2019/20 Season Tickets will go back on sale on Monday!
We are pleased to announce, following a positive sales period, that 2019/20 Season Tickets will go back on sale on Monday, 17th June.
Taking on board feedback from the fanbase, Season Tickets will go back on sale for another four-week window.
Over 4,000 Season Tickets have been sold for the new season, with supporters now having an extended opportunity to buy for the new campaign, as well as taking advantage of the finance option offered by Premium Credit.
If you are a first-time Season Ticket holder or have switched your Season Ticket to a different section of the ground (or changed seat row/number), you will be issued with a new Season Ticket card.
Supporters who have renewed Season Tickets in the same area of the stadium will have the new season loaded on to their existing card.
Prices have been frozen from the last sales window for Season Tickets - with the various prices listed below.

Bought in a few players so let's try to boost season ticket sales, that are well down on last year. Good try but we need more than defenders, we need creativity and a second striker who can score goals to really have a chance of challenging for a play off position.

The sales well down i mean?

Don't know what the numbers were on any given date last season but they did say something last year about a new record for sales, so probably not surprising if figures are a bit down.

Prices have been frozen from the last sales window for Season Tickets - with the various prices listed below. Not directed at you Mr Tornados, but this is just typical. What feedback did Gorringe expect, did he think that people were going to tell him that setting a deadline before the end of last season was a good idea? More important than that, because I expect everything he touches to be a disorganised mess, the real question is, what's the actual deadline? I've lost count of how many deadlines there have been already, how is anybody supposed to take them seriously? This is going to end in tears, just like last season with people going in to the shop to renew, before the first home game, and the club refusing to sell them a ticket.

Thing is i cannot imagine myself posting sales are down unless i knew that was in fact true. You would think they would be down after last season but that's not always the case.

That's the internet for you. I agree and have no idea why people do it. Think of something, don't make a scrap of effort to find out if it's correct as long as it 'feels' like it may be, then post it as fact. I had a 2 min look at last season's official website news about ticket sales but didn't stumble across any numbers on specific dates, so like you, I don't know.

Look at Bluesky and Bambie there. I didn't just make it up. Last year was a record for season ticket sales. Someone else posted the other day that the shop told him season ticket sales were well down on last year. There seems go br a desperation from the club to introduced various deadlines for buying them. So I am confident my original comment is correct.

Wow! Well I never, blow me down, they've actually listened - they've seen reason, they've seen sense. Well done Rovers. I was speaking to a Villa fan at work last week and he was waiting for their season tickets to go back on sale, and couldn't believe our sales stopped at the end of May. Mind you, City are much worse. Bear in mind they'll have far more season ticket holders than us: a friend of mine was telling me even as an existing season ticket holder, he receives a brand new plastic season card each year, rather than them updating the existing one. And I've just checked their website and note the deadlines were... 1/ For renewals 'lose your seat' was 18th March: www.bcfc.co.uk/news/renew-your-bristol-city-season-card/2/ And the deadline for new season ticket holders was 3rd May: www.bcfc.co.uk/news/season-cards-201920-faqs/

Either that Concept... or they are well below last years sales and are desperate to get a few more quid in to help the cash-flow (slaps wrist for unnecessary negativity). UTG.

The problem is, like the boy who cried wolf, nobody has any idea when the real deadline is. Ref 1982, they were challenging for a play off place and could have been all sat in their South Bristol slums a couple of days ago, glued to their IBM Aptiavas waiting for the PL fixtures to be released. In that situation, it's not unreasonable to get your ST holders sorted early on.

Gorringe was tweeting his reasons for closing sales at the end of May (5 weeks to sort a card, 3 weeks to post it - crazy I know). Clearly that would have been it. Clearly they didn't plan to put them back on sale. Clearly they have responded to feedback. And just as well really; I don't know how much they paid for the street signs advertising Rovers season tickets were on sale, but it seemed strange to outlay money when the boards went up only a week before the deadline.

Oh come on, it's The Sabbath, a day of rest, don't do this to me. Gorringe was talking complete rubbish. I paid last year and had the card a couple of days later. I do have some sympathy with him though, the product he's trying to sell is a bit rubbish. BTW. I've not seen any of those pathetic A4 bits of printed paper stuck up anywhere advertising season tickets. Can't think how I could have missed them....

It's the only photos I've seen of the adverts, up and around Cabot Circus:
