Here we go, a positive thread! Let's see how long it lasts...

I've just done a bit of reading up on Season Ticket sales for this year. I've got a theory that 2012 might be the best attended ever for attendances.

Before we start, Widnes will probably double Crusaders average crowd and witrh respect, take more away fans.

Saints & Salford move into their new grounds. Catalans stadium fully open all year, Warrington expanded and Wakey won't start the season with the negativity they did in 2011.

The info i've gathered so far is...

Bradford 10243
Cas ?
Huddersfield 6300 (record sales, previous record 4800)
Hull 6500 (as of Dec 21)
Hull KR 4500 (as of November 2011, up 10% on 2011)
Leeds ?
London ?
Salford ?
St Helens 9500
Wakey ?
Widnes 4000 (previous record 2800)
Wigan 9724

If anyone can help filling in the gaps please do so...

I'd like to hear ST sales for all divisions, including the NRL too if people have them, and if people have a comparision to 2011 to give some context it would be great.

Hull FC are above 9000 and Hull KR last I heard where over 5500

Hopefully it'll be a good year for attendances.

Nice to see some new stadiums also.

Would be great if Wire, Wiggin, Saints, Bradford, Leeds and Hull all got to 10k

Well Bradford are guaranteed a minimum of 10k per home game. And that's before you add on away support and walk ups

Saints are only 500 off that and Wigan the same, i'd say Leeds won't be far off either.

Any news on wire ticket sales

Wigan only seem to update the season ticket sales counter thing every few weeks and iirc that hasn't changed for at least a couple of weeks now.

Id guess were above the 10k mark now.

I have been informed that Sheffield Eagles have sold more season tickets for 2012 that any other year since we re-formed. I don't have any figures but it was a very good source.

Leigh were on 718 last week at the forum. We need crowds of 1800 to break even under our new management, previously it was 4000-we get around 2300.

Jonny you really need to pay attention

718 was last years total, so far we are at 200+ , well down on last year, but no early bird offer, our adult ticket is double what Bradford are asking

According to the fans forum, Trevor Barton announced:

78 adult STs
149 concessions
290 juniors
67 TDC members

It seems he misread the juniors amount, but Kieth Freer did say the amount last year was 600.

*by the way, I can add up, I have just gone through the notes I made from the forum and got confused!

WERE asking. If you buy a season ticket now it'll be £187.

However, the club did announce a half season ticket offer at the end of last week. A 7 game ticket for £70 where you have to pick which 7 games you're attending (2 from Wigan,Saints,Leeds & Wire , 3 from Hudds,Cas,Wakey,Widnes and both Hull teams and 2 from Cats, Salford & London) or a 6 game ticket for £85 which lets you turn up for any 6 games you'd like.

That's a good idea.

If Leigh brought that in I could pick which games I could go to around the shifts i'm on.

Wakey should be well up on last year, sold at least 4k season passes so far, maybe nearer to 4.5k now - a 300% increase on last year!

Guessing average attendance will be somewhere around 8k.

8k would be superb for Wakey!

Well the Bulls have been pushing new ideas to turn round the falling crowd numbers they were having. There's been the usual nay sayers about the pledge schemes, but their negative response to the pledge scheme doesn't change the fact that for 2 consecutive years the Bulls have a guaranteed 10k tickets sold for every home game.

What price per match does it work out at?

4.5 thousand season TICKETS sold So far at Wakefield, not passes they only sell season passes in hull

Tomayto/Tomarto

Either way good news all round, and with the travel subsidy - the Wakey faithful should become a bigger travelling army to boot.

Broncos tickets are about the same as Quins last year. Don't expect much change down here unless the team has a good year on pitch.

How about Leeds ST sales?

Widnes are not far of 4500 stronghold memberships (season tickets) and I think were looking for a 7500 average first year in.

Our away following is very good and we should take good numbers no matter which club we travel to.

Well done Widnes, in fact well done to a lot of clubs, strong demand for Super League in the heartlands
