Its not often as a Lincoln fan we can be bullish about stuff on or off the field. However the club have said we have sold 4200 ST's in the 4 or so weeks since they went on sale. That is about 3000 more than our sales last season with a couple of weeks to go before our first early purchase deadline.

Been reading that the Cods haven't even got ticket sales started yet? Find that a bit strange when the seasons been over a considerable time for most.

How are other clubs going on sales, will we be in the top 3 in something at least?

We'd sold more than last season by the end of the season but that's not really very helpful as I don't know either number. Probably getting on for 4,000 or something.

Can't wait to find out where they put me.

They sold me my ST seat despite it being unavailable next season due to a permanent TV gantry being put in and they didn't bother telling me or anyone else affected (they knew before ST's went on sale).

I had to contact the Club after I had read an existing ST holder had tried to renew in a similar area and was told he couldn't. Unfortunately, by the time I got an answer, it was 2½ weeks and 3k into sales!

Been a 66% increase in season tickets compared to this time last season with 537 being sold to date, it's not many i know but we're a small club with a town full of Chelsea,Arsenal and Man UTD fans.

1550 last week, early bird offer ends today so would expect an update later. Been pretty busy this week apparently but suppose you have to take that in relative terms.

No official update but unofficial sources suggest about 2700 which is more than last season boosted by the return of the prodigal son and the £50 discount since relegation.

Well thats not weird at all haha. Bit odd its taken them so long though no dig intended here but it's not like they didn't know what division you would be in?
Yeah no idea why it's taken so long, a lot of moaning about it this end too.

We've ALREADY sold AT LEAST 3!

Expecting us to SET A NEW CLUB RECORD.
In all seriousness how are your season ticket sales really going?
I would guess first season ever in League football they will be pretty decent as your home crowds were pretty good anyway given your catchment area size limitations.

Absolutely no idea, the club don't tell us things like that. I'm guessing about 500 at the moment.

We've embarrased ourselves a bit. We announced a scheme whereby if we sold at least 600 terracing tickets and I think 1000 seating tickets within the early buy period, then prices would be reduced for everyone, with further reductions all the way to around 1200 terracing (don't know how many seating) the savings on offer were quite significant, with the maximum discount if reached meaning they'd be reduced all the way to just over £200.

The early buy period ended at the weekend, we had failed to make our minimum targets (think only about 400-odd terracing tickets sold)... they've extended it a further week.

Think the most we've ever sold before is around 2000 when Keith Alexander was the manager.

We've got no manager and only 7 players - what on earth can go wrong.

Our season ticket sales for the last few seasons have been low when you look at our average attendances, no idea why. Quite funny how this scheme has failed, especially for terracing ST's, but we've still sold a couple hundred more than last season's final total.

The club haven't said anything, so can only go on the fact that we've frozen our prices from last season and the buzz around the place after getting promoted, which should mean record sales. Like you say our average was decent last year (around 1800) with a few 2000+ home turnouts towards the end.

I'd expect it'll end up being somewhere between 6-800 tops.

We've sold something like three times as many as this time last year (but probably on par with years before that), which is odd as I'm certain (but can't be arsed googling) the club denied ST sales had dropped under Davis. The rate Artell is going, could be best ST ticket sales in a few years.

Its the most stupid thing ever, but hey at least we have fan representation on the board to help influence these decisions......

A few weeks ago we'd sold 1400 after the first early bird deadline.

Second deadline is Friday and I'd imagine the new signings will have shifted quite a few more as well!

We've sold 907 as of this evening, which doesn't sound a lot but is already way past last season's total, so very good for us.

It's amazing what staying in the league by the skin of your teeth on the last day can do to generate some interest!

We've sold just over 2,000 since going on sale a few weeks ago and the early bird finished today. If we can get Upto 2500 or so I'll be happy, maybe 2750.

With local derbies aplenty and hopefully decent football on view, I'm hopeful of more 5000+ crowds next season

(That is until Notts police move Grimsby Notts county Lincoln Coventry to 12.25 KOs or something daft, then chesterfield will be 7am on a sunday on the other side of the moon)

We've sold 3100 at Coventry, likely to increase to 4000 by the start of the season. An historic low for us (Sixfields aside), but given the talks of a ST boycott, it could be worse.

Is there anyone else who hasn't signed any players yet - or even not had a rumour of anyone joining.
