Yeah I don't think it was anywhere near 7K for actual season tickets sold (excluding match bundles). Just been doing some digging and from reports and the odd comment from that season I'm putting it at just below 6K.
They didnt formally announce it as 7000 would have meant a refund - so it was possibly less than 7000 (either that or they didnt want to give us a refund!)
:emoji_family_wwbb:
we should be OK now we have a decent manager in charge
Barnsley already sold 8000
Commendable, as they've been relegated - bet there is an offer within that, as they've not traditionally had high support.
Looks like they were £285 - £390 in Early Bird and £350 - £475 after Early Bird which was 2nd May I think.
Hasnt really gone up since last week.
Disappointed , this city proving once again they are just big game Charlie’s and have no real interest in backing their club .
Fed up with it tbh , all the excuses under the sun over recent years and people haven’t really said much because of the owners .depressing but true.
Only interested in days out at Wembley.
A lot of peoope just haven't got the money, which is why the club should really push the finance option.
It works out around £30ish a month and the interest isn't too bad at all.
Stumping up £300 might prove really hard for a lot of people, but they could probably manage the Zebra finance thing on a monthly basis.
It increasingly looks that way. I get that every team has people that will only turn up for the big games and people that can't come week in week out but when you compare our season ticket sales to some other clubs the idea that we are in any way a big club that has some sort of right to be in the Championship or PL goes out the window.Sunderland have sold 18000 as of Friday on the back of a double relegation .
Pompey sold well over 10,000 last season off the back of promotion .
This club just doesn’t have the core fanbase

Said in the past that if we reached the holy grail of the PL the Ricoh wouldn't be full every week as many seem to expect. This just reinforces that view. Promotion, two winning visits to Wembley in two years, cheap tickets when compared to other forms of live entertainment and still people don't back them.
Must be very frustrating for Robins, who has clearly stated on more than one occasion the more season tickets we sell the bigger the player budget we have, to see the likes of Sunderland at 18K while we struggle to reach a third of that.

The club cannot win here
Even if season tickets were 200 pound which I believe they were for one season , we wouldn’t sell many more .
We had to give 14000 tickets away last season and the match tickets were Cheaper to go with it and couldn’t even get over 14000 paying customers .
New owners come here tomorrow then the excuses are completely gone and il tell you what , attendances would hardly budge
Sorry, Evo, I just don't get that argument.I just don’t buy it Otis sorry .
We are a bigger city than Sunderland and Portsmouth , bigger than many cities but have noticeably weaker attendance figures and season ticket sales than nearly all.
This city has more wealth than Sunderland , it’s surrounding area is what you would call middle class , we just don’t have the fans
But why does that impact us to such an extent and not other clubs?A lot of peoope just haven't got the money, which is why the club should really push the finance option.

The vast majority in this city support your Man Utd’s Liverpool’s and Arsenal’s and rarely ever do they attend their matches either .
Go to Newcastle Leeds Sunderland Portsmouth I bet you any money these cities are majority home town backers .
Honestly this city doesn’t deserve a good team , and robins doesn’t deserve the city to shun him and his teams magnificent efforts.
It really makes me sick
Otis mate there are over 350,000 people in Coventry , the surrounding areas aswell .Sorry, Evo, I just don't get that argument.
Sunderland's average attendance last season was 27,600.
Ours was 11,200. Big difference.
Also, you have to factor in that Sunderland are red hot favourites, so a lot of their fans will be expecting a very big season from them and they have also reduced prices.
I couldn't fork out the ST in full, so had to do the payment option and I'm sure it's the same for many others.
You also need to factor in the amount of fans we lost. Yeah, they all came to Wembley, but that's just one game. Bit different to going up week in week out.
There's still time anyway. Be great if we can get to near 7,000.
We are only just on the up after forever in the doldrums. Nearly 20 years of abject failure.But why does that impact us to such an extent and not other clubs?
Sunderland STs are £310-£415, Pompey are £369-£449, ours are £322-£368 so it certainly can't be the price. I refuse to believe that Sunderland and Pompey are far more prosperous cities than ours so its something else. Can't be a boycott as people turn up in huge numbers for certain matches. Can't be the location of the Ricoh, parking etc as again people turn up for the big games.

Sunderland were obviously Premier league just the season before last and Pompey have had very recent success.
I do agree we should be doing better, but I think the being so crap for so long has proved to be a massive factor for us and hit us very hard as a club.
2015/16 was a flat rate of £249. Was a slight increase but nowhere near enough to offset the lower price. That worked out at £11 per game.Even if season tickets were 200 pound which I believe they were for one season , we wouldn’t sell many more .
to me that should give us more of a boost not less.
Sunderland have been mismanaged for years and we all know how that can sap the enthusiasm out of the support.
