Were all season ticket holders from our last season in the Championship given ample opportunity to renew there season tickets for the first season in the Premier ?
yep , but in fairness there wasn't 17,000 season ticket holders then, a lot were snapped up pretty quickly some have stayed and some moved onto other things ,it is difficult I have a son with two sons of his own who all have season tickets but something has to give especially these days and that's the case for a lot of people , jobs are going not to be replaced ( 200+ gone to Cardiff with the closure of the Tax office ) and now with rumblings of potential job losses at Brigend Ford then the jobs market is getting increasingly smaller .
25 years ago , 90% of Top Flight money for teams came from ticket sales and the money those ticket holders spent at the stadium . These days ticket sales and what they spend at the stadium account for 25% of money for clubs . For a club like us , no expansion makes more sense . People will probably jump on me for this but we are living on borrowed time in the Premiere IMO and IF we go down all that expansion will go unused .
if you think we can add another 10,000 why is it we haven't sold out today.
Swans' last published accounts indicated (if I remember correctly) that c80% of their revenue came from the various broadcasting/ TV deals. The balance split almost equally between Commercial income & Ticket sales.
I think that is most sensible peoples point. If we increased the capacity, we would sell out for 4 or 5 games a season, as you rightly say. Where are these 7000 people waiting for season tickets, when we cant sell out for a game that is quite frankly massive.
