to see MW's revolution take the mhanks to task! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still time to buy one and guarantee first refusal your ST for next season to see MW's revolution take the mhanks to task!The problem is that just because there are 33k sold, does not mean that there are 17k seats available.There is in effect only the 2 edges of the Club Deck left, and a few restricted view seats and nobody really wants them.So given a choice between Club Deck Corners, Restricted View, and just not bothering, many will just not bother.

Blues Brother 1,115 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 It's a fantastic amount sold. And if we can continue to get close to sell out every game, that'll do for me. Happier times ahead chaps Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broxi51 48 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 As long as the stadium is near full every game, the club would make more from single tickets sales than season tickets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not me arguing for a larger capacity stadium though. If you go onto the season ticket option on the Rangers website, it will show all available seats. It doesn't blank out any seats that have been sold for the next game, but depending on when you buy them, you might not get the next game.

Confusing, innit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec87 331 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm actually a bit dissapointed it's only 33k if I'm honest. You've got the 4 instalment option so don't get these excuses people saying it's too expensive or can't afford it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got the 4 instalment option so don't get these excuses people saying it's too expensive or can't afford it.People need their money for different things so regardless of it being easier some people simply can't spare the cash. Imagine saying you're disappointed with 33K season tickets sold in the second division of Scottish football after all that is happened though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

folkestoneger 8,128 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It is under £40 a month for a large number of tickets.That doesn't change the fact some cannot afford it but the 10 month option is a reasonable deal with the actual cost of finance about £27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
