I emailed the club yesterday and asked them to give them an update and they have done so. 1316 tickets sold including 726 renewals.
They have also confirmed that they will no longer be selling new season tickets for the West Stand (apart from renewals until 1 July). They have advised they are not selling all seats in the West Stand to allow a certain proportion of fans to buy on the day (or for 2 free tickets for season ticket holders).
As there has been 726 renewals it looks like there are still about 300 or so still to renew.
Just over a week now for existing season ticket holders to renew their existing seat, and new season ticket holders to buy before prices go up on 1st July.
Hopefully club will remind people about this over weekend or Monday, and give update on sales.
Really need a big signing (league 1 experience would help) to boost sales on last week.
Sod giving impetus to ST sales. We need to be signing L1 quality players so we have a chance of staying up.
You could look from the angle that the more ST's we sell the more money we have to buy or persuade a good L1 or higher player to come to CTFC.
Or not. People are mòre likely to buy a ST if we are signing decent players. We have a small fanbase. If players are concerned with things like that they won't sign for us however many STs we've sold. Our playing budget is probably the lowest in L1. We can't sell enough STs to close the gap to the other teams because we only have a 5000 capacity. Our owners need to stump up some cash to at least give us a chance to compete. Or get us a shirt sponsor and stadium sponsor. Whatever ST sales we do get won't be enough.

If we had signed a couple of players ideally top L1 or Championship Im sure that wouldve boosted sales. I doubt we will see many more ST take up hence not much noise from the club
Don’t think the owners will stump up much more extra as it’s basically money down the drain in some ways. They’ve already pumped a whole heck of a lot of dosh in just to keep us solvent and will again I’m sure.
There’s very little return for them at the moment if any at all .
Best bet is the sponsorship side I guess.
The owners wanted promotion surely they worked out that means dig deep or you tumble back down.
I would hope we are up to 1500 with all the season ticket holders there were to renew but Crawley tends to keep quiet once things slow down and tweet adverts etc instead.
I see Birmingham sold 4000 ST's on the first day they went on sale and they think they will average 21000 per game, how can we compete with these resources.
