That mite only be less than 500 people if they have bought the 5 year deal.

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Mon Aug 02, 2010 7:42 pm  

I read it as £500k, however i also read it as this being the amount for those taking out 5 year season tickets, as that was what the article was about.

If so, that works out at around 500 people having signed up for 5 year season tickets within the first week of sale.

I suspect total season ticket sales are quite a bit more though, judging by how full the various seating blocks are in the north stand. Not to mention the people who have bought terrace specs.

It said in one of the rugby papers today that saints have pulled in £500,000 in 7 days on season tickets.

Yup. I think it was League Express. McManus was quoted as saying Saints had earned half a million squid in seven days on the season tickets.

Aren't we a bunch of suckers, eh?

The club are mortgaging those advance sales to help fund the stadium. Leeds United FC and National League 2 here we come.

A nice positive to see so much cash coming in up front from supporters & the 5 year deal is great value for you whichever deal you take.
However I see a certain flaw in the cash up front price compared to the DD monthly payment. It is only around 1% per year (flat) more to pay by DD, why would fans pay 5 years money up front in one go if the DD payment is fixed at pretty much the same overall amount for the 5 year period anyhow?
Surely the cash price could be a bit less or the DD a bit higher comparatively, if the costs associated with the DD mean Saints get less money for the same 5 year ticket but on the dribble then someone isn't doing there workings out properly

I've still not bought as I don't want to be stuck on the 10m line so decisions will ahve to be made this weekend, but when I enquired about the South Stand I was pretty much fobbed off.

The prices are on the online flyer that was emailed the other day though.

I think the South stand will be a better spec but you'll probably only get the end blocks and the lowest rows of the middle blocks coming onto the market at the same or similar price as the north stand.

Phoned them up to query that point, its just the way they do their billing they said, its for 5 years and the price will not alter year on year.

The credit company who you are paying the 60 month DD to effectively loan you £216 (+£15 transaction charge) every year for five years to cover the cost ONE year's season ticket . Hence, you get a one year deal each year for the next five years.
