I really think, given the season ticket rices, that each ticket holder should get one ticket to these glamour games and first refusal on another ticket. As it stands, the st gets you in to all DOMESTIC frienldies, so at least that is clear this time, but it might be more of a carrot for people to get the season ticket if they were given a ticket to when the Celtic first team come over in August

Sales appear to be healthy enough. There were a total of 80 or so prior to the fans forum. After that they are selling three to four a day since. There were 4 sold in the space of 20mins in Terryland on Friday pm while I was there. Dont know what the breakdown is though.

To be honest I would say how many season tickets will be sold by 31st of Dec and only then it will be easy to work out how many we will be down on last season .
Anyone know how many were sold by 31st last year ???????
not a huge amount Claret as we only got the word of our "promotion" on the 11th December 2006 so the selling only really started after that.

Interesting viewpoints lads. However I wonder if Galway are starting from the wrong place. The changes in prices comes from an assumption that crowds can be maintained at current levels, or that any falls in crwods will be offset by increases in prices. Now, I'm not a Galway supporter, but is the buzz/hype etc as strong as it was for last season? Are you not in danger of the same type of fluctuations that every other club has?
no
its all down to hard work, if all the season ticket holders of last season are approached, talked to and made to feel appreciated most will sign up. Once you explain to people the reasons they are fairly forthcoming in the end with the readies. The great thing about professionalism is that the old "we done our best" attitude is not tolerated and the staff at the club are making it work, by doing the work on the ground. Its onwards and upwards
Season tickets sales are going well over 200 sold when all the adult, concession, and family tickets are added together.
If anyone wants to buy a season ticket they can pm me
sold as of today, not including "Terry the Tiger" juvenile tickets.
If you want to purchase a ticket as a Christmas present, please go to Zhivago Records, Shop Street, as the club office is closed (see www.galwayunitedfc.ie).
Alternatively, as trainee said, pm him, gufct or me if you want to purchase a ticket for yourself.
Ronan Coleman - (087) 6972823 - also has season ticket forms and can meet supporters anywhere in the city centre.
I'd recommend getting them off Pa, that Ronan Coleman guy is not to be trusted

Not a bad figure considering the time of year and those friendlies vrs premiership sides havent even been announced yet.It was said that the team coming in March will be a team that got knocked out of the 3rd round of the cup last saturday,so Everton,Blackburn or Bolton it would seem.Sunderland came last year so doubt they will again.Everton would get a crowd,maybe Blackburn might with a couple of irish lads.Also Liverpool and Newcastle could have a free week that weekend but doubt they would come.
Im trying to get 2 casuals to buy season tickets but one said he wouldnt because of the standard of games last season but the other probably will cave to my constant requests.
Either West Ham or Man City wiil be knocked out after the replay. Either would attract a massive crowd to terryland, Im sure nick has good Man City contacts so it could be a possibility.

what exactly are his man city connections? he played in a celebrity/ex-pro tournament on sky i remember hearing recently but what is his involvement or is he just a fan????
I'd be happy with West Ham or City. They wouldn't be too bothered about the game so, if we played our strongest team... whatever that is, we could keep the score respectable and maybe win over a few new fans...

Yeah he's a fan, he arranged a "United Airways" corporate trip to Man City the season before last so i'd say he's got a few contacts over there.

with the season just around the corner what is the up to date number of season tickets sold?
if you buy one now is it true you don't get to sit in the new stand???
Season ticket holders have access to both the new and "old" stand.
Has it changed from this?
