'Bradford Bulls are on course to sell 10,000 tickets'

Bradford Bulls’ new owners last night revealed 4,200 fans snapped up their season tickets before a deadline for the cheapest deal ended on Saturday – but remain confident the club will hit its target of selling 10,000.

Bulls’ commercial director Simon Kenny confirmed the Super League side had sold more season tickets than the previous outfit had at this point last year, despite OK Bulls’ tickets costing more than double the price of those sold by the now-defunct Bradford Bulls Holdings Limited.

In September the club’s new owners Omar Khan and former Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe revealed the price structure for season tickets at the newly-rejuvenated club – announcing an ‘early bird’ offer which would mean supporters could buy a season ticket for 13 games for the price of nine, as well as an initiative that would see under-12s able to cheer on the team free of charge at home matches.

The cheapest adult early bird price for the Terrace was £180 – more than double last year’s lowest price of £85 – but the club chiefs said the new prices would bring financial stability to the club after its financial crisis and bring its prices in line with rival Super League sides.

Mr Kenny said some fans had told the club’s management that they were waiting until the ‘early bird’ offer had expired so they could pay full price in support of the club.

“It’s fantastic that fans feel so strongly about the Bulls,” he said.

“We would really like people to carry on coming forward and buying them for Christmas presents. We need people to continue to support the club by buying tickets so we know where we are for the start of next season.

“We have sold 4,200 and we are still confident that 10,000 sales before February is achievable.”

Adult ticket are now priced at £220 at the Terrace, £275 at the Tetley’s Stand and £330 at the Premier Club.

To buy tickets, call the club on 08448 711490 or visit the ticket office.

A fans’ forum will be held in The Coral Stand at the newly-named Provident Stadium at 7pm on Friday.

I've got mine.

The season tickets before proved too cheap to be sustainable without large numbers coming through the gates to pay. Glad there are now business people in charge who will keep the club going and get it stronger - dare I say it, where we used to be.

Might be a tough year but with the stability, I hope we'll be challenging for honours in a couple of seasons.

Well on course to sell 10,000.
Only 200 tickets were sold in the early bird extention and since the figure was released a few weeks ago.
Why do the club think an extra 5,800 will be sold now the prices have gone up, the saving is not much anyhow. You may aswell pay on the day as if you miss 2 games your losing out.
Call a spade a spade, season tickets sales are down and won't touch 10,000 but at least they are correctly priced and the future of the club isn't being gambled away like it was with the super cheap tickets.

I'll pay on the gate this season... as I may miss about 4 games anyway. It'll ensure the club has more cash coming in through the season though - which they didn't get much of with cheap season tickets!

The facts speak for themselves.
Only 200 extra tickets were sold in the early bird extention.
I'm speaking on the reality of the situation, I have acknowledged that at least the club isn't gambling it's future but no way are 10,000 going to be sold. Infact doubling your current sales would be a fantastic achievement but 10,000 is as realistic as QPR going on an unbeaten run till May.

I agree with TVOR - and we'd have had more season tickets if it weren't for £230m City Park which is driving fans away from Bradford, and if the council didn't blah, blah, blah...

10,000 may be too much to expect but it was stated on here that with the corporate sales the figure was around 6000 a few weeks ago. The original aim was for 7500 which now appears a possibility.
Would be interesting to find out what other SL clubs sales are before condemning our figures.

If its adult season tickets 4200 is a great number, if oap and junior tickets (12- 16 ) we could be struggling financially again if performances on the field don't attract pay on the day customers

we dont want the club to be giving out false figures (like in the past) as it will then be egg on our faces if the total of 10,000 isnt reached.remember peter hood stating we would be top 4 material..need a say more. lets be realistic and apprehensive of selling less tickets than anticipated (we are re building) and cut out the childish comments on here.

I'd be surprised if we sold 10k season tickets again this year. Afterall a lot of casual fans or people who can't make it to so many games bought tickets last year, considering you only had to go to 4 games to make it worth it. I think a lot of those kinds will pay on the day this year instead. We probably won't be far off the same attendances, but less will be season tickets.

Than has been done in the last 4 years.We should be supporting these people not moaning and bit***g about what's going on.
By the end of this week, a bar that's open 7 days a week, 2 fans forums, a comedy night, a quiz night, christmas entertainment, a ladies night, a christmas fair, a new sponsor, a sponsors evening will have all happened. Oh I forget they're doing this so our great club fails. Stand up and be counted or shut up.

That would be those who aren't yes men.

Many on here probably thought the sun shone out of Hoods backside when he was giving cheap season tickets away and wouldn't hear a bad word against him, but then were the first to turn when the shyte hit the fan.

The club nearly didn't exist a few weeks ago, being a little more cautious won't go amiss rather than announce unrealistic season ticket sales. I just hope that budgets are not being based on 10k people turning up otherwise admin will be on the cards again.

Bulls will sell 6000 maybe 6500 if they are lucky. Bulls are no longer one of Super League's big boys -Wigan,Leeds,St Helens- and in recent years Hull and Warrington are now bigger fish too. Bulls are a mid range SL club in every form-team,finance,su
pport-and a very ancient old stadium not fit for the modern age.

We never sold 10000 when we were a top side. We'll sell over 5000 which is plenty. The rest can pay on the day bringing in even more revenue.

Considering we expect to finish in the bottom half i think we've showed what great support we have and the the RFL wont be able to cut short our licence.

Lets bring out the new shirt so we can sell loads of them aswell.

It seems with the press release the other day regarding Entertainment the new regime are at least trying to do that which is more than the previous owners ever day.
I'm not a big fan of Gerry Sutcliffe and I did have my doubts regarding OK...BUT...Both of them are going in the right direction it seems.

Agreed. But it must be hard for them to resist the knee jerk reaction of just bringing everything back straight away without thought of the costs. I really think that OK and GS have done well so far. they've not promised us the earth, but I like the noises they are making!

Another day of mindless petty name calling amongst so called adults. what a shame some people cant come on here and just have an adult conversation.
ANYONE with the slightest sense at all could see that season ticket sales were going to be down this season.
First of all you loose the free loaders only were interested in getting something on the cheap,(but many come on here and pretend to be real fans). then there are the many who have been thrown out of work and can't afford to pay up for a season ticket. i would think these are the people who will pay at the gate if and when they can afford to go.
then we have the ones who were genuine fans but have just got fed up with the carry on at odsal over the past few years, some of who may return if results on the field start to go our way.
I think they will have done really well if they manage to sell 7000 season tickets by the start of the season.some people may be holding back to see how recruitng goes. We'll just have to wait and see.

6:20pm Tue 4 Dec 12

For a start we still have a team to support and we still have a hardcore of season ticket holders plus loyal fans who will attend games but not buy a season ticket for whatever reason. To get a perspective on how relevant any of this is in th pi**ing contest look at Newcastle , a supposed football hotbed with loyal passionate supporters. Their average crowd over the last 20 years has fluctuated between 21000 and 52000 linked to their league standing. They now have around 30000 season ticket holders I think. This is not unique to the Bulls and we can kick on from where we are now. Entertaining rugby and decent results will get people back over months and years. We have a good set of players, maybe not quite enough yet but COYB

YES but had saints just had 5 years of empty promises then just come out of administration, wonder how many tickets they would have sold then.
like most clubs saints have their share of fickle fans. Just count your blessings, whoever you support. you never know when its your turn.

That's the problem with some people on this forum, they're more bothered about who posted than what they've posted.
fullt agree with you and also tvor. there ate too many sensitive souls on here. id love to see them sell 10000 but it wil NOT happen. right all you trolls (this seems the in word on here often used incorrectly) you can start on me too now

Well done to the OK Bulls team both on and off the field. More has been done in the past couple of months to generate pride, passion, belief, a community spirit and season ticket sales. Than has been done in the last 4 years.We should be supporting these people not moaning and bit***g about what's going on.
By the end of this week, a bar that's open 7 days a week, 2 fans forums, a comedy night, a quiz night, christmas entertainment, a ladies night, a christmas fair, a new sponsor, a sponsors evening will have all happened. Oh I forget they're doing this so our great club fails. Stand up and be counted or shut up.

It seems with the press release the other day regarding Entertainment the new regime are at least trying to do that which is more than the previous owners ever day.
I'm not a big fan of Gerry Sutcliffe and I did have my doubts regarding OK...BUT...Both of them are going in the right direction it seems.

I highly doubt you'll get anywhere near 10,000 Season Tickets if the figures above are correct.
Nice to see a fellow Rhino on here Ronnie, just be careful what you say or you get attacked by the forum trolls.
You last comment here about the 10,000 not being reached will not go down well I'm afraid, they don't do truth.

Marching on together.

We never sold 10000 when we were a top side. We'll sell over 5000 which is plenty. The rest can pay on the day bringing in even more revenue.

Considering we expect to finish in the bottom half i think we've showed what great support we have and the the RFL wont be able to cut short our licence.

Lets bring out the new shirt so we can sell loads of them aswell.

COYB
To be accurate we never sold more than 5k season tickets even at height of bull mania when we were getting 14k average attendances. We've always been dependent on walkup support. Last couple of years of high season ticket sales and low pay on the gate were the exception rather than the rule. 4600 adult tickets sold plus another 1400 or so junior and corporate places sold is a decent start and brings in at least as much revenue as the 10k cheap tickets sold last year. When you add in the walkup support, even allowing for a thousand or so not bothering every week, and the new sponsorship deal and we're already in a stronger position financially than we were last year

Walk up support will depend highly on results so after 2 games walk up support less than a Wallace Arnold full.

I think the new owners are trying and bulls fans and all fans respecting sl clubs should sit back and see this instead of moaning about it. Yes we aren't what we used to be far from it but we are rebuilding and trying to start again and be the club we once were. This isn't going to happen overnight we need a couple of seasons to pull the youngsters through and gain experience. For years we have been crying out for the youngsters to be given a chance rather than shipped off to rival teams and playing better than ever. As for sales it's about time the ticket prices went up, how can a company sustain a business selling tickets at such low prices. I'm in a agreement we probably won't sell 10,000 tickets but a few months ago we wouldn't have been selling any. Lets take what we can get and appreciate that the next few seasons are going to be tough as before but the bottom line is the bulls are still standing and trying to become a big club again. We should stand and support them. COYB!!

I'm not sure were a few people on here have got our Season Ticket "figures" from?
We haven't released any statements to the press? Confused.

I've been reading the comments section for a while and wasn't going to join up with all the bickering that happens on here but I've caved in.

Here here it's nice to get a sensible Rhino's fan on here, who supports his team, not his ego!

Like you Ronnie, not sure where the actual tablets of stone figures come from re other clubs that haven't yet published them..
But I would expect that Leeds figure of 6,500 is a much earlier figure.If correct.
The overall ST tickets will be way above that I suspect, and rightly so!

Our 10,000 has got to be a target figure to aim for, irrespective what anyone says.

Brian,
I know you're not brightest light on the Christmas tree, but surely even you can see that chin will not fit ***.
I guess that's why you're a sharkratbull and not Rhino.
