They send one out every week to supporters on their mailing list, don't they? I always get one.
I don't know anyone who receives emails from the club.
An email from the club with a link to the club shop would be the best and easiest way to sell tickets.

I don't. Needs to be sorted. I'm a season ticket holder and have been for years (Sixfields excepted)They send one out every week to supporters on their mailing list, don't they? I always get one.

Was just at the ticket office and one of the blokes there was talking about how little they've sold saying they just don't understand it all
I actually think it odd that I get mails trying to get me to buy tickets when I am already a season ticket holder. They need to target potential customers, ie people on there database who buy on an ad-hoc basis. It can't be difficiult to distinguish between to ST and non ST's on their database.
They have all the data, they can see who has purchased which tickets when. You could mail out offers to people who haven't been for a while (assuming the ticket site will take offer codes) and things like that.
These days mailing list systems track who has read an email and who has clicked on a link so you can follow up mails where people have clicked to look at tickets but not actually made the purchase.
Just look online and there are approx 3,000 left. So we must have sold 10,000 ish, I think our stand holds about 14,000. Not bad really with all these home games one after another
Not top 6 finish in 45 years etc etc etc. Most people were unaware of this fact until recently.
Was in the City shop this afternoon and a woman assistant said it's been slow all week,nothing like the Gillingham match. She said we're top of the table so why aren't more coming to games ? One of life's strange mysteries !
To be honest though, should the club really be having to send out emails and put up posters and radio advertise?? We're top of the league, the club shouldn't be having to beg people to come.
I'm not bothered though, as long as the ones that go are positive and support the team then that's good. I like our little family of 12,000!
Have people been paid? I haven't yet.

It is called marketing all the successful clubs do it. The reasons why we have lost so many fans over the years is complex and not just down to one thing. But the way the club has been poorly marketed, poor ticketing arrangements etc is in the mix.
Fans will come back but it will take time. Some people haven't been paid yet, for some it is still the dreaded last few days before payday. Some may feel a walk up will be easier against Doncaster rather than Gillingham (although I think they would be wrong).
We get this bitch every week.
I work for myself so put money aside for home games,but my son gets paid end of each month so can't always go.The woman assistant was bemused though as she thought it would be like the Gillingham game again this Saturday.Have people been paid? I haven't yet.
On the basis of what were sold last week, the stand holds 12,000 and the other 2500 were in the 2/3 blocks they opened up on the day. So I think about 9000 have probably been sold.
The marketing this season has been fine
Where did I say it has not been much better this season? I said poor marketing historically was in the mix of many reasons why our fanbase has dwindled over the years. Poor ticket office management on our return to the Ricoh did not capitalise on demand...for instance 3 trips to the ticket office for each of the first two home games back at the Ricoh failed to get me a ticket for either game, because of the stop start sales policy.
I could go on.....the bottom line is we are seeing growth within our fanbase this season. I believe slow growth over league fixtures is a healthy sign, rather than the wild spikes created by tinpot trophy fixtures backed with rock bottom prices.
everything around the club has been so much better this season, but we are still at the beginning and have a long way to go. I said at the start of the season TM had a four year job ahead of him. He is ahead of schedule in many ways but it still remains a 4 year project to begin to turn our club around.
