Season Tickets 2024

[culloty82]

And worth noting that, after renewals, they only went on general sale last Monday, so the club can be reasonably hopeful that attendances can at least be maintained around the 600 mark from many of the games around the second half of last season.

[listowelceltic]

Pleasantly surprised with that. Thought with the ownership issues and novelty of first season gone, they might struggle to sell.

[legendz]

Surprised considering Kerry's woeful defending. Kerry didn't really generate any positive momentum over the course of last season. I suppose getting to 10 points was a crumb of comfort. The target next season has to be at least an average of 1 point per game.

[LTFC]

Thats really positive news from Kerry , would have been a concern I'm sure that novelty factor would wear off. What proportion of season tickets would be from the other towns would you know? Curious if Killarney or Listowel people getting into it or is primarily Tralee area?

[listowelceltic]

Poor enough numbers travel from listowel town. 10 maybe for each home game. Don't know how many of those are season ticket holders. Good few from killarney where I'm seated.

Kerry FC evolved from the Kerry League. It was the only viable option in Kerry. It's a big help to have the local district league onside. There is some awful nonsense in Limerick of local games clashing with Treaty matches. That narrow-minded big fish in a small pond shenanigans helps no-one in the long run.

Pats have broken their season ticket record for the third year in a row. Dont have an exact figure but it’s over 2700 I believe

Pats and Rovers have now sold more season tickets than their average attendance just 2 seasons ago, 2019 using Nigels stats - and 2019 was a good year compared with the seasons before!
I guess Bohs must be close to it now, and Waterford afaik, as well as Kerry.

[Calcio Jack]

[QUOTE=LTFC;2170302]Rovers now at 3500 season tickets sold.

Rovers as of yesterday have sold 3,750

[thebronze14]

LOI season tickets going better than the GAA launch anyway!

[brendy_éire]

Aye, not going down well at all.
The removal of the first Championship match from the ST needed to come with a price reduction really. Priced at €150 for NFL D1 & 2.
Unless you're going to all away League games, the ticket isn't worth it. Guaranteed access to tickets all the way to the Championship final won't be a seller for the majority of counties.
They do a four match pass for €65 though. So if you go to the three home games, plus an away, it's ok value.
€20 a ticket otherwise, which is fairly similar to LoI.
There looks to be an increase in the Championship ticket prices coming too, maybe looking €30+, which is steep.

LoI ST prices work out much better value. You really don't need your ST to include aways, the majority will only attend a handful a season at most.

[LTFC]

Any updates from clubs on 2024 season ticket volumes? Last we heard Rovers had hit 3750, Pats over 2700.

Email from Rovers today says 'almost 4,000 season tickets sold.'

[LTFC]

That is some sales from Rovers. I would guess that must be close to 1m in revenue, and I would think about 1/3 of running costs for 12 months.

Would compare very favourably with half of Scottish Prem League clubs and League 2 clubs in England.

[Buckett]

Galway Utd don't release that type of information. Or much information in general for some reason. Phenomenal sales by Rovers, fair play.

I could only get a club plus gaa ST aswell so the value I get was poor enough anyway. I’ll probably skip it this season. The value for my Pats ST is a different gravy altogether. I’ve my seat in the main stand with my name on it.

[LTFC]

Well any news from clubs on ST sales? Rovers we know are over 4000, how about others?

[Dermobohs]

I’d say St Pats have sold a right whack, probably not far off that.
From our pov the main stand(Jodi) is sold out between season tickets, 1250 I think, and memberships( part owners), which I think is about 2000 atm.
Now that could be over estimating the st s I think, membership may be higher.
Sts for the des kelly are I think still available , about 800 sold last I heard.
There will be approx 500 held back for on the day sales too.

Afaik it was around 3000 + or - a few hundred . We have 4000 home end tickets per game so we are looking at a good few sells outs this season.

[oriel]

I think from any club post Covid that has shown increases, for me Pats have been most impressive. I'm sure their fans on here would agree their crowds were quite modest** past 5 or so years, but to get to 4k games most Friday is very impressive. I was a little sceptical on figures last year as main stand was not always full, and gaps behind seating goal, so must have been some squeeze in camac end, but still the increase has been huge.

Then again getting almost 1k away fans 4 times a year with Bohs and Rovers visiting will help, still the home fans need to come to make up majority.

**In 1988 there were some huge crowds in RP as Pats went head to head with Dundalk for the title, a good few that 87/88 season had 5k, great games too.

Dundalk sold 1.5K possibly 1.8 ST in SK era, sales were 'brisk' over xmas per local media, I'd still think do well to get over 1k taking into account current scene.

[LTFC]

Bohs similar, and in a shorter period Shels. Shamrock Rovers have led that charge, jumping average for them from 3k+ to 5k to 6k. Season ticket sales are the lifeblood for lower league teams in England, and should be the same here. Pats/Bohs have probably earned 600K from season ticket sales - pre covid they would not earn that in gate receipts in a season.

[LTFC]

Shamrock Rovers approaching 4250 season tickets sold.
Shels have sold 150 more than in 2023 and its a record for season ticket sales for them.

[kingdomkerry]

4,250 STs must be well over €1m in revenue. How much does a LOI club generate outside of gate receipts. Merchandise, sponsorship, TV/streaming and whatever else.

[placid casual]

4,250 at an average of €200 = €850k.
Decent amount of pre season revenue for the club and with the prospect of possibly up to 10k attendances in some games that should help to offset the comically overstated wages of Towell, Jack Byrne et al.
From a Rovers perspective the only 2 positions in question for the upcoming season are goalkeeper and main striker - Quite important positions, we can all agree!!
Think the focus will be placed once again on winning the league and hoping an extended European run materialises.

[Martinho II]

I was told during the week that 100 STs for my club have being sold.

One goalkeeper won't save the goal alone. One striker will not score a goal alone. Over the long haul, not in some lucky situation. They need help, don't they?
But I agree that many players' salaries are grossly inflated. Good reason to sell them.

[LTFC]

Pats have sold a record number of season tickets.
Same for Shels and Rovers and Kerry in first.
Waterford, must be similar, and possibly Galway and Bohs.

It’s really great to see the continuing increase in interest in the league. The potential to really improve things is there. Great to see Tallaght finished too. We can only hope for similar Council support at Pats.

I think I preferred the League of Ireland when I had it all to myself.

The last time I was at Lissywollen I had to queue for the jacks FFS! On previoius trips it felt like the toilets were a personal en-suite that came with your match ticket.

Down with this sort of thing. I preferred the obscurity and misery of the way things were before the league got popular.

Which will Ballybofey/Stranorlar see first:

1) A by-pass.
2) A railway station
3) A new Finn Harps stadium.

Heard the Chief Operating Officer on radio today. Bohs membership has grown from 400 in 2011 to over 3000 now, and turnover is now over 4m, with nearly 2m or merchandise sales.
Thats a staggering figure and I assume that would mean Rovers must be closer to the 5m.

[Longfordian]

How many seats are there in Dalymount at the moment? Presume there must be very few tickets left for non members/season ticket holders at this point? Fair play to them.

Did he say €2m in merchandise sales for 2023 or a total of €2m since 2011 ( €2m works out roughly as over 28,0000 adults shirts at €70 each !!) if true then no wonder the Marley estate were looking for their rightful royalties

Yes it’s 2 m for 2023.mad away shirts not looking so daft now eh?

Every away is a nightmare for us atm, emails sent to all members the week of the game , cue chaos as 3000 folk look for a maximum of a few hundred tickets. At least Richmond Pk has a big away section, but I’d be surprised if that continues as pats support grows .

Not at all, but a club with those resources finishing in the bottom half looks pretty daft to be fair

Yep, fans not happy campers at all!
Last season proved to me at any rate Devine ain’t up to it.
